IDK, some of those demands are absolutely reasonable. Nobody should be making threats or visiting their facilities.
Just stop buying products connected to Sony. I did when they did the helldivers account thing back in the day. That’s why I never played helldivers, actually.
My first thought was “so this is how they got my fake from back in the day to scan”
I don’t know if it was a test run or if it showed the ability to weaponize Extremely Online folks.
I remember gamergate as something that, on the surface, looked like possibly legitimate criticism, but then as you said, people that went into it became kind of odd, with their own language used to describe it which didn’t really make sense. Like, the words were there, but they were using kinda tortured definitions in a way that weaponized them (…into a misogynistic culture war).
Personally, I’ve always been fascinated with language as someone who basically grew up bilingual, and picked up a few along the way since. There are concepts that I simply am unable to discuss in certain languages, because the words are not there.
Weaponized language had been around for some time. Hell, Gingrich basically made his career by using specific loaded phrases in speeches given to an empty senate chamber, specifically for the weirdos who watch C-SPAN. Similarly, you had some insular (often hate) groups that had their own internal lingo. Gamergate seems to have combined the two in a way that is now becoming increasingly common in politics.
2014 for me. Gamergate was…weird. I didn’t realize it fully at the time, but there were a few people I previously respected that I started having serious questions about.
Couple years later, I started cutting maga out of my life and if felt exactly like those gamergate folks.
I was trying to do a cinnamon VB, which apparently is not the way to start. I don’t really have a second computer to convert, which is the issue.
I tried installing Linux but something went wrong and it didn’t work.
I know better than to ask for basic computer help in a Linux community.

I have played GTA5, and I didn’t remember that until reminded. Methinks the lady doth protest too much…
It’s the fad of the day (decade).
If you look closely, you might start seeing “high in fiber!” creeping in. You know how the last ten years there were articles about how Americans don’t eat enough fiber? Well, now fiber is the new selling point…
Nope. Now it’s intentionally misleading. You don’t want that.
I got the warlock expansion for D2 on bnet using my card on file, which expired several years earlier and I just never updated.
Charge said it went through, I have access to expansion content, but I never had a corresponding charge on my bank account. I think I got an email about it, but I ignored it. Still have access, no apparent evidence of payment, and there’s no negative balance on my bnet account that I’ve found.
I think I just got the game for free by using an expired CC?
Nah, write the duress password on a piece of paper and keep it in your phone case. Then keep your mouth shut. Let the cops find it and try it themselves.
Tbh 100k/yr is poverty wage in downtown San Francisco…
This is impossible.
