Things you find in a audio recorder in Bioshock
It’s so crazy that the dev team even went into damage control to point out that it was not them.
That Slavic team probably feeling like crap today because of something GoG did.
This is what’s so funny.
That meme where Steam literally does nothing while their competitors shoot themselves in the foot is supposed to be a joke.
Even if it was sent maliciously and intentionally, if they apologize and it doesn’t happen again I’m not going to get bent out of shape. These email campaigns are run by peons low on the totem pole and hardly get any thorough review.
It is not run by peons. Email marketing is a major source of revenue for companies. It’s one of the main pillars of communication that’s directly to actual engaged customers.
At my job, the ad copywriters, the PR team and the email marketers control all messaging of the brand. Everyone else (the website content team, the social media team, etc) goes to them for validation and content checks. It’s a big deal.
Don’t let that stop you.
This is messed up, as a contributor to their Patreon to preserve games, I wrote some pretty harsh words.
In not linking reddit, which has way more details about how it went about.

In email marketing, you typically send emails in batches. Sometimes for A/B testing, other times to avoid spam catchers/overloading the system. Or sometimes for geo location purposes (like everyone gets the email at 8am, so it batches it to time zone)
The GoG reps said they sent it to a small batch and after the call out, stop the email sends and fixed it.
Racists wil Fuck around and then plead ignorance to avoid Finding Out.

politics •'The golden years are not golden’: Boomers are hoarding most of America’s wealth and power because they’re terrified of outliving their moneyEnglish
14·1 day agoMy wife’s grandmother was expecting to die at age 90. So she burned through most of her retirement money. Now she only has 10% of it and she’s 92 years old. She downgraded her living space a few times already.
I’m a bit terrified about what the future brings for her when she’s still alive and she runs out of money fully.

Reddit•12 year old account permanently banned. First post on lemmy :)English
2·1 day agoWelcome to the party pal! Honestly, it feels like old reddit here and I love it!
My favorite part was that GoG was told they cannot send this email in Germany because it would break the Nazi rule so they purposely get blocked their emails to getting to Germany.
In other words, they knew.

Fuck AI•School shooting survivor sues "AI" gun detection firm after system failed to spot weaponEnglish
9·2 days ago“Thanks to AI in our schools, we were able to detect over 1000 violations of rulebreaking! Kids using bathrooms for too long, kids sneaking candy into rooms… We’ve even caught one kid who brought in a BANNED BOOK! We are glad to take even more of your limited school budget to keep your kids safe!”
Yeah they’re the cucks who bullied some kid over magic cards.
They also bitched about being villains in Red Read Redemption 2.

World News•Meta Silently Added Face-Recognition Code for Its Smart Glasses to Millions of PhonesEnglish
74·4 days agoI support smart glasses. Not from meta or Google or whatever the fuck.
The more cameras we point at cops and people in power, the better.
The moment an open-source privacy focused set of frames exist, I’m buying it.
There was that meme where a guy said he was the most straight person ever because in college, he blew a guy, and then had sex with him, and both times, he hated it.
So he was 100% confident that he was straight. So if you never had gay sex, you’ll never know and so you’re just a uncertain straight.
















I will not stand for this anti-fireball propaganda.
