  • Countries do this way more often than you think… they have always done that with movies preventing official releases or releasing edited versions, and as for games tons have localized versions since ever, from censorship of nudity in Japanese games in the USA market to censorship of Nazi flags in games in Germany and even LGBT references in tons of Eastern countries. I’d love if piracy exploded because fuck them billion dollar companies, but they usually just change a few art assets and that’s it.

    What type of content you fear your government may consider risky? Is someone there in a paranoia of video games causing violence?
    Unless they would be banning stuff like GTA, Call of Duty and Battlefield entirely because of violence, I really doubt gamers would go out of their way in enough numbers to cause any ruckus just because they absolutely have to play the version of the game that has an LGBT flag in some building or certain character is transgender.


  • That’s a very common and very reasonable request, and given the size of Turkey, I don’t think they’d prefer to lose the whole market there instead of having a lawyer in the country to deal with local legal requests.

    Only when it’s companies run by manchildren, like X and Rumble, they go on the internet to cry about censorship and shit when they pikachu-face-discover they have to follow a country’s laws to operate in that country.

    ps: You are already not buying games when you pay for them on Steam.

    edit: To people downvoting: are you also mad that Valve/Epic/PSN/etc has to follow GDPR data regulations for EU citizens and keep representatives there, or is sovereignty only bad when a non–first-world country dares to claim it?













  • Amelia wasn’t AI-generated, she was literally goverment-generated for a stupid game saying you should mind your own business instead of watching and sharing content online or you can be arrested (people are just using AI to create more art with the character, but the character was created by the government). In the game the content was anti-immigration stuff and Amelia the girl trying to get the main character to get involved, so some dumbass just gave them a waifu lol
    The game however basically tells you have to choose between being a racist or accepting 1984-surveillance (which UK is already doing anyway). Really great government propaganda.


  • Just brought him back from the vet, he had to do a thorax drainage and spent two days taking IV diuretics, but he will complete the treatment at home, and on Monday we’re gonna x-ray him to see what is wrong (we’re guessing heart, but because of the liquids the previous x-ray couldn’t see properly), but he is fine now.
    He eats normal cat food, but I was going there twice a day just to give him Churu (motherfucker won’t eat from the bowl, he needs to taste our servitude). I actually took a picture yesterday:

    Hey, it’s been a long while I’ve been thinking about making a website for my pets (I currently take care of 35 cats and 4 dogs), and I started working on it for real the other day. Gonna see if today I make a profile for him and his brother (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/62154428). Let me know If you are interested, then I will link it when it’s ready.
