You might see friends today suggesting you support Hard Drive on Patreon today. You know, the funny video games version of The Onion? As a journalist, I will firmly tell you DO NOT GIVE THEM A DIME.

The CEO has pushed out all former staff that have built the site up to its current greatness and has been pushing use of AI. The staff begged to have a Patreon before basically all being pushed out, but the idea was refused until now, when it will only line the pockets of a single person instead of hard working writers.

I know they might have provided laughs before, but Hard Drive is a shell of what it was once. Let it die and support the people who actually made those moments of joy possible.

Edit: I am trying to compile all of the sources of info at this time into one big post for ease of access, if you want to keep up with that as it's updated: https://www.tumblr.com/literalgrill/738694194534776832/do-not-support-hard-drive-on-patreon

Rockstar Games has asked its staff to return to the office five days a week, starting in April. The Edinburgh-based company says this relates to completing development on GTA 6 “at the level of quality and polish we know it requires,” and to mitigate security breaches. GTA 6, which is not due to ship until 2025, experienced leaks in September 2022 and December 2023. IGN reports that Rockstar developers are accusing the company of "broken promises," and are concerned about crunch as well as overall impacts to health and wellbeing.

#introduction Bonjour, I'm Marc (a.k.a. "T0K_"), a #phd student working on #privacy -preserving technologies. Outside the lab, I spend my time playing #videogames and losing #ctf challenges.

With this account, I'll promote some of my academic work . I might also engage in stupid and vibrant debates about random geeky stuffs .

I'm not entirely sure yet what I'll do with this Mastodon account, so I don't exclude the possibility of some cat pics or even some shitposting

A tech editor recently played Game Boy Advance games on his iPhone thanks to a new emulator called iGBA, which may be the first Game Boy Advance emulator allowed on the App Store since Apple began allowing emulators last week. But is the app an unauthorized copy? Read more at @theverge. https://flip.it/AxcjDo

World of Warcraft is 20 this year. Since 2005, fans of the game have gathered annually in Anaheim, Calif., for the BlizzCon convention. But this year, Activision Blizzard says the event is canceled and while the game maker says it'll be back, fans aren't so sure. The BBC spoke to the company's Holly Longdale, a VP, and the game's associate design director, Maria Hamilton, about what's next for WoW after the Microsoft acquisition of Activision, plans to deal with toxic speech and behavior in the game, and more.

I'm experimenting with making PSP texture packs for each version of Final Fantasy, WonderSwan Color, PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, and Pixel Remaster because why not. Depending on how well this goes I may make an NES texture pack as well.

I am heading out on vacation tomorrow with the family, so I decided to get my islander ready in Animal Crossing too.

And decided to get all beached up at various fun spots on Moduland.

It will be a fun week at the beach with the family.

Hope you all have a great week!
