Ahoy swabbies! Another issue of The Privateer is finally ready for you all, we hear @deadeyedray.bsky.social's take on the recent Doubloon incidents, and @empressjessicavt.bsky.social talks about the content she was watching the horizon for, which won't be appearing soon

i remember when i first found out that wolfgang was a real name and i thought that has awesome and hilarious. now i find out another historical figure was called wolfgang and i dont even bat an eye. i used to be so filled with wonder and whimsy.

Notice how with DLSS5 the male characters look mostly the same but the female characters all look completely different to their original design? Wonder what that’s all about. (I know what it’s all about and I hate it)

Happy belated 8th anniversary @seaofthieves.com It is not an exaggeration to say that I would not be the person I am today, nor would I have had the experiences I have had, without it. And for that I am eternally grateful to everyone who has ever worked or contributed to the game.

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

we have film and photography for art that looks as true to life as possible. why oh why so much of the industry remains so hellbent on making games fulfill that same purpose genuinely does baffle me a little. does realism (up to a point) serve an artistic purpose for some games? of course. (1/2)

every game that relentlessly attempts to look as "realistic" as possible all necessarily fail at that while making themselves unplayable on older hardware. all so you can be momentarily impressed that something that looks live action at a glance isn't, actually. cool.

This is true, however I think Putin has also done bad things, so let's not praise him uncritically

It's time for another night of Cursed Halo Again, and this time we are aiming to Finish This Fight! Join @haloguru.bsky.social and myself as we tackle the final few missions ahead of us www.twitch.tv/empressjessi...

For those #SeaOfThieves Fans not on X/Twitter: Drew Stevens ( @sonicbob.bsky.social ) confirmed that Doubloons earned through Season Progress are safe from being reset. So you can safely earn them in Act 1, as they will be carried over to Act 2.

gen z this gen z that how about you genuinely zee about getting some bitches

happy mothers day to all the milfs out there

lifes way too short not to say exactly what you mean all the time

Can you believe it chat, only last week we were playing Cursed Halo with @haloguru.bsky.social . Oh, how time flies What do you mean it was close to 2 months ago? Oh boy, well, guess it's time to plunge back into the insanity. www.twitch.tv/empressjessi...

oh man if only there was some way to stop this

Not going to take a lecture on the sins of lying from AI peddlers, the owners of The Lying Store.

A throwback to where it all started! A little venue in Hinckley, the place was packed on what seems like the hottest day of the year! But what a day that was! Seems so calm from the pictures before we opened the doors to the community for the first time! #seaofthieves #SoTFestV

no one on god's good earth would be batting an eye at the new proposed bank notes if it didn't happen to be churchill being replaced. cos as we all known churchill single handedly defeated nazi germany and definitely wasnt a raging white supremacist and eugenicist and murderer.

if you're ever considering making a post where you call somebody "genocide people" in a derogatory manner just log off please. you don't have to do that

fuck off. then keep fucking off. continue to fuck off. fuck off further than anyone has ever fucked off before. when you reach the sign that says ‘do not fuck off beyond this point’- achieve the impossible and fuck right off past it. tie weights to your feet and fuck off in to the ocean.

remember when liberals were insulting anyone to the left of them by calling them "do-somethings" because the libs didn't like that people would have the audacity to demand anything of their elected officials. i remember

forgive my lack of sympathy for the face-eating leopard victims but you couldn’t make up the first line of this fucking article. political satire really is dead.

man. maybe not the most pressing/consequential impact of gen AI but certainly the most depressing. imagine using that shard of divinity inside of you to create a piece of art just for people to be so certain that a machine did it.

Very excited to be appearing at Wembley Arena tomorrow night as part of Trans Mission. 100 per cent of the profits raised will be split between Not a Phase and the Good Law Project. www.transmissionlive.uk 🏳️‍⚧️

Just to clear things up. This cover artwork was definitely not created by AI, but by the incredibly talented Pete Hentze, a long time Rare artist, and one of the concept artists on Conker: Live and Reloaded! 🙂

never played mega man. know nothing about mega man. never had any interest at all in mega man. this, more than anything, has piqued my interest in mega man. solidarity Mr Diskin 💙

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

proud big sister moment. was calling me mum and she tells me that my 12 year old brother been ranting about how trump has been making life hell for trans people n shit. little bro is gonna do so fine in life.

gng please as if the mfers bitching about a cutlass aren’t still gon be complaining about this from some angle or other ✌️

seconded. its also just gonna turn what would have ACTUALLY been a special, rare cosmetic in to something *my* ass is probably gonna get despite never having may doubloons and taking like a year hiatus from the game. ultimately its just a cosmetic so im mostly unbothered but still a shame.

Do not like this change. Originally, I knew I wouldn't be getting the sword, too much grinding to be done. I was fine with this, I was at peace. Now, at 36k Doub's, how do I know how much I need to get to 50? Am I 20, 200, 2000 away? I could make that grind. How would I know? Bad change.

obvs everyone has different preferences for what they do and dont like being called in casual conversation but if you're reasoning for not liking being called "mate" is that 'im not your mate' sorry but you are a miserable pile of work.

do yourself a favor folks, if you're 26 or younger, make a plan to dodge the draft. it's not making the problem about you -- the child you don't go overseas to kill will thank you for it in fact. and if it doesn't come to pass, better to have a plan and not need it than need it and not have it

she hates it when im funny 💔

i got two exes and a wife in the sot community. got a pirate count of 3. 3 booties plundered.

you can join the military at 16. if they were really worried about how "harmful or beneficial" taking hormones is for kids they'd ban it for all of them- not just trans kids. this is going to kill kids. they won't stop at kids. etc. etc. etc. im so fucking tired.

here's another thing i hate: when companies change their AI computer voice to be more "human". under no circumstances do I want that. i want every computer in my life to sound stilted and weird because it's a computer, not a person, and it is a violation of natural law for it to speak in our voice
