"Win32 could not create GUI view becasue CreateWindowEx failed with message: The operation completed successfully." ?????

hey @cublex.bsky.social

Two things can be true: 1.) The Game Awards are meaningless and we shouldn't take them all that seriously. 2.) Award shows of its scale DO rewrite the mainstream history of the art form, whether they deserve to or not, and its okay to care that it's so thoughtless despite having that responsibility.

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.

People rushing to make fun of this one when its a reference to this banger from 2008.

I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

steam frame is gonna support android vr games? as a former vr developer who resented meta and its platform ecosystem every step of the way...

i really appreciate the transparency here and think this is a great step in the right direction the reasoning for the suspension was also entirely valid. you can't expect a T&S team to be aware of all of the context and in isolation, this looks like a death threat and is against ToS
