....So Valve just updated the Steam Subscriber Agreement and

they removed the binding arbitration clause and the class action waiver???????

in reply to Will 💜

They straight up inverted it—the previous wording about exclusive jurisdiction for court proceedings was amended (diff) to remove the reference to the (now-deleted) binding arbitration section, and to make the statement apply retroactively (I highlighted the new text in bold):

You and Valve agree that all disputes and claims between you and Valve (including any dispute or claim that arose before the existence of this or any prior agreement) shall be commenced and maintained exclusively in any state or federal court located in King County, Washington, having subject matter jurisdiction.


IANAL, idk if the new text actually adds something that wasn't already in the agreement, etc.

Well, turns out Valve probably ditched the arbitration provision because... some folks trying to start a class action against them went to arbitration, and got the arbitrators to rule that said provision was unenforceable: 404media.co/steam-removes-forc…

Is corru.observer a widely known browser game? I played it last Thanksgiving week while I was meeting my grandfather for only the second time in my long-ass life and my grandmother for the first time in ~25 years. It was a weird trip that was perfect for late nights of playing a trippy game.

I think about it just about weekly, despite not having played it since. With #cohost dying, I'm sad I won't get my occasional dose of news and fanart there. Will I resurrect a tumblr account for following fanart? Quite possibly. 😣

Anyway, if you can handle the intensity of the visuals, it's a great game: corru.observer/

(Maybe it is well known. RPS did a piece on it: rockpapershotgun.com/this-amaz…)

in reply to Melissa Avery-Weir

...Gosh, @melissa , I keep forgetting about that article. Weird to me, seeing a (comparatively, I think) big name news article covering Corru.Observer, this little in-browser game project...

People need to talk about this game more. I am always spreading the word.

in reply to Holly

@WatchingfromHollyTrees 😁 I'm impressed they played it, because it's much harder to get folks to notice browser games! It's a meaty game, though, and so creative and well-crafted.

...Well, now I know what I'm doing with my next free evening (catching up from where I left off). 😋

Shapez2 is super fun and highly addictive. Ran through the game and now I’m sad. The soundtrack is really nice too.

I like that it's a no pressure game. No time limits or enemies, just design at your own pace. I've added to my wishlist and will await a good sale.

There are many valid reasons to be skeptical of geoengineering & still a lot of opportunities to address #ClimateChange that don’t involve the uncertainty of tinkering with the planet.

Lumping geoengineering skepticism with conspiracy theorists in a headline is terrible framing.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Sorry if I'm derailing a bit, but I often wrestle with the question of how much controversy over this topic is owed to Kim Stanley Robinson, given his influential #CliFi novels? I liked this BBC Futures article with KSR from last year: bbc.co.uk/future/article/20231…

#KimStanleyRobinson

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Actually actually .. creating CO2 emissions is geoengineering, and it looks like there are a lot of conspiracies going on to keep it that way.
