Someone on bluesky said they're "beginning to suspect" I'm "on the right wing pipeline" because I hate Gabe Newell and his armada of megayachts.

@eniko “I hate the billionaire guy owning Valve and who is a well known libertarian.”
“Wow. You must be from the right or something.”

[fireborn@dragonscave.space]

@eniko I apologize on behalf of that idiot

[estelle@mstdn.social]

@eniko public speech, public consequences, if you didn't want that you should send a dm (personally i'd ignore that though)

[unchartedworlds@scicomm.xyz]

@eniko

Booo to their foolish absence of logic.

I hope something unusually nice happens for you today to balance it out!

[hardpenguin13@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko defending a billionaire is crazy

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@fireborn thank you

[foxyloon@blimps.xyz]

@eniko Sorry to hear that, bsky is a hellhole and I understand how you're feeling in this situation.

I recently got into some hot water over there when I asked "what is it about Florida that attracts shitty people?"

They were very quick to assume I was taking shit about the state and people who live there, and it took me some time to realize their response was conditioned by other folks actually saying and doing that in bad faith.

Bsky is no better than pre-Elon Twitter in many ways...

@eniko solidarity. Fuck him and his fleet of boats. He probably has a boat parked next to zuck's here in Seattle.

[pawv@tech.lgbt]

@eniko ... What a weirdo. Also same.

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

oop, out comes the "and i supported her financially too!"

ah yes, the "i gave you money and now you have to take my abuse" strat. very cool

[pawv@tech.lgbt]

@eniko You might get a kick out of the "controversy" around the creator of "The Amazing Digital Circus". The TL;DR is her (Gooseworks), her show's fandom is toxic as fuck, literally hating on her for some of the stupidest reasons.

I was about to suggest just watching any YT video on the subject, but then I remembered the number of stupid YT videos (and BlueSky commenters) are the problem.

[teaceratops@peoplemaking.games]

@sinvega @patrick_h_lauke @eniko you have so eloquently put into words my exact feelings on the matter.

[foxyoreos@gulp.cafe]

@jedimb @eniko woah, come on, he's just a little guy, he's just a little guy and its his birthday, he's a little birthday boy, you're gonna make him moderate a platform when it's his birthday???

[cygnathreadbare@retro.pizza]

@jedimb @foxyoreos @eniko I have lost the count of openly nazi accounts, with swastikas and adolf and other famous nazis names and pfps and all the hearts of iron 4 icons i've reported. They're still there.

They aren't even big accounts, it isn't like "oh but we would lose a huge customer", they tend to have less than a dozen paid games.

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@eniko he wants to make sure you're fully aware of what a huge pile of shit he is.

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@fabiosantoscode @eniko it still takes a huge leap to jump from that to «you're right wing if you dare to criticize him»

[c0dec0dec0de@hachyderm.io]

@eniko wait, when I buy something from someone, they’re legally prohibited from dunking on me?

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@passocacornio @eniko he sure had plenty of liberal supporters because «electric car!»

[foxyoreos@gulp.cafe]

@jedimb @eniko this is literally who you're criticizing right now. Doesn't feel so good now, does it?

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@c0dec0dec0de apparently!
