  • Calling it "the secret dev room" rather than an attempt at disavowing like "an employee made unauthorized modifications" or something
  • Including "removing" it in the patch notes instead of trying to act circumspect about it
  • Saying "sorry we don't know how to remove it" as if this sort of thing shouldn't be trivially easy to remove

the whole thing just smacks of devs realizing there's a marketing opportunity here, idk

if it's real it suggests some really terrifying things about their development process that no one remaining at the company knows how to use their level or text editors



People asking the question "But how can they make Lara Croft into something like the MCU? They only have one character!" are forgetting the amazing line-up of Big Western Fan Favourites they already have!

  • "Nobility"
  • White Saviour
  • Colonialism
  • Backwards "Savages"
  • Evil Foreigners
  • It's not stealing if it's from a "lesser" civilisation, it's saving
  • Daddy Issues
  • Mysticism
  • Animal Cruelty
  • And More!

How could this go wrong?!

"turning [IP] into the MCU" is a thought moneyghouls with no brains or morals salivate at, and this is yet another reason why we should execute all of them

capitalism is fundamentally incompatible with actual infosec. it's great at faking it, at selling you a product that says it will solve all your security problems and which will just be another attack surface, but the core goal of increasing corporate profits will always be at odds with nearly every possible aspect of information security

run an adblocker for both personal security and ideological reasons. something like uBlock origin is going to be more effective at keeping horrible shit off your computer than actual malware scanners will, because tricking you into installing that shit yourself is the primary attack vector for it these days. it's just social engineering, but automated to use ad networks so it's much more efficient

google chrome eliminating ad blockers thanks to "manifest v3" is going to get so many old folks' identities stolen.
