Unbelievable from what I've read about just now. This is games-related because it is targeting a gaming community, one that has seemingly taken things too far than they needed to go.

Summary: A user, who I will not name, issued a challenge to the developers of Helldivers 2 to play their game on the hardest difficulty on a mission mode that is known for being difficult, poorly designed and glitchy. Should the developers complete it, he will donate $1,000 to charity of his choosing.

The fanbase? They didn't take this kindly and have now been making it a campaign to make that user's life a living hell. Even up to making said user lose their IRL jobs. I'm surprised the user hasn't killed themselves yet and I hope it never gets to that point.

If you've been on the Helldivers 2 subreddit and Steam community, you will know what is going on. I am talking of this because, I hope to never ever see this kind of behavior happen within the Fediverse, because we are supposed to be better than this. I'm not surprised that the rapid dogpiling in rabid irrationality, happened from Reddit because that's where a lot of it comes from.

There is way more to this drama than I am speaking of, but all it has been doing, is making me disgusted over game-based communities who allow this to happen. I'm disgusted at the people who could've nipped it in the bud before it got out of control but didn't. I'm disgusted at Reddit for predictably allowing it to happen.

I have not felt this disgusted towards something since the Night in the Woods incident. Absolutely disgraceful.

You might know Donald Trump as the authoritarian conman wrecking the country from the Oval Office. Mary Trump just knows him as her f***ing loser uncle.

Temporary Protected Status is a humanitarian program that shields eligible migrants from deportation and allows them to work.

A divided U.S. appeals court has refused to let the Trump administration revoke legal protections that allow more than 350,000 Haitians to live and work in the U.S. and avoid being returned to their gang-violence-stricken country.

A 2-1 panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit late on Friday rejected the administration’s bid to pause a February 2 ruling that blocked the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from ending Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status.

Under outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the department has moved to end TPS for a dozen countries as part of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, arguing the program was never intended to serve as a “de facto amnesty.”

A federal judge in Oregon on Friday limited federal officers’ use of tear gas during protests at a Portland federal immigration building, as part of a lawsuit filed by an adjacent affordable housing complex following months of repeated exposure.

U.S. District Judge Amy Baggio issued the preliminary injunction after a hearing last month in which the complex’s residents described physical and psychological symptoms ranging from difficulty breathing, coughing, burning eyes and hives to anxiety and panic attacks. Some also testified about wearing gas masks in their own homes.

The case comes amid growing concern over federal officers using aggressive crowd-control tactics, as cities across the country have seen demonstrations against the immigration enforcement surge spearheaded by Donald Trump’s administration.

Planet Labs, one of the world’s leading commercial satellite imaging companies, said Friday it is placing a hold on releasing imagery of some parts of the Middle East as a regional war enters its second week.

Planet wants to prevent "adversarial actors" from using images for "Battle Damage Assessment" purposes.
