hi my friend made this :) if you like DOOM or boomer shooters play this instead of the new microsoft one don't be a stranger, or a scab <3

This is the physical spaceship model photographed to make the player graphics in 1983's Mad Planets, one of my favorite arcade games. Artist Jeff Lee let me hold it! It's a weird feeling, holding the "real" ship in a game.

Veil of Darkness - Norowareta Yogen // Ving // PC-98

Brooklyn bus stop ads being replaced with guerilla public service announcements.

Games back in the day didn’t pull any punches.

A highlight from the (excellent) new Ben Affleck Criterion Closet vid.

the new york times publishes essays speculating that large language models have fundamental rights while also calling hasan piker a bit extreme for pointing out that a systematic program to starve palestinians in gaza and annihilate or forcibly move the entire population is definitionally genocide

Defund the police was a bad slogan, which is why it took massive expenditures of political and financial capital along with the deployment of widespread state violence to suppress it, and also why everyone knows it and we're still talking about it five years later

I thought I had unlocked every level in Cruelty Squad

shit keeps coming out reaffirming that i had this admin's rank transmisogyny clocked dead to rights from their early executive orders and that we'd be a lot better off if the national lgbtq orgs stopped covering it up instead of firing me about it

There is something profoundly perverse in this award going to a photograph taken for the NYTimes, which has done more than any media outlet in the world to enable US-backed Israeli massacres and dismemberment of children in Gaza.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

Yesterday during the Kyoto march a man stood in the street filming us past his middle finger. His kids, I assume, stood with their mom flipping us off as well. The daughter was sobbing and looked terrified. I feel bad that she has been brainwashed to have a trauma response to ppl opposing genocide.

I really, really urge folks to watch the documentary "beyond the curve" which at its surface is about flat-earthers but goes into the social aspect of these cult beliefs and how they function as a sort of artificial replacement culture for white people, who have been alienated by white supremacy

Not a single person saying this is going to work one of these jobs, nor have they likely ever worked these jobs in the past. But also, what made these jobs bearable was they were well-paying union jobs where you traded monotony, physical toil for a good middle-class life. They aren’t offering that.

How you immediately know it's a good bar

🍉🇵🇸🍉🇵🇸🍉🙌🏻 Today: March starting at Kyoto City Hall at 3 p.m. Tonight: Hanami standing demo near Temmabashi in Osaka (DM for details) Monday: Protest at the U.S. Consulate in Osaka starting at 11:30 a.m.

Happy to see the #1 most researched title on Mobygames is Klan Cookout, a 1983 Apple II game about setting the Ku Klux Klan on fire www.mobygames.com/game/138166/...

I'm told this is the first lesbian wedding in the Philippines. It should come as no surprise that it was not performed by government institutions but by the New People's Army, the armed wing of the Communist Party.

Someone at the Israeli Embassy demo today was handing out packs of these prints with little stickies so you can stick them places.

a lotta people don't know this but Dr Pepper is actually called that because they only had 8 characters to work with, thanks to NES text display limitations. so, they wrote it as DrPepper, but it's supposed to be Dragon Pepper. but the abbreviation stuck b/c no one played the source material to know
