Anyone else smell fascism coming off the maintainer of that new Xorg fork, XLibre? My ears are ringing from the dogwhistles in the project brief.

Wild to think that when Japanese creators spend years of their lives making games and writing scripts for them that maybe, just maybe, they're sometimes doing it with a sense of purpose and intention because they have things to talk about, whether that comes through at times in translation in not.

The Lords of Midnight (1984) by Mike Singleton and published by Beyond was a strategy RPG that debuted on the ZX Spectrum. It was an innovative epic placing you in control of multiple characters who could explore, raise armies, or pave the way for just one hero to save them all. (an allied thread)

43 years ago this week, Electronic Arts was founded. And it started out as a very different kind of games company, one that treated programmers like artists when other publishers treated them like assembly line workers. #retrocomputing #retrogaming dfarq.homeip.net/electronic-a...

"It will happen for you, just wait/have faith" is not true for everyone. Sometimes things don't come to you, even if you're very good and very patient and worked for it, and payed your dues. Stop waiting, stop trying to fit in the mold of how thing should go, and work with what you have NOW.

"The chatbot’s instructions tell it to “de-emphasize the climate catastrophe narrative,” to focus on “real pollution, not CO2.” The bot is told to frame these arguments in the most reasonable possible way" "chatbots are useless" is wrong. They're very, very useful, for a certain kind of person:

I always loved this panel so much. I don't care for the kiss, but how #She-Hulk is drawn here feels special: how she is beautiful as always being drawn with such big hands. It's just sweet and it gets to me (in a good way) every time.

If an industry cannot survive without obeying the law, it should die. In effect this is asking some of the poorest among us- artists often unpaid for what they made public- to subsidize an industry that hopes() to make billions in profit (but is very far from it currently)

Speaking of Diablo, one of my pet-peeves is that David Brevik quote about how he invented Action-RPGs There were so many Action-RPGs before, even isometric ones. We had Ultima - the biggest RPG series of the era - putting out one years before Diablo and I'm sure an RPG nerd like Brevik played it :P

"You don't NEED hrt" they told me as my body starts falling apart without it "You're so valid though" they say when I talk about how I wanted to die without hrt "You just need community" they say as my community is being destroyed and dying Every single time we talk about how we need HRT to live.

I've seen some liberals earnestly argue that rhetorical concessions on youth healthcare or youth sports would get Republicans to back off on other trans civil rights issues. This is a complete misreading of Republicans. They want trans people to suffer and force them out of public life.

Today we have preserved a rare Italian #Commodore64 version of The Quill adventure creator, thanks to a kind loan by Tim Gilberts from Gilsoft. This includes tape dumps + full scans. The tape will now be donated to the Retro Comptuer Museum in Leicester. www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/05/rare...

I've nothing unique to add to the discourse on this one. HRT is lifesaving medication for trans people. Take that away and you kill us. They want us dead and they wield all the power and capital necessary to make that happen. Shit's really bad right now

Israel is an illegal nuclear apartheid fascist state with an "commit genocide free" cheat built on the antisemitic lie that "Israel" and "Jews" are the same thing, granting Israel carte blanche on war crimes as reparations. They'll murder Europeans just as happily as they genocide Palestinians.

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search. NO. WRONG. You have just forgotten how good search used to be. Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

Heh. As far as I'm concerned, there are two types of developers. Type 1: "Only 30% of our players do a romance, so it should remain unimportant overall." Type 2: "30% of our players do a romance despite it being unimportant, and those are our most ardent fans. What if we made it... better?" 😉

There's a twisted kind of genius to it, when you think about it. They burn all the art and literature and science ever done to build a machine that gives seductively easy answers to all your questions, so you never learn to do anything for yourself.

Why do so many people not understand that the true threat of AI is not that it will genocide anyone, but that it will erode the very idea of truth and expertise, destroy the very thing that makes civilization possible?

Just had a moment of sudden realization: 90% of people nowadays doesn't know or remember how actual PlayStation 2 games used to look. 50% of the footage you can find online is HD remasters and the other 50% is emulation with usual emulation problems and filters.

May 15th is Nakba Day, the day that commemorates the on-going ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Israel. This year, it has been 77 years since Israel violently occupied a land full of people and made them into a people without land. 77 years.

The best the most highly skilled artists in the world can do with generative AI is make absolutely mid tripe. Because that’s how generative AI works. It produces statistically averaged, derivative and plagiarized crap. It’s like a funhouse mirror only without the fun.
