Dogs down on main save in 3s! wwoooooo @tylercolp.bsky.social @foxharper.bsky.social

"The ramped-down pace has me more focused and aware of my surroundings, so much so that I'm questioning if I ever liked sprinting in the first place, or if it just felt like a feature that's supposed to be there because it's an FPS." www.pcgamer.com/games/halo/t...

It's been nice that people want to play Nightreign with me considering that the other multiplayer game I like is not fun for a lot of people

"It's too late now, but Reddit user Tee_B pitched an even better way to handle it in a thread about the blog post: 'Instead of shrinking Bastion 10% at once, you should have shrunk him 1% every week and denied it every time anyone asked.'" www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/sa...

Looks like the GFM has slowed a bit, but they're at $166k out of a goal of $200k! Totally doable! Pass this around if you haven't yet, and if you have, pass it around again.

I love transit

PSA for everyone going to protests

Scoop: Threat intelligence reports obtained by WIRED and @propertyofthepeople.org show military and state-run fusion centers are tracking civilian-made ICE encounter maps, while others distribute "threat" alerts about tomorrow's "No Kings" protests. By me @wired.com (free to read):

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

What a fucking piece from @gameonysus.bsky.social pentopixels.com/article/summ...

Someone I've blocked and they already blocked me came into my mentions and were weirdly arrogant and assumed I was upset about a topic I was speaking at length about and I was polite and said that was weird and they got mad at me for being emotional and flounced like I was going to be upset

this is so amazing

everyone needs to watch this immediately, it's no longer on Paramount

Celine Song doing HBOMax drama about esports?????? God I wonder if it will be based on like, Overwatch League (Overwatch was in Past Lives) variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Wait how does the overwatch fandom still not know what a black person is

for example:

relooted is being made by a team of developers from numerous african countries, but only its white south african creative director was able to demo it to summer game fest attendees. this was most certainly not always the plan

Biggest perk of WFH is periods, which everyone SHOULD get off from work, but I am wearing very comfy pants and slippers and have a heating pad
