cries in helping my slow-learning high school students add a picture we searched for to their game-design project and webp adding an extra 5 steps

google maps-powered location guessing game geoguessr is the latest to strike a deal with the saudi government-backed esports world cup, but its community isn't taking the matter lying down. instead, they've staged a full-scale revolt that's rendered "basically all" popular community maps unplayable

Congrats and good riddance to the high school class of 2025! I know you missed out on middle school, but y'all are some of the most feral, maladjusted students I've ever had to deal with. Good luck!

when people find out I'm a game designer, but if I was a chef: "Oh my god, you're a chef? That's so cool! My nephew would love you! That's like his dream job. All he does is eat hot dogs competitively every night!"

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

Listen to this segment. They *entrapped* Mayor Baraka and someone explicitly told ICE to arrest him, an American citizen standing on public ground, in front of sitting members of Congress who tried to stop it. This was already very bad and is now holy shit bad.

If you're infuriated by what ICE & Worcester Police did to a Brazilian woman, her teenage daughter, and the school nurse they arrested for trying to protect them, there's a list of ways to speak out in this thread www.nbcboston.com/news/local/h...

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

i keep talking about The State of Culture because i feel like it's increasingly been left to rot since political pundits took over all discourse in the mid 2010's. my big point is: if you have something creative you want to do, now's a time to do it. we don't know where things will be in a few years

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

What I like about guides for older games is that they have hand-drawn art. Once every guide just used in-game assets, they got boring. Seen here is the chapter art for The NES Game Atlas Player's Guide, the Super Mario Bros. 3 Strategy Guide, and the Mario Mania Player's Guide.
