In the rigid echo chamber of Bluesky, you miss all the enriching Twitter content like a person you don't follow that Elon boosted misidentifying a random trans person as the Minnesota shooter

To all the homies that may be headed out today: stay safe and hydrated! FUCK ICE. FUCK FASCISM.

WHO is walking around with a doctor’s note that says “this person is disabled”???? That is not normal!! This is setting people up to fail.

The only kings we should have are old jazz musicians named like King Brampton or something. Maybe some old timey criminals if their domain is sufficiently large

"Sheriff has history of cop-like behavior"

Just a reminder that white nationalists are the biggest threat to this country and the “immigrant crime wave” is a far-right lie. The danger in this country , as always, comes from white men who are terrified someone will take away their power, their property, or their guns. Happy No King’s Day.

the no kings have failed to consider what if there was a good king who was wise and just. that could fix a lot of problems pretty fast

This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.

New video! I got over some of the games that most piqued my interest from Summer Game Fest. youtu.be/FCoKFHiyrWY

Trump is responsible for the death of a Democratic elected official. MAGA wants to make it illegal to oppose Trump, and to make it normal for them to kill people who do. Democrats should be unequivocal in blaming Trump for this deadly violence. He is trying to get them killed.

Operator, I'd like to report a crime: "There are many great communities around this, especially if you are an actual player, but people shoveling as many packs as they can of what is ostensibly a toy for children into their Walmart cart is pathetic."

Not even an hour has passed and the police are strengthening their presence at a peaceful protest.

I started writing this a bit ago and it really shifted as I wrote. bloomedwings.com/2025/06/14/k...

We can debate American Idiot as a sellout album, or if it actually informed my high school shift, but an undeniable fact is that it came out at the same time.

I think the only thing I have to offer the whole "does x media have radical politics" discourse that's as old as time at this point is that it wasn't any particular individual punk song that turned me into the gremlin I am, but the nuclear fission of a bunch of that shit knocking around in my head.

Good water level music in a video game should make you feel as if you have returned to the womb.

Please, friends, do good out there but keep it off the internet. I see you, I value your efforts, and I do not want to see you caught up in 3 months because you posted a pic or skeet about what you're working on. Some love needs to be spread in person, the old fashioned way.

did someone explain to him how capitalism always necessitates an underclass and the prison labor ain’t there yet

God what did he do this time

hd 2d games be like what if they were just like you remember them from the 90s. but everyone took approximately three thousand times longer to walk across the screen

"The architecture of Goron City is the expression of a broader culture, expressed through the close bond of the Gorons with Death Mountain, and the embodied experience of a world in constant flux and flow." Justin Reeve views Goron City through a phenomenological lens: buff.ly/xiOqhYc

Everyone should know I am never entirely joking.

Lightning Cup in Mario Kart World is incredible world-building through gameplay. Start at Moo Moo Meadows, where the milk is sent to Choco Mountain, sent then to fuel Toad's Factory which supplies munitions to Bowser's Castle. It's the Lord Of War opening but in Mario.

great games are 90% amazing and 10% the most annoying things in the universe because you need to have the annoying part to realize how great the rest is

i think there's something interesting to write about how Ocarina would not be a better game without the Water Temple, and how the specific type of textured experience where someone gains comfort and familiarity in a game and then faces an uncomfortable portion and overcomes it needs to be championed

antivax is, and always has been, a eugenicist movement

if unwinnable meets its fundraising goals I will pitch an article about final fantasy xiii

I wrote down some thoughts on Lies Of P: Overture, a great expansion to an already very good game www.avclub.com/game-theory-...

No force on Earth could have prepared me for this line to be said by a Gabumon.

This made the rounds years ago on Twitter so genuinely curious if the author was a dumb high schooler who knows better now or went uncritical influencer who while not explicitly right-wing just seems to always be on that side.

i quit polygon; today's my last day. back to being an intergalactic bounty hunter (full-time freelance writer)! you'll soon see my bylines elsewhere & ofc you can still hear my video game opinions on Triple Click weekly. if you've got room in your budget for me: maddymyerswrites at gmail dot com <3

frustrating when the crux of the ad, about her working on her second book, is about culture, language and connection. All tangible, analog things. And then to ask AI for vocal warm ups destroys a LOT of well earned credibility. I wish artists would stop selling their soul for this shit.
