“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

Bandai Namco's previous summer showcases have been underwhelming, and I wouldn't expect much from this one. That My Hero Academia game that leaked a few days ago will probably be announced here, and maybe a Tales remaster. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNFu...

To people who ask "What do you want Democrats TO DO" about fighting fascism, how about at least giving it the same scrutiny they reserve for mildly left candidates in municipal elections

last night the republicans passed a budget to turn america into a nation of roving masked thugs and concentration camps and this is what democrats are doing still on sunday morning news programs instead of telling their interviewers to shut the fuck up and stop changing the subject

The stream is over! We did a nice 7.5 hours and made it to the final dungeon of Digital Devil Saga. Until next month's Slow Burn Saturday. We'll be back later tonight to stream Chrono Trigger. For now we've raided Endy_Endy who's speedrunning The Legend of Zelda: www.twitch.tv/endy_endy

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Finally got around to watching the short Pragmata gameplay demo, and I'm glad Capcom isn't just making their own Vanquish. Not that I fully *expected* that. The puzzle/action stuff looks intriguing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeLG... I'm surprised Capcom didn't upload this themselves, but that's okay.

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

“He’s easily bruising. He has bone pain. He looks pale .… He has also lost his appetite …. His mom is terrified that these are symptoms that his leukemia situation might be deteriorating.” A 6-year-old with cancer is languishing in a U.S. detention camp. Who will answer for this cruelty?

I'm of the opinion that they should have a bunch of returning characters in Resident Evil Requiem, and that they should all look their ages at that time. If Leon shows up and doesn't look about 51.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

During our meeting in New York today, Zohran Mamdani produced a large handsaw and cut a circle around my chair, causing me to fall through the floor to the level below. "Why are you doing this?" I pleaded with him. "Because I'm muslim and communist" he replied

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

My streaming break is over. Tonight I'll be playing more Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga on Twitch for @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social. Join me at 7 ET as I wrap up side quests before starting the final dungeon. Also, the stream now has new emotes and commands! www.dcgameblog.com/2...

ICYMI I wrote about how the upcoming Street Fighter movie is shaping up through the casting announcements (read: badly), and about a couple of Street Fighter 6 updates, for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/06/figh...

If you see a bill that's Big and Beautiful, this is what to do.

All I see here is top notch ball security, elite contact balance, a willingness to grind out tough yards btwn the tackles, and surprising burst after he finds daylight

I wrapped up Macross Frontier not too long ago, easily one of the better Macross series. I’m nearly halfway through Macross Delta, and it’s not quite as good. This is interestingly more like Macross 7 with idols than classic Macross, and I hope it repeats that series’ format by improving soon.

Oh, all of those memes and jokes about Tom Holland playing James Bond could come to pass, huh? But I still think the movie will be fine with Villeneuve at the helm. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

no amount of free money is going to get people to have children in a stagnant society of rampant corruption and dwindling opportunity

I posted on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social about how the upcoming Street Fighter movie is shaping up through its casting choices. It is, in a surprise, not looking good. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/06/figh...

I wouldn't be surprised if that Star Wars movie he has (or had) cooking falls next.

The weekend is here! What do you plan to play or watch? Livestreams are back. Our schedule is attached. Offline we're playing Persona 5X, Persona 4, Raidou Remastered, and Monster Hunter Wilds. We're watching Macross Delta and the new season of Squid Games. #Weekend #VideoGames #TV #Anime #RPGs

Tapper writes this without acknowledging that Milk himself served in the US Navy during the Korean War, or that Milk was assassinated while serving honorably in public office

ICYMI I shared my first impressions of Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army to Quarantine Control on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social. @diosenrab.bsky.social wrote about Banana Fish, and CWTyger gave his brief thoughts playing through the OG Persona 4. www.dcgameblog.com/2...

ICYMI The Quarantine Control series on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social reached the 273rd entry. @silverhuskey.bsky.social wrote about early impressions of Raidou Remastered, CWTyger wrote a bit about his Persona 4 playthrough, and I wrote about Banana Fish (2018). www.dcgameblog.com/2025/06/quar...

You cannot be so much of an institutionalist that you let the institutions bring us fascism. What was the value of the insitutions supposed to be in the first place?

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

it is the Imperial Judiciary when courts say that presidents can’t unilaterally overturn constitutional text, and the Proper Order of Things when courts say that your rights rest on the whims of who happens to be in office

It’s somehow still more controversial to be against this than to be for it

A gap of four-and-a-half years between Gundam Hathaway movie installments is wild, even considering the delay thanks to Covid-19 travel restrictions. Not that I’m complaining, since I still haven’t seen the first one. www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-06...

Caught a little of the Arc System Works stream, and I might have to watch the archive later because it feels like one of those weird-good video game announcement showcases. It's been a little while since we had one of those, outside one that came close at Summer Games Fest.

Deporting children of military veterans because they were born on an overseas military base. This man has no citizenship now.

Sagat looks neat in Street Fighter 6, but I'm happier that they're finally releasing more outfits. They're making sure to get those swimsuits out for the season, especially for certain characters.

just a completely normal thing for a republican member of Congress to do apparently no one with any power or authority will despise out against it, the media won't cover it as racist or xenophobic they do if you dare show empathy for Muslim people

ICYMI I wrote about why certain individuals and especially publications should be careful with sharing machine translations online, with the Masahiro Sakurai story being the most recent issue, for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/06/exam...

It's bad enough that the Front Mission 3 remake is stuffed to the brim with AI-generated art, but it's also a textbook case for why that shouldn't happen. It completely altered objects and characters in some of them. www.rpgsite.net/feature/1779...

🚨By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court ALLOWS states to defund Planned Parenthood, holding that Medicaid does not give patients a right to obtain care from its providers. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

It's honestly a bit of a pleasure to know that Brianna Wu has always been not great, instead of becoming like that over the last couple of years.

Yknow what? I’ve been sitting on this for a decade because I’m not into punching laterally but I AM FINE with punching far right lunatics. Just a handful of short weeks before GamerGate started, Briana Wu, who I spoke to 0 times before this, sends me this *wild* ass email. 🧵

Denis Villeneuve is quite a get for the next Bond film, enough that I've regained some faith in it post-Amazon MGM takeover of the franchise. I've yet to see a bad film from him. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

I posted on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social about a recent example showing why AI-generated translations shouldn't be relied on, especially for professionals. It involves something Masahiro Sakurai *didn't* say. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/06/exam...

I am convinced, although I have no hard evidence, that ICE has gotten orders to go out and re-detain Iranians with final orders of removal, many out in the community on orders of supervision for decades as Iran wouldn't take them. They may now be deported to Panama or somewhere random.

The chances of the new Street Fighter movie being a "good" movie, though perhaps not a good one per se, has increased considerably. Fingers crossed! www.ign.com/articles/it-...
