On the off chance this makes it to people who need it. Spanish emergency guide for knowing your rights when dealing with cops or administration elpueblo.org/wp-content/u...

The more Yarvin I read, the more I get annoyed, because I can tell this guy spends way too much time thinking about the world, same as many of us, but he apparently lacks the voice in his head that points out when your logic sucks or you're just being an idiot

"Among his mistakes in his first term was that Trump basically appointed three centrists" Curtis Yarvin seems a little too good at manipulating things like this. Also a little hard to figure out when he's being honest on something or when he's bullshitting

NC GOP is just determined to make sure we have no legal recourse, which seems like it could back fire a little

"If you care about trans folks in some contexts, any context, then you really need to be caring about what's happening to trans folks in our prisons ... [I]t's going to be very much relevant to those of us who are not incarcerated."

If there's one thing we should learn, it's that corporations are just wearing a veneer of pragmatism and competency. We wouldn't be watching the game industry self-destruct if they had any semblance of either. It's one of the worst things about corporations: they aren't just cruel; they're dumb

Literally had this convo with some family the other night "well at least they don't support the gay agen-" MF who TF you think they coming for next???? Sh*t already started!

Generative AI is not an assistive device because being a bad writer is not a disability.

Just heard of someone, who probably shouldn't have, hitting M6 on Miyabi and her engine, losing every 50/50 but winning the 75/25s on the weapons. Not accounting for free draws, that's like $3500 USD. $100 gets you enough currency for 40.5 draws, takes 160 draws to guarantee, but I ran with 140

There's a higher chance of drawing 3 B2B SSR than 1 pre-60/70 MiHoYo 5 🌟 (when the odds start increasing until hitting 100% over 20 rolls) Base MiHoYo rate is .6%, 50% chance to get the banner if unacquired, guaranteed if you lost the last coin flip. Nikke is 4% for SSR and more generous with draws

The shittiness of gacha monetization and the great games trapped behind them might be the thing that angers me enough to write about. Genshin dropping Mavuika and Citlali together made me drop it despite loving Natlan, especially Aether's Ancient Name

ACT UP, 1990

Spoke too soon; Strohl is a beautiful dumbass in the manga and that's all that matters

I kinda wish the Metaphor manga went the same direction as the Elden Ring one: somewhat surreal parody

It's time to pay *pouty face* Never change, KuroGames. Unless you wanna change your monetization, I'm all for that

And what complete madman decided that a game, where the artists were clearly told yes when they asked how horny the designs should be, is the best place to have women literally objectified (turned into weapons) and examine societal misogyny and capitalism's ills

Nikke having great storytelling makes a lot more sense when you think of it as the all-ages release of an eroge. Opening with a school-girl, a soldier without bottoms for some reason, and a breastily breasting grenadier and immediately jumping into traumatizing the squad is just normal for a VN

Here's hoping I got approved for this advanced composition class so it can force me to pick a specific subject and format

This would be a fun little article to write. Look through research on how loot boxes, especially gacha games, induce spending, the obsession with monthly revenue for gacha/f2p games to try and gauge the odds on EoS, how it all affects games themselves doi.org/10.1016/j.je...

Another nice piece on Slitterhead from Dreamboum. Can find him on twitter and twitch rainsunflower.wordpress.com/2025/01/14/s...

Logan was seven years ago, Multiverse of Madness and The Batman two years ago, Suicide Squad three years, and studio execs still haven't figured out that they can make peak by either embracing comic book silliness and not constantly lampshading it or just leaning into genre

The way I knew Mike and Jay liked Nosferatu because they titled the review Half in the Bag: Trash Dracula Look Like Boat

Ghost Fixers has that delicious kind of edge

Is that you, Araki?

Japan might have us pegged
