Riley says there's a dead possum and asks if he can pray for it. Sure. A minute later I get outside and he's kneeling in front of it, chanting 'Rise, rise, come back', and I find myself explaining the difference between prayer and necromancy to a 7 y/o.

more and more elements of the games industry are going to align themselves with gambling in the coming years, in a normalization of market failure. it is crucial to build a new paradigm for games and it must be ideologically opposed to this one. restructuring around gambling is anti-culture.

It’s very important for people to be clear on this point: America is no longer a democracy. It is no longer a democracy that is in backslide. It is a fascist state and we will never vote out fascism alone. Rule of law will not stop fascism. It is being redesigned as we are seeing to empower fascism.

Letting it all fall apart into concentration camps and gestapo and forever war because America just wouldn't tax rich people enough is the dumbest shit

Streuth, my latest vid is up! I'm really proud of this one. Collaborating with our Death Stranding 2 guides team and turning out a really fun script while getting to highlight funny bits of Australian sayings and phrases throughout, it's been really rewarding youtu.be/Jm72kxxNqEU?...

What Dave said. The Albanese govt and LNP are in lock-step on Australia's foreign and defence policy being dictated by Trump and Netanyahu. If that doesn't sound warning bells about the alleged benefits of the 'two-party system', you haven't been paying attention. The duopoly of death. #auspol

The Splatoon kids still keeping it real

Trust me folks I'd much rather be tweeting about games & movies & tech & a little bit of politics every now and then but it's a little difficult when Europe and the US are actively killing International Law and the Non-Proliferation Treaty along with more children than a large school class per day.

Round 8 the developer of 'Lies of P' paid its employees a bonus of around $7.300, two weeks paid vacation and a Nintendo Switch 2 as part of its 3M sales milestone celebration. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/lies-of...

Trans kids deserve a million times better than what this world is capable of giving them. I don't want another single human person to have to go through what I went through. It is still possible to lead a happy, fulfilled life, yes. But it's so much unnecessary suffering.

Not all the news is bad, Maine continues to stand up in defense of trans kids.

AI - The ever faithful yes-man no one asked for

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

"And remember this: the [Zionist] need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."

Don't forget about people in Gaza who are still being subjected to war crimes, as all of this stuff is happening here in the US. We can't forget about them. That's what people in power want you to do.

I think my favorite part of Mario Kart World is the unlockable tracks

100%. They should've done this a long time ago. But putting up every roadblock they can would show they're finally treating this like an emergency.

Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words

Why has YouTube been limiting every second video to 720p30 today 😡

Very cool to partner with SEGA to reveal Sonic Revolution! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJN8...

I am severely in love with how the trump/musk manly-man fans are trying this “people aren’t used to seeing how masculine men argue” thing. yes bros that’s right. being a messy bitch online, that’s real alpha behavior. if Achilles were alive today he’d be in Hector’s mentions on social fucking media

Worst part of the Switch 2 is it doesn't have this music (or any music like it) (or even any music) playing in all of its menus. Thank god I recorded this so I can remember it 😢

OK but this setup music goes kind of hard though

Good thing those foolishly uncompromising Greens and rude Max Chandler-Mather are out of parliament so that they don’t take a principled decision on things like this

So…about AI’s energy use… “…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

Lmao Tommy Tallarico’s blocklist is a who’s who of who to follow on here:

this might be the most 'i'm not owned' anyone has ever been

“There’s no show without [Kathleen Kennedy]. For all the shit that she takes online, it’s just insane. [Andor] exists because she forced it to happen. What a tough job she has, man.” I am glad to see Tony Gilroy say this. Youtubers playing the misogyny hits for the algo do not understand Kennedy.

He spends like 15 minutes contextualizing how much work went into ILM’s history and then proceeds to show off the most basic generative garbage and calling that Star Wars, it’s so embarrassing man.

Bravo Andor. Crying my little heart out. Love this show.

This is bleak reading

After 30 hours of Death Stranding played over 13 months, the core gameplay loop has FINALLY clicked. Its all about the roads. I need Metals. And Ceramics. And Chiral Crystals. I will pave this world and make it whole again. I don't need the cutscenes anymore, gimme MATERIALS

applying for jobs again
