Why isn't Ness in Mario Kart?

Oh wow. So @solfleet.bsky.social did a great write-up about the SGF demo of Onimusha with a lot of context around the original games. I've gone from "What have they done to my boy?!" to being all-in on the new game. Excellent read.

Color me cynical, I just don't believe your average gamer looked at The Veilguard and said some shit like, "Hmm... there are some tonal inconsistencies with the writing..." SkillUp put out a video that reinforced some Gamergate talking points and put the game in the center of a culture war.

I still cannot believe that women’s sports—a topic literally no one but queer women cared about, to the point that every TV show took cheap shots at the WNBA—was the fucking Rubicon for trans genocide.

I'm bummed Onimusha kinda looks like a AAA action/adventure now, but @jamesthecarr.bsky.social did a great write-up for @monstervine.com about it.

Spent six hours on the streets in LA today. I saw peaceful protests, people helping others, handing out water, even helping the elderly. And then the cops throttled a crowd that did NOTHING to incite. Tomorrow I’ll be out again. Stay safe everyone.

Continual reminder that nobody should fucking use genAI because it is a tool of the oppressor.

It's just a violent military crackdown on peaceful protestors, not something serious like a magazine editor getting fired for being bad at editing.

i think MMOs should really pivot back to one time purchase or subscription based models. idk. i'd rather have that then the 10-15 different currencies and maybe having to dip into your wallet to pay for weapon upgrades, etc. the tldr; i want less "mandatory" monetization in modern MMORPGs

relatedly we should probably emphasize more that the AI algorithms that have been built to cater exactly to these men's preferences almost universally produce sexualized images of women who look like theyre 16

this is going around as people finger wag about optics and peaceful protests and i just want to note that the cop here - john pike - received retirement, 8mos of suspended leave pay, and $38k for the pain and suffering of macing kids the students received $6k-30k, most at the lower end

"I used midjourney to p-" trashes e-mail Cool, send your press e-mail to the AI then. Maybe they can report on it.

1) You can’t make a bigot money and still call yourself and ally. 2) The fact that WB is cranking out these “this actor is cool! Separate the art from the artist” weekly PR pieces means that Rowling funding the assault on trans rights is hurting their bottom line.

I dont know how this is going to sound but I feel the need to get it off my chest It felt quite dystopian to be at a million dollar event promoting video games while down the block my brothers and sisters are out here getting shot & locked up for no reason at all. I feel like I should be doing more

America elected one Black president, and every wealthy person who hated that convinced every poor person who also hated that to get the guy who hated it the most elected as the next president That's all this ever is. A pyramid scheme of hatred and greed led by sociopaths. Time to break its legs 👍🏾

Think about all the incredible writers you know who can’t get any publicity but James Fucking Frey gets the front page glow up in the Sunday NY Times, called a “literary outlaw” for making shit up in a book billed as non-fiction, and a whole paragraph devoted to him describing his orgasms.

Jeez, there really were like 200 game announcements over the course of 72 hours. And it seems that most of the games press (and half of the audience) are downright miserable about it. That doesn't feel like a good sign.

Apparently there's a Spanish translation of Devil Summoner (PSP) that's nearing completion. This is exciting news for a few reasons. Of course, happy for my Spanish speaking friends who will be able to enjoy the game for the first time. But also, this opens the door WIDE for an English translation.

Unhinged, but you have to admit that “from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why???” is extremely funny in the context of federal law enforcement increasingly wearing masks to conceal their identities

Yall, I'm absolutely not telling you to use violence. If you fucking can be nonviolent, do it. But its also fuck anybody who says "WE MUST REMAIN NONVIOLENT" as if my people aren't being stolen from families, shipped to internment camps, people being shot by cops on the streets ect.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
