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

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.

If you are arrested during a protest or action against ICE or CPD in Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. (This is an offer for criminal defense; I unfortunately don't do immigration law.)

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

These absolute cunts will proudly display blatant political imagery on their heads while smugly proclaiming that it's "not political", but the moment someone wears a rainbow flag or implies that trans people deserve to simply exist they'll cave in on themselves.

This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh? It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.
