Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

the worst part of modern pc graphics has to be DLSS, it makes everything look like shit and I literally have not found a case where having it on has been enough of an improvement versus just having it off

I see people saying this sort of thing often, and quite frankly it makes me sad. The truth is, more people are making good adventure games now than were ever made during the “golden age” of the 90s. For example: 🧵

Anyone have thoughts on the legality of posting translations of soundtrack liner notes with the text actually applied to scans of the notes and offering those as image files?
