"pen-and-paper action role-playing game" I'm sorry but either ign is using gen ai to write their social posts or just lazily copying some bullshit pr statement. How is this gacha slop looking dollar store pokemon "pen-and-paper" ???

Israel complaining that Greta wanted publicity like - yes, that's the point. You murdered the last people trying to send aid, she knew you couldn't murder her so easily, she's using her fame to bring attention to the genocide and Israel's refusal to allow humanitarian aid, and it's working.

if Thunberg is brave enough to repeatedly put herself directly in harm’s way, then journalists can be brave enough to say that a civilian vessel was illegally seized in international waters, and its crew abducted

If you stop thinking that Germany's response to anything Israel is about Holocaust guilt and instead about rewriting German history, you'd understand German politics better. 🧵

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

Zaslav, business wizard, is undoing a merger because he's so incompetent.

isn’t there someone you forgot to ask | patreon.com/lubchansky

Every person aboard the Madleen is a hero. The genocidal Israeli state's attack on unarmed activists aboard a UK-flagged vessel delivering aid to Gaza is a flagrant breach of international law. The UK must sanction Israel, end all arms & surveillance, & expel its ambassador.

fuck you. diverted? fuck you. it was illegally boarded in international waters. fuck you. the crew was kidnapped. fuck you. they are being illegally and against their will sent to Israel where they'll be deported back to Europe. fuck you. They wanted to feed the people of Gaza & break the blockade.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

In today’s update, their social media manager deleted their reddit account and the CEO, the one with the Make FPS Great Again hat, put out a video blaming an ex-Call of Duty dev for why the game had a $145 skin bundle (but was marked down to $80) which is now $80 (marked down to $40 with the sale)

CAPCOM, hear me out. Now is the perfect time... Bring these back with online lobbies. Trust me.

Youtube, eg, has provided several, high profile cases that demonstrate with no qualification that deplatforming and demonetization works, works well, and generates little if any meaningful public blowback.

If you can’t afford FFXVI on Xbox today, you can load up a video of the Eikon fights and press buttons on a controller and have roughly the same experience.

Almost verbatim, unbelievable

That dog is all growd up now

*Toad voice* THERE'S A 40% CHANCE I BEAT MY WIFE!!!

This parade will cost at least the equivalent of 180 years worth of an NIH biomedical research grant.

A good sign that a fanbase is well-maintained is when the wiki gets moved off of Fandom.

This absolute icon at Canterbury Pride 🩷🤍🩵

Just constantly floored by the Mario Kart World OST. How can you even go back to the MK8 theme and improve it??? www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX4h...

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

Hey. It's me, the guy who decided that movies and television legally have to depict the immediate aftermath of a nearby explosion (harmful but not fatal to the POV character) via a ringing so loud and high pitched that you suffer. I hate you and want you to suffer.

The perception of cheaply made games by like 1 dude minus all the contractors that blow up hurts us because when we ask for a real budget, someone says "well I saw an article that this other game cost $60K to make and sold 1 million copies" and that ends the convo

So many cops are deep down soft ass cowards on a power trip because they have a badge and gun. Fucking losers.

oh it gets even funnier/better the author of FFT himself saw the memes and said, "damn, that sounds like me, wish I had actually written it into the game"

水の飲み方

People and media often say Balatro was made by 'one guy'. I feel like that unfortunately may be stoking the flames of this David vs. Goliath narrative a tiny bit No it was not 'one guy', look at the dang in-game credits

Splitgate 2 dev called out the state of shooters while wearing a Trump joke hat at Summer Game Fest. Meanwhile ICE raids led to clashes with protestors just blocks from where the Summer Game Fest hands-on industry event will be held tomorrow.

Much better hat energy in day of the devs

If I was a dev and I had spent years working on a game and my boss went on stage and looked like this much of a jackass I'd be so pissed
