worth noting that this isn't even a poll. this is an online gambling statistic

"Institutions like Wikipedia are the last bastions of the dream of a free and open internet that betters humanity. Protecting the source code of reality is a matter of survival for a free and sane society, and we must act like it."

this video is hilarious because it fails so hard at every basic thing the genre of game it's trying to mimic requires, don't think i've laughed out loud in a couple months but this did it for me

I keep thinking about the symmetry of Hades 2 and Hollow Knight: Silksong both being second games where the original had an emo sadboy protagonist and then the sequel being about a girl who is just incredibly task-focused and direct and probably shops at Athleta

Excited that we are back at north on my unified next gen visuals wheel

In honour of the Halo Remake Reveal, here's my blog post about how doing these is cheap'n'nasty and a colossal point miss. tbh if you look at Halo's visuals and see something limited by the tech of its time you're artistically illiterate

such is the power of eiko ishioka

remember that time when I wrote an article explaining how and why alt right types like to infiltrate wholesome communities and how to be resilient against that behavior? docseuss.medium.com/i-was-a-teen...

When I went to see The Fall in a high-end LA theater, they had some costumes from the film on display - particularly the one featured in the bottom-left picture.

Not a put on—I *seriously* thought this was an attempt at humor. But it seems that *he* (Rob Schneider) was the one being serious. These people are members of the most dangerous American cult of the last 150 years and possibly ever. They are—candidly—utterly mad. They’re also in charge right now.

Welcome to Bluesky 💙🦋

just woke up from a dream about a lego star wars game that reveals yoda's last name (kylar) and he said "call me that you will not. bad mouth feel, it has"

this reads like a nightmare > doubled the team > second game is multiplayer > first game still in development is Star Wars related

smiling serenely as quantic dream goes under because of a utterly delusional service game

A good thread on this kind of stuff, which creators should be aware of. I will also note that a publisher-producer (especially with no creator producer) incentivises them to strike a deal for less option money (which is shared) and more producer fees (which aren't).

“Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter he earned high seven figures for the role, plus a seven-figure producing fee.” I should do a blog post on this, but I’ll do a brief thread here, as it’s something in the comics industry that riles me up. /1

It's worth reiterating that independent creators are getting debanked for the same content

truly to seek debate is to be a fucking loser

REPORT: Young Republicans are boycotting BALL X PITT as they claim the copious amounts of balls in the game are offensive to them because their lord and savior Adolf Hitler only had one ball

I love how the villain of this movie is basically Rupert Murdoch kicking off a war to boost ratings for Fox.

cant believe 20 years ago i was bullied in school for having a big butt and talking about armored core constantly lmao

Sad news everyone, I’m officially pulling the plug on Brightsiders, my super fan podcast for the 2017 movie Bright. I still feel like there were many interesting topics left to discuss but after 7 years of weekly episodes I’ve learned that no one has ever listened to the show.

Nice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted you as the soyjak doomscroller Bob and myself as the chad organizer Sensei Sergio.

We wouldn’t have the Star Wars books we have without Carol Titelman and Lucy Wilson getting it started and keeping it running when it mattered the most in the early years.

You *can* push through burnout into let's call it afterburnout. I uh, *really* wouldn't recommend it, because just like in jet afterburners, you're pouring basically your life straight into the fire for a temporary gain. Ask me how I know. So yeah, listen to Natalie. Don't be like me.

I don't know if this is new, because I wasn't really scrolling through the last few Next Fests too deeply, but god you have to sift through a *lot* of AI thumbnails

i spend a lot of time thinking about the saddest possible heroic sacrifice sequence starring a catgirl mech pilot that i can

Lee Pace in The Fall is the result of a decades-long experiment to see what happens if all the hotness for an entire generation is concentrated in the body of a single man

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison. Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

"Code is the documentation"

Payment Processors be like "WE DON'T WANT CONSENTING ARTISTS AND SEX WORKERS USING US" while still happily sucking off Twitter Blue subs to produce AI generated CSAM and revenge porn. The hypocrisy.

I for one am glad that Batman Beyond remembered what's really important in Batman stories - giving kids intense fetishes they won't understand for a decade

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once: — Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — Against raising the minimum wage — Buys foreign imports because they're cheap
