From the exp. archive: I'd like to apologise for not knowing what a visual novel was in 2014. I mean that is *terrible*. Time Hollow, however? Pretty good!

At this point in Toronto I'd settle for a Xi'an Famous Foods

Their union was recognized on December 18th, studio closed just over two weeks later. Transparent punishment, just like what happened at Rockstar. I hope Ubisoft gets dragged over the coals too.

X is producing deepfakes at a rate 84x higher than the top 5 dedicated deepfake sites combined, according to an analysis. Victims say there's no recourse. Their images are still up despite reports to X, and those who speak out become targets. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If you haven't already, January is a good time to cancel your Xbox Game Pass in solidarity with Palestine. Read more about the boycott on our website and sign our pledge at nogamesforgenocide.com

BREAKING Irish Govt to move Grok to another parish.

Honestly can’t think of a better opener for our Festival this year. Felipe has crafted a tremendous film that left me very misty eyed. It’s gonna be a special one.

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There's still meant to be a ceasefire btw. But at least 414 Palestinians have been killed and 1,145 injured (that we know of) since that ceasefire went into effect, with Israel now physically occupying more than 50% of the Gaza Strip.

New year, new exp.! For supporters, I look at Namco's brutal, cool spy shooter Rolling Thunder, and discuss what it, and many other games, owe to SpartanX/Kung-Fu Master: expzine.com/2026/01/06/r... Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/rollin...

Casualties taken to Istishari Arab Hospital in Ramallah following an Israeli army attack on Birzeit University. 

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

🧵 A sad case of reality catching up with satire: back in 2005 I built a website that let people "bet" on where the next terrorist attack would take place. It was basically a proto-Polymarket. Mainstream media HATED IT, even as they engaged in the same kind of terror-mongering predictions…

Did not know until reading this that the US still controls Iraq’s oil revenue. “EO13303 … has been renewed annually by every US president, including Joe Biden. This executive order essentially places control over Iraq’s oil revenues under the discretion of the US President.”

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Tekken comic by Jin Yasunaga, from a 1996 Comic Gamest compilation.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

it's funny when watching US movies or tv shows i used to be like "man, they sure do use food poisoning as a plot device *a lot* in america..." then i learned their food poisoning statistics and it blew my mind. that's just how they live! people DIE of food poisoning regularly in the US. it's MAD.

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Me in 2007: I’ll make a game that exposes the secret links between Big Oil and U.S. covert interventions in Venezuela. Gamers will finally see through smoke and mirrors! Trump in 2026: We kidnapped Maduro, we’ll run Venezuela, and steal its oil.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

My ideal relaxation space: being licked by Pac-Man

Reading Chotiner interviews with people who actually know what they're talking about is interesting because you realize his main skill is not "gotchas" but just like, facilitating effective communication. when that runs into someone who's used to dissimulating they get humiliated.

Days after his third dementia screening in six months the president of the United States, who is an open pedophile, abducts a foreign head of state

The design of this bumper sticker, which you can see all over the bay area, hasn't changed in over 30 years, because unfortunately it has never not been relevant.

I am delighted to announce the release of my latest project: Fully documented source code for The Sentinel, Geoff Crammond’s 1986 masterpiece. Here’s the repository; deep dives coming soon. See thread for details. 1/9 github.com/markmoxon/th... #retrocomputing #retrogaming #bbcmicro #c64 #8bit

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

This is what every craven international leader not immediately condemning the attack on Venezuela is enabling

Over the years a lot of gen Y and Z have said, "How did nobody stop Bush in Iraq?" like nobody ever said anything, like people didn't protest, like we weren't horrified every day. "Why didn't Congress do anything?" Because they don't want to! Because they agree with the goal!

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

day two in Zohran Mamdani’s New York. I watched a gaggle of financial analysts get ziptied and marched into an unmarked van. A man ordered a latte with whole milk in front of me in line and the barista immediately shot him in the head.

As promised, PMG has just donated $5000 to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. We've made the donation to PCRF directly as our fundraiser on YouTube has now completed, but if we add the two figures together that's a total amount of $61,914.62. Thank you so, so much to everyone who participated!

this is the most incredible interview i’ve ever read. the aei guy tries so hard to get sliwa to trash mamdani and he simply won’t. he also brings up flaco (rip) unprompted. www.wsj.com/opinion/free...

day one in mamdani’s new york

Why do I have to read an Irish paper for a feature about this?

Just Israel making good money off of its own genocide every which way, whether that's "battle tested" weaponry, or being the only party that can sell to Palestinians life-saving goods that Israel prohibits from entering Gaza any other way. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
