not sure any website is going to be able to withstand the internet joy when It Happens but this one is definitely not

what I'm hearing is that, once again, no one is going to adapt the part of Great Glass Elevator where astronauts spot charlie and his grandparents in space and the US president instantly decides they are terrorists

please, my reginos, they are very sick

It should honestly be very simple: is it trained on copyrighted material? Done. Thats it. It’s illegal. There are no other arguments to be made. There’s all sorts of other arguments we can make after that, but until they fix that then it doesn’t matter. It’s illegal. They should be in jail.

LA! These kitties’ human passed away, and they need a new home! Please help them find one! Spread the word!

The absolute irony.

It's funny (not funny) how this ubiquitous symbol screams 'beware, incoming trash!' I have an instant reaction of revulsion whenever it pops up.

The super-rich are not worried about their car dying, or if they can afford daycare, how to feed a family & clothe growing children. They don't consider skipping a medication b/c of its cost. But the rich want to feel oppressed, so they pretend slightly higher taxes is life or death. How dare they

My latest Unwinnable thing is live! Incidentally, it's where this excerpt comes from (though it's not only about Caves of Qud). unwinnable.com/2026/04/16/i...

I might actually like the Ultima Underworld II *even more*?? Granted I still have to finish the first one (been steadily making my way through the translated PSX port), and I'm only a little ways into this one, but I dunno, something about the setup and structure so far feels better.

It looks like Capcom finally patched MH Stories for Switch 2 and now cutscene audio plays normally again. 🎉

For all the people I've been telling "It's not you, it's the industry." Here's a bit more proof. It's not you. It's the industry.

the irony of having a one-on-one HR layoff meeting in the conference room with my Loki mural on it

I am not allowed to answer the question of "where do you get your games journalism and criticism from" because I can cheat and give you a big fucking list

DA FLY!! Not to be confused with the Mansect! But I did base this on my own Fly cosplay. Which we repurposed for MANSECT. So.

Game comes out that isn’t an extraction shooter, indie, or 200 hour open world RPG. “This is like a PS2 game.”

Starbucks is partnering with ChatGPT. The coffee giant has launched an app within the OpenAI chatbot that is supposed to "provide inspiration for customers’ drink orders." Consumers will still need to complete their orders on the Starbucks app or website.

its so cool that literally every job now is understaffed by 30-50%. its great because i didnt want whatever it was done well or with any care at all. but please keep raising prices anyway

The problem isn’t that these corporations are not profitable. They are absurdly, mind boggling profitable. They make more money in some years than the GDP of entire nation’s decades. The problem is that they don’t want to pay people and never have.

Alex's backstory dialog being changed to "I dunno, Tom is my mum's distant relative or something" is hilarious. Why did you even bother with this if you were gonna do such a shit job?

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Does anyone know a lawyer who speaks Chinese? These neighbors of mine are getting robbed. I looked at their lease and the landlord has effectively torn it up, believing their inability to speak fluent English means they're unfamiliar with the law. They're having trouble finding good representation

There should be something where you get money just for being alive on account of you need it to live

So the big studios are abandoning the US and turning the staff workers into contractors to get out paying for healthcare. The United States is losing one of its defining industries because of not having universal healthcare and the people are going to be even more vulnerable to the industry.

"She [Boebert] should never do that to a person like me." Really captures how someone like Chappelle can target a whole community, double down, make millions from it and then get offended when someone casts him in a way HE doesn't like.

No, that's exactly what Chappelle was doing and it's why trans people criticized him for doing it.

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

Have you moved off substack yet, dear reader?

Yeah, Mackenzie Scott is a fascinating case. She is literally ignoring the SOPs of philanthropy in order to give away wealth as quickly and efficiently as possible and she’s still getting richer. At her level it is impossible not to make money. Tax billionaires, A LOT.

Artists, never forget that you are not a brand. You do not need to be consistent and marketable. If you CHOOSE to strive for these things that’s fine, but you do not NEED them. You are a fucking person, multi-faceted and complex. People who do not respect that see your art as a product

Despicable fucking government.

Never heard of Clavicular until today so my first thought was "Well that's a ridiculous vampire name."

So I was just laid off from Vicariously. If you‘ve got an opening in PR/marketing and want to hire someone who does good work and has a family to support, I’m your guy. Any reposts super appreciated.

I’m sorry but your company that makes accessories for tubeless bicycle tires is located WHERE? I don’t know if it would be better if this was a coincidence or if it was intentional.

Crazy to see SWC is out there to be borrowed from libraries?!? Like I would haven’t even considered it was something one could potentially do! that’s so cool!!

“Public records Businessweek obtained show that, because of their contracts with BusPatrol, many local agencies have spent years effectively acting as revenue generators for a for-profit company, ticketing thousands of drivers and sending most of the funds back to BusPatrol.”

Last week, a 20 year-old man threw a molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's mansion; two days later, people fired a gun at it. Earlier that week, someone fired gunshots into an city councilman's house who approved a data center. Why the AI backlash has turned violent:

Altman and the AI industry are trying to blame AI doomers, bad "messaging" and "incendiary" rhetoric for the wave of violence—all of which papers over the root of rage against AI. People are angry at what *the industry itself* has promised to do; at the broader AI project as currently constituted.

“lmao i’m not in a cult, bro, I’ve just got all these pics saved of my favorite politician as Jesus because it offends the libs! lol they hate my many private AI photos of him as a jacked god. I’ve also got his name on most of my clothes and my car and in every room of my house”

It's 2026 and the head of a company is out here acting as if paying freelancers on time is optional. It's not! It's a breach of contract! You can't just delay payments, and if you have cash flow problems, don't have employees you can't pay

amazing!
