always hearing terrible news about that platner guy. at this point i wouldn't be surprised if it came out that he had an actual nazi tattoo on his chest. i bet everyone would immediately cease supporting him to avoid embarrassing themselves, if that happened

There’s this, and it’s correct, but it’s only part of the picture. When I was SA’d by several cops, I went directly to the DA who refused to do anything because it was “your story against theirs”. No report taking, no investigation, just immediately written off..

Repatriating a body is an incredibly incredibly expensive process. We ultimately couldn't afford the cost to do so with my dad - so please contribute if you can to Luis's family. It's incredibly meaningful.

Sure Microsoft may have fired thousands of people and gutted its games division but at least it had more money to pour into Copilot, the 4th most popular AI, a product nobody wants or likes except rich executives, that is constantly losing horrendous amounts of money

mother tell your children not to walk my way

glad congress isn’t alive to see this

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

🦇 This is how blue states and Democrats can *actually* *perform* alliance with trans people. More of this. Much much more of this please.

It's really amazing that Sony sensed weakness out of Microsoft and celebrated by deciding they can just do all the worst shit they feel like without consequence

seeing more of a particular brand of aggro post lately ("if you weren't a coward you'd be doing xyz thing that would have you dead or in jail" from posters who appear to themselves neither be dead or in jail). could just be feds/bots/trolls trying to entrap people on here but a PSA just in case

We should just follow the same rules: if a game isn't commercially available for 36 months, it's abandonware.

also in case you have missed the excellent memes about this in the replies: yes, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith did in fact used to be called the Inquisition you may be familiar with their earlier work

the joe rogan of the left has been found

Alt text: a cartoon Dreamcast with big round eyes above its disc tray which is opened like a mouth. Word bubble 1: "Oh no! Your license expired / I can't play video games anymore!" 2: "Ha ha! Just kidding! Yo, what time is it?"

Slippy, no!

As a co-founder of the most comprehensive DOS game archive, I must sadly concur. I would love to promote and share our archive publicly, but as the 1st person ever served a cease and desist order from then-IDSA, I can't. We have to keep our archive and research private until legal conditions change.

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

Very thankful for this letter to Becky Pepper-Jackson (the 16 year-old trans girl SCOTUS ruled against yesterday) from James Dale, a gay man whose expulsion from the Boy Scouts was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2000.

More athletes have gotten a career out of finishing fifth to three cis swimmers and one trans than have lost a scholarship because of a trans athlete.

for real the thing for me is even throwing any and all morals of my own out the window, what harris claims to believe never holds still, evaporates in a moment. it goes unremarked now but the way she immediately backtracked on her haymaker on biden on bussing laid this out pretty bluntly.

democrat centrist voter who repeatedly votes pro-mamdani candidates because they perceive the pro-mamdani candidates as the actual pragmatic centrist technocrats and the "democratic party centrists/moderates" as toothless and useless ideologues with no policy beyond tailing the republicans

It's all too easy to misremember the lead-up to last gen and think that whole license on a disc initiative was only a MS thing, but the scuttlebutt was that Sony was absolutely mulling that same shift. They just had the cynical sense to not go public too soon and build a whole console OS around it.

"Okay, so now that Xbox is imploding in spectacular fashion and we effectively own the AAA console space all to ourselves, we can finally move forward with those old plans we also had for that all-digital future last generation that we only shelved when we saw a PR opportunity too good to resist."

To this point, I will also reiterate that PS3 and PS Vita digital download preservation remains incomplete, particularly for Japanese games and DLC, where I imagine the bulk of that work has taken place abroad. This essentially gives a one-year deadline to plug some sizeable, yet quite tricky holes.

Imagine a pee tape being a symbol of a more innocent time!

I struggle to imagine what kind of kompromat Putin could actually have on Trump that wouldn't be worse than what we already know about him. To turn Trump's statement around, I don't think Putin has any cards worth playing left except for a general mobilization.

incredible of playstation to announce the end of physical disc production the week after they deleted all the movies you bought digitally from your account

There is no such thing as parental rights. Children have rights. Parents have obligations and duties of care. Noone should be taking parents rights groups seriously.

I’m just a shitlib, but until the dems are willing to take on the concentrated power of capital and the mechanisms that led to it they’re just painting the titanic a different color. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

love to my trans friends. fuck SCOTUS.

That's right.

My friends actively tried to get me into WoW multiple times and I consistently bounced off it. Wasn't my kind of addiction apparently.

one thing i find funny is that the founding generation would likely have been very enthusiastic about, say, muslim immigrants and intensely skeptical of all the catholics

okay, trans marshal walking around with a little star whose holster is full of iron capsules and little pamphlets on how you cannot survive on monster, airheads, and rotting would be so cute. really putting the test to the first A in ACAB.

fundamentally, Alito and Thomas believe that the 14th Amendment established a hierarchy of citizenship or allowed the elected branches to do so. but that is totally ass backwards! it was explicitly written to *preclude* any hierarchy of citizenship. it is right there in the text!

SCOTUS declared today that states can segregate one group of girls who are socially marginalized from other groups of girls. That's what happened. The fact that those girls just happen to be trans is a detail, not the all.

I can’t think of any other moment in history where the ruling class stripped the rights of a minority group to allow unfettered discrimination, oppression, and violence against them so I’m sure every decision against trans people in the United States will be free of terrible consequences.

Four justices don’t believe the reconstruction amendments are part of the Constitution, simple as

So, Mullvad founder and co-owner seems to support the swedish far right by donating millions of SEK, neat. Good to know if you currently pay them for VPN. www.flamman.se/techprofil-g...

Grimly amusing Dem machines think they deserve some sort of entitlement hierarchy. My entire life, everything has been moving backwards, politically, democratically, bureaucratically, judicially. You are all failures. You are presumptively part of the rot that must be removed down to the root.

Premier 11, a lost Atomiswave game was acquired and dumped then converted to run on Dreamcast! A lost football game released during the World Cup...gotta love that! youtu.be/FcUa7iPEW1c

The last 18 months in politics: -Trump wins, implements horrific agenda -Establishment Dems go into freeze/appeasement -Grassroots opposition movement builds -Dem leadership feigns resistance -Primary challenges proliferate Not that complicated. Schumer et al reap what they sowed.
