Okay, positivity check! Gotta share me something you enjoyed, be it games, music, literature, or whatever else. Go!

also: volcano high instantly became the target of queerphobic 4chan hate campaigns that birthed the insufferable "snoot game." when queers do their own thing, they get attacked viciously for years on end. it doesnt matter how segregated we are from the straights, bigots come knocking regardless.

really fucks me up how much KF and 4chan got so much of the internet to laugh along to what was happening with ChrisChan as the trolls set her up to be the internets most documented punching bag ever including me for a time the reach that whole campaign has had like it was horrifyingly insidious

They've driven people to suicide, most prominently Near, author of bsnes and one of the brightest minds emulation has ever seen. Kiwifarms and their supporters are monsters with no soul and bigots of the highest order Kiwifarms is a blight upon the internet that should be excised and exterminated

kinda just feels like a good time to remind everyone that Kiwifarms is one of the most deeply sociopathic horrors the internet has ever spawned that mercilessly stalks and harrasses people (always in the worst faith you can imagine) you should never take a single piece of their "info" at their word

New neo-nazi just dropped, New England folks be aware

The last version of Windows we used was Windows 7. The first version of Linux we used was Xubuntu 14.04. That's April 2014 for anyone who doesn't understand Ubuntu version numbers. We haven't touched Windows in so long that we couldn't do tech support for a friend using Windows if we tried.

'you can generate a different ending every time you view a movie!' 'you can have endless text conversations with NPCs in games!' 'you can summarize a novel, you don't have to read it!' the pitches for genAI really reveal how much the people behind it just... hate art. like. *hate* art. deeply.

President Trump advocates for new “birthwhite” citizenship.

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

"My family might be able to enjoy three meals a day, but what would become of my self-respect? At the end of the day, I want to feel good about the marketing professional I see staring back at me in the mirror."

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right. www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-g...

Any sufficiently simple magic is indistinguishable from technology.

out: “t slur” IN:

Huge new incentive for cops to put cover charges* on people *when police beat someone up and then arrest them for agg batt on a peace officer to cover for their own unlawful activity, etc.

watching the classics today!

crazy all the websites and paypros are doing their big No Horny Allowed crackdown while every online advertisement now is iether "AI SEX HOT AI CHAT NO FILTER BOOB AI FURRY GIRLFRIEND only for adults ages 6+" or "NPR is now teaming up with Bumfights dot com to revolutionize gamified asset trading"

Blood-boiling to watch these far right ghouls talk like Somalia is a failed state because of some sort of inherent flaw of Somalis instead of because the United fucking States, particularly under Donald Trump, has been bombing it for a decade

This is good to know about in general, but especially if your interests overlap with organized competitive gaming in any fashion. It likely won't be the last time this happens and showing solidarity with trans people and the communities that have their backs is gonna be important.

good (terrible) time for the public to learn about v-coding and what happens to trans women in men's prisons.

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped). It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it. Make sure you have these disabled.

The Mayor has budgeted $5 million for a ShotSpotter replacement for CPD. You really could not have a clearer illustration of the choices between community resources vs state surveillance, and so far, as usual, the choice is state surveillance.

Not that it would effect anything, but it'd be nice to see the DBD social media team put a statement out about this. Ya know, because of all the lip service they pay to LGBTQIA2S players while giving money to homophobes and making bad and fake excuses for lack of inclusion

like when econ wonks argue Biden actually gave us the strongest economy in 40 years WHY DO ALL YOUR CHARTS START IN THE 80'S DID THE ECONOMY LOOK DIFFERENT BEFORE THEN OR SOMETHING

6 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Judge issues injunction against Georgia ban on GAC for inmates, finding it cruel & unusual punishment: "The state is responsible for the well being of any person it holds in its custody...whether that person has gender dysphoria or another diagnosis..."

I have an enemy in my game which is a cow that gets cybernetically transformed into a missile and I was thinking of names and I came up with "cowabanger" which we can all agree is perfect.

if they're all businesses, do you know how much money the military loses

Update for Dungeon Gals and its release

A truly great idea. 10,000 ethical assets freely available. There’s no excuse for resorting to so-called AI with this and the *many* other assets you can use without resorting to laundered plagiarism. Support real artists, not con artists.

Substack is the Chik-Fil-A of blog sites.

If there's one thing liberals excel at it's finding new ways to say "enjoy the camps"

It is still a crying shame that there is no place where we can stream the Looney Tunes library.

SCIENTISTS: I've crunched the numbers, sir. The next generation isn't going to have enough perverts in it for our evil plans. SPIKE CHUNSOFT DEVELOPER SHINICHIRO TOMIE: There's nothing to be done. We have to create Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

In honor of the unjustly banned Link, I invite folks to post their mutual aid below this thread. I will repost need as long as I am able. As the holiday season approaches, and temperatures drop, mutual aid is going to become more important. Consider giving what you can. If you can't, repost.

Please help Mar pay for her root canal. She is an amazing person and needs help.

the dead stare this woman gives is so good lmao

Hot tech take: Screensavers aren't outdated. They serve three major functions, even in an era where burn-in isn't a worry anymore. 1. They give personality. 2. They let you know at a glance the machine is actually still on and working in an era of ever-silent computers.

I mean this earnestly: we are legitimately running out of money for investments just as the AI industry needs them

I've seen some Very Smart People tell me that those globe-spanning megacorporations are powereless against the US government and could never demand that the administration stop using their IP to promote fascism. No, they're just cowards. Or fascists. One or the other. Or both.

Sabrina Carpenter: Braver and more powerful than Nintendo and Microsoft combined.

The world has become the new Roman Coliseum.

“John Cena believes rapists can still offer things to the wrestling business.” If you replace Vince’s name with what Vince did, you can really appreciate how much of a piece of shit John Cena is.

Here's the second episode of Better Offline's Gamer Week - a chat with @nathangrayson.bsky.social about @aftermath.site, building an independent media outlet and the state of the games industry writ large. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... linktr.ee/betteroffline

BE ADVISED: SUBJECT EEPY. REPEAT: SUBJECT EEPY.

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies. This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week. This is almost everything the government is doing.

Thankfully, @craftcomputing.bsky.social is there to help
