See, I was right to eschew these giant exploitative gacha style games!

Always need to hear this 😮‍💨

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

Palestinian stories were always silenced This enabled everything to happen. From the Nakba to the current genocide Telling our stories is not a luxury Either it will raise awareness to stop the ethnic cleansing Or it will stay as a memory of a people lived & resisted Support NOW launchgood.com/1948

from the moment it was founded activists and human rights watchdogs have warned that DHS was constructed to be an almost unaccountable private paramilitary force at the president's sole disposal.

Bullying works!

I think the era of publicly humiliating people, even the annoying/bad ones, should be over. If for no other reason that it just doesn't do anything meaningful, besides personal catharsis.

happy nine year anniversary to the #DarkUniverse

BREAKING: Federal judge dismisses the case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia in Tennessee. Opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This bill, literally called the “CHARLIE Act,” imports definitions from Trump's odious EOs on race (EO 14190) and sex (EO 14168) into the federal statute for K-12 funding. It's not savvy centrist politics, it will not get them more votes. They know; they're bad people who like these parts of MAGA.

This guy was begging for Democrats to mulch trannies on his death bed and he still gets the glowing "one of the first openly gay members of Congress" line from the media. He deserves nothing but spite in death from us in return.

so Bil Browning posted about Barney Frank sexually assaulting him and so many of the replies are people making excuses for it and justifying it and saying that it's just part of being in the gay community and I am so appalled bilbrowning.substack.com/p/barney-fra...

Barney Frank—once my Congressional rep, a pioneer gay politician—has died after a political career characterized by transphobia, corruption, relentless left-punching, and a fight for the few against the many. Listen to our Bad Gays episode for an accurate obituary: badgayspod.com/episode-arch...

God this is just beautiful

Sir, another graduation ceremony in which the students booed AI has dropped. "College graduates were pissed after their school used AI to announce graduates’ names and missed hundreds of names" (via @/FearedBuck on Twitter)

google is a blight, and all good it ever did it has undone one thousand times over

Over a year ago, I spoke with @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about Dreams on a Pillow for a piece that was killed before it could be published. I am honored that he was willing to take the time to speak with me again in spite of that and tell me about his beautiful homeland: kotaku.com/upcoming-ste...

A "piece that was killed" is something we hear over and over again working with press promoting Dreams on a Pillow, not just now but across the years. In some cases the content had been fully written & was pulled right before or even after publishing. In others, it never was allowed past concept.

1. Incredible breaking news and a landmark ruling out of Colorado. The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that hospitals MUST not capitulate to Trump, and must continue offering trans youth care under state law. They found vague federal threats "speculative." Subscribe to support our journalism.

Fascism doesn’t go for anyone ‘first.’ It goes for multiple targets all at once, but it’s also flexible in terms of which ones are prioritized.

All these groups turned out for Kamala in larger percentages than white women except Latino men & it was only by 2% and even then you must consider the number of white identifying Latino men to contextualize that 2%. This is silly anyway but the problem is white people. You should worry about that.

I will never pay Mixtape and that's very brave of me

gay guys are always saying things like Did u hear the new song from Beth. I'm like no who's Beth. And they're like shut up bitch listen to this. And then they play the worst song I've ever heard. I love u gay guy.

Rasheed is literally risking his life for this game. Israelis could decide to capture, torture, or murder him at any point for daring to share the truth of the Nakba or Palestinian culture. He truly believes in games and their power to tell these stories. Please help his courage not be in vain.

The United States is bad

Want you walking in on me waiting for you like this

Yoshi but pronounced yaw-SHI

UGGGGHHHHHHH Stripe, eat shit.

This is *the* reason I'm furious with the panic merchants in our own community. I'm not telling them to lie, I'm telling them to stop doing unpaid psychic warfare on their own people.

I am once again begging the average person to understand this is christofascism. Every single man leading the payment providers that are pushing for this are christians who believe they have a mandate under the current government to reshape the world. To ignore this is to invite further censorship.

7 months to go

We made a pretty good coming of age story game but most players won’t even give it a chance because it’s got too much color. We’re not all that different in love, relationships, and generational issues. I promise you can relate to these characters. store.steampowered.com/app/1617220/...

What do you call camps where people keep disappearing and dying

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

I dunno what this says about me but I don't often feel nostalgia for the music of my teens or even early adulthood because I now find it embarrassing and grating to listen to lol

Did you know that both Perfect Tides games are on sale 15% off right now? You can get them bundled on Steam, OR pre-order Station to Station in the Nintendo eShop! store.steampowered.com/app/2088810/...

honestly feels amazing to not care about euphoria

I am getting back in the swing after a very busy year (so far) that has stolen a lot of my writing time, and for some reason I played all of MIXTAPE today and then wrote 2500 words about in a flurry. I didn't care for the game, but it's beyond the music to me. ckunzelman.com/2026/05/10/o...

Every day the straights discover kink

I follow so many games journalists on here and every few days it seems many start obliquely referencing some Discourse™ that I can't find the source of and thus never know wtf they are talking about or referencing 🤷🏽
