What is wrong with Bassem Yousuf?

That car chase in First Light was a lot of fun, the team did a good job of nailing how extra slide-y cars are in films, but still making the handling feel good. There's something off about the film grain though, can't put my finger on it but had to turn it off, it was doing something to the light

Oh no, 007 first light's mi6 is powered by an LLM!

STOP TELLING ME AI IS THE FUTURE OH MY GOD

Excellent analysis. This isn't a personal dig at Luke - living in Australia makes it really easy to abdicate responsibility, look at how we're (me included!) going about our daily lives when Israel's genocidal campaign is only possible because of this very country and the services its providing them

Trying to remember a blog I'd read about James Cameron's weird remasters. Was it one of the fine folk at @aftermath.site? The site search didn't return anything so doubting my memory.

The new Boots Riley film isn't playing in Melbourne and it's making me irrationally annoyed.

Grow a spine @australianlabor.bsky.social and expel the Israeli ambassador now. #auspol

Orphan Black

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...

You mean IGN, owned by Ziff Davis, founded by William Ziff, a Zionist activist and serving president of the Zionist Organization of America "killed" an article showcasing a Palestinian game based on the true story of the Nakba?

Cold open on a 360 slomo shot of an airmen proudly blowing up a girl's school.

Alright I'll bite: What the fuck is a grogu and why is it being inserted into every film title on here?

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

Palestine will be free The children of Palestine will return I still get asked, "but do you condemn Hamas?" ... and, no, I do not. Because I celebrate my Irish rebel heroes and I am not a hypocrite ✌🏼☘️ #auspol #FreePalestine #IsraelOut #ZionismIsTerrorism #Nakba #Colonisation

Pacific Rim 2.

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

You’re a celebrity, tee hee. I couldn’t possibly ask you a challenging question.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to put you on the spot" should be the motto of centrist journalism

Thank you everyone for being there, It means a lot to me. your support for our project is amazing @amazefest.bsky.social Crowdfunding Now: www.launchgood.com/1948

I have seen conferences try to be fully online, and it doesn’t quite work as well. Or partially online, partially IRL, which also doesn’t work well. But here is a talk at Amaze bringing in @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social digitally while the crowd is here IRL, asking questions, and it works very well.

It's heartbreaking that games as a medium remain out of reach for people telling the stories worth telling most. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

Disappointing to see so, so many games outlets covering the Forza launch with the usual amounts of giddiness despite very clear BDS guidelines against Xbox and Microsoft.

Fuck do I care? Don't publish this shit.

reminder that Xbox is still a BDS target, so you can feel even better about cancelling Nitro and not giving Discord money than you previously would have

Great decision making for people by the party known as... Labour.

The right word to describe this decision by the government.

Important paragraph. This seems to me like cleaning up public image more than any serious step towards stopping support for Israel and until stated otherwise by BDS, the boycott should continue

And while we get a small win re: Microsoft today, a reminder that Israel's still a POS:

Oh my god?

As always, legal/$$ liability is the only thing that these entities listen to.

ChatGPT Edu contracts say that the university must prevent end-users (incl. students) from misusing the service and commits the university to indemnify OpenAI for claims related to "(a) use of the Services in violation of this Agreement; (b) Customer Applications, if any; or (c) Customer Content."

This story is WILD. Juan Orlando Hernandez, the Honduran ex-president pardoned by Trump for narcotrafficking, seemingly caught on tape in dozens of conversations (if true), discussing plans with GOP and other figures to attack left-wing governments, and saying Israel paid for his pardon from Trump.

Bluesky won't add italics because they don't want to make it too obvious that they lean right.

Australians who fight for IDF are free to enter the country with almost no scrutiny after possibly committing war crimes, but some women who married ISIS members and travelled to Syria were arrested once the plane touches down. We asked experts why. www.ettemedia.com/women-isis-c...

In these apocalyptic times, sometimes unexpected things make you feel nice and warm, like getting a playtest invite in my email for @ramiismail.com's new game. Australia, I'm about to did it!

I'm very excited to have my comrades at @nogamesforgenocide.com give a talk at this conference.

the reserve bank board should be in prison

The Met Gala was ghoulish in the best of times, whenever those were. Today, with the state of the world as it is, with us all clawing to stay afloat another month, attending it should be a punishable offence. (that's the politest I can write that bit)

Every time Labor has had the opportunity to help actual human beings, they've failed with great deliberation and malice.

Ben-Gvir is a true monster, can't wrap my head around the fact that he found an equally monstrous life partner :|||
