i say this with nothing but love for all of you to whom this applies, but the moral rot in elite journalism is because journalism is a trade and it should be done by tradespeople and instead it's been professionalized in a way that makes it cozy to capital instead

you already know what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, and just plain weird games, as big name titles don't need the help. so, onwards!

The best damn RPG there ever was and you can be a part of making the third edition sing. I cannot tell you how hype I am for Vincent's 10th grade level guide to building PbtA games.

Furry is closer to a Punk counter culture society than a fandom which is why hating Furries is extremely conservative brained behavior

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

transphobia as a political project is about preserving authoritarian sexual control of children

i'm so tired and scared. these people truly hate body autonomy for anyone who's not a cis man. the rest of us must be forced back into bodily subservience as penetrable objects.

It really is amazing how this country is doing a controlled demolition of itself because car dealership guys couldn't say slurs out loud for like 10 years, and liberals had to deal with their kids getting septum piercings.

all we're gonna say is that if we were crafted by divine hand in the image of our creator then our creator really needs to find a therapist instead of inflicting existence on us about it

Strippers are now the No. 1 donor of toys to children's hospital in Portland. This year, they broke their own record raising over $183,000 for Doernbecher Children’s Hospital having a successful Tata for Toys once again.

This is metal

This is why the internet exists This and nothing else

Hi, I'm the CEO of Glorbo, the company who enjoys near unprecedented goodwill in our field, I'm here today to talk to you about our pivot to using the Magic 8-Ball powered by children's bones that everybody hates, I've given myself psychosis listening to the 8-ball aaaaeeeeeiiiiooouuuu

The oppression and exploitation of children has always been and will always be inextricable from every other form of oppression as it is a major frontier of their maintenance and perpetuation, crucial to upholding existing power relations and ensuring continued acceptance of and investment in them.

when you start to get a grasp on how much of politics of the last 40 years has revolved around protecting parents' (and by extension adults' in general) right to abuse kids with impunity and restrict them to the status of property it can be really brain breaking

It's because money changes your brain chemistry. We've seen it over, over, over, over, and again: people start acting very differently once the money really hits, and I firmly believe it's because something about that moment alters brain chemistry. Once that money hits, they need more and more.

HARD BOILED DETECTIVE: another cruel sunrise over the city of the damned. another corpse. another widow. another cup of black coffee to drag my sorry ass back to life- *sputtering* ME: do you like it? it's an ethiopian washed process single origin DETECTIVE: ME: are you getting apricot notes

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.

When tech bros talk about "financializing" everything, like deciding facts on betting markets, what they're doing is creating new prop bet markets that they can use inside information to "wager" on and strip value from other users. Exploiting others for value is the ONLY function of capitalism.

I ate so much ice cream that there is now nothing else I can do. All I can do right now is "I've eaten so much ice cream". I can't do anything else. Having eaten so much ice cream is the activity I am currently doing. There is nothing in my reality right now apart from I've have had so much icecream

i still want a Pokemon game set in appalachia with a water racoon, fire skunk, and grass possum as the starters.

KOSA and repealing section 230. it's fucking over. as always, bipartisanship happens when they want to do the most detrimental things

I've also been thinking about the double standards of the sex and gore in the Divinity trailer vs all the indie devs getting obliterated. Everyone should have this creative freedom, not just the big guys. It's blatant wallet-favoritism

I forget how many folks didn't get to play In A Wicked Age, Poison'd, Under My Skin, 1001 Nights, Sorcerer, Shock, and so many other excellent games with sensuality & sexual content before AW.

It’s not Larian’s fault but it chaps my ass that because they’re Larian they can have a trailer with a full on orgy in it in the middle of the Game Awards and meanwhile adult content in games everywhere else is getting cracked down on left and right.

Thinking I might get really into bezoars. Maybe I'll finally be the one who figures out alchemy, how hard can it be. "As above, so below" is pretty straightforward, I think those guys were just dumb as shit

You are ruining the vibe.

Giving parents the discretion not to vaccinate their kids is one of the strongest ways the state reinforces the parent-child relationship as one of ownership. Your parents have the ability to decide whether you will die of preventable disease, because you are their property not a person.
