The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

I think about this daily.

Text Anxiety - Gator Days

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

shoutout to the crowd that insisted it was a political loser to stand up for abrego garcia’s rights

The Democratic Party's formula for the last 50 years has been "Let's be friendly with extreme wealth and maybe we can also get modest policy wins sometimes." The last 10 years and this year in particular should be conclusive proof of how badly this has failed. But we're stuck with it anyway

weird anti-vax conspiracy theorist who pisses in jars and thinks women are biologically disinclined from programming will prove that games are art with his new spiritual successor to goof troop for the snes where the characters say things like "can the mirrors repair my soul?"

I see a lot of people bemoaning western games for being increasingly homogeneous, ugly and unstable, but I think that does a disservice for the many horrible gacha games on display that are basically indistinguishable from each other too.

There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

now that megaman 12 has a release date we can finally confirm that clarissa explains it all takes place in the year 2027

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

i really like the posts that are like 'people are just mad the game wins awards because its good' because its a different kind of falling for geoffs spell and caring about the actual winners

duality

The Game Awards in one sentence

This remains an evergreen post in my mind

I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked

im officially done with the game awards. why would you think it's a good idea to present the charlie kirk legacy award at this show

oh, that character there is genocide guy, he's kind of a fan favorite. the one next to him, though, that's the one everyone hates, she was rude once.

OH GOD WHO GAVE HIM THAT

cant acknowledge all the game dev layoffs that have happened, cant refuse harry potter money, cant have a spine geoff this is why kojima is not fucking with you

Keighley really thinking he cooked with that final game reveal is somehow not even top 5 most embarrassing things of the night. I once again ask the industry please get someone better to be the face of this.

mcdonalds deleted their ai ad, bullying works

the very rich people currently trying to rewrite our media consumption: what the people want is more canceled comedians whining about trans people the audience, voting with their eyeballs: bring us more gay hockey sex

If you call it a “male immaturity epidemic,” a very different set of phenomena come into focus, as this thread shows

I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

It’s wild how there’s several different videos of several different establishment democrats giving public talks where they say “it’s a shame young people can see videos of war crimes online because they’re missing the context behind the war crimes”

LIBERALS: If only we'd elected Hillary Clinton none of this would have happened HILLARY CLINTON, APPEARING AT AN EVENT SPONSORED BY A RIGHT-WING BILLIONAIRE TRUMP MEGADONOR: People who have sympathy for Palestinians getting genocided are dumb kids duped by communist propaganda

TEAM DARK

incredible quote lol

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do. If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections. www.axios.com/2025/12/01/j...

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

"How has 2025 been for you?" Me:

do you want to play a game with me its called strawberries and i always win

It is tragic to see what figures like Mamdani are doing to a once great Democratic Party. by Andrew Cuomo, Larry Summers, Alan Dershowitz, Bob Menendez, and Rod Blagojevich

Metroid may lead all franchises in Discourse:Sales ratio.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

no money for politicians

oh my god
