Final Fantasy VII (1997)

"Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the communist party?"

I've seen enough: the gerontocracy is dead. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-geront...

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

🕯️Manifesting 🕯️

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖 Hint. Fucking. Hint.

Tell these people fucking nothing. Any information that makes it into the NYT will be used to harm kids.

I'm going to need my fellow nerds to refrain from "oh here's how you fix it" or "you should use Linux" and instead focus on the fact that this is an anti-consumer practice and help raise hell over it.

Me(actually)

trans, and I cannot emphasize this next point enough, fuckin rights

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

I'm not gonna cop out and say "well, Musou isn't for everyone", even if that isn't really a lie, but I also think there's a need to meet a game on its level, for lack of a better word, and a bunch of people really do not want to do that.

"the genie is out of the bottle" They are so desperate to normalize this as fast as possible. All quotes I read from companies "embracing AI" are basically "please just admit it's here to stay, just admit it, accept it, admit that this is the new normal now. It's here, JUST ACCEPT IT!!!!!"

Anti-EBT people have never really struggled and you can tell. "OMG! You're buying cookies & soda? With OUR money?" Like, yeah, dickcheese. Those are calorie dense foods, which is exactly what you need when you're trying to survive. Some people need others to suffer so their efforts feel validated.

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

Shout out to the Fortnite leaks server for not being evil about this like I suspect many other leakers and people who believe the game can do no wrong will be

Don't forget that that's literally just equalizing the field: your employer uses the threat of financial loss to "encourage" you to work for them. It's only fair you could wield the threat of financial loss to "encourage" them to treat you and your colleagues fairly. That's it. That is all it is.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up. "But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

Plenty of kids are out trick or treating in groups. While the number of candy we gave is less than last year, at least the streets are not empty due to KKK Barbie and her incel cucks. It makes me happy to know that the world isn't as cruel as the news says. Fear will not win.

The funniest thing that could happen is if, because they're not willing to sue the US gov over the co-opting of their IP, Nintendo/MS end up losing a copyright/trademark case when someone uses this as part of their argument

I just wish he’d actually do something about the rampant Nazis and just outright racist Steam employees

Gekkomon ♡

the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

Welcome Ice-Pick Lodge to the Hooded Horse family! They're making Darkwood 2: a sequel to the unforgiving survival horror game originally created by Acid Wizard. We'll be publishing Darkwood 2 in consultation with the Acid Wizard team. Read more: store.steampowered.com/news/app/370...

I am happy to announce that you can hear my voice talents in the Pacific Drive Whispers in the Woods DLC! I am your guide through the "Undercover In The Fellowship" audio logs as well as other additional voices! Thanks to everyone at @ironwood.bsky.social & @nyavpost.bsky.social for having me! :D

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

Pov: the autistic girl next door overheard you make a SpongeBob reference

My hottest Pokemon take is that Gen V did it right and more games should have the courage to leave all the mons from older games until the post game. Have the chance to learn to love some new guys, become champion together. You can have your nostalgia when you're champion.

MICROSOFT: We'll keep providing Windows 10 security & service updates but you gotta fork over 70USD for the first year, 140USD for the second year, and 210USD for the third year. You bitch. You fucking piece of shit MUSCLEFUR VTUBER: Open Powershell and hit three keys to do it completely free

Am I glad he’s frozen in there, and that we’re out here, and that he’s the trainer, and that we’re frozen out here, and that we’re in there, and I just remembered we’re out here. What I wanna know is, where’s the Numel?

surely the company that delivered this is ready, now, to deliver an all-encompassing AI product that will do anything and everything and make all your dreams come true and make 500 billion dollars and not crash the entire economy and result in catastrophic layoffs across an overextended sector

People who are mean to city pigeons can't be trusted as they likely lack any true form of empathy.

People will wanna justify it, but we have to at least acknowledge that if any other game pulled just half the shit they pull with Pokémon, it’d be eviscerated. Somehow it’s fine for one of the most lucrative franchises in the world to have significantly lower standards.

Got an itch to play an Xcom-style game, so I decided to replay Xcom 2 instead of recklessly buying Xenonauts 2, and man, I loved this game when it came out, put 100 hours into it, then purchased the xpac and put another 60 hours into the game, and my tastes have vastly changed. Mind you, the game

When you're trying to find something decent in the Steam NextFest...

This is a great time to remind everyone that you should in fact, still be calling MasterCard, Visa, Stripe, and other payment processors to annoy the shit out of them. Because I'll tell you right now, that shitheel? Not gonna have to worry about them accepting payment. *Artists will.*

😢

like, no ethical consumption, etc etc, but the level of actually evil bullshit i'm being asked to accept to just access basic stuff is overwhelming

Just a reminder that this is the waste of carbon that coined that most hideous of right-wing chants "Your body, my choice." He proudly, actively hates women. So GQ can fuck right off.

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa
