I cannot get over US Republicans / Fox News losing their minds over an escalator.

A former DOJ staffer said the department is “broken.” trib.al/DQUOZsv

I'm hiring for an Associate Community Manager (Contract) for @ruckus-games.com ! This is an entry level position, especially great for streamers/content creators looking for the opportunity to break into the industry. bit.ly/48vLiuw #gamedevjob #indiegame #streamer

I tell people my favorite song is Time After Time but my real favorite song is The Wii Shop Channel theme. You can hear this tweet.

Errr

When I get review code, unless explicitly allowed by the publisher, I don't even mention I'm reviewing a game. When one person screws up, us freelancers are the ones who lose out the most because publishers/PR people get jittery. For the love of god, just keep mum until publication.

It's almost like constantly firing and ending careers of talented critics, who are thus unable to foster longterm collegiality, mentorship and support, leads to bad situations that could undermine the entire industry?? But I'm not a smart business genius suit man, so what do I know?

It’s a miracle at all that any game gets made but THIS GAME it’s even more so because of my problem with it

I’ve had coffee with Ilhan Omar, and this may come as little surprise, but she is a way more pleasant and compassionate human being than a mountain of evidence would suggest Donald Trump is.

We're shortstaffed on RPS and need some rad PC-minded freelancers for urgent review work. Specifically: - Borderlands 4 (yes I know it's out already) - Dying Light: The Beast - Silent Hill f Standard rate is £200 GBP per review, make yourselves known at [email protected]

The Gulf states pledge to activate the joint defence pact as Arab and Islamic leaders stand in solidarity with Qatar.

We could have had Star Trek but instead we picked Mad Max. Well, I call dibs on the hockey mask and assless chaps.

FINALLY.

Ziff Davis just reported their "strongest quarterly revenue growth since 2021," up 9.8% to $352.2M, with gaming and entertainment up 7.5% YOY. So why were 8 of our members and 23 members of @zdcreatorsguild.bsky.social just laid off? bit.ly/3H0Osvb

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

Just looked up some Battlefield 6 beta gameplay running on Series S out of interest, and EXCUSE ME, how the hell is it looking and running like this on an XSS? Vid I found: youtu.be/t1NP_MhOi84

Today, IGN laid off eight extremely valuable members of our union and workforce via directive from our parent company, Ziff Davis. This, after two incredibly successful live events IGN Live and SDCC, and yet another corporate acquisition. Please take a moment to read and share our full statement:

Israeli forces kill 12 Palestinian civilians seeking aid hours after US envoy Steve Witkoff visits Gaza.

Obscure Disney you say?

I remember growing up thinking who were all these people that were quiet and complicit through the Nazi Holocaust? I hadn't met people like that. People were different here and now, surely. And yeah, totally wrong, turns out it's just the same assholes that ignore everything else

This is the horrific reality of genocide: a newborn baby in Gaza suffering from a skin infection due to extreme heat, lack of hygiene, and neglect, crying out in pain.

“If all this was happening why didn’t anybody say anything all this time” Because it’s made clear to us that our invitation is conditional. And the second you are disagree, push back in any way or are “difficult” your invitation is rescinded. You can apply the above to a myriad of situations.

i posted this more than a year ago because it was obvious by then that israel was trying to starve gaza, & i knew there would come a time in the future when a bunch of people who know better would pretend to suddenly find out about it

Had the Christian O'Connoll show on the radio during morning commute - the news section claimed the protestors were "Anti-Israel extremists" and I don't think I can listen to that shit again, ever. Take a look at those "extremists" below:

"Let Gaza live"

Facts don't matter to these people. At all. I keep trying but it's a waste of time. "Don't you idiots understand that she didn't really mean it when she said she wouldn't break from Biden on Israel policy"?

even the worst editors i’ve worked with in gaming media would have never let a writer get away with claims like those made in that nyt story and yet 90% of us can’t find jobs

now i’m imagining an AI bro going schizo because he thinks inky from pac-man has learned to communicate with him through dance like a bee

This is real.

Police station stormed in Egypt as outrage over Gaza blockade reaches boiling point - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/young-egyptians-storm-police-hq-over-gaza-blockade-rare-act-resistance-0

Hundreds of malnourished Palestinians in Gaza have been scrambling to grab desperately-needed aid in the Israeli-besieged enclave.

Everyone: "It's impossible to starve children in self defence" Israel: "Hold my beer". Anyway fuck Israel.

Do people realize that everything happening to Palestinians will eventually happen to you? The entire Geneva convention is in the trash, all it takes is one massive climate event or an even bigger pandemic than Covid and those rogue, lawless governments will sacrifice whoever they need to. Wake up.

Politicians get asked a hard question, always start their answers with “Let’s be clear,” and then say some of the most unclear shit uttered by a human being.

This man spouts the most unfathomably vile, genocidal rhetoric without a peep from his colleagues, meanwhile the only Palestinian-American in Congress was censured for "promoting false narratives" about Gaza

Hell yes to all of this and it applies to more than just games. Read the books you want, not the ones you think make you look smart. Watch your favorite TV shows and movies with glee even if they’re not that deep. Life is hard. Take your joy where you can find it.

Remember folks, Starvation of children is a perfectly acceptable form of self defence look.
