BRIE LARSON AS ROSALINA?! the grifters will be in force hating on the Super Mario Galaxy Movie now. Get ready for 12 Critical Drinker videos from every hater-grifter trying to make money off ragebait. ((I love Brie Larson btw, she's amazing.))

of course Cuomo still won Staten Island... fuck literally everyone on that entire Richie-rich out of touch Rock it makes me sad that 41 percent still voted for the rapist crazy guy

The closest I have come to a "Nazi phase" is jokingly calling myself a food Nazi when a restaurant claims to sell a "Philly-style cheesesteak" and they put Lettuce, Tomato, and Mayo on the sandwich... which is New York Style and also a WAR CRIME! Like How Dare You!

People were so very loud and "happy" about Krafton "saving Tango Gameworks"....... GenAI developed and created Hi-Fi Rush 2 sounds very... exciting... now.

@danteku.bsky.social Since you wouldn't probably have thoughts on this: If Bullet Heaven games (Ala Vampire Survivors likes) are considered a subgenre of SHUMP (reverse bullet hell), do you feel Bullet Heaven is a new age wave of SHUMPs, especially given how many and how popular they are?

Please know that fan editors are still doing THE LORD'S WORK

People are insane... more than I ever thought possible. ........ who the fuck puts froot loops on a hot dog?! Who charges $11 bucks for it?

it sucks for Respawn Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi are all keeping them alive and Jedi is only supposed to be a trilogy that means Apex is about to go BUCK WILD with shoved in dark-patterned-up Monetization. Also Titanfall 3 = most nuked from orbit game ever...

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

Fun fact: One of EA's new owners, Affinity Partners (investment group founded by Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner) has a similar logo to fictional Templar-run evil Assassin's Creed gaming company Abstergo Entertainment

In a normal world: it should be a conflict of interest that this involves a FTC run by the father-in-law's administration......... and 2 of the 5 Commissioner seats haven't been filled and no more than 3 can be from the same party... and the POTUS picks the chairman.

I knew it. Earth is just Halo...

since The Rapture is tomorrow, I expect to see some of you at one party or another. which party? we will see, won't we...

30 GIGS IS NOT FUCKING UNLIMITED DATA. IF YOU SLOW ME SO MUCH I CAN'T USE THE BITCH, THAT IS THE SAME AS NOT HAVING IT. STOP FUCKING SAYING UNLIMITED DATA IF YOU'RE GONNA LIMIT THAT BITCH.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

@jessecox.bsky.social Question: Do YouTubers, particular reaction creators have secondary accounts they use to watch stuff on so that all the searching/looking at trash doesn't f up their personal account algorithms? if so how do they avoid ads on the secondary accounts?

World, meet Punchgirl. Punchgirl, world. She'll check in again in a decade or two.

Congrats to all of my fellow (US)Americans on your owning some of the means of production... Anyway what's like 1/300000000th of a 10% share in a company bought with your tax dollars unwilling?

"I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie"

another riff on this classic picture: most things are not worth polishing. some stuff worth existing flawed is not worth investing more into. one reason to sketch is to figure out what to take beyond sketch, the answer isn't all of em or the first you happen to do. we don't get infinite big projects

Kenyans are converting banana stems into hair extensions.

Almost 20 years of someone's life and loyal service to their country flushed down the drain on a whim... At minimum, 33-36 years old now which means people who only EVER knew Service to their country. BURNED ON AN ALTER AS TRIBUTE TO A FALSE KING. www.joemygod.com/2025/08/air-...

Morning Shower Thought: Because of widespread access to Bacta (Tanks) and cybernetics and even some level of counseling (usually from Jedi, Sith, or Witches), Star Wars not only has Universal Healthcare, even the Palpatine's EMPIRE offers it willingly, unlike tyrants in real life.

A new job listing reveals Sony is hiring for a Senior Director, Multiplatform & Account Management on the PlayStation Team. This role will shape the strategy of bringing PlayStation games to "PC, Xbox, Nintendo, and mobile". job-boards.greenhouse.io/sonyinteract...

Real discussion: CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me? CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

It's been reported that Trump has plans to erase the bedrock scientific finding that greenhouse-gas emissions, causing global warming, threaten human life. This lays the foundation to roll back any and all progress this country has made to fight climate change.

This reminds me of the best advice I ever received. A city planner and engineer once told me that you need to look back honestly at your childhood passions and interest. What "fascinated" you as a child that I tried to make on your own. That's what you actually "should" be pursuing to do in life.

continuing to run the UBI experiment 14,000,605 times every decade in search of one time it ever won't produce clear positive results for everyone involved so there can finally be an example for the ultra wealthy people to point to illustrating why we can't do that like they've always been saying

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order directing states to criminalize and institutionalize people experiencing homelessness, addiction, and mental health disabilities.

Part of me feels bad that the IMMEDIATE thought I had about seeing the words "Hulk Hogan dead at 71" being "Good". What a utter waste of goodwill he turned into... it's sad actually. Macho Man Randy Savage was better anyway.

Hell, you get enough people to yell something, you can use that as leverage to get into positions of power or influence to then make decisions and make everyone abide by your vision. Literally "people are shouting this enough, so now I can push it (since I'm in charge) without as much pushback."

Corp accountant here, Investor Relations is the team that is legally obligated to handle investor concerns. If you have a fund with MC or Visa in it, I suggest calling and demanding to know what your compensation will be for the reduction in Earnings Per Share caused by cutting off income streams (:

If this was say... a Superman movie, people would (in theory) be mad at LuthorCorp and the collective of Screaming Trollmonkeys trying to force their influence into controlling everyone... instead of the small businesses in Metropolis Lex is forcing into these terrible situations at literal gunpoint

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done. We got more than 1000 people.

It would mean a lot to me and other adult content creators if you spoke out. Tell Visa how you feel: usa.visa.com/Forms/contac...

All other things aside, we should really think about how bad of an idea it is to have a company like Visa controlling the entire ability of companies to exist.

Itch has less than 10 employees and many of them are part time.

There's a direct line from "no kink at Pride" and "no sex in movies and books unless it Serves The Plot" to payment processors feeling completely empowered to censor art globally

There is a non-disparagement clause in Mastercard's rules, probably Visa too, and I'm guessing that's why Itch is being so diplomatic about their description of the situation. Fucking sucks. I feel bad for all parties involved except for the payment processors and the stupid ass puritans.

Matt and Trey literally got 1.5 Bn before this btw. Get your money AND burn that bridge to ashes. That's the American way!

#TTRPGs are an interpretative medium. But here's the catch: For players to interpret a game THERE HAS TO BE A GAME THERE. If your solution to game design is not designing, you're not presenting a game to be interpreted, you're presenting vibes & expecting the players to design the game themselves.

HRT for gender affirmation will be included in the Universal Health Coverage of Thailand, which means trans Thai citizens will be able to get free & safe HRT in future! 🥳 I love it when the taxes I'm paying are going to the good use of trans community in Thailand! 😎 thethaiger.com/news/nationa...

Absolutely this. Pokémon "fans" will use SMT or Digimon especially as a cudgel to whine about Pokémon. Meanwhile, Pokémon only exists because of SMT and DQ, both of which are series that made Pokémon-like tributes back that people outright IGNORED because they weren't Pokémon.

Apparently they are starting to add UNO to casinos now. Uno for real money. You thought you were salty before about that Reverse Card being played on you... but now people are going to be bringing their saltiest sweatiest techniques for CASH MONEY!

Are 'unreasonable investor expectations' the cause of poor video game market conditions?
