btw I was at the BAFTA Young Game Designers event this weekend and it felt like Godot was far and away the engine that the developers aged 15-18 were using the most

I've been saying for a while that the "Democrat" party is going to very quickly become the right wing party as the GOP collapses, and the DSA or something similar will emerge as an actual progressive party.

I don't count since I'm Enby but I do agree with the sentiment. Though I would like a job too. Kid to feed etc etc

The 60s weren't much calmer either!

I'm pretty sure this is the definition of "Bestie you were so close but then you drove off the cliff"

It's especially fraught because many privileged members of the opposition (white, middle class, etc) would jump at the opportunity to emigrate, given that the prohibitive cost of renouncing is one large barrier. Which would further push the remaining folks, who can't emigrate, into a bad spot.

The only reason I wish my twitter account was still accessible was that I called this the DAY MS announced that they wanted to buy Zenimax. And then repeated it when they announced the ABK merger. Everyone was saying MS would be a better steward, like WE HADN'T SEEN WHAT MS DID TO PCs IN THE 90s

NO NEW COPS

so I notice there's a gap in your resume

At what point does 'the three liberals dissent' become 'the three liberals are gonna cane you if you keep stripping away rights'? Oh, never? Because they're feckless cowards too? Nice.

He is this terrified of his own subjects. NO CHAIRS. Even Louis 16 wasn't this chickenshit.

This was how he reacted to notes on HIS films... ...when he was producing and defending another creator's work from the studio's editing scissors, he had a completely different tone like this bit about The Elephant Man. Mel Brooks is the best.

so they're republicans

It is not a matter of intentions, motives or words but of the objective situation, independent of them, that determines the fate and significance of slogans, of tactics or, in general, of the trend of a given party or group.

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

Good

Shareholders.

This is so goddamn cool the big problems with solar for this kind of deployment was heat and space but this solves both and I AM SO PUMPED FUCK YEA

Of course they can't, imagine trying to work with both Disney and David Cage at the same time. Black hole.

"I like women and men" "Wow, me too!" Honestly bi people are just really easy to make friends with because we have built in synergy.

The only thing he's wrong about is that we'd only go after half of them.

Don't take what Tim Sweeney says at face value. His only goal is to force everyone into the ecosystem he controls so he can extract rent from everyone forever. He is not making statements from a position of good faith.

Quick, someone check World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Neverwinter Nights, and Ultima Online to see if he played them!

The video games corporation is discontinuing their popular product, the video game

idk how you unfuck the economics of game dev, but big studios constantly going "we just can't afford all these developers who we pay like 60% the market rate for engineering roles w/ comparable experience at comparable non-game-dev companies" doesn't reflect well on studio execs' basic competence

I plan to do this for the White House as well, just FYI. Community civics center and museum.

We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.

The even wackier knock-on effect of the Bungie layoffs is that there's going to be EVEN MORE competition for EVEN LESS roles, to the point where people coming into the industry fresh (like me) will essentially never get to work at a company, period.

A leader who does not bow willingly to their people must be made to bow by force.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

See we in the US can do this too: mock the EU while also adopting universal healthcare and 32 hour work weeks.

They hired the serial killers to work for the police thats why violent crime went down

Difficult not to draw a parallel with what would happen in Taiwan if it were to be annexed by China (though a military invasion or via some version of a coup d'Etat by Beijing-friendly local forces): Taiwanese people who don't identify as Chinese (as of now: a majority) wouldn't escape persecution.

the liberals were in control, and the result was that fascism rose. It's time for the adults in the room to take the wheel; enough of this immature "but the centrists, the moderates, they're the only ones who can do anything despite having failed consistently for 30 years" shit.

I'm watching this closely, because now this is a direct power battle between New York and Texas. It will be interesting to see how this develops and where it goes.

These kind of charts are forever going to be the 'Didn't Cum' chart to me

Extremism is when politicians care about the working class

You've got a country with Elon Musk in it and you're worried about Mamdani? With all due respect, what the **** is wrong with you?

Gawker, bless it, tried to warn us. www.gawkerarchives.com/gawker-was-m...

Remember when, before Biden dropped out, his internal polling showed trump winning 400 electoral points? And then it took him ages to actually drop out? The exact same dem consultants are looking at polls of Gavin Newsom's certain loss years from now, and making the same decision they did then.

My brother, if we win the Democratic Party primaries then we ARE the Democratic Party

Absolutely wonderful news from the Wizards who make the Coast.

You can draw a through line between Standing Rock, Stop Cop City, the Palestine encampment student protests, and the results of the Prairieland case. And then still have Dems asking why there aren't more protests...

If you're getting sentenced for life because you shared some zines and wore black I'm pretty sure the response isn't that people are going to stop, but rather embrace the Cool Zone.

Oh yeah but Indivisibles, keep doing your 'peaceful protests', I'm sure it will work the fifth time.

Mara Sov alone has more fanart than basically every Marvel character and they just DON'T GET IT AAAAAA

I may be a hopeless optimist, but I believe that one day these massive monopolies and cartels will face a reckoning the likes of which hasn't been seen in centuries. I just hope I get to help design that reckoning.
