I think you’ll find quite a few of us have told the truth all along. Most of you just didn’t want to hear it then because you thought the rockets and the cars were so cool.

In 1 hour the Grand Championship S4-6 VGM Trivia will be Premiering LIVE! Join me in chat to watch this epic showdown between @nayrman.bsky.social @tomfawkes.com & @brettultimus.iopublishing.com ! www.youtube.com/watch?v=L69f... I don't say this lightly, this is one of the best episodes ever.

2025 end art summary!! I think it's by far the best art I've ever done. I pray I can keep it up in 2026 😭🙏

this is, indeed, a crusade by the people directly running the New York Times to destroy the rights and lives of trans people in this country they have blood on their hands and they’re proud of it

It's time.

This is a metaphor for the tech industry overall circa 2025

@harada-tekken.bsky.social This is the most politely gathered gathering I have ever witnessed..

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

after 20 years, 6 months have passed

Reminded today of the greatest video I've ever seen on this website (yet sadly could not find the original link to)

I have not read nearly as much Discworld as I should have (much to my wife's chagrin) but this exchange between Susan and Death in Hogfather hit me like a truck

a very happy Falling Angel/Rising Ape day to you all for my money the single best passage in all of Discworld, and one of the finest passages in the history of literature

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

when people hear the word "autonomous" they jump straight to science fiction, but here in reality there isn't a single robot that doesn't require some level of human oversight and maintenance

Happy Holidays from all of us at SEGA! 💙 🎨: @supsross.bsky.social

Y’all, the Castlevania: Awakening In The Moonlight musical by Takarazuka Revue is available legally on VOD with subtitles starting today until the end of March, this is a great adaptation and the women in this show are so good, PLUS this is a rare experiment globally Please see it if you’re curious

Annual reminder that Ghost Trick is ALSO an Almost Christmas game! Celebrate the holidays with Shu Takumi’s magnum opus!

WHO GIVES A DAMN? It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts. Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

New Bluesky users! If Bluesky itself doesn't do everything you wish, try @tokimeki.blue. It's like when TweetDeck was actually good & useful over on Twitter. It even has an in-line translate function that doesn't force you to open up Google Translate every time. It's my preferred way to use Bluesky!

Happy Snatcher Day to all who celebrate youtu.be/ZuyUShtcn94?...

Former head of trust and safety at Twitter, Yoel Roth, demonstrating the intellectual dishonesty of “In Covid’s Wake” by showing how they distorted his own words to make them say the opposite of what he was arguing.

Holiday break off to a swinging start - wife and I were expecting to have a hectic week hosting three different parties at home but instead my whole family just got run over by the flu instead

Be sure to leave a glass of milk and Swiss rolls out for the Judge tonight.

This is so fucking mean 😭

I've heard some folks talk about how arcade games were actually like the gacha games of their time because you kept dumping money into them and they are scams as a result or some variation of the argument, sometimes from people old enough to remember arcades. I don't care much for those folks.

Oh this is just awful. Rest in peace, mate. Thanks for everything. gameinformer.com/2025/12/22/v...

Wildly different things, tasks, techniques, subspecialties being lumped into "AI" and then being conflated with each other, doesn't help. Different types of models vs the techniques to train them vs the tasks they are supposed to accomplish, all under "AI".

they never expect new media to do a journalism.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

It is wild to me that Sonic fans managed to figure out that **NONE** of Tommy Tallarico's music for "Sonic and the Black Knight" is original (it's all sourced from PSX's "Black Dawn" and PC's "Adenix" respectively) **AND** managed to figure out that one of those songs was straight up stolen lol

Part of the issue is the very term AI has been widened out broadly and infinitely so now we're playing this language crapshoot, during which people can either be mistaken, use the wrong term, not fully understand the term they're using, or just lie. It's a fucking mess.

This is the first time they made me slap a content warning on a video. Merry Christmas! nebula.tv/videos/linds...

If "a Game Boy made with attack drone metal" doesn't make you think "maybe this isn't good": ModRetro is founded by Palmer Luckey, the founder of weapons manufacturer Anduril, a Trump fundraiser, and general shithead who went off the rails after Oculus made him a billionaire.

Attacks on feminism are similar to attacks on vaccines. We begin to take for granted a world where women have rights and most children live to see adulthood, and then, over time, we begin to forget, neglect, and (now) reject the movements and innovations that brought us here.

Time to escalate my calls: I think something is rotten at Meta, and they are in trouble

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

People have started getting their Limited Run Games Sonic x Shadow Generations CEs after the length delay for ‘essential quality control’, and uh yep, they sure pulled a Limited Run Games (Via x.com/jldrawz/stat... )

The extreme attack on transgender youth we are witnessing from a governmental stage was enabled by The Atlantic and The New York Times.

Congratulations, those of you who decided to platform fringe voices and create a climate of fear and hate out of ignorance because those voices insisted a non-problem was a problem. They're now on an HHS stage trying to ruin children's lives. You will live with the harm you have done forever.

Fuck these bigots, and every person who enabled them to be on that podium. Jointly and severally.

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.

Which words have given you happiness this year? I’d love to hear them. (And if you fancy some distraction over the holidays, do give my word game Two Words a try. twowords2.page.link/play)
