It's incredible just how on the ball trans people were about those US think tanks influencing British politics, going to great length to detail all these links and connections, only for it to fall on deaf ears because of how aggressively trans people were frozen out and disenfranchised.

There is an entire movie franchise that explains why putting an AI in charge of military decisions is a terrible idea.

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.

It really is the greatest business plan in the history of capitalism: “We will create God and then ask it for money.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/news...

They are beyond delusional.

i will make it my life goal to make an actual Tron sequel with no monkey's paw

"Do you think it was having it lead by a widely hated cardboard actor who's also a sexpest cult leader who's every project in the last decade being record breaking bombs, and sprinkle it with cameos from some nepotistic rich shitheads?" "No, it was the Tron that was wrong."

I'll double down on this line. People SHOULD play the originals as well. The only REmake I think is outright superior is RE1, the oldest one. The rest are such fundamentally different experiences that I don't really like comparing them, I'd rather let each stand on their own merits.

whole thing is a really good read; i screamed out loud when i read this part

Having a fucking week this week. New job, going great, except paperwork is either not being sent to me or is taking ages to be processed. Car suddenly decided it *needed* that oil change I was supposed to get. Someone tried to hack into my discord account while I was in the mechanic waiting room.

They don't think these games have any value but are more than happy to sell you the PS1 models and music as DLC.

(WITH FRAYING PATIENCE) No thanks, I don’t want to see Marilyn Monroe in Game Of Thrones, because it ended several years ago and she died a very long time before that.

We'd better build more AI data centers, AI will fix this problem for us -- *waits five years* The oceans have boiled and the drinking water is gone but at least all the intellectual property has been stolen and now I can use AI to create a really accurate representation of Batman fucking Pikachu

WILL ONE PERSON ON BLUESKY CRITICIZE RFK JR PLEASE!

Next year I'm going to be able to play a brand new AAA resident evil on a Switch 2

Christians shocked and horrified when they see a Christian do Christian things

Masahiro Sakurai shared a photo of a Game Director dinner meeting he had for Tokyo Gameshow! Participants: - Hideki Kamiya - Toby Fox - Yoko Taro - Jiro Ishii - Kazutaka Kodaka - Keiichiro Toyama

I think this guy is actually president imo Trump is a doddering old man, barely aware of his own surroundings, getting worked over by underlings.

Kristi Noem should never have been confirmed after this. It ended up being a perfect representation of what she would do.

I don't know a single person who did well in college and doesn't have at least one story like this. I haven't been in a college class in almost a year, but I feel confident that before AI, everyone was built different - and built better

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

my canon event is watching gohan vs. cell supercuts on an ipod touch with a cracked screen. the kind with the dub music, spanish subtitling, and a huge border made of DBZ clip art cropping the show to the top right of the video. that stuff locked me onto a specific branch of universes instantly

i may be terminally online but at least i've lived long enough this way to just laugh and laugh at one winged angel over a trap beat

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.” … but what is plenary authority?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Plenary authority: complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations. -Wikipedia bsky.app/profile/cweb...

Spot on.

LRP I haven't listened to the album yet and I'm unsure if I will. I liked Midnights, it was the right album at the right time for me, and have some fondness for songs off of Fearless, Red, Reputation, etc. Everything I see for this new one makes me worry I'd just be upset the whole time so idk

stumbled across real lyrics to an actual new Taylor Swift song and boy, that's a bold strategy, Cotton. let's see if it pays off.

Deleting my account at the bar that became a nazi bar

i feel like anyone who's ever gone on those tedious rants about how jrpg gameplay isn't really gameplay and is just sort of there to provide a little texture for the story, which is completely compartmentalized from the rest of the game, owes it to us to play more of the genre or stop talking

Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles illustration by Ryoko Kui (Delicious in Dungeon) for Weekly Famitsu No. 1915:

hey man how's it goin

bluesky: wow we're all so happy that people are leaving the terrible transphobic nazi social media website and are coming here! bluesky: bluesky: bluesky: hey you know what we should do

The Russo Brothers have shared an image of the "AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY" set

me, broke, watching people play FF Tactics (it's one of my favorite FF games)

Strongly believe that this is the best alternate costume ever added to a video game

holy shit they brought it back

This is correct. If you heard someone in an assisted-living facility rambling on this way, you'd be talking with the doctors about appropriate next levels of care. No kidding. And every officer in the room has to realize it.

You're not supposed to say this part out loud

17 people are dead from US strikes in the Caribbean this month and we still don't really know who they are and so far the president and VP have made jokes about scared fishermen.

It takes a real psychopath to say “the Geneva conventions no longer apply to us, because I said so.” That’s not “political correctness,” that’s “we can’t let shit like this happen again” in the wake of World War 1’s atrocities. Absolutely unhinged behavior, never mind rhetoric.

“I have seen movies, short films, completely created by artificial intelligence,” Herzog said. “Story and acting and everything, they look completely dead. There are stories, but they have no soul. They are empty and soulless.” Get their ass, Werner.

the evolution of Lee Chaolan from a little shit into Tony Stark should be studied for how insane it is
