death roll

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

✨ Hi I'm Josie - I make music for games! I'm looking for work this spring and I'd love 2 combine forces with a team that wants to make something weird, wild, and full of heart. Is that you? Let's talk!! 🙋🏻‍♀️ [email protected] 💻 josiebrechner.com

I had the distinct pleasure of playing this one early! if you’ve got a heart and fingers that click you owe it to yourself to check out Station to Station

for me the personal legacy of how scott adams's work touched my life is when i was like 9 i read the dilbert principle, and also the joy of work, and learned the word "masturbating" from one of those books but had no idea what it meant and said it in front of my grandfather and got in trouble

It is unclear at this juncture what exactly *is* allowed to exist in games. Fluffy wholesome bullshit, jingoistic military murder sprees and number-go-up fantasy RPG grinds seem to be the only permissible forms left.

People are spreading misinformation about why it was banned anyway. They're justifying the game's ban based on vibes and hearsay. I don't know how to say this in any less hyperbolic of a fashion, but this kind of shit is going to destroy games as an artform if it continues.

Finally, the first (and best!) video game has been made.

been working on this for a while now! its like the Simpsons game but for @rudetales.bsky.social

Wander in Wonder is such a curious little game! I previewed it for @indiegamesplus.bsky.social at @bcngamefest.bsky.social: indiegamesplus.com/wander-in-wo...

I had to sit through videos of russian neo nazis decapitating people they kidnapped and watch the christchurch shooting for this Thanks mark, I hope everything you’ve built is destroyed in your lifetime and you spend your last years alone and fully aware of how hated you are

one of the main things I did at FB in the time I worked there was research trying to expand rules against hate orgs. there’s the hard worked results of three of the worst years of my life straight down the fucking toilet.

In vain we compute our felicities by the advantage of our good names, since bad have equal durations, and Wario is like to live as long as Mario

this makes me sound VERY powerful. and i am

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I really do want to challenge everyone I know in games media to really think about your coverage commitments to GTA VI or Rockstar over the next year. Rockstar busted this union because it didn't think it would suffer any consequences for doing so. Are you going to prove them right by rolling over?

I have demanded answers from the Cuomo campaign about the pregnancy status of the bill. They are refusing to answer. What are they hiding?

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.

Families of people with severe autism say the repeated expansion of the diagnosis pushed them to the sidelines. A new focus on the disorder has opened the way for them to argue their cause.
