Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

When the game wasn’t actively getting in my way, I had a great time - particularly when everything goes batshit about half way through! www.eurogamer.net/silent-hill-...

reminder that Disney+ has still been on the Palestinian BDS boycott list for over a year. You should continue the pressure and continue withholding your money from them.

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment? If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com. Please spread the word

Worth remembering on the Kimmel thing and everything else that there are way more of us than there are of them, they're just louder and they lie all the time.

💅

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

"Silent Hill f is thick with a terrifying yet beautiful foggy atmosphere and truly gnarly monster designs, combined with incredibly well-judged, smart, and gut-wrenching writing." My review: www.gamesradar.com/games/silent...

Always love to hear Vikki on Silent Hill, and this is a great review! Feels validating we agree on so much, but also very interesting to see where we differ as well.

Just had my hospital appointment for the beginning of November cancelled due to "unavoidable circumstances" and now have to wait until February 2026 for the rescheduled one. That's 6mts between my first and second appt ffs. 🙃

Vikki is the definitive voice for Silent Hill, so if she’s saying this, it is worth treating as gospel.

A typically great and very positive review from Silent Hill expert Vik; but there are several elements in here that, for me, combine to tell of a game I'll be picking up at half RRP or less.

Fuck’s sake.

This should have been a moment of profound national learning - about the corruption that serves our elite - but the Cabinet Office which ran the VIP Lane sought to close the discussion down and Labour unaccountably let them. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

am sure this absolutely sucked to deal with but this also looks like the cover for a killer circa-2009 indie rock EP

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

Keep in mind, these are the "official" Western numbers - so they're a low estimate by media and governments that has proven incapable of not being complicit. Even the pro-genocidal Western powers that be now speaks of a literal decimation as best case scenario. It might be as high as 1 in 4.

1 in 10 people in Gaza has now been massacred by Israel.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

Game professionals form coalition to 'push against the dehumanization of Palestinians'

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

It’s working! Keep at it!

Looks like LinkedIn is updating its policies again. Great time to make sure "Data for Generative AI Improvement" is set to off if you're into that kind of thing.

I see people pointing out this would be a good time to cancel Disney+/Hulu and when it asks for a reason, check “Other” and write in something about Kimmel. Some people are going with a variation of “you cancelled Kimmel, I cancel you.”

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

settings > content & media > autoplay video & gifs = off

Joe’s wonderful. TheGamer’s loss could be your gain!

This might be important to some people

wear a shirt saying protesting genocide: arrested for terrorism incite the public to assault anyone they think is trans: prime minister and health secretary step in to defend you and rewrite the laws on your behalf

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

Ugh. Why not fund the police properly so they can do both, you fucking twats.

Since I got laid off in May I've been working with a number of other former Polygon writers to start a new website. I'm proud to announce that we've just launched Rogue.site, a worker-owned and operated games journalism site funded by readers like you.

Cannot overstate how much I hate Wes Streeting and everything the soulless, heartless ghoul stands for. Imagine looking at Lin*ham’s rap sheet & years-long hate campaign and think the POLICE were wrong. There’ll be a Horrible Histories about this one day. Shock at how our govt let this happen.

Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services

here's the thing, don't feel bad about enjoying this moment because if he is still alive, he is now watching literally the entirety of the english speaking globe celebrating and laughing at the thought of him dying, and THAT is worth it alone

Spectacular article, all the major insights captured, but an early one here into how sincerely these men care about protecting our women and girls.

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

People still seem to not understand that: 1. Asylum seekers in the hotels are legally allowed in the country, and only become illegal if their application is rejected. 2. The 4 * hotels are not like a hotel; they've been converted to have four to eight people in a rooms designed for two people.

*adds Rylan Clark to the list of people who can go fuck themselves*

HAHAHAHAHA. It was a good day if I found a t-shirt without food stains on it.

Cishet white men make up the majority of sexual predators, and are the biggest threat, and the failure to focus on that is the problem. Holyrood banning trans people from toileting while this was going on shows what a farce transphobia is. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

so illustrative of our government's warped priorities that they're choking the life out of the internet under the pretense of protecting children, meanwhile over here we have a huge corporation exploiting kids for labour like it's Victorian times but there's not a word from them

It's ridiculous isn't it. Nigel Farage can negotiate with the Taliban, but he can't talk to his constituents in Clacton. Because it is too dangerous.
