To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country. In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits. This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Somehow we've reached a point where only negativity is considered sincere. Sincerely being happy for people, or excited about things, or grateful for your industry peers - it's not accepted anymore. It's become entirely Us vs. Them, and your position shifts based on how much negativity you bring.

Man, Highguard deserves so much better

so uh, hey @hazelmonforton.com why do I have a feeling I know what you were working on at Blizzard last year lmao

It took me years to get around to it but I finally read Looking for Alaska @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social it left me speechless, heart wrenched, and without closure, but you did so in a masterful way. Thank you for this book, and many more

Placing a layer of algorithmic recommendation on speech does not make speech less free, but it does pervert it. Algorithmic mediation turns speech into a resource extracted from human behavior. Platforms do not value speech because it is protected, they value the service it provides them.

yeah idk what the steam reviews are smoking, Highguard fucks hard, damn good entry

ADHD can fuck off and let me do work plznthnks

“Do violent video games make you violent” as a moral panic was such a shame because it elided the position of violence in the narrative, which DOES have real implications. Playing DOOM does not make you violent, but playing COD does propagandize you into supporting the American imperial project

If I had a nickel for every time Bungie dropped hella trailers and marketing for an upcoming game they’ve made on the same day I’m flying out from visiting my partner, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

It's been a dark week, but I just saw someone reply to an "Abolish ICE" post with a scoldy Bluesky "Uh, try abolish DHS" and that joy will sustain me for a little while.

Laser tag is a peak game but I want more places that set it up like airsoft maps with respawn points than just being back in play after a short timers

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

fwiw it’s been about six weeks since Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras who had been convicted of trafficking drugs into the US

Something fascinating to me is how a crossfade between two VO clips can be enough to increase the perceived deadspace between two clips. When 0.4s of quiet was acceptable without, adding the crossfade will make me reduce it to 0.3s instead. It's so interesting how much of an effect it has on pacing

tonight the government killed a story on cbs about the slave labor camp in a foreign country theyre illegally sending people to

I don’t know who needs to hear this or why this even needs to be said but if you don’t enjoy a game anymore you shouldn’t force yourself to play it.

Read this. Then read it again.

The restraint he showed not to fire after disarming him which showed unbelievable bravery, is just as impressive

7News Australia reports that the hero who jumped and disarmed one of the terrorist shooters His name is Ahmed el-Ahmed A 43 year old married father of two He owns a fruit shop in Sutherland No experience with guns He was walking past He has two bullets in his arm

The looting of aid in Gaza by "humanitarian rights organisations-backed Hamas" was -of course- actually by Israel, because Israel lies, Western media just prints it, and now a year later the rectification is published after the Palestinians are dead already. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

My biggest problem with hardcore players of games is that they oh so often treat their experience as a 0.1% of the playerbase the norm and not the fringe exception and should not be catered to in 90% of cases

clarifying to point out that, *were we at war*, what the Secretary of Defense and every single culpable human person in the chain of command beneath him did would have been, straightforwardly, a war crime; having not been at war it is *murder*

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Here’s what is interesting about this answer: It is not a “no.” bsky.app/profile/just...

I keep seeing a lot of articles like: "Arc Raiders is great BUT... I stand against using AI voices! 9/10" And like, ya'll, if you want to take a stand, maybe don't give it a glowing, positive review with a "but" in it? Just say "I don't play games that use AI slop. 0/10" Simple. Effective. Done.

We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event. And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.
