Something about how making a game is actually more of a management thing where you have to wrangle different groups and articulate a vision and manage conflicts. It's closer to producing and directing a stage play than a collection of each of its component parts.

And buying anything applicable under a "copyright" has never been owning.

People say this and think "yes, putting this game onto my phone is preservation" instead of hosting or sharing pirated games for other people to download on their home computer.

It would be boring to talk about nothing but Roblox and Fortnite from a media perspective every single day but like, that *is* where the vast majority of the young people are, and the best we ever do (myself included!) is acknowledge that fact and continue not talking about it.

*does something that is only beneficial to me* "Actually, it's good for the world when I do this. I am a good person."

I hate these kind of days because so few people understand that owning physical media is just owning a copy of a piece of media and the legal right (license) to read it according to whatever terms you ignored that were in the box. Console games have always been the worst about this.

The thing about it is sex and gender /are/ different things but they're both goopy and arbitrarily defined. The problem is many people think sex is hard, fixed physicality, when it's just an arbitrary description of a set of genetic traits on a series of mutable spectra.

Your kid isn't getting admitted on an athletic scholarship no matter how much you drive her to practice, but it always feels better to have an Other to blame, especially one that isn't real and can't be falsified.

wow maybe college should be free then

No it doesn't? what the hell.

The trans panic and vaccine refusal are, like the Satanic Panic before them, niche beliefs seeded by fringe lunatics and built whole cloth by the media Just Asking Questions. Normal people have to be taught to think this way. They can be taught to forget.

The same way that just a dozen people are behind over half of all the book bans, this entire goddamn nazi movement is a fucking handful of freaks who are loud enough in billionaire nazi sex pest social media empires to be confused with an entire crowd. This *is* their irl numbers and popularity.

I do love waking up in the morning and seeing a bunch of people posting "trans rights are human rights" and "I love trans people" and knowing some fuckass bullshit has gone down. Happy last day of pride

I don't know anything about Deltarune (undertale but the letters are rearranged) but apparently toby fraud has introduced in the latest episode some kind of aryan super soldier character. Typical.

I implore you. Like things. I don't mean to hit an engagement button on social media sites. I mean enjoy stuff. Don't be beige. Cringe is a manifestation of internal fear and other's condiditoning shame for no reason. It's bs. Be weird.

It is Thursday, which means once again I am thinking about the Klax cigarettes (picture via @iocat.bsky.social)

Either AI collapses or ram manufacturers figure out how to meet demand so prices come down. 75% of these data centers are already behind schedule and the whole thing is burning credit at a rate that's gonna put AI in a hole for decades even if they do become profitable through some kind of miracle

Okay. Then block me.

I’m fine with the physical GTAVI not having a disc as long as the game doesn’t ask me to shoot police officers. Just can’t do it.

Why is every quote post on this convinced sega is mailing your address to chatgpt to generate video games? You already agreed to these same sort of terms by posting on bsky, they just replaced "AI" with "automated tools" and "operation" which we know is claude cuz the devs keep saying so.

That message being of course: "whether you hand out a zine or shoot a cop the punishment is roughly the same"

Merritts last big rent paying project was a book of other people’s pictures run through AI, so i guess her suggestion for making rent is “steal from other people.” Wish games people would stop having her on podcasts and such.

My favorite thing about cybersecurity is there’s a million firms who will sell you gadgets for your network but the most successful attacks just look like this.

"you cant buy happiness" is a warning for rich people not for normal people. if youre not the kind of freak who makes or inherits millions you can absolutely buy yourself some happiness

On the other hand, when Jennicet Gutiérrez asked Obama to end the abuse of trans women in ICE detention and stop all deportations, while at a White House Pride event in 2015, Obama mocked her to her face and she was thrown out and briefly detained.

Don't worry sir, I'll kill speed racer for you, with my bee catapult

What's funny is it's another asian diaspora first gen movie about a tiger mom and an unruly child learning to co-exist like turning red and elemental were, but for some reason I keep seeing "owl house" cuz it's also a magic isekai with a brown girl in it. They're ripping off a different thing!

hetslop hetslop hetslop! Aaack!

spacex bankers looking for willing and able folks to hold this bag.

This is Miyamoto. We have FORGOTTEN about Mario. Buy the Kingdom Hearts IV game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system.

All I ever wanted was to be able to eat diverse food from many cultures and buy video games on launch week without feeling like I’m getting spiked in the kidneys and have a place to live that I actually own. Too much to ask, says the rich slaver pedophile.

A lot of folks have put a lot of energy into ignoring the truth: there is no nonviolent way to curtail the American police system. There are no political figures you can elect that are in control of the police. They’ve been their own political force for a century now.

Viacom/paramount/the corpse of Nickelodeon has been a pushing hard to capitalize on the IPs they own so they’re collabing with anyone with a pitch these days.

Seeing a lot of “executive orders aren’t legal orders” today from people who haven’t learned anything about US politics in the last decade or so.

Idk this looks fine. They just put shadows in the game. I actually got an even hotter take which is that crazy taxi is kinda ass of a design, just meant to take your money at the arcade. Nostalgia for it is nostalgia for arcades, not for crazy taxi.

this is also how I look when i see people jackin

The regulatory state is more important to the smooth operation of society to which we’ve become accustomed than anyone in this administration realizes, and in a lot of ways, we’ve already run off the cliff and are just starting to look down
