Due to recent discussions: when I worked at a library, I was trained on how to politely but directly respond to unwanted sexual comments. Unfortunately commonly-marketed fantasies about librarians mean it happens a lot. Rehearse these. Be comfortable saying them forcefully, but politely.

I finally got around to finishing the Seance of Blake Manor and I loved it! Also it weirdly made me think a lot of GDC. A spooky murder mystery in a video game conference would be pretty funny lol

Is there any animator out there who will deny this?

What's the difference between MLB The Show and Fallout? In MLBTS, WAR always changes.

Mamdani: Where else can you hear the sound of the steel pan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?

excited to share all my rolls for 2025 #blessed #gottamakethatBREAD

I sometimes pronounce Gnomes the same way as Gomez with an N

I'm hoping for more articles on this situation, because we cannot stay quiet: www.gamesradar.com/games/simula...

I just bought this game. As a Muslim I want to see more Muslim characters in games, and not just as targets for some ghoul's murder fantasy. More Muslim characters in cozy games please!

We have Balatro at home.

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

Damn. I was reaaaalllly looking forward to playing Anno 117. Will probably not be picking this up.

This isn't snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, this is fishing out the One Ring from Mount Doom.

this was for a colorado measure guaranteeing universal free lunch for kids. funny how a short two-column table can say so much in so little space.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Andrew Cuomo gave more money in taxpayer subsidies to Elon Musk than the entire cost of Zohran Mamdani’s free bus plan. It’s not unreasonable or radical to want our tax dollars to go to programs that help us, instead of as giveaways to billionaires.

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

Weapons (2025)

People on here will post anything. 'Baseball games have 9 innings.' No they don’t. That isn’t true.

Whatever happens, this has been an AMAZING World Series

On one hand I want Shohei Ohtani to win, on the other hand it'd be really REAAALLLY funny if the single Canadian team in MLB wins the WORLD series

'The "uncle" who Frodo said got rich by adventuring with Dwarves is actually a distant cousin, he clarified on Monday.' - Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, The Shire Post

What do you mean they're in the SIXTEENTH inning?

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

If anyone ever wants to know what driving in Dhaka looks like, my brother has started a series on YouTube No commentary www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEdf...

Prom is judging ou for not giving her belly-rubs

Today is my last day at Blizzard! Working with the World of Warcraft team has been such a fun, positive experience. I can't wait for players to see what we made together. Now I'm looking for my next role in games, full time or contract, indie or AAA. You can check out my portfolio on my website! 🖤

It's pretty wild that Ben Starr is in two GoTY candidates this year.

So how long is it going to be until they start calling Tylenol 'woke'?

The last time I was at a studio with a layoff, a meeting was derailed because the director asked, with increasing irritation, which engineer was supposed to design a feature that underpinned the whole game. That engineer had been laid off 2 days prior, and no one else knew how to do it.

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

It's a sign of the times that a writer/narrative designer as talented as Emma is looking for work, but it also means your team has an excellent opportunity to scoop her up. Deadpool was one of the best parts of Midnight Suns & Hindsight is a moving exploration of memory & grief. Seriously, hire her.

This sums up this payment NSFW fiasco pretty well.

NEW: A federal judge in Miami has ruled that operations at the controversial detention facility Alligator Alcatraz must begin to wind down, ordering state and federal officials to stop transferring detainees there and relocate current detainees within 60 days.

Blood Elf Paladin Expansion - let's gooooooooooooooooooooooo

this is andrew cuomos current campaign strategist, this is revealing in real time just how much vote blue no matter who is a statement centrists use as a weapon to get the left in line

T-Rex

I've only ever bought one movie as soon as it became available digitally, and that is Superman (2025)

What we actually need is a full-throated defense of cities—and that means a full-throated defense of a pluralistic society. Because you will never get those specific voters on board as long as they believe lies simply because the people they’re telling them about have darker skin

This is probably as far as I've ever seen the NYT move towards acknowledging that there are tons of Jewish New Yorkers who don't always back Israel or vote on an Israel litmus test www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/n...

Kotaku reverted to its old CMS and with that restored a bunch of old news articles, including what I think was the first one of my career on a major website not focused on indie games. I remember running around the building yelling excitedly at people. That's almost 15 years ago.

My team is hiring again! We've got two jobs posted: EXPERT and SENIOR writer. In our org chart, Expert is a click above Senior and focused on craft. Senior owns big parts of the game and could eventually be promoted to a direction- or craft-focused role. lnkd.in/gpYpu3QZ lnkd.in/gppUzFmj

Being kind is, indeed, the real punk rock

Person who comes up with puns in ads

Hey, everyone who is calling Mastercard and Visa about the age verification BS. I think you should start aiming at YouTube as well.

I don't normally like rewatching movies, and I only go to the cinemas for movies I really want to watch because of my neck issues. I've rewatched Superman twice now, and the neck pain is absolutely worth it.
