Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

MAGA people lining up wanting the taxpayers to give them money. Trump wants $10 billion. Lindsey wants $1 million. J6ers want money. Farmers want money. Of course CEOs want their contracts, subsidies & tariff waivers. It’s griftapalooza at taxpayer expense for the gangsters.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

When will there be a game dot com episode of @retronauts.bsky.social ?

I dunno GDC, maybe consider relocating out of the country?

Anyone remember this Tim Cook? www.apple.com/speaking-up-... Where did he go?

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c 1. continuing, not 1 off. 2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it 3. literally at hand of federal government, which is 4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Whelp, here we go. National Guard activated. Now we get to see who they serve, especially if Trump tries to nationalize them. More or less instantly sets off a constitutional crisis.

The dudes in seattle who would show up at peaceful rallies with the AR15s acting tough to children were the 3percenters, proud boys etc The reason they aren't out now is simple - they are ICE.

I haven't seen too much chatter about how the RAM and SSD price crisis is going to crater the game industry. Sure layoffs are bad now, but wait until there's no influx of new customers because nobody can buy hardware and devices until 2028.

And so now I begin the indefinite wait for HDR to finish processing on my YouTube videos.

This is the American Gestapo restraining a citizen and directing a chemical weapon directly into both eyes and every airway. This is torture and attempted murder. This is what the Democrats are voting to fund and keep going. They find this acceptable. They can live with this. I can't.

I HAVE TO GET TO NASHUA

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

So uh, if they are just going to throw it away....can Meta just give me Supernatural? I'm pretty sure I an figure out how to make it a profitable business.

As long time coming. No more “jumping X” trophy harvesting games on PlayStation www.eurogamer.net/sony-wiped-o...

Sure seems like ICE is gping into a violence spiral in MN. They act out, people monitor and protest, they get madder and more agitated, people monitor and protest more. They‘re going to kill more people, administration’s going to congratulate and encourage more, they’re gonna kill MORE people.

@kitandkrysta.bsky.social video game pinball still exists. www.nintendolife.com/reviews/swit...

This is what happens when a country 2x rejects the very idea of a woman POTUS & instead chooses not just any man, but a rapist who brags about his serial sexual assaults & his decades-long friendship with a pedophile. Violent misogyny--largely unrecognized--is the glue binding the MAGA coalition.

I totally missed this at CES, the Total Recall fingernails are finally here: www.reuters.com/video/watch/...

RIP to an absolute legend.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

David Rosen, who helped create Sega and changed the coin-op industry forever, has passed away. www.replaymag.com/segas-dave-r... An absolute titan in video game history. May he rest in peace.

This is videogame thinking where you win a battle and suddenly the map changes colors and all the factories and barracks are yours

The sheer audacity of Alien Breed '92's end sequence! This is it! All of it! It goes from "This is your fault for buying a budget game" to "We ran out of space but on purpose" via "Using our ~huge~ selection of in-game cheats means you wasted your time" and then "Please buy AB2!" Fuck you too, AB92!

Media ethicists don't struggle to see where things went wrong. Flacks on panels. Guests allowed to lie with impunity, then invited back. Too much anonymous sourcing. Anecdotes replacing data. Fearing the government. Avoiding hard truths in favor of bothsidesism. Proft over news.

Well that’s a wrap for season 1. My last developer interview of the year is up: youtu.be/jqHfy-_FAN0?...

The performance on the Switch 2 version of Shadow Labyrinth is really bad. Scrolling is so choppy it’s hard to play. I should have gone with the PS5 version which is also on sale.

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc. vgdensetsu.net/riekokodama/

Stephen Miller found an immigrant he likes.

Humanity having to shut down the UGC stuff on consoles is a shame--consoles need a Steam Workshop like system that lets subscribers to the platform store their UGC in the cloud. It would make features like that much more economically viable.

Wow -- I never actually knew Atari did a Batman coin-op based off the first Tim Burton film in 1990? I've never seen this game before: youtu.be/dD5YTh8B5cM?... Looks like late period System 2?

I'm a big fan of 'checking each eye' acting.

If only Americans had a recent way to know how crucial immigrants were for the success of the Manhattan Project. A big Hollywood movie where a lot of the nuclear scientist characters speak with accents and talk about fleeing Europe that makes tons of money and wins a bunch of Oscars, perhaps.

Again,

If Nintendo can bring back the Virtual Boy with a Switch 2 peripheral, they can do the same with R.O.B.

Costco reigns supreme. The 4tb external SSD I got a year ago on Amazon is now 2X the cost. But on Costco it's still the same price it was a year ago. Snuck in the purchase right before the new year.
