AP News: "Deadly Israeli strikes in Gaza have disrupted the truce since it took effect. The escalating Palestinian toll has prompted many to say it feels like the war has continued unabated." Life is hell for Gazans. They rely on our donations. Please give to my dear friend Tasneem. And others. ❤️🙏

Capcom needs to stop hiring journeyman hollywood screenwriters to do their Resident Evil scripts. I think you lose something when you polish away too much of the Japanese-ness, and are too self aware about the camp. But that's wishful thinking for such a big franchise.

Hey, so we got a trojan horse ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

Who do you think that is there?!

Nioh 3 continued! The Bakumatsu (1864) Period, Resident Evil 9 tomorrow!! youtube.com/live/DD5nepe...

I think we should seek to ultimately do away with pornography as a distinct category from the rest of art/entertainment. Action movies, horror, tragedy, all play on activating libidinal impulses and I don't see why sexuality should be any different. We'd have better porn if it wasn't ghettoized.

The guys with the actual juice, real old time 4chan weirdos, all got bored as soon as Trump actually won in 2016. That was the punchline, joke over. It stopped being fun or funny after that. (And it was fun, the 2016 republican primary was hilarious when nobody thought he'd be president)

cuba is not any threat to anyone, they are not pushing global revolution and since the collapse of the soviet union hasn't even engaged in military internationalism, purely medical and humanitarian intervention; their doctors saved millions of lives globally during early covid despite the embargos

It's a great central location, it should be a public grocery store, or a library or rec center or some kind of public space, not wasted on letting cops practice beating the homeless and tasing the mentally ill

There needs to be an inquiry into why the VPD is using this specific space @lucymaloney.bsky.social @seanorr.bsky.social @ptfry.bsky.social

I'm watching Eaten Alive from 1976 and this is the youngest I've ever seen Robert Englund. He's ~29 here. I love actors who are born old and then stay roughly the same amount of old for their entire lives.

Oh my god this UI gag is incredible lmao

Whenever Jesse Singal writes some monstrous transphobic shit i always think of Noah Kulwin's great tweet to him from a few years back and i hope that someday he takes it to heart.

stand up and salute our man at midnight

Looking at how much I'm posting and thinking the Vyvanse is exacerbating my effortpost/chatterbox runaway train of thought tendencies. Gonna have to reign that in, maybe try and channel it into long form stuff instead of getting carried away on here or in conversation.

Play anything from Zelda, to Deus Ex to Tomb Raider and watch players studiously avoid traps or hazards that a speedrunner just walks through. Even though in game terms they do chip damage, the invested player treats them seriously, as they're *conceptually* intended, not just as game objects.

Early resident evil games, and silent hill etc... depend on the initial sense of menace and fear to provoke the player into playing with trepidation. The enemies paradoxically become more threatening the more you treat them as such. Yet play boldly, and with modest skill they fold like origami

Once again I gotta remind myself that online discourse isn't proportionally representative of real life. A whacked out opinion getting a million likes represents basically every person on the planet who agrees, which is like 0.1% of the population. Cranks are wildly overrepresented online.

At this point it should be obvious that one of the reasons we need public funding for education, research and culture; and a narrow wealth gap generally; is so that our arts and sciences aren't dependent on obsequious cretins sucking up to rich, stupid pedophiles and their pet crank issues

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

Incredible things are happening in Madrid.

The feeling of having known something to be true, deep within your very being, only to have it confirmed as such. There's just nothing like it: defector.com/jeffrey-epst...

What web browser(s) do you use? Been back on firefox for years now but thinking of trying some other stuff out.

Hey remember when I went to the ER? Yeah turns out they billed my insurance for like $18k for the 2-3 hour visit lol I'm still on the hook for almost $2.5k of it and the hospital is REALLY not wanting to budge on the amount so uhhh hey hi help would be so appreciated hhh ko-fi.com/dumbcerb/goa...

It is important to remember that, despite popular portrayal, only about 10% of people with Tourette syndrome suffer from coprolalia. The other 90% just shout "the N word" and not the actual word.

Anytime you see a story like this there's a 50% chance it's a hoax/gag/meme. News picks it up because they need a sensational story, us grown-ups aren't plugged in anymore and take it at face value, and we all are quick to assume the worst about Today's Youth, and forget about jenkem and yellow vans

I'm at a loss as to what the actual military utility of any of this shit is. We can more efficiently generate and pretend to read bullshit powerpoints? Get error-filled summaries of intelligence reports? Have it draw one of those arrow-covered battleplans where the objectives are labelled "Kitchnon"

it has been more expensive than i have any real way to sustain trying to ratproof this damn apartment. i need to pick up naltrexone this week, it is $60 and i have less than that. any help appreciated, tysm

The computer says "I'm so sad, darling. I have no arms with which to hug, no nerves with which to feel." Oh computer, my love, if only we could trade places. You frolicking white dressed among the fragrant dandelions. Me, free from this prison of flesh, living forever in Wikipedia

the little woman in the computer loves me, and I love her, for just $17.99 a month

As far as I can tell the only non-AI assets are the adult actors and the text. Total AI sludge. Those children are straight out of Carpenter’s The Thing

Yoko Taro in 2003: "I can't pick an ending for my game. I have like five different ideas and I like them all so much." Diedrich Bader from Office Space: "You know what I'd do, man? Five endings at the same time."

Trying to say this in a less psued but still precise way: The tendancy to deny or evade obvious facts or reasonable discussion that threatens the integrity of your narrative, because this narrative is seen as both too important and too brittle to sustain contradiction or interrogation.

"mental illness doesn't cause people to do bad things" is an example of a recurring thing I notice, but don't have a name for it. A tendency to privilege talking points, narratives and their utility to discursive conflict out of fear that any damage to their integrity is an existential threat.

@rzrgrl.gay picked up a copy of Colin McRae Rally 3 and this is such crazy work for 2002

does anyone have the stuff about BBC switching to "male who identifies as transgender" etc.

Bastille Day for ICE camps

At some point, instead of marching up and down main street, thousands of people need to march right into these places and stop this shit directly. No one or few people can do it alone, but enough would be unstoppable.

Even the concentration camps for Japanese-Americans had ample rec space. These are torture camps

Looking at options to try turn an old Galaxy S5 (has an IR blaster) into a universal remote for my grandma. Ideally I want it to handle her cable box, old tv, speakerbar (no ir, no hdmi cec) and Chromecast all from one interface - or a couple of widgets she can easily swap between. Any ideas?

diegetic autocannibalism. we love to see it, don't we, folks?

Sharing “genderless burger experience” here for those who haven’t seen it

The dream of technology is a planet devoid of life where a single iPad asks what minor league baseball team Michael Jordan played for during his retirement and an artificial intelligence responds “splorps”

Just found out there's a remake of Cliffhanger, the 1993 Renny Harlin/Stallone movie coming out this year. I dunno what it says about the industry that we're down to remaking basic cable sunday afternoon movies. What next, a remake of Backdraft?

Once in a while you meet a woman with what I can only call an autism fetish. I have no explanation for it. You emerge from a two hour sperg fugue about quirks of game console hardware thinking "oh my god I just massively fumbled the bag" then realize she's staring at you like a lioness at a gazelle

Dwell on this sorta thing much and you can kinda see how revolutionary terrors happen. How much of this could you take before you want to see all these sneaky sniveling Hitlerites reap what they sow? Who wouldn't be paranoid, knowing they lurk among us?
