I feel that Destiny 2's mismanagement has done lasting damage to videogames as a whole. So many people jsut assume that they couldn't come back to Warframe because they've probably deleted all the older story Basically zero games have done that. Destiny 2 is Vaulting Georg and should not be counted

Finally finished Siege of Burning Grass from @premeemohamed.com. Amazing storytelling, building up a strange world and desperate/determined people and inviting reader into it. Was a hard read for me — took me months. Desc of the war and its consequences too easy to map to too many current events.

Since the spring of 2023, I have been creating a non-violent art museum in Doom. My goal was to find art that engaged with the themes that informed Doom's creation, while also exploring the possibilities of virtual museum spaces. Please enjoy this museum. Download link below

1/ OK! We analyzed all ~5,300 pages of public records on the Moda Center deal — every email, text, contract, and invoice produced so far. Before Portland commits ~$850M+ ($1.12B after interest), here’s what every Portlander should know. It’s not the story you’ve been told. 🧵

game devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?

THE ACKROOMS

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

So many people who can reasonably be described as “that little shit” are in charge of so much of society.

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

I am a fan of scifi, especially cyberpunk, and this one sequence from the MurderBot Diaries always tickled me to imagine as an IRC sequence. 📖 Exit Strategy (Book 4, Chapter 7) ✍️ @marthawells.com #MurderBot

Proposal: We upgrade Moda but it’s to host Nuremberg Trials 2.0

Do what's right for your own healing. Always. Whether or not you forgive is your thing. But NB "forgive" doesn't HAVE to mean "tell them you forgive them" & it CERTAINLY doesn't have to mean "let them back in your life" & ABSOLUTELY doesn't have to mean "give them a chance to do that shit again."

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

if we're talking invitations then let's talk about inviting the hosts of @fivefourpod.bsky.social to speak at your events in exchange for money

I want a new mayor this one is corrupt.

‘Gastronauts’ understands that cooking shows aren’t dramas. They’re comedy. Host Jordan Myrick talks about how the series deconstructed the food competition.

A sneak peak into the development of indie games:

Nonhyperbolically so! A million seconds is a week & a half. A trillion seconds is the time between the last glacial maximum and today. A trillion seconds ago there really were seven stars in the Pleiades! A trillion seconds ago, dogs hadn't been invented yet!

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people. The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work. Subscribe to support our journalism.

A very happy fuck all fascists day today and every day and thank you to Hungary for giving us all hope

This whiplash where the president terrifies the world for a few days with unhinged threats and then says “never mind” and then there’s this implication that anyone scared of his unhinged threats was overreacting is very domestic abuse but make it a country.

There’s not a lot better in the world than looking at a cat, giving them a slow blink, and getting one back.

Woke up from a dream (Nightmare?) this morning. The toy that was all the rage with the kids was “my little Tony” dolls. I had to exorcise this thought, I'm so sorry.

Ya’ll, I took the new train into Seattle, and met another trans girl who was also excited about the fact that we have the world’s first (technically second) train on a floating bridge and my wife called it the Trains Day of Visibility.
