this cloudflare outage really had to hit while i was in the middle of rereading a fic huh

Like yeah, the Oscars suck, who cares! But also, Emilia Pérez getting in matters. People will go watch that hogshit and think it represents trans art or offers some insight into Mexican culture. I do think it's kind of fine to care a little and advocate for a better representation of the medium!

Two things can be true: 1.) The Game Awards are meaningless and we shouldn't take them all that seriously. 2.) Award shows of its scale DO rewrite the mainstream history of the art form, whether they deserve to or not, and its okay to care that it's so thoughtless despite having that responsibility.

This is such a special game (see the review I just put up about it), and it's a travesty that the team has been gutted like this. I hate what a common story this has become in this industry.

Tried something new, and wrote a piece of Possessor(s), the new game by Heart Machine that I can't stop thinking about. Would love if anyone gave it a read. lexplays.pika.page/posts/posses...

This game has led to the funniest posting ever honestly I can’t even be mad.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

✨NEW EPISODE✨ The iPad kids of Liberl are not happy right now. LISTEN: trailspod.online/s2/13

rewatching the devil wears prada and it's a great film but man her boyfriend really does suck as much as i remember

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

getting toward the end of SC just has me so enamoured with these games all over again. god it's fun to get to talk about them every week

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Reminder if you have still yet to play 1000xRESIST you are gravely missing out

NYC, today is the last day of early voting. Go out to vote today and save yourself the stress of Tuesday voting.

I truly believe we were the best team in baseball this year. I really do. We just couldn't do it. I'm so sad. I love them so much. I'm so proud of them and I also want to barf, so I guess that's sports for ya.

I wouldn't stoop so low to say that Dodgers didn't deserve it. I'll stoop even lower and say they were corroborating with the devil, the bullpen phone was a line straight to hell

and to think we could have been reminded what happiness was like

the bad guys win every time

ヒューフェル🎃

The Dodgers told me Yesavage keeps striking out their batters so I asked how many batters they have and they said they just go to the dugout and get a new batter afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding batters to Yesavage and then Jason Bateman started crying.

trey yesavage to every single dodger

eleven strikeouts what the!!

addison barger what a champ

unbelievable that "cis men can get breast cancer" would be treated as an unrealistic impossibility or punchline and not a matter of life or death for people, all because this society forces you to be "a fixed binary sex" before you are a person

happy halloween everybody 🩸 #FF7 #aerti
