Riddle me this, Trump administration: if laying off hundreds of thousands of people and crippling our economy and kneecapping our infrastructure was so cost-effective and saved so much money, how come you're making an emergency appeal saying you're fresh out of money for SNAP benefits?

It's so cool that Google discontinued the Chromecast , which retailed for $60, and then made the Google TV Streamer which is the exact same thing, except it has a worse name, has useless AI garbage built into it, and retails for $100. Awesome. Amazing.

Star Wars has been trying to provide dedicated comic relief characters for decades and yet, in almost 50 years of media, I truly believe nothing has ever been as genuinely gut-bustingly funny as Luthen Rael saying "We should've killed Krennic while we were in there."

I for one am *very* excited to play a version of Combat Evolved with updated level design and modern cutscene capabilities. Original is a landmark in videogame history but dang some of those levels and story beats really show their age.

I can't wait for this stupid investment bubble to pop and absolutely obliterate every company that bought into its blast radius. Utterly useless tech that is getting shoved down our throats cause CEOs are desperate for a return on the cash they got conned out of.

Finally rewatched Rogue One after finishing Andor, and honestly one of my biggest takeaways as Cassian and Jyn were leaving that tower was "Haha. In a way, I guess Luthen ended up getting Krennic after all."

Merge conflict in scene

Trump thinks some federal workers are simply second-class citizens who the law does not apply to.

Free Palestine, and may the flotilla arrive safely.

I have come to the conclusion that the technical artist version of "this could've been an email" is "this could've used the trim sheet"

run-backs to bosses in soulslike games should be illegal actually

Mobile videogame journalism sites are so functional and readable and helpful

gotta be a prime 4 release date in here right

ngl the current state of America (for the last 60 or so years) makes it really hard to find enjoyment in the current Helldivers storyline (tens thousands of innocents must now die in horrid battle because the Democracy People discovered some oil on land they don't control)

Yeah this attitude worked out really well for the Halo TV show with the Master Chief sex scene and the Yakuza show that was apparently even worse and the Borderlands movie nobody saw. Let's keep it going, it has to work eventually right

A lot of video-game publishers spend hundreds of millions of dollars chasing after "realistic graphics" and "massive open-worlds" when what players really want is just a shitload of weird little guys

If I had a bunch of PhDs in my pocket I would not know what 92% of them were even talking about. The internet has been around for a long time. Everyone with a phone or computer already has access to the sum total of human knowledge. ChatGPT changes nothing except how much of it is plagiarized.

Can't wait for Congress to say "yep Trump has breached the Constitution multiple times" and then do absolutely nothing about it, as per fuckin usual.

with each successive round of layoffs and buyouts, IGN staff have found themselves increasingly overworked. so now, in an effort to get laid-off colleagues rehired, they’ve resolved to do their fair share — and no more

Sayonara to the bozo CEO who mismanaged Bungie so badly he blew a billion-dollar employee retention fund and then laid off 100s of people who had no hand in his decisions while keeping his own overblown antique-car-buying paycheck and then had the GALL to put "f social injustice" in his Twitter bio

things are just really great for me rn ✊️😌

Israel intentionally targeted and murdered Palestinian journalist, son, father and husband Anas al-Sharif. We know this because Israel bragged about it. He is one of at least 237 journalists who have been assassinated over the last two years. If we are silent now, we are saying that that’s okay.

"Why would I help other people without some kind of economic incentive?" is really all you need to know about a person tbh

Grounds for divorce imo

"America first!" I scream before taking a sledgehammer to the American economy

There's no anomaly here. People, globally, volunteer their time to powerful public goods the moment they're not actively terrified that they'll lose their home, their food, and their freedom. Which means that capitalism requires us all to live in fear, always - because it can't compete with free.

Every day I feel we inch closer to a Lego Metroid set

Every time Sam Altman opens his mouth he says "I am actively going to make the world a worse place" and then every tech company says "excellent Sam, here have another billion dollars"

oh wow I wonder who is building tools for people to buy in order to deal with the problem he is creating? surely it's a trustworthy company that you want to tie your financial identity to and not one that will use the technology to push you ads from crypto companies

Some days are utterly remarkable for reasons you can't or don't want to talk about, and today is one of those days.

Here's the latest on the Subnautica 2 drama: - Krafton has agreed to extend the bonus earnout period for Unknown Worlds employees to account for the delay - The founders have filed a lawsuit for breach of contract - Complaint is still sealed (but more to come soon) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Every time.

but why

Random thought prompted by Star Wars: Andor: Saw Gerrera's inclusion in Rogue One has got to be the most well-executed Glup Shitto moment ever. A side character in one random Clone Wars arc showed up years later in live action and went on to sieze his place as a valuable mainstay in the canon. Wild

Making big moves on NPC animations today. Kind of a master programmer if I do say so myself

Just in: Unknown Worlds founders Charlie Cleveland and Max McGuire along with former CEO Ted Gill are filing a lawsuit against Krafton. Much more to come in the next few days

Yeah fucking right.

Honestly I have been trying to put into words what a scummy move this is on Krafton's part and I just can't. It is *impossible* for me to imagine being told I can expect a million-dollar bonus at the end of the year, only to be told some bastards at corporate decided to keep it for themselves.
