Words cannot express how important Becky Heineman was for video games. I can't believe she's gone, but her legacy will last forever

The Pinball Primer (which you may have seen linked from matchplay) has taken down all its pinball strategy guides, in protest of the IFPA. pinballprimer.github.io

Who says the pico 8 isn't fit for 3d platformers

Biological pronouns? She's the only one I got.

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

You can make this argument for any year but like, it's a little bizarre to make it for this one lol. Sure She Drives Me Crazy is a once in a generation bad song but I'd rather listen to half these songs than anything off Bleach or Pretty Hate Machine.

That classic pasttime: making 3d work in Pico-8

I’ve started a GoFundMe to help with my cancer battle gofund.me/6850175a3

People will yell about accessibility, but accessibility is a braille translation, not a book rewritten as if it was a simple english wikipedia entry. Sometimes the friction is needed to appreciate the art, and sometimes you have to build your fluency up to appreciate something. That's just culture!!

battle garegga has diagonal movement speed boosting like most 90s FPS so therefore it is the best shmup

idk the line of "but what if I want to experience the art and story" just feels gross to me at this point it never feels like it's said in good faith and is more just "this game isn't what I want it to be and should change to suit my desires"

In what other medium are you expected to make a whole separate version of your art for people who don't want to engage with it? Difficulty is framed as some cruel trick being played on the audience but like no one is forcing you to engage with art you don't like.

shit is bad enough for trans people. do not. i repeat. FUCKING DO NOT start talking about things that might happen in the future as though they are already happening now.

Reporters talking with everyone who has ever met the shooter asking if the shooter knew any trans people. Healthy society we have here for sure.

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

Transgender studies professor Dr. Susan Stryker tears Gavin Newsom a new one while accepting the Transgender Legacy Award from the California state legislature 🔥🔥🔥 @susanstryker.bsky.social

Mandatory hrt until 30 for everyone. You need to wait until you're 18 to vote and 21 to drink, so I think maybe even 25 is a little too young to decide that you're cis. Your brain is still developing, what if you end up regretting it later? Might as well make it 40, just so you're absolutely sure.

The low grade discomfort ordinary people felt about trans people's medical needs was used to smuggle junk science and conversion therapy into the mainstream, and now you're running around like "how did all this junk science and broad based attacks on expertise get normalized?"

You can tell people have no fucking clue just how environmentally damaging LLMs are when they think any world where they're around in ten years has anyone left to make art in the first place. In the US alone they're projected to use 120 gigawatts. For context, the UK peak demand this year was 30.

If you've got the time to harass people for smoking weed on their front porch then you probably don't have all that much violence to prevent

True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter. Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵 x.com/andrewcuomo/...

Hello. I interviewed one of the most interesting people in the world. Had a chat with Shoko Uehara, aka JON, and asked her about her long career as an outsider musician, why she performs in a dog costume, John Zorn, and more. www.shy.center/p/jon-interv...

The entire experience of being trans in the English-speaking world right now feels like arguing with a toddler who has a loaded gun pointed at you.

High up there in the running for Best RPG Ever Made, if you missed it on PC you're in for a hell of a ride

The sports thing is the only anti-trans thing that polls well, so they're going to force through every heinous rollback of our rights under the sports banner. All because people refused to believe the science.

look, i know that it's a silly argument to say that leftists being annoying turns people right-wing, but let me make that argument anyway

Apparently literally everyone knows about the taco bell vampire and loves him dearly

Corporate: I can’t tell the different between these two documents. And neither can Councillor Ed Flynn

I need cis people to understand that this is the kind of journalistic rigor that the New York Times brings to their constant anti-trans coverage. Don't laugh at them when you're a subject matter expert and then believe them when you aren't.

Ah the r/atheism crowd is out today, you love to see it.

Like I'm sorry like I can't find this not funny like oh we're having lunch at a sponsors restaurant w/e product placement but the out of nowhere, mid convo, camera cut to glaze the pico de gallo is killing me just totally out of nowhere. Is this a big deal? No, but lol I can't NOT notice it

The pure cowardice of these institutions

Don’t vote for Gavin Newsom lol
