Nice reply "owning" me, unfortunately you parsed 2 levels of irony but missed completely the third, wherein it's clear I'm making fun of the persona your reply intended to critique. That being said I'm still hurt to an almost unimaginable degree

Actually somewhat-massive news, COCONA, one of the members of the all-Japanese based-in-Korea group XG, has come out as non-binary transmasc and having had top surgery Which for an active idol in either country is just unheard of, never mind one at such a big group. They look amazing!

no one has ever gotten the spirit of our country as right as paul verhoeven making robocop

Anyway: If this year has taught you anything, I hope it's that white supremacy is fake as hell, fails without support, and requires extensive enforcement and blatant acts of favoritism and exclusion to survive. All-white/white supremacist spaces, political, social, and professional, are a choice.

I was bored last night so I watched an episode of OG Star Trek where they picked up Charlie, a traumatised teenager with godlike abilities who only wants people to love him, but is incapable of doing anything funny or nice, so he just destroys everything in fits of rage to hide his shame, hey Elon

Vallette and the highly effective wishing well!

Joe Rogan: That's crazy man you're saying that Amon, the fallen Xel'Naga whom destroyed the others with the Swarm is returning and now Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, is our best tool to defeat his coming? Zeratul: That is indeed correct, Joe Rogan Joe Rogan: That's fucked up man, that's crazy

Genuinely its going to be so weird explaining to future generations that we knew Trump was a rapist in 2016, pretty much knew his connections to Epstein too, and then we elected him as president twice as he told us that trans people and brown people are the real problem.

“They’re here illegally!” This is a democracy. We’re ostensibly the ones that make the laws. We can change the law. “But that’s…” Yes, your objection is racial and uses the law as an excuse.

i am running out of ways to say we gotta [redacted]

a whole new world to explore

The thing that really gets in my craw about Tim Sweeney's bitching over AI disclosure is that these are the same people who want to tell us how great AI is going to be for games. Like, which is it? Are you proud that you're using the tool or aren't you?

apparently saying that "JK Rowling can die" (not even a threat) is a bannable offense now under bluesky's "respectful discourse" policy respectfully, fuck that she spends millions on genociding trans people *civilly* and legislatively while smearing us as threats to women she can burn in hell 🔥

If there is a god, please take away all the heartache, anguish, fear, and hopelessness from trans people, and give it all to [redacted] instead.

this feels like another iteration of the "what if I give a homeless man money and he buys booze" thing. So then he bought booze, so what, you are not his personal life coach. You did your bit now go live your life.

it's kind of a moral obligation to bully harry potter fans into making them feel insecure with themselves. you don't even have to mention rowling being a snivelling fascist. you can just point out every harry potter fan is a 12 year old who never grew up with poorly developed taste

Game developers were here first. Not executives. Game developers make games. Not executives. Game developers have skills & knowledge important to the business. Not executives. Game developers deserve to keep their jobs. Not executives. Executives are replaceable. Not game developers.

its very funny when the same people who think its fine and honourable to be a soldier are like "you cant approve of luigi mangione! he's a cold blooded killer!" like sorry should he have demanded a salary or

an honest press would turn the public against the GCs in a week just by describing what they do and say accurately

[soul calibur announcer voice] everybody knows you're high, and they're mad at you

it’s kind of insane it came out that the president might be one of the most notable pedophiles in modern history and he’s just still the president

“I just have concerns about fairness in sport” - no, you don’t. There’s nothing fair about elite sports. You’re just looking for post hoc justification because we give you the ick

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

think it's cringe to care? WRONG. it's cringe to think you're above caring!!!! willingness to be emotionally vulnerability through earnestness is the most based thing there is.

being ruled by tiny men bereft of both curiosity and the ability to feel wonder is a terrible fate

Private equity.

JRPGs where the game ends if the main character falls in battle, even if other party members are alive. Persona and FFXIII tried to fix something that wasn't broken. It doesn't make me feel like I'm "embodying the character." It's stupid.

The louder they shout about "biological reality", the more I can hear the "gay sex is unnatural" echoes from the 1980s. Reactionary cunts, the lot of them. Then, and now.

I struggle not to feel creatively disingenuous if a single line of dialogue is edited by someone else, and that’s an inevitable part of my job. Anybody who can feel proud of what they’ve “made” using a plagiarism laundering device is someone who hasn’t got a shred of respect for their own ability.

“AI is here to stay” from the visionaries who brought you “NFTs are the future.”

I thoroughly reject that generative AI is something we are going to have to accept, it's simply not going to be true even in the wildest dreams of AI evangelists, and we have plenty of examples of games where AI generated elements were removed, so we know for a fact it can be done successfully.

I loathe with every fiber of my being that the term Black Friday is mainstream and marked on the calendar like it's an actual holiday to be celebrated. Curse this foul wretchedness that has brought nothing but despair to the hearts of retail workers across the nation.

all of your local community centers closed down during covid so now every third young man you meet on the street is quietly thinking about how to brutally murder a random woman actress who starred in a bad sci-fi movie that he's convinced is the sole reason he's not fulfilled emotionally or sexually

What if we threw every person involved in private equity into the ocean: aftermath.site/splash-damage-...

just one reporter hitting trump with a “hey man fuck you” would speed things up by at least a few months, depending on the delivery. the delivery matters a lot

this is your regular reminder that not only will the AI bubble pop at some point, it will take Elon Musk with it

Terrorists btw

Also? Stop believing the swill they spout about trans people, if we were such an existential threat you wouldn't need all of this right wing media and social media engineering to convince you of it, transphobia is all some billionaire ghouls' pet hate that they're boiling your brains to adopt.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

if elon just hired an Inverse Jester (guy hired to listen to his jokes and pretend they're funny) we could solve every problem except how to keep the inverse jester from killing himself

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

hazbin hotel is proof that we should be cutting furries and theatre kids insanely large checks constantly
