The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

HELP!! Does anyone have a connection at YouTube that can help me? Today, my small channel was demonetized and my payment account terminated. Due to the size/activity of my channel I cannot imagine this was not a mistake. Stressed & desperate. 💙

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

credits that include the names of everyone who worked on the game at any point

We need regulation on unlicensed therapy bots like yesterday.

ralsei is right [ drawing streak: 239 || full ralsei archive: bit.ly/dailyralsei || #deltarune ]

is it good when your product becomes hip slang for “bullshit”

Keep it up everyone, if we just keep making games with women and pronouns we can eventually ensure that the chuds never get to enjoy a single new video game ever again

Fuck me this is bleak. But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

being totally comfortable speaking this way to millions of people is one of many signals that we're in an extremely dark place

1. Grummz knows 0 trans people. 2. He has spent the last decade and a half complaining about games being too woke, being ousted from the industry, boobs not being big enough, vaginas being patched, writing rape fan fiction about his ex wife, being fired, etc... he is definitely NOT a happy person.

Holy fucking shit

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

months after the BDS movement added microsoft to its list of priority targets, prompting a reckoning among members of the games press and a game removal by one indie studio, devs at arkane, a microsoft studio, have publicly spoken out against microsoft's complicity in genocide

“You’re just looking for things to be offended by” say the adults who whine about how “woke” they imagine an unreleased children’s show might be, before actively looking for queer indie games to be offended by. Also they’re cunts.

The experience of being queer in indie games is you can build a little space, you can spend years building it, you can make an entire thriving community there, and it can be wiped away into nothing because one person somewhere shrugged one day and was like "eh… no more queers"

what are we doing here

Two months after Valnet purchased Polygon, the gaming site is running advertisements designed to look like articles

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

I also run a list of cool freelance games journos!

Rockstar: GTA 6 is delayed Gamergate clown who is missing 90% of his brain:

The dismantling of games journalism exactly mirrors the dismantling of the industry it covers. It’s a very deliberate disassembly - media in general is being actively killed off by myopic and utterly useless vandals. I sincerely wish ill for those who *indulge* in causing layoffs.

MAGA = divide and conquer. "LGB" without the TQ+ = divide and conquer "Gender Critical" = divide and conquer. The rich wanting the poor to fight amongst themselves = divide and conquer.

The rich and the creatively bankrupt love generative AI because why invest into the creatives when you can just have a machine regurgitate what you already like without repercussion.

America is not the land of the free, it is a land for the narcissists.

Perhaps the Gamers are alright

Shot. Chaser.

Cool we're North Korea now

If you were outraged by the crimes against civilians on Oct 7th but not by the many more crimes against civilians *since* Oct 7th - just this week: kids being burned from head to toe; having their limbs amputated without anesthetic - then you don’t actually care about crimes against civilians.

Bobby Kotick is a pathetic, babyish, nasty piece of shit. Suing websites for “defamation” assumes his name is good enough to tarnish when it is in fact pure fucking mud. Instead of wasting money that *we* all subsidized, he should use it to address the obscene pay disparity at his company.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

i’m losing my shit at this

dudes talking up generative ai like "finally a tool for a mediocre man like me to get credit i dont deserve"

There's a list of her accounts here, do not let her come back she has been fucking terrorizing trans and organizing spaces for almost a fucking decade and a half Moreover, ICE must be destroyed bsky.app/profile/alra...

Probably been said before but Balatro is up there with Tetris for games that feel fine tuned and deceptively simple.
