NEW VIDEO: After MySpace, but before Spotify truly took hold, a bunch of waistcoated indie folk groups were stomping, clapping and hey-ing their way into our hearts. Just over a decade later and it's considered the worst thing to happen to music since Simon Cowell. Here is who to blame.

INTRODUCING: Summer Eternal Anthology Volume One. This incendiary tome is part cultural journal, part development diary, part exclusive game reveal. Built by firestarters, for firestarters. summereternal.com/anthology

it's from the river to the sea no matter what 🇵🇸

Kieskompas beaamt: in Nederland is geen sprake van wederzijdse 'polarisatie', maar van een rechtsextremismeprobleem. Links is zo gematigd als het altijd is geweest, maar de rechterflank is totaal op hol geslagen.

That Naked Gun 2025 villain basically sums up a lot of the real-life villains we have to deal with. Perfectly.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

new fear unlocked: people confusing an autistic voice or affect with generative AI even more reason to hate sloppers

knights of guinevere is so fucking good lmao. i hope one day to make a show of that amazing quality 🥺

TikTok comments will tear people to shreds over *such* low-stakes things. i've seen people destroyed for, like, not seasoning their pasta water, or taking a seashell from the beach?? REQUEST: please tell me the pettiest reason you've seen someone be widely attacked on TikTok

Dat dit uitzonderlijk is, zegt vooral veel over het niveau vd NLse journalistieke. En zo side-eyen wij andere media constant op de redactie.

😆

THE MEME IS REAL

this feels catastrophic in ways few other big industry deals have

Welp, EA is now owned by a group including the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund and Trump's son in law Jared Kushner (CEO of Affinity Partners). Good luck Bioware - I wish your brand of queer centric RPGs good luck... www.eurogamer.net/ea-privately...

difficult games aren’t there to empower you, theyre there to give you a digital bdsm session

Ahja nee het is geen maatschappelijk probleem, de ggz functioneert helemaal top, demense moeten gewoon zelf wat meer me-time nemen.

Chrome's adblock dying has really just shown how bad ads have gotten now huh This appeared and fullscreened my window, hid my cursor, for clicking on a youtube download link lol old people are just not built to handle this

We hebben niet nóg meer analyses van Wilders nodig. Na 20 jaar weten we het wel. Ook vd Plas, Yesilgöz, Eerdmans etc. Hoeveel airtime en kolommen nog? Over minder dan een maand zijn er verkiezingen: waar zijn de vele interviews met Dibi? Ouwehand? De mediaobsessie met rechts ís de winst van rechts.

Every video of Super Eyepatch Wolf is basically an exercise in existential dread so I have to wonder. Does he go to therapy? /j

this is what EAFC26 looks like on PC on ultra visual settings. in the year of our lord 2025, with the billions EA makes, this is what it looks like.

Really sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Kaleb Horton, a fantastic writer. Only seems fitting to share what he wrote for David Lynch kalebhorton.ghost.io/death-is-jus...

The boycott works. Continue the boycott.

Opinie Jenny Rozema: Haat en desinfo over transgender personen klakkeloos herhaald in Nederlandse berichtgeving over moord op Charlie Kirk www.bnnvara.nl/joop/artikel...

You know how fascism requires a smaller and smaller ingroup as it develops? Well so does neoliberalism. Palestinians, trans people, disabled people...they become acceptable losses who must be sacrificed to "save democracy." The only way to defeat fascism is to leave no one behind.

Its almost as if neoliberalism is just polite and slow fascism

Congrats to the BDS. FREE PALESTINE.

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

in hindsight i think the path of collapse for telltale games - a devoted niche becoming unsustainable due to a breakneck industry outgrowing its infrastructure, a hit success tied up with IP, an overreliance on its formula, and ultimate financial overleverage - was an omen for the games industry

PlayStation Pro’s always been a funny product name to me because they started with a play on the word “workstation” to turn it into an idea centered on “play,” and then they added “professional” to it to turn it back into work

The more I think about it the more I’m fascinated with the idea of remastering a game from 2000 to look like a game from 2004.

Mocht je nog op zoek zijn naar een voorbeeld van framing via beeldredactie: hier een weinig subtiele uit een item van de RTL-talkshow, over de 15-jarige jongen die door de politie werd doodgeschoten terwijl hij van hen wegrende en op dat moment geen pistool op ze gericht had.

my myst story: a fun "party trick" I learned in the 90s is that you can beat Myst by memorizing the solution to three puzzles. Everyone I knew had a copy (it was bundled with a LOT of new PCs) and had noodled around it and never beaten it, but you can solve it in 5 minutes knowing only 3 things

when i die in system shock it's not because I'm bad at it. it's because unlike you motherfuckers, I actually support women and wish only to see SHODAN achieve her dreams.

A genuinely great remake, and it highlights that the original System Shock isn't really an immersive sim. SS2 is for sure, but the first? Survival Horror. Set it to max difficulty (aside from Mission - drop one notch to remove a VERY tight time limit) and tell me it isn't Resident Evil In Space.

System Shock remake received a new update on Steam, with a similar patch coming soon to GOG and Epic Games, and a larger update for PC and consoles in November. System Shock is also 65% off on Steam from now until September 27! 📜 Patch Notes: nightdivestudios.com/system-shock...

1/ A quick note on this framing 👇 When people say “gender critical” vs “trans activist” it might sound balanced – but the language itself is doing heavy lifting, and not in a neutral way. 🧵

wasabi take: i dont like live performance (of any genre) where the performers just perform in like sweatpants/loose shirts. glam it up! wear your sunday best!

Is toch verbluffend dat de officiële positie van de VVD nu is dat je antisemitisme te vuur en te zwaard moet bestrijden, behalve als het om neonazi’s gaat, dat moet je niet ‘politiseren’.

Als je er de financiële ruimte voor hebt, doneer dan aan GroenLinks-PvdA, de Partij voor de Dieren, de SP, Volt of D66. Doneer aan partijen die níet fascistisch of fascistenhielenlikkers zijn.

GroenLinks-PvdA en SP met een plan om dakloosheid terug te dringen. Terwijl radicaalrechts loopt te tieren over antifa en nazivlaggen bagatelliseert, doet links zowaar iets om kwetsbare mensen te helpen. Blijf dat ook vooral zeggen en delen.

Hoe laat is het? SOLIDARITIJD! Honderden mensen in Amsterdam. Tégen haat. Tégen fascisme. Vóór solidariteit. Bedankt aan iedereen die er was! #DeStraatOp @debeweging.bsky.social

In Den Haag doen rellende nazi's de hitlergroet terwijl ze geweld plegen. In Amsterdam liep een vreedzame stoet voor solidariteit. De PVV, FvD, BBB, @vvdonline.bsky.social , SGP en @juisteantwoord.bsky.social vinden één van deze groepen terroristen.

my unpopular opinion is that dvds/bds is overrated you should work on running a plex server for your friends instead
