I've started a live blog of sorts for a playthrough of a famous game here is a series of events i described.

I think treating fandoms as if each one were some sort of specific, recognizable creed or a social group with defined members has done so much harm to how we engage with media. You do not get to claim influence over the outcome of someone else’s creative venture

idk, I think it's wrong though, a narrative isn't someone's career. The pressure manifests because everyone says they're under pressure, if they had those same standards for everyone they wouldn't be breaking people every 4 years. they decide to pressure someone when perfection is their goal post

imo olympic commentary in any of the broadcasts is usually kind of bad anyway. But the former should be what they say about everyone that's there and not this other thing that isn't as much about winning the medal as it is about putting people on a pedestal to gawk at

I think one striking thing about Alysa Liu's gold metal performance is how little nbc commentary people expected out of her. They put the bar at "she'll do tricks and have fun and might be enough for gold ~_^" and for others they're like "we expect perfection because that's what they have to be"

It's like if the titanic's captain and first mate resigned moments before hitting the iceberg and were replaced by the person whose job at the north pole is to make worse icebergs

"Phil Spencer is retiring"
Potentially good thing huh we'll see
"Also the woman that was going to replace him abruptly resigns"
Uhhhh.....
"And the lady whose job it is to replace people with robots suddenly the head of xbox"
Oh so Xbox is what got retired

Yeah having that on the horizon would be great. I wouldn't mind a follow up rerelease of the DS games at some point in the next few years. The Let's Go formula has it's place though and I'd like to see the second version of that too. I'd take another BDSP situation if it was a better game than D&P.

yeah, it's a faster play than LGPE imo. So good for like an afternoon or two of a kanto fix.

But you won't be able to finish the nat dex unless RSE come out and if i've heard correctly might need XD/colo too

"There is not going to be any NSO Colosseum compatibility you stupid slut."

It seems like it would be hard to miss a game people didn't stop pirating from the day it came out.

Here is hoping you can send things to bank, the wireless features work, and maybe get RSE to trade with in the future.

As someone who loved FRLG when they came out, and played an absurd amount of hours of those games, believe when i say they kinda suck.

To all the outlets that decided to run "I tried using the AI companion for a date on v-day" hey maybe just no. You don't need to write about that.

We don't need your journalists to be in a black mirror episode any more than we need them to stand in waist deep water as a hurricane makes landfall

each winter olympics i feel like they try to make me give a shit about curling

blue hair is hard to keep up with

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

If instagram is anything to is anything to go by then discord being aware of people's ages is just as dangerous as any random adult

Well, good thing we didn’t silo off a bunch of important game knowledge in individual discords instead of forums or wikis or gamefaqs for some reason

it doesn't matter to me what discord wants my info for or what it will use it for
it simply isn't allowed to have any of it

just like sam rami spiderman

wow this one is a toughy
1. looks like a dancing ferret
2. heart emote or another set of modern clothes
3. fancy raptor hands and hat
4. disco gear for the disco dance

Good night blusky, and remember as you close your eyes that Pokemon Red and Green are closer in time to the release of Pong than they are to present day.

If school is open tomorrow then a general strike is not happening.

the sad part about these baby youtuber thumbnails is that they veer dangerously close to actual kid influencer thumbnails

While one children's healthcare provider has stuck to it's guns and prevented the federal government from taking its records. Another one has halted providing care. With some anti-trans superintendent candidates this might be the year we go backwards.

I really hope your family is doing as well as can be expected right now

Nintendo keeps sending me surveys for games, if they want my advice they gotta start paying me.
I was willing to do it for the snoopy game because those are scrappy indie devs with a lot of heart. mario galaxy doesn't need my help, and mario can go fuck himself until he gives me money

I visited a Real Life Pokemon City in Japan!

(reskeets appreciated the YT algo has been messed up for a bit)

A difficulty rating that doesn't represent what most players understand as difficult, a queuing system that's only the most popular strike missions and for some insane reason OLC, and also no role selection.

Some good ideas, alongside some deeply weird and probably not good ones. Hope it works
