Which is why it's so funny to me that I acquired Mortal Kombat on PC from a church jumble sale when I was ~12ish. It was on THREE floppy disks, it was enormous.

Every friendly migrant who is willing to help others needs to be deported because that's the only way that the Right's rhetoric can possibly become true. Only a few million more to go, I guess :/

As an American, I can't even imagine how much this could elp creative folks 🥲 Even if you aren't able to get such funding yourself, just knowing that your country values what you do...

I have this problem but without any time or energy to work on the video games that I already know how to make because the video game industry pays peanuts compared to B2B startups and I do also want to own this house I live in.

I'm not even talking about the job security problems...

I don't think it's a terrible idea but I can't imagine a functional implementation that doesn't just move the problems to other places. Is the government going to be monitoring user placed signs in Minecraft servers?

It's also extremely unclear to me how this is enforced short of forcing companies to require extremely confirmed PII and forcing them to hold onto it. How do proxies work? Is it also going to mean a 13 year old from the US will be unable to use social media while visiting here?

Problems with social media seem far more closely related to the types of conduct we tolerate there than the age of the people. There seem to be plenty of 50-60s conservative men throwing abuse at women online and it's not clear to me why that behaviour is not receiving similar proscriptive attention

We've had a number of problems with under- or misinformed voters not understanding what they are voting for. Allowing younger people to vote while at the same time removing options for them to get and share opinions with their peers feels extremely likely to result in more problems and not fewer.

discord can't collapse into irrelevance because an empty server where i dump screenshots, notes, and pictures is somehow, in 2026, the best way of getting shit off my phone and onto the computer

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I had that

Immediately put that on my list for my wife's birthday

I find it difficult to trust a study released by a company benefiting from the study, especially when the study makes no mention (that I could find) of the fact that it's is normal policy for humans to intervene remotely.

It's not safe to allow the remote control or influence of vehicles.

Expect the fae to start getting actively involved because of these violations of guest friend traditions

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

I forgot I was on the Internet so I'll preemptively say this is sarcasm >.>

I'm sure that the rate of memory cards failing would be exactly the same as in other uses

One of my biggest problems with Starmer is that I have no idea what he actually wants. This is a problem Labour has had for a long time; their inability to select a leader with an agenda that matches public wishes who can explain why that agenda exists instead of pandering to niche demographics.

I once tweeted at Discord, telling them I didn't like their 😊 emote, and could they change it please. 100s of people RTed me, and 24 hours later, they altered it

If I could get them to change an emote with a single tweet, we can get them to stop this face recognition bullshit with an influx of msgs

Does seem like Starmer has squandered on of the best opportunities the left has had in the UK in a generation. Pretty much literally as well, my teenage daughter was not born when the Tories took power again.

It feels like an incredible take to suggest that the party you're an MP for can't have effective leadership without an unelected staffer connected to an international ring of celebrity/wealthy pedophiles deciding Labour's strategy and tactics.

A year ago people were talking about how universal free childcare was one of those wild-eyed impossibilities that made Mamdani a hopeless candidate and he got it done inside a month in office

Everything I do requires me to mortgage my future quality of life. Keeping that present in my mind is exhausting all on its own and almost impossible when the neurodivergent hyperfocus/hyperfixation kicks in.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

meme image from autistic flair showing simpsons cartoon packed car with ned flanders driving and home simpson in passenger seat, everyone in both families is angry side eyeing homer sitting there smiling and oblivious looking forward, text at top says autistic me blissfully unaware I've just broken an unwritten neurotypical rule.

when someone I've known for decades mentioned how brave I was to have done some things early in my career I clarified I sincerely couldn't tell I wasn't supposed to and didn't pick up on the risk I was taking

each day people in my generation are still figuring it out

True fans are excited as fuck when someone new gets into their fandom

yup

Do I know any South Asian game writers/narrative designers looking for a full-time contract?

Friends, when the history of this sordid period of America is written — assuming it’s not written by historians trying to curry favor with a future fascist regime — I hope the leaders of American business are condemned to the hellfire they deserve for helping destroy American democracy.

Considering how much Labour effort gets put into trying to "win" right wing issues to win the next election, they should do better on optics issues that are blatantly lurking around the corner. FPTP again making it impossible to vote for change without risking disaster.

STV PR needed very badly

But the leopard can't eat MY face!
