Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

The long and the short of it is:
-gamers donโ€™t know what they want
-content creators have positioned themselves as the โ€œvoice of the gamerโ€
-itโ€™s established that negative content consistently drives engagement
-โ€œeverything sucksโ€ has become the prevailing attitude cultivated by these personalities

We need unions right fucking now, this shit has got to stop. If I read one more story about a studio laying everyone off right after launch when they don't hit peak Fortnight numbers I'm going to lose it.

Interview: Romeo is a Dead Man is Suda51's Next Wild Knockout of an Action Game | MMORPG.com We spoke with game creator Suda51 about the making of their next game, and how Rick and Morty helped inspire it.

Just ahead of the release of Romeo is a Dead Man this week, I got to have another interview with Suda51 about the game's development, and how Rick and Morty was a big influence. It was a good talk!

SF Teachers are on strike for the first time in 47 years โ€” and that's a good thing. This strike is not only about saving public education. It is about fighting back against billionaire domination.

This, and more, from an SF teacher on strike.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Watch 404 Mediaโ€™s Super Bowl Ad WE BOUGHT A SUPER BOWL AD.

404 Media just had an ad during the #SuperBowl! We Googled "smallest TV markets in the United States" and bought an ad for $2,550 that only ran in Ottumwa, Iowa, population 25,000. That still counts

Yeah, like a lot of people, I watched the old shows and was really inspired to pursue this line of work. I got to actually meet him since we were both in the Bay Area and got to be friends for a bit, and it was OK for awhile. But yeah, THIS Adam, is not someone I want to be friends with.

Yeah, he's a full mask off Zionist these days. The dude blocked me on twitter not long after 2023. I was pretty friendly with him for a while, it was surprising and disappointing how quickly he threw that away. It's very sad.

In honor of the Andor trailer out today, I today repost my greatest online achievement: The Andor Characters as Dril Tweets series. I'm going to put them out as I get spare time over the next couple days, as I'm going to put alt text on them too. Starting with the man himself
