Ghislaine Maxwell is on track for work release after decades of trafficking poor and homeless minors while Trump simultaneously labels that same vulnerable population β€œdirty criminals”. This administration protects and rewards predators while punishing the people they prey upon

Trump vows to evict homeless from Washington, official says National Guard may be deployed Trump said he will give homeless people places to stay, "but far from the capital." The White House declined to explain what legal authority Trump would use to evict people from the District.

80%. of D.C. homeless people are Black. When 🍊 is sending troops to remove them tomorrow πŸ—£οΈHE’S ESSENTIALLY TARGETING BLACK PEOPLE.

The plan is to remove them β€œfar from the capitol” into isolated land. It’s giving concentration camp/alligator Alcatraz

How Americans were and are feeling: in practically every year of my life I have to hear some excuse-monger repeating 20th-century propaganda about how dropping atomic bombs saved tons of Japanese civilian lives compared to a counterfactual, because all the Japanese were fanatical Emperor worshippers

Best reference to another game inside an unrelated game? Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean had a section of a dungeon that was just the Tower of Druaga arcade game. Then, there's the multiple appearances of the Bacura enemy from Namco's Xevi...

yea, i'm convinced they're xeviousposting here! turns out the enemy in question is named Bacura, it's true that they work like that in the original game, and they showed up as an easter egg in a few other games with the same properties

In Super Paper Mario, Tippi claims the Hedron obstacles in Chapter 4-3 are indestructible. However, there is an Easter egg whereby shooting them 256 times (regardless of Mario's actual attack stat) destroys them and awards 256 points.

i'm glad i haven't been wasting my time with linkedin lately. even as someone looking for a game industry job it offers nothing over other job sites. the posting is smoke and mirrors, only milquetoast neoliberal statements and "if you don't do X Y Z you're not gonna make it"

Hey look, it’s our long-overdue punishment for referring to simple state machines that compile into a kilobyte of code as β€œartificial intelligence”

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"

people think the entity that speaks to the player upon starting chapter 1 and speaks after a game over in certain circumstances is gaster. which ofc, we don't know that, but there's a ton of things that line up. entry 17 is also referenced here and there

It was one of my first opportunities to see what indie games were like. Games like Undertale opened up a world of possibilities for me.

I'm going to outline for you exactly how the christofacists win, because it's an obnoxiously simple strategy but a reliably powerful one.

You know that post that's like "I don't trust y'all to eat the rich because you'll just target a bunch of doctors and actors and forget about the people who do the real damage?" That's our communal Achilles Heel.

Here's the play: Collective Shout organizes a bunch of phone calls to payment processors demanding the elimination of NSFW/LGBT/ETC content. Payment processors go "oh, that's a lot of phone calls, we should do something" and then tell Steam and Itch to comply with those demands or be cut off from being able to do business. Then Steam and Itch have to make a decision between cutting off an arm and clamping down, or take a stand and shoot themselves in the head, functionally nuking their entire platform which, especially for Steam, have exponentially farther reaching ramifications.

Then our community gets mad at *them* and start calling them cowards and boot lickers and profess never to support them again. And like, yeah I get that getting mad at Itch is easy when you've got nothing to lose, but what the fuck with "I'll only support you, the comparatively small business with no real power as long as you can singlehandedly and successfully fight off the international might of the owners of theocratic capitalism with no further action from me?" like do people really not see the distance between creators and Itch (that's like, what? 30 people?) vs fucking Mastercard??

When the Goblin has Spider-man under his glider, we start throwing shit at him, we don't go "Damn, Spider-man, you said you'd save us. I guess you suck. Fuck you."

So if you want to be more than a useful, reactionary pawn, I'm linking to a bunch of posts where smarter people than I are sharing payment processors phone numbers, scripts on how to talk to them, and other resources. If you do not pick up your phone and make that call you have *no* right to be mad at a company that has historically been pretty good about their support for creators and are likely trying to figure out how to weather this storm in real time.
