The amount of Western people you can find telling Iranians to not feel any possible emotion they might be having right now, yes they can be devastated, happy, angry, sad, furious, terrified - they have a right to all these and more: their oppressor seems murdered by the hands of their oppressors.

Useful new retort for fans to keep in their back pocket. I feel like it can be adapted for many similar cases.

Once more I find myself LFW. So if you (or anyone you know) have a cool #gamedev project that could use the tender skills of someone such as myself, do please reach out.

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.

2 panel meme. In the top panel is a scene from Star Trek the Next Generation, with the caption "the prime directive forbids us from interfering. We cannot share our technology."

In the bottom panel is a scene from Stargate, with the caption "all your gods are false. Here, take these guns"

To those about to GDC, here are some tips from a conference veteran:

- Hollowpoint bullets. 2 to the head. One to the heart. Burn the body

- Do not eat anything containing Umlauts. Γ„, Ü, Ø etc. don't touch it

- if you meet someone claiming to be from EA just run. EA is mostly cannibals these days

You do not want the guy who makes cars that lock you inside when they’re on fire in charge of the Kessler Syndrome odds. You just don’t.

β€œThe guy obsessed with us leaving the planet ironically was such a dipshit he made sure we could never leave the planet” is heavy handed but tonally appropriate.

the immediate impact is one thing, but this is one of those weeks in the industry that's gonna ripple out over years, in ways we'll only learn about through reporting.

so i guess i'm saying, now is a great time to support and read the work those reporters are doing, so they can chase it.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

Accidentally wrote "frog of war" when I meant to say "fog of war" and I think I just came up with a really cool game idea.

They talk and act exactly like Nazis in pursuit of the exact same objectives as Nazis using the exact same tactics and rationales as Nazis but it would be wrong to call them Nazis until they grow the little mustache.

Sweden deports eight month old baby to Iran without his parents, national public radio reports. The ruling is a consequence of the harsh immigration laws initiated by the success of the nazi-originated party that is now crucial to the government’s mandate, but most parties are behind these laws.

Norwegian diplomat steps down over Epstein ties, in widening scandal Norway's foreign ministry said Mona Juul would step down due to a "serious failure of judgement".

But wrapped up into all this is also Mona Juul and her husband Terje RΓΈd-Larsen who both had key roles in the Oslo Accords.

With frequent hangouts between them, Jagland, Epstein & Bannon.

Including more Norwegian ex-politicians in international roles under scrutiny.

Unless I've missed something he doesn't have any form of immunity in Norway. CoE waived full diplomatic immunity in general (but not for actions done in the capacity of being the SG), at the request of Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (after Norway's financial crime Police requested them to).

..to consider agreeing to that, unless we're specifically soliciting input.

That said, in the case of the Anran character (which I think is what she's referencing), it's more the case of the voice actor agreeing with the fanbase voicing their opinions, which seems less like actual demands to me.
