He blocked me for that. Wild.

A radlib who's blocked every lgbtq person and black person on the internet: why is the left only white men?

He blocked me. I guess he's more comfortable in an echo chamber.

Or that you're the only leftist - or that you're always a white man, or that you're not a real trans person, or that you're not really gay, or that - well, it's weird, they're very certain but they're almost always extremely wrong.

You can't really talk to them because they're not having a conversation, they're jerking off.

A centrist attempting to explain the left to leftists is always such a surreal event because they are absolutely certain - so certain that they will casually discard anything any leftist says no matter who they are or how experienced before saying stuff they just made up.

Each person who does it thinks they're especially clever but it's actually so consistent that we can pretty much pick it out immediately. The fascinating combo of whitewashing leftist movements and transmisogynoir is remarkably consistent.

Me and my daughter Kinda are sitting on the rubble of our destroyed home, with nothing to eat💔

We are still struggling to find food for our family

YouTube video by Writing on Games How Does Metal Gear Solid's Codec Actually Work?

NEW VIDEO! In which I consider, as the games explain them, the rules of one of Metal Gear Solid's foundational storytelling tools—the codec. The resulting thought experiment goes some places, exploring how we think about games relative to other art, because of course it does.

Hope you enjoy it!

Reflections on a Mirror’s Edge When Mirror’s Edge made its debut for the console in 2009, I had recently finished playing Portal, which I’d been a little late to the party on and my opinions on the recent release wer…

From The Vault: Less is more; @nullconvention.bsky.social writes about how discipline and purpose in design leads to something more singular and worthwhile. Mirror's Edge: Catalyst responded to a lot of criticisms the original Mirror's Edge received. But was it better?

Itch.io starts reindexing free NSFW content Discussions with payment processors ongoing will dictate when paid adult content can return.

Following backlash from consumers, Itch has started re-indexing at least free adult games — and looking for other payment processors to being allowing developers to sell NSFW games on its platform again.

Even Stripe says it hasn't entirely closed the door.

Great work, folks.
