ICE Activity Tracker - Community Safety Alert System Anonymous community-driven tool to report and track ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) activity. Help protect undocumented immigrants and their families by sharing real-time safety alerts.

Currently there is no ICE activity reported in the Bay Area but I would still recommend keeping a glance at this if you're traveling for GDC or Nvidia's GTC this month just in case. www.iceinmyarea.org

A talk shows that defined a generation of comedy and single handily launched Adult Swim/Williams Street was cobbled together by a collection of Atlanta’s weirdest sickos with stock footage from Ted Turner’s library.

We must return to the days of yore — our souls demand it.

Trying to write during my luteal phase is like playing Saw where I am both Jigsaw and the victim and I enjoy the suffering as the victim but not as Jigsaw.

welcome to the dark side, brother

Atreus looks like such a little dumpling (complimentary) and I am already stressed out knowing what I have to watch him go through

Well after the introduction of Prince Sidon I can answer for at least one of these groups

You know how Ms Pac-Man is distinguished from her husband entirely by the fact that she wears a bow on her head? I'm not saying that every cis person or even the median cis person has roughly that much sense of gender. But there are an astounding number who definitely do.

now this is how you do Resident Evil discourse

Want to get your nerdy kids outdoors for the summer? Send them to larp camp! Registration is open for Wayfinder, the wonderful roleplaying camp in upstate NY where I grew up (along with assorted future nerd celebrities) that made me who I am!

Please do not start factionizing the games industry. The regular in-the-trenches game developer shouldn't be punished or devalued for the sins of the leadership at the top.

I don't care if you're in AAA or a solo indie dev, we're all just trying to make a living doing what we love.

I hope AAA finds its way again and becomes a place devs can feel secure.

I hope AA and indie continues to flourish and pushes the bounds of creativity.

There's no place for "us vs them".

Someone's made a sinister red version of the Xbox branding, that's it, it's over.

drop the routine

Doing research for a talk and now I have to lay down

Also, respectfully, if you're worried about the state of industry ... buy indie games, at full price, on release. That matters more than the CEO musical chairs game.

Hey so this is terrifying actually

As a turn-based RPG sicko, between Dosa Divas and People of Note I am feeling very spoiled. Check out the demo!!!
