Not terrible as much as a very narrow target audience.

Nor does league though TFT I'd wholeheartedly recommend. VAL is a game that you have to like to like it.

It got cut off my list because like destiny I thought it had content gated expansions but I could be wrong as it's been half a decade since I played.

There’s so many. Confining to just “no gameplay is purchase locked”:
Fortnite (obv biased), Rocket League (same), Fall Guys (ditto), @puzzmo.com, Once Upon a Galaxy, DotA2, and Path of Exile just off the top of my head.

Trump says undocumented immigrants do farm work "naturally" because "they don't get a bad back."

Mississippi's Declaration of Secession similarly said slavery must be protected because "by an impervious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun."

What’s funny about this to me is that the USA could have become the hub of accessible and affordable compute but instead it’s chasing a spellchecker that’s wrong 40% of the time.

when people call it the "AI bubble" this is what they mean

Today, IGN Entertainment announced that it would be laying off eight members of the IGN Creators Guild. This is 12% of our bargaining unit, and comes just days after our sister union, the Ziff Davis Creators Guild, underwent similar layoffs impacting 15% of their members. It also comes just months after our multibillion-dollar parent company, Ziff Davis, instituted a company-wide buyout that shrunk our unit numbers, with the express intent of avoiding future layoffs. And it comes just a little over one year after three of our members were laid off almost immediately after our union went public. The company has told us that the reason for this layoff stems from a Ziff Davis-mandate to cut costs despite several quarters in a row of year-over-year revenue increases, to which IGN Entertainment responded by coming for our members' jobs. This is perplexing to us, as we are told again and again that IGN Entertainment has had a tremendously successful year thus far thanks to their hard work. In just the last few months, our members have been absolutely essential to major events and livestreams, including San Diego ComicCon, Summer of Gaming, and IGN Live. Every single person impacted today was involved in and critical to the success of those events. Meanwhile, IGN Entertainment continues to spend money on costly acquisitions, only to turn around and gut those companies in the same way it is cutting away at IGN itself. For instance, last year, it acquired Gamer Network, and almost immediately laid off a number of staff critical to making those sites successful. The company has not responded to the union's questions about whether its budget for future acquisitions is being reconsidered as a cost-saving measure alongside these other apparently necessary personnel cuts. At a time when it is more necessary than ever to support its creators, IGN Entertainment is choosing to eliminate the individuals who ensure IGN remains competitive as generative AI

threatens our reach. We have been told that expert opinion pieces, original interviews, and work that leverages our staff's deep knowledge of gaming, tech, and entertainment are all essential to combating AI summarization and regurgitation of our work. Management has responded by cutting several individuals who do that exact work, as well as others whose job it is to ensure that these written and video pieces are published in a speedy manner — another component of combating AI we're told is critical. This continued cycle of repeated, aggressive cuts to our staff and being asked to do more with less, only for management to continue to spend on new business it isn't interested in sustaining cannot continue. We will enforce our interim agreement that guarantees better severance and other protections to laid off members, as well as demand additional support for those impacted. We will continue to bargain over our first contract with the aim of enshrining even better protections against further layoffs, working conditions continuously degraded by understaffing, and the encroachment of generative AI. And we won't stop fighting to ensure IGN remains the best destination for trustworthy, original, exciting, and creative work covering video games, entertainment, and tech. While IGN Entertainment management may not value us, we value one another and the incredible work we can do together. Behind the articles, videos, social posts, playlists, and maps of IGN are human beings, not just numbers on a spreadsheet to be pushed around when some number at the top isn't big enough. Without us, there is no IGN.

Today, IGN laid off eight extremely valuable members of our union and workforce via directive from our parent company, Ziff Davis. This, after two incredibly successful live events IGN Live and SDCC, and yet another corporate acquisition.

I'm glad we as a society have moved past correcting other people's grammer

Yeah! Just follow the oats recipe and sub out a 1/4th of the water for cream (if you like it that way) and then add berries/fruit and some spice and a pinch of salt. If you have a moisture sensing cooker, the warm after function keeps it good for a while.

this is incredible

New consulting firm idea! Paging @hazelmonforton.com

I got a rice cooker for 20$ on a ridiculous open box sale and it’s incredible. Rice with all meals, oats every morning.

The bengal grill at Disneyland has breakfast now!!

First they came for the consultants, and we said: Do the CEOs next

This just makes me miss Charlie. Dude was great to talk to.

when these companies try to claim this is about what’s legal or not, they’re lying. none of the games that were removed from steam or itch broke the law. financial companies are making subjective decisions based on what might inconvenience them

That sounds how my migraines feel

Police Roll Out Expansion Plans for Surveillance Cameras - PubliCola By Erica C. Barnett Just weeks after rolling out live camera surveillance in the Chinatown/International District, downtown, and along Aurora…

Police Roll Out Expansion Plans for Surveillance Cameras

Live police surveillance, already deployed in three neighborhoods, would expand to include three more areas, including Capitol Hill and around Garfield High School.

A person with long brown hair and glasses speaks while facing slightly to the side. Overlaid text reads: "Sarah McBride’s First Successful Bill Is a Private Equity Law Co-Sponsored by an Anti-Trans Republican – by Samantha Riedel." The image is from "them" media. Below, a caption notes that Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, the first out transgender person elected to U.S. Congress, passed her first bill: a proposal to expand access to private equity investments.

Sarah McBride's first bill is a handout to billionaires running private equity funds who want to fleece retail investors.

Sucking up to private equity billionaires won't save you.

I have no eyelids but I must blink

how do they feel about catboys/catgirls/catheys?
