"They hate us for our freedoms"

Actually they're mad about just one of them. And frankly, I agree with them.

i predict this site will be 20-30% less insane this time next week due to the release of the poketopia game and slay the spire 2. just gotta ride it out a few more days

“Bluesky has awful pathologies” and the pathologies the people in question are always talking about is literally just that they find certain groups of people annoying. Which is a thing on EVERY WEBSITE. You are on the internet

Quite literally, until you have 10 reviews Steam doesn't surface you at all.

Those first 10 reviews change everything. If you see a game with less than 10 reviews, you are being shown a life you can dramatically improve.

Buddy looks like a puppy, would never have guessed he's 15.

New York’s hottest club has *everything*: falcons, mere anarchy, cries of innocence, slow thighs, lion bodies, man heads, gazes as blank and pitiless as the sun..

That's true casus belli

I am already seeing "it's a distraction!" takes and please fucking kill me

other people can make inroads and find common ground with regretful trump voters, in my personal capacity as a private citizen i am committed to hating those dumb motherfuckers for the rest of my life

That sounds like a skill issue, tbh. If that guy had ever seriously engaged with the ideas he was reading (or any ideas from a normal human being, really), he might have known that this is a scathing self-indictment.

If you're tempted to call this "Bay of Pigs, but stupid" I need you to understand that the first Bay of Pigs was already incredibly stupid

Anno is joking. He's buds with both Miyazaki and Tomino (Gundam) and knows that they didn't even really breakout until their late 30s/40s.

Anno himself was 35 when NGE came out.

Despite what you may have heard, Japanese people can be funny and sarcastic on purpose.

Just got an email letting me know I’ll be laid off on Friday—my second time in 15 months. So here’s my regular reminder that I’m available for freelance video-game consulting, mock reviews, public relations, comms writing, feature writing, and so on.

It's literally the "we are still doing it but now we would like you to be less mad about it." post. After 3 backdowns that didn't even back down they pull out another BIG puppy eyed SUPER sorry backdown that ALSO doesn't back down.

No. You've fuckied your last wucky, UwU.

Yeah, maybe this time Lucy won't pull the football away & you won't fall on your ass like a bitch. Kick away, Charlie Brown.

Big ditto here.

Saying "Indies are the future, AAA doesn't matter" doesn't acknowledge the many ways indie can also be unsustainable/exploitative--and it doesn't respect the craft of AAA devs! So many cool people making incredibly cool things that couldn't exist otherwise!!
Solidarity is important.

Irish wolfhound & Shiba Inu puppy standing in front of the camera

Irish wolfhound laying on a chair looking wistfully at her father just out of frame

Irish wolfhound laying on a blue chair with her head rested on one of the armrests looking wistfully into the camera

Irish wolfhound laying on a couch. She has wormed her way under a woman's leg to get more space

My parents have an Irish Wolfhound pup whose favorite activity is sitting on a chair/couch or staring at you until you make enough space for her to sit down

if I didn't know better, I'd say having huge swathes of the industry purchased by robber barons with no investment in the future of said industry who are perfectly willing to run it into the ground like they did every under industry might kinda be like selling your house to termites

'Oh yeah don't worry, we're ONLY throwing sex workers, adult artists/authors, kinksters, the moderately risque, and anyone who has ever been horny under the bus!'
They just keep restating the same fucking point and acting like it's changed.

It's a good thing he's really eloquent & never sundowns racistly in front of the cameras for like 90 minutes longer than his scheduled remarks. Could you imagine?

Shiba Inu puppy sleeping on a man's chest with one paw stretched out to his shoulder. The man is also asleep, which he did not plan on doing but apparently Shibas induce catnaps when they sleep on your chest.

Apparently she has soporific powers

Governor and mayor have completely abandoned us to do this on our own. They are nowhere to be found in the most thorough way I can imagine and any value they try to claim for what the rest of us have done is stolen. Mutual aid is so beautiful and it exposes so many failures and abandonments. 4/?

Nighttime cuddles

as far as i can tell “bio hacking” is just a goofy term for giving yourself some combination of an eating disorder and a drug addiction

Americans love to talk about gumption, but when it comes to action we just can't overcome our love for the taste of shoe leather.

Decline in remote jobs risks shutting disabled people out of work, study finds Research project warns fall in homeworking roles could undermine efforts to reduce unemployment

Many disabled and chronically ill people are demonized for not working full-time jobs, when the truth is they can be forced out due to inaccessible policies. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Maybe like two years ago, when this shit started picking up, I went on a date with a woman who was an architect, and she started talking about how people wanted AI to replace most of her industry, and we both just got so depressed we stopped making conversation and never went out again

The Great Cities series by N.K. Jemisin also has strong worldbuilding, & the Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett is good if you like some whodunit in your fantasy.
