lmao, kristi noem wanted a black bloc fight and got an inflatable rave instead. fuck you DHS, rip city forever.

This is amazing; I very much agree with the how the report calculated value to society here:

But for people excited about a *literal* profit machine, note that the real net fiscal cost was almost €72M. It made €146M due to the estimated value of gains in mental wellbeing.

Around Mount Hood today, near war-torn Portland.

If BioWare gets added to the pile of Origin, Westwood, Bullfrog, Maxis, and Pandemic, it will really help cement that EAs most meaningful legacy might be shutting down some of the greatest and most foundationally important teams in game development history. That's like killing the Avengers.

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

Fortunately there's only 3 more years of rapidly escalating fascism before there's a peaceful exchange of power

Home made chilaquiles with tomatillos from my garden, grown in the failed collapsing communist hellhole that is Portland, please save me

I made some chilaquiles from the tomatillos in my yard and took my dog on a 2.5 mile walk in beautiful weather. So glad the government is sending in the troops to protect me from heaven on earth.

This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

no spoilers but I'm genuinely astonished at the level of prescience about sexism that the game seems to be displaying, I want to be like 'this is a silent hill for the girls' but maybe guys should play this shit just for the empathy experience or something.

I don't say this to undersell the extremely talented and amazing people who have worked at PM's studios. I'm just baffled by the failure of that much money and talent to result in so many cancelled projects. Something is clearly wrong.

It's hard to look at the amount of money that has gone into ProbablyMonsters across all its teams and not see it as anything other than a money laundering / tax evasion scheme. I don't understand how you can blow hundreds of millions of dollars on multiple projects that never release.

I've said this before, but I feel pretty strongly that the building of concentration camps - and now, the inevitable disappearance of 1,800 people from those camps - is the biggest story in American public health right now that isn't being treated like one

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

The smart move would be to shift it to Vancouver, or even Montreal. I just can’t imagine any foreign studios risking this, especially with what seems like no traditional sessions or a severely cut back learning track.

Considering CBP has denied entry and even held foreigners who were doing any sort of semblance of work, and a conference is certainly work adjacent, I wondered how GDC would react to the moment. Certainly didn’t expect this.

You know the boycott is working when they drop a trailer for a new Star Wars movie
