if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

I got an email saying that they cannot review email submissions, and only receive customer support questions through this form: dis.gd/contact

I would try submitting a complaint through there.

is the c-stick not an analogue stick? i remember them being decently precise when playing Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 as a kid

Remember, sneering works. It’s working now. That’s why the lowliest AI fan and the CEO of Microsoft are trying to get us to stop saying “slop.”

AI art is supposed to be its flashy flagship and treating it as disposable rubbish (which it is) ruins everything

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

HP Lovecraft being a racist might be the second most famous thing about him, after "he created Cthulhu"

We're likely not going to have a place in two weeks and we would need like $2000 to stay at a nearby long-stay hotel for a month. Please help us

We have enough evidence for UBI in general that this policy should be a given. But the difference is, to understand UBI works is to believe that people are fundamentally good. And a big chunk of society is built around the belief, *must maintain the belief* that people are fundamentally bad.

It is remarkable that all Bluesky had to do was not Do Things That Spectacularly Suck and somehow they're fucking that one up in such an attention-grabbing fashion that you'd almost wonder if they're trying to intentionally tank the place

Ever heard of the Washington Generals? The Harlem Globetrotters' rivals. They're paid to lose, because they're owned by the same people, and they abide by standard rules and will never interfere with Globetrotters' antics. They've lost 16,000 games.

Anyway, hope Chuck Schumer's having a good day.

A Democratic Party that reflected the values of its base would put this into its national platform: "Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans."

Donald Trump wants to distract you from what ICE is doing so badly that he permitted the release of millions of pages of Epstein files.

If that doesn't work, he'll go to war with Iran.

The Democrats are negotiating milquetoast "restrictions" on ICE.

But only grassroots resistance will save us.

This is the way.

Choice quote from GDC's state of the industry report:

This is how I found out too

Y’all helped me get a payment in this morning!! I cannot thank you enough, but I recently found where I can email PayPal donations, so I sure as heck plan to thank everyone personally!

Still not fully out of the woods, but I’m not getting tossed on my ear this week, so we’ll call it a win. ❤️

Mayor Mamdani consistently and regularly demonstrates that your mayor, your politicians, could be doing this at any point and they just don't because they don't care, and that's exactly why the establishment was panicked and aggressively tried to make sure he lost. They didn't want you to see this.

do you accept

This is what Rebecca has been up to all this time

@GuntherEagleman on Twitter says, "BREAKING: The "No-Go-Zone" in Minneapolis is getting fully stocked like a pop-up leftist supply depot, free hand warmers, winter gear, coffee, food, milk, you name it. This is PROFESSIONAL-grade logistics. Someone is BANKROLLING this autonomous zone.

Did you miss out on your last opportunity to bankroll the fully stocked pop-up leftist supply depot?? Do you want to send free hand warmers, winter gear, first aid supplies, YOU NAME IT, to the Twin Cities?

This is your moment. Let's ride.

As someone who has been in negotiations with Schumer: YOUR CALLS TO HIS OFFICE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER NOW. You are not wasting your time, our goal is achievable, but Schumer requires constant pressure, constant pressure....

DHS funding bill faces new Senate hurdles after another person killed in Minneapolis Some Democrats who voted for recent funding bills said they'll vote against any DHS bill without restrictions on enforcement operations. The deadline to avert a shutdown is Friday.

Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

Exterior of The National WWII Museum in New Orleans. White building against blue sky.

Part of an exhibit titled “Degenerate! Hitler’s War On Modern Art.” Foreground has text info sign, background shows signed photos and prints.

Closeup of text on an information sign. Text excerpt reads “Hitler's campaign against "degenerate art" reveals how culture can be shaped-and suppressed-by those in power. This dark chapter in history, when the arts were mobilized as Nazi propaganda, shows how quickly fear can erode the space for expression, experimentation, and dissent. At the same time, it testifies to the resilience of creativity and to the enduring importance of protecting a diverse and uncensored cultural landscape-freedoms that were central to World War Il and remain vital today.”

Sobering and sadly relevant.

Hitler’s campaign against Degenerate Art “testifies to the resilience of creativity and to the enduring importance of protecting a diverse and uncensored cultural landscape.”

This is genuinely, actually disgusting. I quit Spotify years ago over the Joe Rogan shit but this really should be the last straw if you’re still using it. Apple Music, and Tidal both pay more per stream than Spotify and offer comparable catalogs.
