Disabilities for a lot of us are those things that could never happen to us. Until it does.

April of 2017 I had a TBI. It's July of 2025, and I still am fighting to get competent treatment. Disability can happen to any of us at any time. If you love games, support this.

You may need it.

Let's talk for a moment about violence against Latinos, and how it's socially acceptable.

First off, context. This is paramilitary guy is on of the immigration agents that raided and terrorized Elian Gonzalez.

It may be a surprise, but Latinos are human. Brown bodies are not the punchline.

I'm looking at it from the development framework. Basic knowledge has been lost, and it's been slowly contributing to the shittification of games.

Most of our bigger games are all just Madden rehashes. They update yearly with a slightly different roster, minimal innovation.

Yes, dark ages.

The dark ages were a time when "civilized society" lost knowledge that previous societies had, was typified by boundless fears caused by conservativism.

Now in games, how many studios are using AWS because they simply don't have the knowledge to deploy their own servers? Most.

And as we sit in the middle of a dark ages in games, it's likely worth really exploring our history.

And there's still nothing to show, and no one has any clue how to even coherently define it.

Yet hey, people still get funding for it. ๐Ÿคฃ

What's the best thing to do after posting up on an all nighter?

Make brioche.

@ricklane.bsky.social you do realize that giving Connor ink over his diva-itis is only going to embolden him, right?

There's a reason he can't find a publisher, dude is making himself untouchable.

I can't tell if this guy is an idiot, or just trolling.

The Shitgibbon in Chief petulantly demanded it. US Army said, "Ja woll!"

What's the mystery here, Addie?

"Hey guys, company towns were great, fuck the workers."

Bro, why? Are you just wholly ignorant of the history of rampant abuses from those systems? Or, you are, and you're a bell end that thinks it's good?

Show me a smart exec at one of these large companies. None of them have earned their way up, so they haven't a clue about what a game is. They're pogues with purse strings.

They did that to my wife. It's Thursday and haven't even deigned to offer the respect of an explanation.

It's preemptive compliance cowardice. They seem happy as an org to performatively celebrate these people, but will cast them off at even the hint of future discomfort due to association.
