I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on.
A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture.

Yaaay!!
i said this to my colleagues in a wiseass way, but I'm a little offended that most of the "editors" they claim to pinch from are actually writers and *not* editors?
i recently considered that i should just go myself but then i started mapping bike routes and then it turned from "this would be fun" to "i bet i could bike thousands of miles" so that got a bit out of control
how many books could i con you into bringing me before it just seemed weird
yeah i don't really think of "reading the scan" as... incidental here
I just want a graphics card, man

if it makes you feel better my twin sister, who was in the military and ran ironmans, joined an explicitly old lady soccer league and in the first game tore her acl just regular playing and couldn't walk for like six months, which definitely put a bit of the fear in me lol
ah no that's terrible!! i feel like my fear of hurting myself made me a bit hesitant & that came off as being a bit worse than I probably could have been, but it definitely seems safer than tackle rugby (a thing I am also going to go to an intro about *just to see* bc I 100% cannot play that sport)
you should do it! it was... fun, even if i kept screwing up and couldn't catch the ball to save my life and was definitely the worst one out there and now keep replaying all my screwups in my head
On the day multiple media organizations reported on a video showing a U.S. Tomahawk missile killing dozens of children in an Iranian elementary school, the White House's meme strategists posted a missile video soundtracked by Nelly's "Here Comes the Boom" wapo.st/3NhffGm
the only question in this whole thing I would know how to answer!
Accountants answer a question like normal people challenge: 2025 tax year edition

EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands. https://bit.ly/4ujAKXV
i had a teacher give me these in high school and only recently dug into what the whole deal around them was and it's kind of fascinating, what a time for New Age the 90s was
There’s no handbook or program for how to talk to a friend or family member who is falling into AI psychosis. So after many people contacted us clearly suffering from these delusions, we spoke to mental health experts. Here’s what they suggest: www.404media.co/ai-psychosis...
it didn't go wrong lol, i'm just... old
'If we love this work, we have to protect it:' Heart Machine workers secure voluntary union recognition
Update: ah no, ouch
no this is good advice, i did a lot of reaching and... did not at all catch the ball, and finally they just stopped passing it to me lmao
Today on GamesHub, a website with very real authors, Tanaka Haruto is promoting "upcoming" video game "Hollow Knight: Silksong" confirmed to released in Q3 2026.
"When Silksong lands, it won’t just dominate the 2026 discussion in Australia; it will be the center of the global gaming conversation."
There is zero reason for this show to exist and god help me I am going to watch every stupid episode because I simply cannot resist things about weird religions

How do you catch the ball i cannot catch the ball
i sat down for a bit and then stood up again and now i'm not sure lol
I was REALLY bad at it and I feel bad but they were…polite about it lol
You guys I played touch rugby and while I did humiliate myself by being unable to catch, I did not (yet) snap my knee in half, and a cis dude told me I was in really good shape for 44 so I’m gonna live on that for the rest of the week
because i am new to this sport i didn't know about this history til it happened and it was very exciting!
