Wonder if I'd rather have empty corporate Pride than nothing, because at least the former means they have to at least pretend to care.

I feel like I should impulse purchase the $200 backlog of Fortnite cosmetics I want as a misguided form of retail therapy [Epic CEO Tim Sweeney teleports into my room holding a credit card reader with a faded Libertarian Party sticker on it] actually nevermind

The FGC should be up in arms about Saudi investment taking over what was once one of the largest grassroots tournaments, but the faces of the community were so desperate to make a living pressing buttons good that it sold itself out in the process.

It is driving me insane that the end of this trailer outright ends with the intro to Gotta Get A Gift For Splinter

I cannot stress enough how crucial it is that we decouple our industries from the US Political Climate.

Bruno Mars collaborations are always the funniest thing, like the artist had a vision and that vision absolutely required BM to drop in for 10 seconds to sing about "turning this APT into a club" and "talkin' drink, dance, smoke, freak, party all night (Come on)"

this business model should be flatly illegal

taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome

ban it completely

I have a question for you. Why did you put the X and Y Buttons on the Super NES control pad instead of C and D or something else? Kyle Milner Warren, TX We went out and got the straight scoop, Kyle. According to Lance Barr, Product Designer for Nintendo of America, the letters X and Y on the Super NES Controller were used to correspond with terms commonly used in CAD design and engineering. On the Controller, the A and B Buttons are considered the "primary" buttons while X and Y can be considered "secondary" Buttons. This is the reason why the X and Y Buttons are a different color and are shaped differently. Even though the Buttons could have been labeled C and D or something else and the fact remains that CAD design and video games don't necessarily go hand-in- hand, the X and Y designation seemed the most fitting

Ever wondered why it's ABXY and not ABCD on SNES controllers? And I presume on any other controller too that inherited this design choice?

One young reader of Nintendo Power in 1993 wrote in to ask.

What a CAD...

Panel 1 A white woman with a white tank top and pink hair leans into frame, her elbow over the lower panel border, waving to the reader. LUCY: Hi. I’m Lucy. That’s not my real name, and this isn’t what I look like. But that’s fine, because while this is my story… LUCY: It’s one that thousands of other trans people have lived through, at least a little bit. It’s our story too. Panel 2 A map of the United States. States colored in red are those with anti-trans laws on the books. Those states are: New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. LUCY: I’m here to tell you how nightmarish Project 2025 will be for trans lives. Before we get to the main event, let me set the stage. LUCY: I’ve been out and medically transitioning as a trans woman for several years. It costs me thousands of dollars in medical expenses each year. LUCY: Also had to flee my home state due to bigoted laws, and faced discrimination everywhere from my own family to my job. Panel 3 Lucy holds up up a giant textbook-sized printed copy of Project 2025. Her expression is one of outrage. LUCY: It’s pretty bad. And if Trump gets reelected and Project 2025 is brought into action, it’s only going to get much worse. LUCY: “Transgender,” “Gender Identity” and “Biological Sex” are used over thirty times in this Phone Book of Hate, so I’m going to keep it simple. LUCY: Three policies. Just three. That’s all they need. Panel 4 Lucy sits at a computer, typing away. She looks over her shoulder at the reader. LUCY: Let’s start at the top. Page five. “Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology.” LUCY: Any trans person’s story would be labeled as pornography. Our lives. Our experiences. Every part of us. LUCY: Immediately f…

Panel 1 Lucy sits on a cot in a prison, hugging herself in despair. LUCY: That means that any trans person talking about their transition could be imprisoned. Every statement about our lives, a potential offense. LUCY: Hell, the story you’re reading right now would qualify. Panel 2 Lucy stands behind a counter with a cash register in front of her, ready to scan a bag of chips on the conveyer belt. She looks annoyed and exhausted. LUCY: Next. “Rescind regulations prohibiting discrimination on the basis of […] gender identity, transgender status, and sex characteristics.” Page 584. LUCY: Paired with page 495, “a general statement of policy specifying that it will not enforce any prohibition on […] gender identity discrimination” it paints a picture. LUCY: Discrimination towards trans people at places like their jobs will be fully legal, leaving us open to unmitigated harassment and hate. Panel 3 Lucy is curled up in a ball, looking small, looking like she’s just finished crying her eyes out and is just empty. LUCY: Page 485. “Withdraw all guidance encouraging Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program service providers to provide controversial “gender transition” procedures or “gender-affirming care”. LUCY: Page 462. “Fund studies into the short-term and long-term negative effects of crosssex interventions, including “affirmation,” puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries.” LUCY: Page…take your pick. There’s a dozen more. Panel 4 Lucy, still running on empty, holds a vial of Estradiol in her fingers and stares at it. It’s nearly empty. LUCY: By cutting federal funding from any medical facility that offers trans healthcare, and standing against it as official policy… LUCY: Hormones and gender care will become almost impossible to find. For those of us who are already on them, it’ll wreak havoc. LUCY: Our mental health. Our bodies. Damage that will ruin lives. And for trans folks who can no longer produce a safe level of hormones… Panel 5 Lucy …

I know we on the project volunteered to keep our identities off the individual stories but it's been a year and also things have only gotten worse so let me tell you

Writing this comic last year and having every single god damn thing come to pass at this point is just

Fuck, man. I'm so tired.
