Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

I am not proud to be an American. I have never, generally, felt patriotic. But I have a deep love for the cities here that have made me who I am and that can't be divorced from the country itself.

For me, to know America is to hate it and to love America is to refuse to leave it.

Christmas? In this economy?!

Hello, @pewpewbang.bsky.social won best game podcast at the Astra Podcast Awards tonight!

The usual Nintendo bump doesn’t seem to be in effect on this one. Cautiously optimistic it’ll be as good as I hoped!

You guys should pump fake posting the podcast every week to see if any news comes out immediately after.

we got a Nico Hulkenberg podium before GTA 6

Freedom from kings.
Freedom from fascism.
Power to the people forever. ♥️

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

This is probably the race that Lando will look at near the end of the season as he loses the championship by a handful of points huh.

Ya boi made the titles for EP02-11 in this series. A fun little exploration in simplicity.

METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER | OPENING MOVIE Δ Version(clean ver.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wgH...

"We're sharing Kyle Cooper's completely re-done opening sequence in the remake, accompanied by a new recording of the theme song performed by Cynthia Harrell"

The one thing I do appreciate about the current moment is that we're seeing the masks come off. The same companies that hashtagged their asses off about caring for the marginalized in 2020 never actually cared. It was obvious but now nobody has to pretend anymore. We can call it like it is.

We are excited to report that it is once again time for Famicase:

There is a whole subset of Nintendo games which I classify in my head as "I am sure I would enjoy but I am morally aghast that they would charge 60 or 50 bucks for this and never put it on sale" and as a result, I will never own them.

The art direction in Pokemon has been abysmal for so long.

It’s crazy BOTW and TOTK are both running on the same system and look incredible/timeless (mostly).

Should be a crime to not make them skippable after the first launch. Looking at you Dragon Age Veilguard.

Searle's paper, titled "Dazed & Confused: A Large-Scale Real-World User Study of reCAPTCHAv2," found that Google's widely-used CAPTCHA system is primarily a mechanism for tracking user behavior and collecting data while providing little actual security against bots. The study revealed that reCAPTCHA extensively monitors users' cookies, browsing history, and browser environment (including canvas rendering, screen resolution, mouse movements, and user-agent data) — all of which can be used for advertising and tracking purposes. Through analyzing over 3,600 users, the researchers found that solving image-based challenges takes 557% longer than checkbox challenges and concluded that reCAPTCHA has cost society an estimated 819 million hours of human time valued at $6.1 billion in wages while generating massive profits for Google through its tracking capabilities and data collection, with the value of tracking cookies alone estimated at $888 billion.

Oh.

Still shocked they fumbled one of the most iconic gaming moments in history.

My hot take for 2024 is Lorelei and The Laser Eyes is good/great but not incredible.

Really thought I was going to get a The Witness level of puzzle and overthought 70% of the puzzles.

Atmosphere is fun though. UI/UX is a big miss.

This is nasty work. They’re taunting us.
