Very interesting to see Expedition 33 analyzed in the context of French history & politics. Turn on those subtitles and listen to voices from all across the world - they'll expand your horizons and help you grow.

We're going to have a demo in the Steam Next Fest! I'll be posting again once it's available, but I hope you'll be looking forward to it. If you are in a community or are a content creator that plays next fest games, I hope you will consider adding ours to the list!

People who aren’t pirates or sickos that spent all their money can finally see how bad X-Men: The Arcade Game gets in later levels.

IIRC it and The Simpsons Arcade Game both go on for way longer than necessary.

I don't know what annoys me more: being forced to do a GoFundMe when the guy created a franchise that spawned one of the biggest movies of the year, or doing a GoFundMe when you're part of the richest country in the world but incapable of looking after the health of its own citizens.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

i think lots of people underestimate how badly these β€œAI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

I used to own this and always wondered what game the cover art was meant to reference.

Having one of the most prominent very known Zionists online that has said so much anti-Palestinian rhetoric in the credits for your game is wild!

Am obviously referring to Ethan Klein!

He has used his gargantuan platform to harass huge pro-Palestinian folks, and Palestinians for so long, as well!

If you have interest in any of these games, this is a steal. Karma Zoo is extremely underrated as is Genital Jousting’s story mode that tackles toxic masculinity (I am not joking). 10/10 deal.

No one ever tells you how much laundry you have to do when you’re working out 5+ days a week. But I will.

A whole fucking bunch.

Truly the best part of this film has been all the promo media Charli released around it.

Saw Charli XCX’s mockumentary film The Moment last night. It was really kind of boring, unfortunately.

Trailers make it seem like it is gonna be one part concert film, one part comedy. It’s a boring dramady at best with few laughs, drama, or character development.

This is one of the reason the rich and rulers are pushing AI so hard. They want people to view AI as modern day oracles that you believe can never be wrong or manipulated.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.

I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

Don’t worry, their AI will talk to all the bots on their platform for you to find you the best scam to fall for off the platform, all automated for the low low price of $500, your privacy, and your dignity.

But also, the combo of these two ideas could make for a fun game.
