Guys, I'm sure this is an isolated incident and that these kinds of pay-for-play schemes are in no way warping our collective view of politics.

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

guy who is hideously unqualified to be running something: yeah so my plan is for all of you to do something impossible

I want to say that if this dragnet snags enough white people, we might finally get meaningful action. But I am pretty sure the elites have already called off even the pretense of caring about poor white people AND they’re actively making middle class white people poor. Sooooo…

A lot of the devs I’ve talked to about Outersloth don’t seem to understand fund vs Publisher. I had one dev argue with me about Outersloth and asked me if I was sure they’re a fund. I’m pretty sure since I signed one of the initial Outersloth contracts. Anyways, more funds to offset publishers!

The Removed DOGE Deposition Videos Have Already Been Backed Up Across the Internet On Friday a judge ordered those who uploaded the videos to YouTube to remove them. By Saturday, a backup of the videos was available online as a torrent and on the Internet Archive.

surge pricing in all forms should be illegal, and anyone who tries to implement or reverse engineer it should be lowered into a vat of molten lava

it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

ouch, my bones

gonna be hard to sleep with all these knives around

Flight attendants had to move my giant yoshi plush to an empty seat in the back because it was taking too much room in the ceiling compartment, look a what they did to him 😭😭

I might

thank goodness I’m going home to rest after this (jk going to three shows in three nights)

me after a week of gdc

maybe vr is the future after all

It's such a weird choice. Where was the audience in this choice?? We don't want music and overpriced food in the gardens! The best thing GDC had was paying the city to have the gardens and keep them free for everyone

remember when we marched to the yerba buena gardens last year to rally for video game worker power ??? look what they did now:

For tomorrow night's Stellathon I did an analog photoshoot with @antlervel.vet and our favorite potato Miga!💕🥔

We will be offering digital scans of the full 26 photo set as well as the ability to claim one of the one-of-a-kind physical photos to be mailed to you!
Tune in 6pm-midnight ET!

I will never use generative art for anything. fuck that

Oh hey, I am quoted heavily in this, and the @gdfl.bsky.social is a hot topic of conversation. 🔥🔥🔥

btw, full credit for this art goes to the shutterstock artist who drew a stylized picture of nyc that inspired me to think “that’s obviously a final fantasy logo.” the rest, as they say, is history

@rcmacleod.bsky.social and @lukeplunkett.com both got to experience different legs of this journey

would you believe that I spent HOURS trying to find a good image and got incredibly mad before coming up with this. I was at my wit’s end before inspiration struck in my darkest hour

this art???????????

hahahaha
