Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

Locking up an autistic kid in a mental hospital for life for leaking a clip of a game is bullshit. Guess I'm never playing a Rockstar game again.

Playing through Xenoblade Chronicles:DE for the first time and the music is so moving. Brings me back to my childhood days and all the jrpgs I grew up with in the 90s. A balm amid our current moment.

Finally playing through CP2077 alongside Xenoblade on Switch 2 and 2077 is v fun but damn it has some of the worst tutorialization ive ever experienced in a game. Truly baffling. Needed a content designer so bad.

This is a thought that makes sense in my head, but: There's a lineage from Paste Games to sites like Waypoint, Remap, Fanbyte, Kotaku, Game Informer, etc. where they would not be anything like they were if it weren't for Garrett's "If you have an idea, just go for it" pitching and editing mentality

Jesus wept. I just called my US rep and senators and told them they have to do everything they can to stop this genocide. I told them I don't care if they're in the minority. They have options. I told them to chain themselves to the White House fence. Please call your reps, too. reps.fyi

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

CECOT has a max capacity of 40,000. There are over 50,000 Black men in solitary confinement in the US today. Black men are most likely to be falsely arrested and charged while 100% innocent. You can be in jail for over a year before your trial. During that time you can be forced to do slave labor.

California passes proposition 50, which will mean multiple anti-LGBTQ+ Republican congress people will likely lose their seat. A continual bloodbath for anti-LGBTQ+ Republicans tonight.
