when people said we needed a "joe rogan of the left" i said anyone who approaches that has been and will continue to be condemned by the very people searching for that. they want a joe rogan of the center left and that is a contradiction in terms

I had been critical of Ossoff for being just another corporate centrist, despite saying a lot of things that sounded pretty good. I wish I could take any satisfaction from being vindicated, but unfortunately we're all suffering from this kind of politics.

Just saw a Blizzard crossover ad with McDonalds, and it made me want to walk into the ocean. Everything that made these studios household names, the heart and soul of the IPs they created, has been surgically removed and replaced with corporate dogshit.
McDonald’s brings Xbox game food to its real-world menu
The spot, created with Leo UK, sees McDonald’s team up with Xbox and major gaming franchises for a fan-first 360 campaign

Democrats demagoguing Hasan Piker and Mark Ruffalo is less about them as individuals and more as vessels of progressive politics they don’t support; Dems can’t come out and say “we believe in genociding Palestinians and caging immigrants” so they discredit voices tied to that popular current.

Hey I know it's really hard to finish games, the industry is in tatters, people are struggling (including me), and funding has dried up. But anybody want to start a decade long project to build a UGC based, narrative roleplay heavy, massively open-world ARPG?
Look at this pathetic jackass standing there pleading for attention like a needy baboon begging its handlers for another banana

Yes, this is the problem of our time. We've effectively solved many (most?) of our physical constraints, now all the existential problems are cultural and political.
Freya Holmér@freya.bsky.social · 2w agoit feels odd that what's holding technology back from benefiting humanity at this moment, isn't really a technological problem, but a bureaucratic issue of incentive structures there's so much money being wasted on things that are either neutral or a net negative within tech now, it's weird

Good, now we move the baseline to punishing ICE leadership and agents.

Oh, you're telling me a streaming and technology company bought a game studio, didn't understand the medium or its economics, forced the studio to do dumb shit, pushed it out, and canned everyone when it flopped? How could Netflix have possibly known 😒

Hey everybody. I’ve seen the statement by Matt Karch, the CEO of Saber Entertainment, and all of the truly horrendous things he said about me. I think it should be obvious to anyone who reads that statement that he’s lashing out because he did not want people to know there was AI use in the game.
I was an English major that read Bleak House. Of the books I read while getting my degree, it would not even register in the top 50 of the difficult ones.

You listen to the people who are maddest about Abdul El-Sayed and most of the time their point boils down to "I have special permission to be super racist against Arabs"
Excess discernment is a great way to put it. It's one of the most frustrating and depressing functions of modern life, that being justifiably analytical or critical in any way of capitalist orthodoxy is a source of endless punishment both economically and emotionally.
Bruno Dias@brunodias.dev · 4w agoone of the sides of this debate has a propaganda budget in the billions and a feedback loop of hype confirmation running through the mycelia of every business network on the planet, the other is people whose lives have been impaired by an excess of discernment
We've spent so much effort, for so long, to get this. And they lit so much money on fire. Imagine how much community organizing $60 million could have gotten in Michigan. But organized community wasn't the goal.
