These are: ● A small but well-founded production by some of the most talented folks in the industry, ● A game that took a solo developer two full years with no pay (and for one of them, he was fully supported by his partner!) ● The most recent game to hit the friendslop roulette (complimentary)
GamesRadar+@gamesradarplus.bsky.social · 2w agoWe need games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Balatro, and Peak as a cure for the "fear" in the industry, say experts www.gamesradar.com/games/we-nee...
The primary lessons here are that: 1) The Democratic Party had 8 months to find a person who didn't have Nazi tattoos and wasn't 80 years old, and they couldn't do it 2) Dem voters are willing to overlook a mountain of red flags to get anything different than what dems have been offering
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 4w agoI’ve avoided a lot of the Platner discourse because it’s a toxic tarpit, but I think the notion that the lesson here is primarily about either one political faction or something essential about “unvetted” newcomers, sits in some considerable tension with the entire Eric Swalwell experience.
how is anyone supposed to see this and conclude that chuck schumer isn't complicit in the fascist takeover of america
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov · last mo.Despite Trump’s best efforts to bully them, the Supreme Court just reaffirmed that if you are born in America, you belong in America.
i'm not saying the democrats wanted to enable this outcome. but i am saying if the democrats DID want to enable this outcome, you'd be hard pressed to find a single choice they would've made differently. they may say otherwise, but only their actions tell the truth.
one would be quite justified in concluding that there is no recourse remaining for preserving America's democracy within the bounds of the electoral process or legal system
Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com · 3mo agoBREAKING: In a loss for Democrats, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the congressional map voters approved last month to counter GOP gerrymanders cannot go into effect. The decision overturns the will of voters for technical reasons and gives Republicans a leg up for the 2026 midterms.
This is absolute, undeniable proof this is going to fall apart

Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 3mo agoOn second thought, it’s probably pretty obvious he would go exactly where right wing authoritarian grifters like him always go…aliens, that the gubmint doesn’t want you to know about.

there are many candidates for the epitaph on the end of history's headstone, but right now "we raised our kids to be better people than us; unfortunately, they were" feels pretty apt
If the goal here was to stop nuclear proliferation, it already has failed: if I was not on friendly terms with the US or their proxies right now and did not currently possess nuclear weapons, I would be moving as fast as possible to develop or acquire them
Every single person who was aware of this and didn't try to stop it should be tried for crimes against humanity These fucking ghouls should never have any influence over any part of public life ever again

This isn't science. It's religion with a scientific veneer. How are these claims falsifiable? It's the ever-looming Second Coming but for people who frequently posture as being "above" religion.

This is a good example of how conservative elites *know* that their ideology doesn't work. There hasn't been a more friendly political climate for sexual harassers in the last 30 years, but the proudly "antiwoke" news channel still doesn't want sexual harassers on staff. I wonder why?
