Legitimately one of our biggest collective failures as a media body is allowing The Game Awards to have this kind of gravity. I don't give a shit how it works. I don't give a shit how many people watch it. We fucked up centering a small corner of our coverage to this specific event.

My husband has NEVER talked in his sleep, a streak he recently chose to break by loudly whispering, “There’s someone at the window.”

ceej@ceej.online · 2y ago

My wife, a prodigious sleep-talker, failed to disclose her affliction when we started dating, which led to the fright of my life the night she sat bolt upright in bed and in a low flat monotone loudly declared that “THIRTEEN BABIES REMAIN UNFATHERED.”

If you're wondering why authors are getting so rabid here: First Anthropic stole our books. Then we got denied compensation because of US unjust copyright law and publishers failing to meet their contractual obligations. Then publishers and agents apparently claimed author shares. Now this.

these kinds of insane projections about a game that does not even have a name is how we got into the mess that was 2XKO's lifecycle to begin with lmao this company might be beyond saving

The painful thing is how those of us in the disability community predicted this outcome - both that ignoring COVID and taking no measures to restrict it's spread would lead to a massive increase in disability, and that those disabled would be blamed for their own conditions.

Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · yesterday

This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.

Decades of neoliberal city politics has cultivated a degree of learned helplessness around funding that is especially grotesque when it’s a fascist national government threatening clawbacks. Protecting trans people cannot be deferred.

As Erin Reed has reported, last June NYC's health commissioner acknowledged—in response to questioning by @tiffanycaban.bsky.social—that NYC isn't opposing Trump's push to end GAC for minors mainly because it fears "clawbacks from the federal government." www.erininthemorning.com/p/mamdanis-n...

I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you? They're lying. Ive been nitro free since the first time they tried this, voice how you feel with your wallet people. Make them really feel that squeeze.

the nytimes piece does not state that mamdani pays influencers, but was written misleadingly so that people will draw that conclusion. david knows this also, by the way, he is helping to spread the lie

David Darmofal@daviddarmofal.bsky.social · 2d ago

Because of Mamdani’s paying influencers to promote him, I now assume by default that everyone in NYC who’s been praising him online like they’re in a cult or something has been getting paid to do that. That’s not good for Mamdani & it’s not good for trust in government.

From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it "age" verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we've been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Or maybe it wasn't waiting. Maybe it was already happening. This week a...

The only player here with agency is OpenAI. They're the ones who've gone rogue. "Reckless company releases more potential malware onto the internet" is how every one of these headlines should be phrased. Any other wording is, regardless of how good or thorough the articles are, AI propaganda.

The White House made some video games based on deporting Immigrants & other bullshit, & they're using brand logos such as Xbox, Nintendo (specifically the GameCube), Sony (specifically PlayStation 2), & SEGA to promote it... The gaming industry is already messed up as it is; we can't catch a break.

Every few months I like to check this website run by a British guy who doesn’t pay for a tv license (because he doesn’t watch TV) and has been getting angry automated letters from the BBC for decades threatening to come to his house. He posts a new one every months or so; no one has ever come iirc

this is genuinely the most ominous thing I have _ever_ seen a game trailer do. what horrific combination of pressures demands you reassure players that they can fast forward though the 100+ dollar game they just bought

A friend mentioned MJF's promo last night had the same energy as another classic piece of crash-out cinema. I had to investigate for myself to see how well they line up.

i was in the beta for OnLive and i covered the launch of Stadia. i’ve followed game streaming for longer than most people have been aware it exists, and i’ve never been more certain that it is never going to be a viable way to enjoy video games in the long term
