The way out is through.

this is something I do worry about, not because I think the GOP are even doing this necessarily--but because I think that on the left we are uniquely vulnerable to giving up in disillusionment if our wildest dreams don't come 100% true.

I’m conspiratorial enough to wonder whether the gop freakouts are an attempt to manage expectations so that anything short of a blowout is a disappointment www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

we're seeing this across virtually all of culture: when people are told that enjoying things has serious costs for others downstream, its hard to get them to understand that if THEY make an exception for (brand) then EVERYONE is going to, and nothing is gained, only lost.

Epic and Level 5 should already know in 2026 that whatever game they are planning to use AI in will get fuckall for media coverage and will never make the development costs back, yet they don't It's the gaming community at large still interacting with their products that gives them any hope

It's not enough for weirdo mail carriers who like Quest 64 to say "I'm not playing games with GenAI in them" *Streamers need to stop playing them & mods made with AI *Review outlets need to stop giving them coverage and accepting codes and PUBLICLY SAY WHY *Modders need to stop using the AI tools

The picture says rate my setup 
And it's Brian in goldeneye N64 with some other stuff

It's so funny that MapQuest was all but counted out on the mat after taking a beating from Google Maps and Apple Maps but they navigated (lol) this current fuckshit political climate like a fucking boss. Kudos to whomever decided they should position themselves as WokeMaps

2006: you wouldn't download a car 2026: were introducing a new business model of downloading every car and selling cars made from random parts of the car we stole. Also its mandatory and we bet our entire economy on this, so you better not complain.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads
