Wisst ihr noch bei diesem Netflix Film "Don't Look Up". Wo der Wissenschaftler im Fernsehen einen kompletten Breakdown hatte? Wir sind jetzt genau an dieser Stelle in der Story. Don't look up.

BTW zu dem Punkt dass wir "noch nie" "die Zukunft mithilfe von Daten, Modellen und KI so präzise analysieren" konnten, das IPCC hat seit Jahrzehnten "die Zukunft" in Bezug auf den Temperaturanstieg analysiert & vermittelt und diese 'Zukunft' tritt JETZT ein, no thanks to KI-Datenzentren & friends

Turns out Golden Sun, my first and still favorite RPG of all time, turned 25 years old today. Unrivaled to this day.

Wäre ich als Mann geboren, würde ich angesichts der Pläne mit Zivi und Wehrdienst so unfassbar wütend werden. Männer kapieren einfach nicht, dass sie eigentlich das größte Opfer des Patriarchats sind, weil ihnen die Privilegien zu sehr schmecken. Macht ja nichts, sich tot zu schuften, 1/
Fundamental to movement conservatism today is the idea that anything liberal or "woke" is a part of a nefarious, top-down, alien program of ideas that normal people don't want, rather than the slowly shifting, popular cultural pseudo-consensus that it is. Don't feed that!
Golden Sun's ending pulled me out of the illusion that games just happen into existence. It was the first time I understood, as a child, that games have to be made within constraints.

Golden Sun Taught Me How Games Are Made
Do you still know your reaction to the ending of Golden Sun? I do. I was enraged.

Social media bans cannot be effectively enforced, and come with profound implications for everyone's human rights. Nevertheless the EU and Irish government seem hell bent on pushing through similar legislation here, without presenting a shred of evidence that such a ban will have a positive impact.
Ben Schwarz@benschwarz.bsky.social · 2d agoAustralia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...
I fucking hate AI almost as much as I hate the sniveling asshole billionaires and shithole corporations who have all forced it into every conceivable spot in our lives. It literally makes everything worse and it makes us worse and I fucking hate it.
More people died from heat between April 1, 2026 thru July 19, 2026 than in the ten entire preceding years combined

Glaube ich bin noch nie so durch einen Anime gerauscht wie durch Apothecary Diaries. Will nicht bis Oktober warten bis es weitergeht :(
The @isaacadepts.bsky.social Golden Sun 25th Anniversary Zine is out and I contributed a text about how Golden Suns broken-in-two development history was the first time I understood that games are made, sometimes in messy contexts. There's also great fanart: isaacs-allied-adepts.itch.io/gold

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

Important anti fascist skill to learn is being brave enough to yell "shut the fuck up" at someone in public
Hemant Mehta@friendlyatheist.com · last wk.Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend.

Gehe jetzt in die Steuer rein. Wünscht mir Glück und dass die alljährliche Falschmach-Anxiety verfliegt, sobald ich dransitze.
Warhammer 40k is an inherently charming IP because the Murder King of Elf Hell canonically drives this around.
Career Update: after a more-than-month-long interview process, I'm now being completely ghosted by the only employer to respond to an application since I got laid off in January. Still looking (increasingly desperately) for any writing/games-related work!
Robin Bea@robinbombus.bsky.social · 7mo agoI’m an experienced game critic/journalist looking for work! I’d love to continue writing about games, but I’d happily consider PR, consulting, narrative, or non-gaming editorial work. I have experience hosting and producing podcasts, and I’m comfortable on mic and camera. Portfolio/email in bio! 🧵
We were poor growing up so we had to buy abridged manga. I only got to read The Gist of The North Star
Dear games PR, this is not the way to get me to write about your customer or book an appointment. It's the way to me jumping off your press list
