Australia’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 was today years old when I found out that actor Michael Dorn is an accomplished pilot who owned an F-86 Sabre in the 1990s. He once ran out of fuel and made an emergency landing at a military airfield. The base commander agreed not to tell the FAA in return for autographs and two low level passes…

My ★★★★ review of Shenmue (1999) on @backloggd.com : Shenmue is a game that if one were into point and click adventure games then this will feel right at home to a degree.The whole game feels chill and mature in its slice of lifey-ness. You play day to day as Ryo,... bckl.gg/vGCL

The headline is correct. "Legendary" is the only way to describe Carol Lynn Pearson. I had the privilege to meet her and she was such a kind and wonderful person. My condolences to her family and friends. #Utah

Legendary Latter-day Saint poet, playwright and activist Carol Lynn Pearson has died at age 86. "The Mormon people were truly blessed to have her as a companion," a historian says, "and the institution would have done well to listen to her.”

Colorado GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx says God has given him a "gift" to uncover people's demons and rid them of evil spirits through a specialized prayer. Marx says you, too, can learn how to do it. The eight-part course is $99. www.9news.com/article/news...

This was my fun on-a-whim project for the past couple days. I had a lot of fun with it--and learned a whoooole lot. I'm quite proud of it. A lot of history happens closer together than you think

my take that may get me executed is that Vault Breaker is the closest Marathon 2026 has felt to the originals. these are all positives and i can only hope that bungie learns a lot from vault breaker and that the game lives long enough to implement them

With that new Halo remake out today, you should... not buy it because BDS boycott and all. What you CAN (and should) play is Halo SPV3, an even more ambitious remake made by fans. It's free, and all you need is a CD key from the OG PC release. Any CD key. Google one. www.moddb.com/mods/spv3-fo...

While I understand the desire to avoid doing fiddly bullshit to game I really don’t think PC gaming is that fiddly relative to its history. You used to have to do crimes to get music to work properly.

xemu has 19x the amount of games they're starting with. 224x if you're willing to settle for "playable" over "perfect", which i'd expect microsoft's first party implementation to amount to tbh. plus you're not giving microsoft any money, which you shouldn't.
