Thinking about a game I had a borderline religious experience playing that does not get talked about enough these days.

Too many people in this space ultimately only care about their ability to play games. Their entire ideology is based on the premise that games are some right accorded to them. When that's your most core belief, nothing serious can be built on top of it.

I’ve seen peers completely ignore BDS while championing the “power of the PlayStation Boycott” in the same breath recently. Frankly, I’ve just so little respect for these people. Why is it a race to be the most unserious person imaginable lately?

The number of quote tweets crowing and cheering about this is nauseating. Workers lost their jobs! The bosses are still there! Why does that make you happy? Capital counts on you to be petty and small-minded and vindictive towards strangers instead of having a scrap of solidarity for the worker.

First, I want to remind people of Microsoft's role in the genocide of Palestinians - bdsmovement.net/microsoft

Microsoft

Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

The corporate state is underplayed in the definition of fascism. The distinctive promise of fascism is to discipline labor (and thereby eliminate the leftist threat) by uniting the government, industry, and the church to subdue it.

When government and big business are the same thing, your democracy will be dead.

"Europeans hate aircon" is a self-reinforcing misconception perpetuated by the weird reply guys you attract by posting that take.

The piss tank on the ISS is now 69% full.

Sorry for discoursing, but calling games too easy and for babies is Nick Breckon / Idle Thumbs stolen valor.

lmao

gamers are going to make this stuff about them but the redistribution of computing power to be something only for the wealthy and corporate really sucks

I don't think people in the industry are ready for the amount of PC hardware makers that are going to straight up die because of everything that's happened in the last year and a half, it isn't about cheap treats it's like half the people that make motherboards and computer cases.

a powerful and devastating piece.

Today @victoriascott.bsky.social writes about Juniper Blessing, a University of Washington student who was murdered last week, and worries about the potential loss of a better future for young trans people she had always hoped was coming. www.welcometohellworld.com/this-pain-ha...

My guess is that the percentage of Americans who are aware that we are blockading and immiserating a neighboring country is in the single digits. Its not an invasion, but involves the use of American military force with the intent of collapsing the government.

Even if Microsoft wasn't subject to a boycott by the BDS movement, it's kind of embarrassing to dickride a company that has done as much damage to the games industry as Microsoft has. All that consolidation, M&A—only to conduct mass layoffs at its new acquisitions within a year. It's fuckin gross

A statement regarding the removal of DDLC from the Google Play Store:

The time between fossil fuel crises is just going to keep shrinking, until there's no discrete single "crisis" - just one unbroken prolonged state of global suffering due to fossil fuel unreliability The best time to ditch fossil fuels was 30 years ago. The second best time is now
