My partner doesn't like video games like... at all. For my b-day today they are going to actually play games with me, which I feel is one of the best gifts they could get. It means a lot. Also I put together a 65 slide PowerPoint giving them games to pick from which was a gift I gave myself.

I went out to eat with my partner's family for her dad's birthday and I spilled a bunch of the juice from her pot roast on my shirt and no one said anything and I think that's how you make someone feel welcome.

My partner watches a decent amount of reality TV and as such I watch a decent amount of reality TV. We think the most toxic show is probably Netflix's The Ultimatum because it platforms guys who say this.

A lot of folks have interviewed Grant Kirkhope about the DK Rap over the years and he's had very interesting things to say! But I really wanted to talk to the guys who actually rapped it, and managed to get the "So they're finally here!" guy on a call for this:

The DK Rap is a silly, yet beloved, cornerstone of Nintendo and Rare history. It was also recorded in a stuffy hallway by the game director and a programmer who was picked because he listened to Tupac sometimes. https://kotaku.com/stuffy-silly-arhythmic-hallway-recording-original-dk-rap-2000715929

how many GULP sexual erm.. (tugging my collar) p-p-partners have i had .. ?? well ah.. nine (reading the room and feeling like a loser) hundred (realizing this might make me seem like a womanizer) men (afraid of coming off like a serial monogamist) at once

I like fighting games so I knew SNK was owned by bad people. Judging from the response I'm seeing online though this is news to many. So maybe I'm too forgiving or subconsciously biased towards an overall good org or maybe I just think it's nice to see an org actually backtrack rather than dig in.

I'm just going to say the unpopular thing: Cheering for somebody to get fired because a mistake was made (and summarily corrected) is ghoulish. Clearly there was an oversight and people don't have to demand blood for every error. Some of you should reevaluate your morals.

We have canceled our sponsored stream with SNK. We have heard the concerns from our community regarding this partnership, specifically the company’s majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and the human rights concerns tied to the Saudi government.

This is why we are here, this is what we do, and we cannot do it without each other. Free Palestine. From the river to the sea.
