underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

Once again I am asking why this happens to indie games and not big blockbusters where you can fuck the bear or go to strip clubs. And once again I know the answer
We are aware that Steam has classified Nighthawks as an adult game and has excluded it from searches (and delisted it entirely in certain countries). We are working on it. Valve is under the impression that this game is way sexier than it actually is.
Tired of coming out constantly, so she just carries these around everywhere.
i can't believe i posted this thread a few hours before it actually became a story

hey why is no one talking about the licensing situation with this A24/SCP thing? are they releasing it under the same cc-by-sa license every SCP project is required to have? are they betting creative commons won't hold up in court? seems like the kind of question a journalist should look into idk
The anti-trans movement that's come to prominence of the past decade was in no small way orchestrated by Jeffrey Epstein, this anti-trans shit has been entirely astroterfed by these billionaire ghouls, it's not normal.

Scenes such as this where the light is reflecting on the water are accomplished through a process called "backlighting", "underlighting" or "bipack glow". To create the effect a matte is cut and light is shone through the holes.

"fairness in women's sports" is literally just "ethics in games journalism" like this is the same thing this is part of the same playbook dawg
I can just have a dumb idea and a week later have a bunch of stickers of it and this is dangerous power for me to have
No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.
PlayStation is a completely rotten institution, incapable of delivering their own cynical, sanitized idea of what games should be. They’re a mindless creature, attacking & consuming the industry and should be put down. I look forward to their imminent implosion, good luck w/ PS6, you chucklefucks.
PlayStation is stepping away from collaborating with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS on its project PHYSINT
Once again when you actually stand up to the fuckers and bring the lawyers, they tuck tail and piss themselves. Mainly because all of their lawyers are hired for obsequiousness and not skill or intelligence.
The White House has removed from its website an arcade-style "Build the Wall" game closely styled like Tetris, which comes after the gaming company warned of copyright infringement. https://cnn.it/4yuyuhL
Anyone calling the refusal to compromise on trans rights a "purity test" can get into the bin as far as I'm concerned
I find all the “oh gee I sure hope they aren’t a twist villain” jokes really funny cuz that has happened exactly twice in the series and people are treating it like it’s a prevalent Kirby trope lol
This new Kirby character is so cute
Shout out to everyone who said it was just a temporary distraction and not a central organizing principle of modern fascism.

Suddenly all those "people unsure if Mamdani should attend 9/11 ceremony" articles comes into focus. It's a blatant racist attack to distract from the fact that they knowingly covered up health hazards because money wasn't flowing.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the release of tens of thousands of documents showing the city did not disclose all it knew about air toxicity after the 9/11 attacks u.afp.com/Sj5u
Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.
Antebellum politics is fascinating, the South kept getting policy concessions and whipped themselves up into a paranoid rage anyway, essentially because they couldn't stand being culturally judged for having slaves
Our final Photo CharTR of the year is well underway, featuring a rather dirty and worn 'Dolgoch'. A team of volunteers have carefully weathered No.2 to resemble how she was in the late 1940s, including some temporary sign writing!
Since it's the anniversary of the debut of "Batman the Animated Series," feeling compelled to share this art by Bruce Timm of all the things they weren't allowed to show in the cartoon. Can you guess them all? Answers in the next skeet down.
