Add “completely dismantle ICE and its concentration camps” and you’ve got the main points, I think.
Olivia@oliviasmolivia.bsky.social · yesterdayThe next Democratic presidential candidate just has to drive three points to have a home run: the protection of all rights for LGBTQIA+ people, codifying reproductive rights, and the breakup/regulation of the tech and entertainment industries.
I think FFXV might be best experienced by having your friend who is really into FFXV infodump on you about the world and its lore.
Coming to the conclusion that between Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean, my sexuality got defined as just “Orlando Bloom”
please stop replying to game devs saying things like "well look on the bright side those laid off devs can start their own indie studios now" because eventually one of us is going to snap and "WITH WHAT FUCKING MONEY" would be a shitty last thing to hear before you die
You can look at Veilguard as a game that cost too much money to make or you can look at Veilguard as a cheap salvage operation subsidized by the asset overhang of canceled projects, and how EA chooses to view it is just a function of internecine politics.
It's convenient for the child rapists who now run EA to claim Veilguard was a massive flop because what they want to do already is eliminate any part of EA that isn't a gambling and sportswashing operation. You don't have to fucking help them.
I can’t really overemphasize how important the Dragon Age games are to me. Between the characters, the world-building, and the gameplay, they genuinely gave me gaming experiences I’ve never had before or since. It’s messed up how I’m still chasing those feelings!!
Also: Dragon Age 2 is an incredible video game that took storytelling swings no one else was even considering in 2011, had one of the best ensembles in any medium, and was a goddamn feat of development that got made in A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS. Haters can get bent, Kirkwall 4 life
I wonder if the prevalence of things like 1 day amazon boycotts has just convinced everybody that consumer action isn't possible. It is! Be loud! Be judgy! Make it feel shameful to use AI! To watch harry potter! To play xbox games! The capitalists and fascists of the world thrive on complacency!
Yes, it’s going to be double, maybe even triple, the price of the previous Xbox, and yes Xbox is on the BDS boycott list, but consider this: if you pick one up you can enjoy theoretically playing all the exciting Xbox exclusives, which do not exist and have no hope of existing for at least a decade

All you Libby users borrowing digital books and audiobooks through your library cards, you can set your preferences to human authors and artists ONLY. Click the middle button at the bottom, then "Content Controls" under Settings. You'll find "AI Contributions" there. Click in to it to make changes.
it’s worth underlining that the amount which a modern live game is not this is directly the result of devs fighting inch by inch, for months if not years, against the guy at every corporation who demands an explanation for why you aren’t doing this at all times
Morgan Johnson@poormojo.bsky.social · 2w agoNo joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads
In case you didn’t know, shushing a baby is very different than shushing a full-grown adult. The mommy on the bus is trying to soothe the baby to make them feel better, not chide them for crying too loud.

I feel genuinely really bad for the ppl at epic who I assume joined the company to do art and not to be an extension cable for a slop machine
I need this shit to stop so bad man. I can’t keep fuck it we ballin’ through this. We have to agree that human life has value for the love of God
I don't 100% get this, but I bet it's really funny.

Harvard just dropped a study AI productivity in software engineering and it found the average increase in productivity from using Claude code is.....zero and for exactly the reasons you'd think fion.ac/jellyfish.pdf
I'm baffled by the running joke that people have never heard the song Choosin' Texas even though it is the current longest-running number 1 hit. Do you...not listen to top 40 radio??? Because it plays on the radio approximately as often as you would expect given the above fact.
apparently nappy.co, an invaluable stock photo resource, is shutting down in a few months because, well, AI destroys everything. this blows. their statement: nappy.co/future just fucking sucks that AI dipshits essentially get to take away our choices because they're incapable of making their own
