SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

been seeing a lot more people attempting to play old games "blind" & not look things up for a more "pure" experience, but like. those old games had manuals. i guarantee you can find a pdf of it online, and if its a digital rerelease they probably put it in the folder you downloaded it to.

Just a reminder that: - this isn't for workplaces and if your work is trying to implement it scare them over discrimination claims - the onus is on the service provider, not the service user to comply - the code *itself* says enforcement of toilet facilities is unworkable and low priority

EHRC Code of Practice comes into effect today so remember to be an absolute pain in the arse to any service provider who is trying to actively enforce it.

The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.

#OtD 29 Jul 1962 fascist Oswald Mosley tried to march with the Union Movement in Manchester, UK. However, he was attacked by anti-fascists and had to be rescued by police. A Mosley speech later was drowned out by a crowd of anti-fascists. More info: www.patreon.com/posts/e37b-6...

i’ve been bat obsessed recently

MMOs are sick because of the incidental encounters you have with strangers going about their own business, not because of the prescribed activities you slot yourself into alongside a prerequisite number of players

genuinely think MMOs lost sight somewhere along the road of the ways that multiplayer in a shared, persistent world can be a wonder and not just a rote feature of the form

FFXI is the goat because I died right before the final checkpoint of the final dungeon and Ava made it tot hr checkpoint and went back to town to recruit a white mage to raise me... multiplayer is awesome

Number 10 North just looks like an annoying restaurant in zone one where a mediocre burger is £26 and when it arrives you ask where the chips are the waiter tells you "those are ordered separately" and you order them and they're £7 and come in a little metal bucket for cunts.
