It's not enough for me to have the most successful live-service game in the world, I also need to save money by not paying my workers. It's not enough to have a technology that lets me not pay my workers, people have to keep liking me after I start using it. I'm the 837th richest person in the world

YO CASTLEVANIA PLAYERS LISTEN UP! YOU *CAN* FAST TRAVEL WITHIN A ZONE, THE GAME IS JUST RULL BAD AT TELLING YOU HOW

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

the 90s were a time

Microsoft offering to buy out over one-in-four employees to cut costs is I mean I'm not an economics major but I feel like we have to be entering the endgame of circular financing and runaway capital expenditure soon-ish, right

WE DID IT !! LOVE ETERNAL is officially Overwhelmingly Positive wow wow thank you everyone

I made this with a phone that wasn't even good. Anyone can make things.

Great chance for people to finally check Dark Messiah! store.steampowered.com/app/5016100/... It's a bit messy but it's Arkane setting the blueprint to a lot of what people love in Dishonored. Some battles and set pieces still feel cutting-edge, even 20 years later.

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Here in Rio, people are out on their balconies screaming “it’s a coup” as Bolsonaro takes the lead in the count

Here’s a Bolsonaro-aligned congressman straight up announcing the coup plan

look, nothing is simple and i have no parsimonious explanation for anything here, but a student protest movement, focused on corruption & authoritarianism, just won a major european election. a big deal.

A player found something very very very hidden

Please don’t wait for a video essay to tell you to play Penguin Colony.

Democrats will do nothing for two years and will act shocked when they lose across the board in 2028 because they delivered nothing and didn’t act as an opposition party. People expect them to obstruct the Republican and they won’t even do that.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that if Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are speaker and majority leader, no matter how large their majorities are, no progress will be made. They will do nothing.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Finally went and looked up the nonpartisan super local candidates on my ballot (school board and such) and was surprised to find none of them are remotely as off-the-charts wild as last election. Which is a good sign, maybe? Like there's still losers here, but not the angry terminally online folks.

Sigh… but yes. Tell me again how I should full theaters get down on my knees to support the democrats.

Thinking about it, there's been a bunch of Souls-likes set in Blame-inspired megastructures recently. Bleak Faith: Forsaken, Dolls Nest, AI Limit - any others I'm missing?

1. Made a post with a video 2. Post had a typo 3. Deleted post to fix typo, because that's the only way to do that 4. Tried to post the video in a new post with the typo removed 5. Bluesky poops the bed and can no longer upload the video, presumably because it thinks uploading the same vid is spam
