There has to be a plug-in or something to filter out this bullshit. If the games require an AI disclosure, why can I not filter for games that do not have that disclosure?

If you were ever targeted by the Gamergate horde from 2024 onward, I'd love to talk to you briefly for a short section in my book! Reply, DM me, or email me at alyssamerc@gmail.com. Signal boost!!

Gears of War: E-Day is the latest game to become an unwilling participant in a culture war keeping people distracted and putting revenue in the pockets of rage baiters! The voluntary insomnia that these rage beaters display is one of the main ways this war persists.

This man wants to min-max, recruit, and strategize. If he can get past the anime factor, Fire Emblem is right up his alley. Other contenders are any of the Farming Simulators, City Skylines, or he just rebuilds Alabama in CFB 27 because he doesn't like what DeBoer has done to the program.

The problem isn’t that they’re moving past it—it’s that they’re trying to rehabilitate it. Would be better for everyone if people who don’t want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that.

I do think an important aspect of last night's Dynamite is that it chips away at a kind of toxic masculinity that says men don't cry. Everyone last night was bawling and the ones that weren't actively crying were supporting the ones that were. I think it's necessary to internalize that.

obviously this is fucked but it's not surprising to me, the way the fake bisexual myth plays out is bi women are actually straight and bi men are actually gay. straight women perceive bi men as gay while straight men see bi women as down for a threesome

YouGov@yougov.co.uk

66% of straight women are unwilling to date a bisexual man, our study finds ahead of #BiVisibility Day % unwilling to date bi men Straight women 66% Bi men 15% Gay men 11% Bi women 10% % unwilling to date bi women Straight men 35% Lesbian women 20% Bi men 9% Bi women 3% yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

I love this game with all of my being and I’m happy that a large piece of my life/identity is not being killed. HOWEVER It’s starting to feel like a relationship that your friends would tell you to leave because your partner can’t commit to a decision and can’t communicate what they want

Bungie: "we are not done with Destiny" - beginning the work of bringing vaulted Destiny 2 campaigns and content back to the game More: www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Ar...

The announcement of no new content a few months ago brought out the worst people in the community and the space from the depths of Crota’s pit, and I don’t see this stopping now because they will champion their constant clickbait and grifting as “winning”

That’s not to say that every person that was vocal about this was doing that, far from it. It’s always the vocal minority that gets seen and heard more than the masses. I just do not want the game that I love and cherish to get swept up into more bullshit because of it

Having a QB like this is doing as much for my mental health as the 20mg of Adderall that I take every morning

The throw on the run, Odunze picking it off the helmet. Wow

I apologize for those who are following and do not care about football, but it’s Week 1 and I will start being obnoxious about the Bears starting now

I really need to stop watching NFL pregame shows because they just had Gronk talking about his parlay and I fear for the person who listens to the betting advice given by someone who is the human embedment of CTE Oh, and just copious amounts of AI slop in their graphics. Disgusting shit

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

Update from me regarding streaming/content creation. TLDR: I'm done with streaming, one last stream on September 12th to wrap it all up.

anyone who thinks ADHD is made up to sell pills or whatever should be forced to spend 8 hours alone with me in a car while I am fully unmedicated. let's see how you really feel after that

I am here to report that this game does in fact have the juice.

No hate, no dogpiling, just curious. For me, it's Skyrim. Don't know why, considering it should be exactly my kind of game, but it just didn't click for me.

It’s really a shame that my ideal weather of “able to wear shorts and big sweatshirt” doesn’t exist year round tbh

The process of moving your Pokemon off of Pokemon Go and into Home is one of the silliest things I've ever seen. Why can I only transfer 25 Pokemon at a time? Why do I need to wait for the transfer device to "recharge" or pay real money to make it recharge faster?

Almost every time you've been able to transfer Pokemon from one game to another that arent in the same generation, it requires you to do some bullshit for no reason. Throw balls at the Pokemon with a slingshot as they hop around the screen. Recatch them. Have a 2nd DS.

Pokemon Bank and Home have made this MUCH easier in the recent decade, but this shit with Go is so asinine to me. It makes a slight amount of sense that shinies and legendaries take more "energy" to transfer to home, but I just want all of my little dudes in the same place

Do I have moots in games or games journalism who would want to help out with a charity stream and feel like they could "teach" something? Can be things like "how to design a character" or even like "how to speedbuild in Minecraft." The options are endless. Please DM me! Signal boost!

If you have an online audience and use it to obsessively track and post about a person to mess with their emotional state and livelihood (and routinely sic your fans on them), you should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. If you did this IRL, you would be.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

enough of this shit

The whole rumors and reporting was probably in MS favor since I see a lot of comments saying "Oh I thought it would be worse". No, this shit still sucks. Fucking incompetent managment.

herculean levels of passive voice here for what has been a butchering of thousands of livelihoods over the course of years at the hands of incompetent executives. no shade to whatever poor community manager had to write this image lol
