The best parts of Nintendo Switch Sports Resort are meaningfully indistinguishable from Wii Sports Resort. That sameness is fascinating. What if some videogames are essentially new editions of classic board games? My latest! Please enjoy & share (if it's good): medium.com/@abrambuehne...

hm this take has gone mainstream and i am beginning to wonder if people just like moralizing online that much or if people, in the age of tiktok, have simply never seen a movie

i am latino and jewish. it is very weird how often this is used against me by people online or, maybe more interestingly, collapsed into something else by would-be allies. be normal out there, everyone ✌️

The most controversial change accompanying the Dark Arisen update to Dragon’s Dogma 2 is that the game lets you fast travel for free whenever you want. I don't think this has removed friction, but instead just displaced it from an item in your bag to a consideration in your head.

i know we are all aware we are up to our knees in slop but next fest is maybe the most tangible/hellish example of it so far. got actively distressed while browsing the demos last night

This post is unavailable.

People with more standing than me can publicly make insinuations about my character through purposefully-vague subposts, but acknowledging that it's happening will always be seen as the greater offense. Just want the people weirdly monitoring me to know I am not intimidated by losers ✌️

Only halfway through watching this, but this might be one of the best reviews and most in-depth discussion of the movie I have watched yet.

Jake Slimeberg@jakesteinberg.substack.com

had to talk to @abrambuehner.bsky.social about the movie of the year left the theater with so many questions and not even sure I was asking the right ones youtu.be/EaHsPOLav10?...

Especially appreciate the distinction between being recognized and being helped. The language of "feeling seen" is so powerful it can occasionally obfuscate the need to alter material conditions

an idea everyone agrees to in theory but i rarely see practiced: disagreement as a form of recognition. Taking someone seriously means engaging with their ideas, not automatically affirming their understanding of themselves.

neat time talking to mikhail for this story! polymarket continues to inspire ennui

Polymarket is paying people to QRT its branded esports accounts on X. Players, coaches, and other prominent figures make hundreds or even thousands per month. “Literally this needs to look organic,” wrote a Polymarket rep on the Discord where this is organized. www.readergrev.com/p/polymarket...

"why are people making comments about the devs using Windows?" yeah I can't imagine why general audiences are unfamiliar with the aims of the BDS movement either it must be because they are stupid
