Consider The Woodchipper by @edgarallanbro.bsky.social CW: sexual assault, rape "Let me be clear: you are not a victim of what Geller did." Read on:

Exactly. I am tired of seeing the “I always knew”/“their work was actually bad” takes whenever allegations emerge. Sometimes—often, actually!—bad people find their way into good spaces and make good things. And you’re not better than the folks who were taken advantage of for “always knowing”

For those who wanted to know if there were records of it, Geller's disciplinary actions from UNC are documented on the internet archive

Wild that it took multiple women in the industry, and beyond, sharing a ResetEra thread to get this in front of people's eyes. That should never be the case. Absolutely abhorrent at all levels.

DLSS 5 is just a lighting pass and not an ai hallucin--

My first piece for @kotaku.com sees me document the rather surreal experience of demoing a game funded by a government that would have me executed for being trans. kotaku.com/the-1001-thr...

I heard Spider-Man was beating up fascists at a rally and thought that was rad. Never give up hope in a world that makes you think there’s none left. Someone’s fighting for you, even if they’re wearing spandex. #spiderman #spidermanart #splitmantra

Look there's a lot of terrible things about unemployment. The worthlessness, the money concerns, etc. But the worst thing, above all else, is cover letters.

this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

I think it’s so awesome how many people developed a disease where they think that giving someone 20 dollars means you are now their indentured servant. They think they’re shark tank & making a big investment and not someone who bought a toy that said “work in progress” and already played with it.

my thoughts are catalogued in my half-finished Disco Elysium script that you should guilt me into working on

i often think about this review

We did it, lads. We banned trans people from toilets. Now to sit back and watch house prices come down and vegetables stop rotting on supermarket shelves and we'll all come together and feast on Cadbury's Creme Eggs as big as your head, m'boy, And we'll watch Morecambe and Wise, who did NOT die

man... people are super normal when you criticize a three trillion dollar corporation allegedly helping facilitate a genocide and its gaming sub-brand that is mostly good at producing polished games and then laying off the people that made them

Obviously buying a game or not is immaterial as a sociopolitical act but it’s really crazy to see people who supposedly bought into Disco Elysium’s themes falling over themselves for that new ZA/UM game.

I dunno. Maybe because that's a stupid thing to want?

If the games industry had the power to make certain games a cultural phenomena with global hit sales, it would so all the time. However, the games industry cannot even agree on what "alpha" means

No, you don’t have to like everything you come across, but we cannot keep using art to psychoanalyze random people, artist or audience. More people need to be comfortable with simply admitting that they don’t like a thing and that’s okay. You don’t need to prove it’s evil to have an opinion.

“Labour will always back you” says man who has already demonstrated the contempt & hatred in which he holds you, your disabled child, your trans sibling, your migrant partner, your Palestinian friends, your nan & your job-seeking parent. Fuck off.

GameStop’s CEO struggles to answer the question of how his company worth $12B can afford to buy eBay for $56B. This is amazing television.

Just watch the show in the order it came out

There’s this impulse to tell people who have no money that the data doesn’t support that and aside from often not accounting for rising costs and thus being wrong it is a weirdly bloodless way to approach the idea that offers no real solutions.

You know we can all see this, right

This article is great! hamirapingpong.neocities.org/posts/2026-0...

good post

I played the long con with @tolkoto.com and it paid off beautifully while recording the newest episode of @fireescape.bsky.social.

Hundreds of millions of people live close enough to data centres used to power AI to feel warmer average temperatures in their local area

Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance. Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf. #epicgames
