I’ve talked people’s ears off about this before but dragon age 2 has two extremely cool elements that I haven’t see repeated much. One is the story told in a single, mutable location, and the other is the romance/rivalmance affection system

from an outside observer of american politics: people confused by why vivek ramaswamy thinks being vile & disgusting & brazenly sailing past moral cultural horizons with an ad that plays to hatred of women + contempt for rape survivors...did we all not see trump succeed doing exacty this?

jd vance continues to destroy his future presidential campaign. between his defence of vivek ramaswamy's ad + his response to the widower of a soldier deployed in the iran war, he is clearly a terrible political operator. i'm a longtime JD is never gonna be president believer & i will be vindicated

it's terrible politics bc trump's favourability is tanked, and vivek is rizzless but is this really a new low in how mainstream american politics treats women & children & their suffering? the epstein files says hello. maybe a new low for the political class but this is a wider culture of contempt

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

yeah i just worry about it with games, and indie games in particular - because social media is basically the only way people interface with the larger community, maybe outside of highly tense industry events. there isn't one workplace where people can have these conversations.

was talking about this at a workshop today — it distorts your thinking and work if you are constantly trying to brace against bad faith / paranoid reading. And in the attempt to satisfy people determined to misunderstand, it’s easy to fail to say anything meaningful to people who *do* want to

a late stage capitalism middle class feeling: the melancholia of having to buy a new vaccuum cleaner because you fucked up the research and bought a shit one. a mix of wasting-money shame and hopeless futility. you will never buy the correct vaccuum at the correct price, the world is a sunken place

I have called for the SoA to facilitate whistleblowing from staffers and authors alike, in the absence of voluntary transparency. I would also like publishers to explain why, if they believe GenAI use is either ethical and valuable, they aren't prepared to say how they're using it.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Jensen Huang is a piece of shit. Every hyperscaler CEO is too. These scumbags drove the price of everything up so that they could all help Jensen Huang make more money. We did not need him to build all these GPUs. He just wanted to sell them to boost earnings. Ugly.

meghna jayanth reposted

This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com

NVIDIA seems to be channel stuffing, forcing Amazon and other customers to take early delivery. The argument that these things are "scarce" when you don't even have anywhere to plug them into is nonsense...unless NVIDIA is saying you NEED to take them now, or else. GPUs are stacked in warehouses.

Gatekeeping is often good actually quite a lot of the time and although people frequently fail or refuse to understand why it's usually at least in part a project of preserving the value of the work people are already contributing in a community or space.
