Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Actonโ€™s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Iโ€™ve never really been that into sports. Iโ€™ll occasionally watch socially or for major events, but on the whole just not that into the scene. Can someone please explain why, after all the allegations of sports betting affecting game outcomes, there isnโ€™t more pushback? Is it too big of a problem?

Iโ€™d be willing to reconcile if my parents and sisters would just accept me and my husband. I still love my family, but I cannot stand their rejection of my relationship and my marriage. This has been the most difficult and painful thing Iโ€™ve ever had to do. To imply callousness is to be ignorant.

One thing you learn from reading the academic literature on parental estrangement is that it's rarely *just* about events from childhood. Most adults are willing to reconcile with their problematic parents as long as they can acknowledge their mistakes and own up to them. A lot of them refuse.

These stupid assholes are nazis. Plain and simple.

Hey! So after seventeen and a half years, October 2nd will be my last day at IGN. It was genuinely a dream come true to do this thing for so long alongside some of the most talented people on earth. I got to travel the world, meet my heroes, and make a ton of really fun shows and videos. An honor โ™ฅ๏ธ

We must never forget those we lost and those who still suffer today.

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

Adventures of Elliot is a contender for my game of the year. I thoroughly enjoyed it, feeling a connection to its world and characters. If thereโ€™s ever a game that speaks to this moment weโ€™re all living through, itโ€™s this game. Hope is always there.

Getting a physical copy of Elliot was trickier than I thought. Neither my local Walmart or the closest GameStop had any physical copies, so I ordered from Amazon. Odd with how much marketing this game received to get such a limited physical release.

Had a dream that a prologue game to Kingdom Hearts IV was released in two parts, each part being $50. The parts were like episodes and released within a day of each other. You know youโ€™re growing up when your dreams have you considering payment options while youโ€™re asleep.

Been seeing tons of posts showing off people's physical game collections after yesterday. There are tons of us out there that want physical media.

Man, if there was ever a bigger indicator of the disconnect between upper and lower level society, Sonyโ€™s stock went up yesterday. Biggest anti-consumer announcement in the history of video games, shareholders are happy.

I made a video months ago about why I would still be buying game key cards for Switch 2 and today's news is an unfortunate reminder that I'd like to hold on to any semblance of physical media that I can WHILE I still can. Don't like key cards but I will buy them if it is my only option over digital.

I know the topic has been talked about to death but I wanted to talk about my slightly less negative opinions on Switch 2 game key cards.... So I made a video discussing those opinions. Check it out if you'd like! youtu.be/ZYAWYv6PHVI?...

Microsoft this week: We're laying off half the industry. Sony: We're ending physical games. Nintendo: have u seen this splatoon weapon we call it the bloblobber

I knew GTA 6 being digital only was an indicator, but I had hoped PlayStation would at least wait until the start of the next generation with all PS6 games being digital. Cutting the PS5 off from physical games is cruel with so many folks, including me, having the disc drive PS5.
