oh shit, I don't know if I posted this here yet, but I'm writing a game? (nothing announced yet)

What Remains of Edith Finch (2017)

I need good news. Share good news if you've got some?

You know what? I wish I could get paid for gassing up the homies.

ah this is LOVELY

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

Jeremy Lewin killed hundreds of thousands without a signed employment agreement.

Habibi, come on. We cannot have Mike Rogers back in Congress. We can win this for Abdul, but we’ll need your help:

Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

blocking just isn’t a super serious thing, it doesn’t have to be saved for a massive transgression “I didn’t enjoy interacting with this person on the internet” is a perfectly good reason now you won’t find each other annoying anymore, everyone wins

We, internationally, need to do exactly what the Brazilians did and lead by example with: 1) Block all far right figures/accounts 2) Never share a far right account even to dunk on them 3) Never reply to a far right account even to dunk on them Completely cut their algorithmic advantage

If you believe in journalism that elevates workers and holds power to account, I encourage you to support Vertical Slice. The site is 16 days old and already making an impact, but paid subscribers are our bedrock. Back the work that matters to you! www.verticalslice.news/limited-time...

been saying this - the art form of videogames needs to be decoupled from the market in a way that it has never truly been before.

I'm begging my American friends to resist your urge to "get the last word" and chase rage bait for clout and just STOP reposting alt-right bullshit

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

"Gas is $7 a gallon and you can't afford to live in LA and we won't give you a raise. Also we don't have enough office space for all these people we're about to lay off by Christmas anyway. But to us at the Skydance family? That's just the joy of being story tellers and visionaries. 🥲"

WHAT IN THEE ABSOLUTE FUCK www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/m...

LORD I HAVE SEEN WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR OTHERS

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

Politics hits different when you're an "issue" instead of a citizen

So here you go ... Thank you again to my friends at both BioWare and EA. To even dream in your sandbox was a privilege. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBO8...

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

it’s gonna be a rocky path through and through

We’re fucked because the shift is exponential. It crept in over decades and is now skyrocketing in pace and devastation as line shoots up, maybe. And marginalized people around the world have been yelling about it forever)

there are 2 kinds of executives: those that want to make money, and those that want to do everything in their power to win the mega lottery, and the latter has pushed out the former at every major corporation because that’s how capitalism is gonna go

could use all the good vibes; i interviewed with a place today that seems tentatively pretty interesting, but there's a couple of other people vying for the same spot, as always

(focusing your rage on those responsible instead of pining for a series that's long in the dirt might be more productive for you in the long run)

like I seriously don't think people understand how this shit works, and if they do they're hoping we don't every time you use AI, you train it. that's why it's been free or cheap up until recently despite it's insane cost, they need that volume of training input. But since AI is just a sorting-

It's weird seeing AI bubbles across the world begin to collapse in real-time because AI continually needs more input to function, every time it's used its trained and becomes shittier, but nobody's writing their own code now, so it's a death spiral for everyone who needs claude to work

It would be lovely if the video games industry would let the people who make the games buy food

Immigrants make our country better. Abolish ICE. Abolish DHS.

Oh great an article about how to stay healthy when traveling… with zero mentions of wearing a mask. Public health is a joke.

I still remember tantrums from childhood neighbors and friends, accusations from classmates, disbelief from teachers, snide comments from co-workers. All because I had the nerve to not only do what was expected of me, but also to do it well. While also not being allowed to express anger about it.

It is, sadly, a universal experience of being Black (child or adult) in this country that any bit of excellence over white peers is immediately seen as "suspect" or "unfair" and how quickly they will appeal to an authority figure about it. And also, how it fucking wears you down, every time. 😡
