Reddit’s algorithm is so annoying cause it recommends me posts from the 2XKO subreddit with people saying “yeah man 2XKO is soooooo much better than Marvel Tokon” and I could not care less. Its either a psyop from Riot or its coping from fans because 2XKO isn’t as popular

Favorite old youtube trend was when there was a game, movie, tv show, etc and someone makes a video titled "honest review" when they were reviewing said game, movie, tv show, etc. As if to imply all the other reviews were somehow dishonest.

Tiktok algorithm turning to shit is just leaving me with baby-brained takes about how The Pitt is badly written cause the characters have flaws. Frustrating to say the least

it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

tuned into mainstream American news stations to see what the deal is and of course they're reporting it as business as usual, and not insane colonial overreach with no logical pretense. not sure why I'd hoped for more. this country has a deep sickness.

When I went to Tehran in 2018 for a game conference I hung out with game nerds, music weirdos, and queer folks with tattoos and colored hair, just like I do here. We got vegetarian food and watched goofy uncles play basketball in the park. I sure hope they can live to see a better day.

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime. You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

As an Iranian I have no sympathy for Shapiro

Travis@someforeignfield.bsky.social

So it's ok to start a war illegally against a nation of 92 million, for whom you have "no sympathy" as long as the purpose is clear? The Big Dem line that Trump is a demented fascist domestically while simultaneously agreeing his foreign policy decisions just isn't gonna cut it anymore.

Keep my countries’ name out of your god damn mouth you war criminal pig

Drop Site@dropsitenews.com

Israeli PM Netanyahu, wanted for war crimes by the ICC, said Israel “strongly condemns the mass slaughter of innocent civilians” in Iran. He said he is “closely monitoring developments in Iran,” expressing hope that the “Persian nation will soon be freed” from the current government.

I hate to do a both sides enlightened centrist take but it genuinely annoys me when talking about the Iranian protests you have leftists on one side declaring all the protests as CIA/Mossad and the other side you have pro-Israeli right wing mother fuckers who say some of the most heinous shit.

I'm not gonna begrudge any commentator for taking the job (everyone gotta eat) but seeing big names like Max and Sajam taking a stand is heartening

GamePulse News@gamepulsenews.bsky.social

A prominent commentator in the fighting game community, Sajam, has announced he will not participate in future EVO events following its acquisition by the Saudi government.

I don't love being smug about anything except towards people who claimed trump is anti-war. Like between the current Venezuela shit that he is stirring as well as that airstrike on Iran, people cannot reasonably claim that he is anti-war. But also fuck the democrats for making him seem anti-war

2XKO is honestly the worst modern fighting game I've played. Like holy shit its so annoying. No proper matchmaking so I'm stuck with getting annihilated by people way better than me. Yasuo just existing and can take out an entire team by himself. How is this even close to release?

I already get annoyed playing SF6 cause I suck and that game has an overwhelming mental stack. But at least its balanced for the most part and has proper matchmaking. Don't know why so many fighting games are allergic to that

Oh also the control scheme is just stupid. One button inputs for specials and having two different special move buttons means that my controller is overwhelmed by buttons and I have to use all 8 of my attack buttons on leverless for all the options that I can use in this game.

the shooter was an online gamer. it's important for newsrooms to understand video games more than ever. that's where i step in. so umamusume: pretty derby (ウマ娘 プリティーダービー) is a gacha horse racing simulator based on real life japanese race horses. in the world of umamusume, anime girls replace horses,

Like honestly its just classic goonerbait advertising. I think its mostly indistinguishable from the old Carl's Jr ads

The Sydney Sweeney blue jeans thing is clearly about being horny, not an endorsement of eugenics. Some of you need to go outside and touch grass.
