I'm watching my niece and she wants to watch one of those kid channels on YouTube and it's so clear that whoever is running production is pulling from the same libraries as Dropout because I just got the Starstruck theme from D20 playing over some slime
FUCK your thermostatic public opinion, FUCK every shitlib who wrote us off, FUCK the state department, and especially FUCK every American social media company you can all SUCK MY DICK
The problem with all the stuff I've been getting into is that they're all long series that have been around for awhile so I can't go looking for cool fan stuff without risking spoilers
Extremely funny to be told "If you want serious Actual Play go watch CR!" when complaining about CCoD and when I go to CR they hand wave multiple Nat 1's because people getting paid money to play a game didn't do prep
This was like the time my friend was like "Yeah I've been telling people my room is a bit of a goon cave since it's so dirty" and I had to be like, My Brother in Christ, that is Not what a goon cave is.
OUR DM DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A POLYCULE WAS HE'S BEEN TELLING PEOPLE HE'S GOING TO GO HOME AND GAME WITH HIS POLYCULE!! HE'S A DALLAS REAL ESTATE AGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trying to avoid spoilers but still trying to read between the lines of what people are saying about You Can See Everything and I've worked myself into a shoot that I'm about to see Nathan Fielder initiate a throuple
*NEW* Colossal Biosciences’ Ben Lamm and Anduril’s Palmer Luckey team up on a new startup to genetically engineer war dogs for the military. Warhound comes out of stealth at $1.2B valuation

New SEC filings show that Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to pay California’s billionaire tax without losing control of Meta.
So billionaires can afford to pay the tax? And they won't lose control of their companies or flee the state?
Don’t fall for billionaires’ propaganda. Vote YES on Prop 40.
Jaded with how much fandom spaces have become "LOOK! I SAW A THING IN REAL LIFE THAT WAS MENTIONED ONCE BY ONE PERSON IN THE SHOW/MOVIE/GAME/ETC!" I get It's all "let's have inside jokes so we can further our sense of community around this thing we like" but it's the equivalent of lol bacon to me
People want to blame graphical fidelity, scope expectations, etc etc etc for ballooning budgets and schedules when DA:V, a game with stylized visuals and constrained content expectations, "cost" however the fuck many hundreds of millions to come out because they made three games and shipped one
BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Idk anything about this PHP nonsense but there was definitely a branching path during the pandemic where I almost became a Homelab sicko so it's like I'm feeling the phantom fear of a live that never happened
"Every contribution, no matter the size, helps strengthen our collective ability to stand up for ourselves and one another. If you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is another powerful way to show your support."
I've been trying to get back in the habit of Tumblr but their algorithm is so strange it thinks I desperately need to see 20 opinions about 4chan from a year ago
These striking devs are not just fighting for their own quality of life, they’re fighting for all of us in the industry, to show that we as workers have the right to dignity, and a right to the billions of dollars our labor generates for our employers. I donated $100, who will match me?
Last week, after two years of bargaining attempts, members of Activision Quality Assurance United voted to authorize a potential strike.
If you want to support these workers in their standoff which stands to establish precedent and set baselines for the entire industry, now's your chance:
Why do we keep on doing this? Praising a 'small core team' for a game with 1100+ people in the credits is incredibly misleading.
This PR narrative hurts, hides the massive shadow workforce of outsourced developers and testers, and sets impossible standards for actual indie teams.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made by a core team of 75 people. "What we wanted to do was keep that core small, smaller than perhaps you might have done in the past, and scale capacity and capability with what we call distributed development." https://bit.ly/4hT02qg
The problem with knowing a lot of voice actors/seeing voice actors in live-action/irl projects is that once you hear their real voice and can tell it's them in a game "doing a voice" there's a little bit of that magic lost
Thinking about the timeline where Kyle Fletcher is in Clockwork Carnage instead of Darby but realizing that means I wouldn't have gotten the Bucks vs. Fletchknight which is an all-timer #AEWWrestledream
❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this.
Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.
Seeing people call Violet Deadlock a "gooner" because of three voice lines implying she finds other characters attractive and I don't think any of these people have met a truly Horny Person
and just like that I woke up to the news that I was nominated in the debut Bodega Comic Art Trophy (CAT) awards … it’s an honor … Honorary New Yorker …
the "you can't avoid AI, it's in all software now" argument might be true for infrastructure, where we have limited agency over the platforms and systems that make up our society, but is hilariously untrue for video games, a completely optional and easily ignored part of all of our lives
