Tonight I finally got the Xbox360 controllers working again so I could boot up my absolute favorite racing game of all time "Blur", and ho damn it did not disappoint. Muscle memory from 16 years ago kicking right back in

US folks - call your reps TODAY and tell them to oppose KOSA. If you don't want to be forced to use your legal ID on the Internet, or let the US govt have a hand in censoring content they deem "inappropriate", make your voice heard. 5calls.org/issue/kids-o...

Text: Congress has again put forward legislation aimed at controlling what content children see online, known as the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). During the previous congressional term in 2024, the bill passed the Senate but then failed in the House due to Republican leadership fears that it may be used to silence certain political views. While the bill’s sponsors claim that changes were made to the text to address the widespread concerns that KOSA would censor internet content and instigate lawsuits, the language of the bill is still dangerously vague and open to interpretation by the government.

KOSA requires online platforms to take steps to mitigate harm to children, but while lawmakers claim it would prevent kids from seeing inappropriate content online, KOSA would instead be weaponized by both the government and tech companies to police legal speech online. The law would be interpreted and enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which the Trump administration has stacked with partisan commissioners. Trump’s FTC has already launched political investigations into media organizations who cover Trump unfavorably and has signaled interest in helping conservative advocates block content about abortion rights, gender-affirming care, and more conservative priorities. Tech companies in turn would simply move to comply in advance and censor content themselves to avoid FTC action.

Trans people are harming no one. They aren't starting wars, they aren't stealing tax dollars for vanity projects, they aren't destroying democracy, they aren't undoing health and safety standards for corporate cronies. The people making these fucking laws are the ones doing all that.

my one big takeaway from this years pile of Showcases is that Unreal Engine 5 has co-opted or sort of, I dare say, polluted the visual language of games, where nothing stands out theres a kind of mediocrity that comes with being "photorealistic I guess". PBR substance everywhere, but not distinct

The "Legacy of the Sith" finale is live! It's been a privilege to help shape the 4+ years of this @swtor.com chapter alongside our incredible team. It's tough to make a game these days, but we took every challenge and setback in stride. Everyone who touches this project does so with love 💜 MTFBWY!

Best advice on networking: Focus on being interested not interesting. People who are the loudest in the room are NOT the people you want to network with.
