Greetings, and welcome to the me: I'm a cheeky 32 year-old poly autistic demi-boy (he/they). I make games with @ppu512.bsky.social and I enjoy annoying people by reading too much into everything. Whatever “fun times” may bring, let it be brought!

Nova Assembly head Denis Federov says indie studios should look at alternatives to publishers. "Even experienced publishers are struggling to support independent projects. They prefer to play it safe and invest in projects with proven metrics and audiences" bit.ly/4AC8XoC

So HOMER3 was one of the best Simpsons Treehouse of Horror segments ever, right? What if they made a follow up where Homer and the family try to find their way back to eachother and end up lost between dimensions? Instead of parodying Twilight Zone’s Little Girl Lost, it parodies Backrooms. BOOM.

Even as Miliband said this, people outside the Labour conference were being arrested for demonstrating in solidarity with Palestine. Miliband later refused to meet with protestors. The Labour government's weak little noises about Gaza are pure hypocrisy and cynicism.

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

When you say 'all erotica is bad, no exceptions' you inevitably end up down the rabbit hole of conservatism where LGBT folks, queer culture and anything deemed 'strange' sexually is renounced and eventually banned through legal means.

But at what cost asks an Australian multinational investment banking and financial services group how is this sustainable asks an American global commercial real estate and property management services firm, one of the largest in the world
By volume, new home sales dropped by 8.7% last year, economists from the Macquarie financial group wrote in January, noting that there was “no end in sight” for the downward trend.The Chinese leadership has put stabilizing the housing market on its agenda, but analysts say that the central government – preoccupied by pushing tech advances – is not interested in seeing the sector return to its former prominence as an economic driver.

Zhang Xiaoduan, head of business development services for south and central China at real estate firm Cushman & Wakefield, noted a detachment between what authorities are wishing for and the reality on the ground.

“There’s still a gap between these signals and a real pickup in actual buying power across the market, or a rapid recovery driven by that demand,” she said.

The social media version of this is omnipresent and obviously disturbing, but this kind of shit has been a mainstay of Right Wing / antidemocratic/ fascistic movements. Before social media it was books, magazines, pamphlets, meetings, memberships, revivals. The same elements were present.

The key point is the phone as a “battlefield,” which is separate from the militaristic posturing. The subject is communicating a call for social media engagement under the guise of paramilitary violence. It heightens the environment of potential violence but is, at its core, just self-marketing.

This is a really fun example of radicalized Right Wing men are LARPing as paramilitary warriors in order to gain social media clout and increase profit while also radicalizing viewers to become violent in a feedback loop that’s already led to violence and increases the likelihood of future violence.
