clockwork bird @clockworkbird.bsky.social · 03/04/2025I don't need to imagine, Supergiant Games did it! In the game Hades, you meet Sisyphus and he's the sweetest guy and super supportive of your efforts to escape the underworld, and he has made friends with his boulder Bouldy. 0130

clockwork bird @clockworkbird.bsky.social · 12/01/2025I played Daybreak for the first time yesterday. We lost badly! There's a lot of game-design-as-rhetoric here. I also happily already recognize so many of the technologies and tactics in the game, and the gameplay is well designed to evoke their real world strengths and weaknesses. 120

![An image of black-on-white text describing this dialogue between Judge Reyes and a DOJ Attorney:
Reyes: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus'. Does that express animus?
DOJ Attorney: Not in any constitutional --
Reyes: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus?
DOJ Attorney: I don't have an answer for you.
Reyes: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it ... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military ... We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country ... calling them liars.
(Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of being a lawyer for the government". She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xenvrrsc6beyq2a5yeipn73p/bafkreibdh46444xl3mgbcyucvk5tabgbyowce7recq2ix32jsvu66oktqq)
