It's kinda sad to me how Apple Arcade was supposed to be able to facilitate non-gacha/live service/money gouging games on mobile, but it has slowly just become the place for those games with all of their progression blockers awkwardly ripped out.

if anyone had actually given a shit about 'ethics in game journalism' the egregious examples were directly under their noses. but like all the fascist misdirection acts it inspired, gamergate was simply a premise to radicalize young men to the right by lathering outrage over a false premise

-- we now know that bobby kotick was an epstein pal! but sure, the problem was writers covering non-commercial works by diverse emerging artists simply out of deep affection for the medium and sincere desire for alternatives to that swath of corporate shit

the stupid thing was: the consumer games press DID have unethical marketing mouthpiece relationships with the industry. the e3 / spike tv / actiblizz / doritogate conglomerate and the payola-dominated masculine corporate culture had a stranglehold on what got made and how it could be discussed --

Did You Know? All our FREE games have an optional donation DLC, which adds a gold sticker to the title screen. People see that sticker and know you make good decisions. They trust you. They would die and/or kill for you. Such purpose you could put them towards! Such terrible, unassailable purpose!

Ok it is obvious that people fake engagement with bots, and that this is often done for political reasons, but the reality is that there are tens of millions of republicans in america, the number of people who would vote for Trump is even larger, and as elections show, these people really exist

When I was young there was this decent hit. Title was, I thought, “Rain” since that was the big title belted out for a good five seconds each chorus. But I barely could remember any lyrics. I knew one line solidly. But no searching found it.

I really don’t think anyone is thinking of what post Trump will actually be. There is literally nothing salvageable from the wreckage of journalism or the American federal government. They are total write-offs. What comes after is a decades long drunken stagger of trying to build something new up.

Israel's horrific, in your face conduct, combined with the suppression of antizionist criticism by pro-Israel political and social elites, has created a kind of cognitive permission structure to deny that Jews face any oppression whatsoever.

Yes Margaret, the dates on the graph go from 1890 to 2000, but you'll notice the curve's lowest point and the plateau at the top happen between ~1910 and ~1940, so roughly 30 years. Obviously not even factoring in how "lgbt" didn't spring out of nowhere suddenly 5-10 years ago, you're just ignorant

Some TERF found my left handedness curve post and was like "heh, but that graph shows 100+ years whereas LGBT happened entirely in a single generation". And I don't know if there's a more perfect example of how TERFism is born out of an aggressively arrogant brand of ignorance.

D&D is mostly a combat system with poor mechanics for anything else; but most D&D players still do the ‘anything else’ for most of their sessions and it works fine! Mechanics dictate play, but also, it may be mechanics just don’t matter!
