A single vermin in a foreign country has direct control of what billions of people across the globe see, with no oversight even during an election. No democracy can resist this. Zuckerberg is the modern Goebbels, hopefully he'll have the same end as his predecessor.

Don't forget that aside from being a war profiteering shitstain, Palmer Luckey is also trying to sell you a knock off Game Boy and N64 built on other peoples FPGA work. Don't let garbage like this into the retro gaming scene.

This is a nice article, I would just add the angle of accessibility - Pokémon is a global phenomena but original games are very expensive to play and only available in a few languages. So it's no surprise a lot of people get introduced to the games via translation hacks and fangames on PC & Android

Tweet by merman_melville: Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

I feel the rest of the world (Americans included) have no idea of how aggressively the US is pushing to make Latin America into a giant colony. Every day we get news about political interference, increase in military presence, absurd trade demands, online propaganda, Venezuela being pillaged, etc
Headline from one of Brazil's biggest newspapers that reads: 
Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) warns the government and the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) about the 'critical' level of escalating US pressure against Brazil in the elections.

It has been a while since I've given a shout-out to Corru Observer. It remains one of the coolest things you can play in your browser. Initially, a xenofiction visual novel. You're a hacker, tasked with infiltrating the mind of an alien biocomputer dredged up from the ocean floor. It goes places.

This is why self-determination is absolutely vital. And it's why I despise Americans who watch something on Fox News, Jon Oliver or TikTok and start talking about "helping those people". That's exceptionalism brain rot - you're not the "world police", you're an invader, a pillager, a colonizer.

O fato de todo jogo Kingdom Hearts ser essencial pra história escancara demais a distinção entre quem gosta de jogar videogame e quem só quer consumir mídia. Não é sobre curtir a coisa, é sobre marcar no Letterboxd. "One Piece dá pra deixar rolando de fundo" é a cereja no bolo da bizarrice.
Comentário no YouTube: "Concordo em gênero, número e grau com TUDO o que o Dias falou. É complicado alguém ter que dedicar mais de 3000 mil horas pra jogar TUDO da série só pra poder entender o que vai acontecer no KH4. E a comparação com One Piece não é válida, porque videogame exige interação constante da pessoa, enquanto que um anime você simplesmente deixa de fundo rolando enquanto tá fazendo outras coisas, assiste durante o intervalo do trabalho ou vê enquanto tá no transporte voltando do trabalho.
PH, como fã da série, emocionou demais aí nesse comentário."

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

"Facism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike."
User dratsab huffman asks the question:

To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism".

Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?Recalcitrant Jester replies:
Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

Criado por Roberta Williams, que praticamente inventou os jogos narrativos modernos, Phantasmagoria ousou falar de feminicídio em 1995, causando controvérsia e chegando a ser banido de alguns países. À frente ao seu tempo, o jogo dialoga fortemente com a crise de misoginia dos dias atuais.

This is so, so well-articulated.
People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

Itzu the Tak @itzu.bsky.social · 19/03/2026
Itzu, an alien known as a Tak, walks up the steps of some pillared building in the ancient Greek style. In one hand he has a lit match. In the other, a can of gasoline, so full it drips. Behind him, more Tak, in various states of distress, run to intercept him.

Above Itzu is a quote from the 2000 video game Deus Ex, via deus_ex.txt (@deus-ex-txt.bsky.social):
"I guess anyone can be a terrorist, if you think about it."

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!
From the article: 
"I think that until the bubble bursts, AI will be used by quite a few game companies, and perhaps even beyond the bubble," says Brandon Sheffield of Necrosoft Games, which released the RPG Demonschool last year. "Look, I am not a fool – I understand that AI has some uses. Primary among those being the devaluing of work, the cheapening of labour, the laying off of creatives, and the generation of busywork for humans to fix whatever AI generates."

"It's also useful for burning through water, raising the prices of RAM and chipsets globally, and poisoning anyone near the data centres that run them. So there are a lot of use cases for AI. From spurring on the death of the creative endeavour to dissolving our economy, AI is absolutely gangbusters at what it does. We don't use it in our studio though."

Sci-fi that deals with questions of artificial consciousness is interesting because it's pushing us to think about what it means to be human. It functions as a metaphorical mirror. Being shocked by a computer programmed to play pretend reflects on us too, but not in a particularly flattering way
