the crazy thing about this trend is how badly this exposes that these people have the same attachment and awareness of video games as scalpers do for pokemon

The narrative that vibecoding is going to usher in a new flood of emulation is less accurate than just admitting that all of the barriers between platforms have been fake since basically the PS4.

A jeopardy question: "pedants argue about whether this verb should be used as a synonym of its 7-letter dictionary neighbor compose."

The answer is comprise, which I was complaining about pedantically in the post to which Ken Jennings made the below reply.

"The majority of those let go when DF became independent had been organizing for a union and those that didn't get got are telling the press they fear retaliation and are looking for a new job" is such a concise indictment of DF management no matter what they say.

I'm gonna be real I unfollowed Juniper after the frankly mean spirited posts about the gay choirs keyed me off that she was all about performative dunking, so seeing the mask slip with antisemitism (apparently not even the first time?) doesn't even shock me, really, but it's still distressing.

I understand why tempers are high considering it's been 3 years since October 7 and the acceleration of the genocide, but I am pretty concerned at how normalized the rhetoric has been ramping up to straight-up antisemitism instead of just rightfully criticizing and condemning Israel

this article is really good with a lot of well researched interviews and perspectives and context as to what was going on in the studio. but sometimes. sometimes there's really only one sentence that speaks louder than all the others

You know Atlus didn't write the Heaven Burns Red collab because the Persona characters didn't make fun of the protagonist for being openly gay.

The thing about Digger is that it feels like there's so many different layers on display, but in reality it's just the one and when you realize which layer that is it instantly all clicks into place. You could not have timed it better as WB's last film before the merger.

HEAVY SPOILERS but this clicking makes Digger my film of the year I think. Immediate reactions were I thought it was messy, but no it was very clearly hiding the point of it all under an avalanche of everything else so you would miss the forest for the trees in a way that recontextualize everything.

James GHOULizio 👻 @theswweet.myatproto.social · 09/10/2026
Definitely gotta simmer on it a bit because the more I think about Digger the more I'm starting to understand what it was going for and being able to calcify what I liked about it and what it does well is making me think it might be the movie I've engaged with the most this year?

Messy film but in an interesting way that I don't quite know what the intended takeaway was, not exactly?

At this rate it feels like the game is going to launch in Summer 2027 instead of when it was supposed to and was announced as.

I've just learned that Freeplay has removed me as a sponsor for Parallels due to an accusation from a speaker that I am a "zionist". Where did the speaker get this idea? Because Unpacking was included in a listicle in an online Jewish publication a few days ago. I didn't even know about the article.

Yeah, somebody literally tried to contact the comms head and found out they're fired after talking calmly to Aaron didn't help. So Aaron Rodericks has literally no comms oversight or management over him.
