Remember: When you playtest a game, never take players’ feedback/suggestions at face value. Figure out what emotion is underneath what they’re telling you, and then figure out what in the game is causing that emotion

There is no social penalty for opposing ICE and Democratic leadership is blind to that fact.
I know people like to dunk on wearing tiny "ICE OUT" pins, but I think they represent a really important culture shift. Even people who are very conscious about their image and expected to perform in a palatable way are wearing them in very public places.
New York Fashion Week Joins the “ICE OUT” Movement: “It Changes Hearts and Minds”
From designers to front-row regulars, the industry is rallying behind a growing campaign against ICE. Organizers and participants tell ‘Marie Claire’ why this moment matters.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

Fantastic thread from Katrina! Here's some video game examples to back up what she's saying. If a video game translated in 1990 (which had one of the Japanese developers checking every single line to confirm accuracy) can manage to properly translate 「」, so can you! (thread: 1/10)

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

for those unaware, gta5 also had two other major factors pumping its numbers that 6 will lack, meaning these forecasts are based on data that isn't truly representative of demand

like maybe i'm underappreciating the hype that usually follows GTA. GTAV *apparently* made like 10 billion dollars, but that was over its total lifespan. and if Matthew Ball's market analysis is anything to go by, growth has flattened out *or* going parabolic long-term.

Good stream tonight! Cleared most of the second visits and beat our first Absent Silhouette.
Next stream is on Friday, where I'll be wrapping up the Disney worlds (including Atlantica and Hundred Acre Wood). Should be a bunch of funny fun for everyone.

Is it good or bad that an agency that is technically involved in law enforcement is using ideas from the serial killer playbook?
A female ICE thug posing as a distressed motorist in neighborhoods of Brooklyn Park (63% non-white), MN, to entrap good samaritans. This is the same MO Ted Bundy used to lure his victims to their demise.

Taking bets now- when she inevitably goes mask-off, who is the Second Story going to blame for the decline of fiction- Queer folks, or racial minorities?
Personally going with LBGTQ+ people because Catholic, but it could go either way because there is no way woman hasn't dropped a Hard R.

Monster romances have taken the world by storm, but a number of grifters point to them as proof of our society's collapse.
