These are the same people who would have brought smallpox blankets and strychnine snacks into Indigenous communities in the height of colonialism.

As long as they alone come out on top, it's a viable tool to them. Playing with trans lives is a day ending in Y to them
I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

A complete and thorough sex education — consent and kink to reproduction and pleasure — needs to be taught in years 7 to 9 (middle-school for you Yanks)

Abstinence only increases the chance of grooming, teen pregnancy and SA'lt. If the kids know, they can protect themselves
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The corporate death penalty.

If companies are legally people and we choose to legally execute people for certain crimes, we should be able to liquidate/nationalize a company when they commit similar crimes.

Jazz up your economic crisis by giving everything fun little names.

It's not "working two jobs," it's "polyworking."

Still convinced this is a problem in the design. HOWEVER!

Equally important, but able to be worked around, is the communication issues in combat. Basically, Henry is an interpolation of a historical reenactor.

Your skill ceiling is only as high as his. But, once you work that out, the game flows
I know I'm way far late to this... but! Kingdom Come: Deliverance is NOT how you do adversarial game design.

It's skullfuckingly annoying to get killed *en route* to an objective by a 1v4 ambush... and get sent back 2-3 hours, only to blunder into another 1v4 ambush trying to retrace your steps

Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

If someone, anyone has to auction off pieces of their own life story to pay for medical treatment and care, then that is proof positive that the system is irrevocably broken and needs to be replaced with something that isn’t based on profit via the infliction of cruelty.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing.

Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.*

Shit on a shingle, #auspol, can you deal with the Neo-Nazis?

Or are you too ashamed to admit you'd be locking family and friends up?

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.

If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

Pls, don't do that. Meds don't allow you to safely mingle. Even if you think Covid is over (it isn't), it taught us how & why to protect ourselves, one another.

Whether it's Covid, RSV, flu, or cold: We don't infect others. We stay at home, wear a mask indoors or in company, disinfect hands.
