GTA as a series forgot how to be transgressive. like yawn more sad dad feelings? bring me a PTA mom on valium mowing down the husband's mistress in the rolls SUV. bring me an unhinged TV anchor botox-grinning thru her meltdown. bring me a fed up stripper shooting up the VIP room with elon musk in it

...What’s turned me off isn’t the increasingly shitty software or the endless price hikes. It’s Apple’s gross collaboration with the Trump regime.

I thought the worst so far was their public donation to build the Orange Czar’s new ballroom.

But it wasn't...
I might be done paying Tim Apple.
I know they don't need my money, but I need my self-respect.

Bing has blocked neocities and all user subdomains from its search index.

We’ve spent months trying to resolve this through official channels and gotten nowhere.

Until this gets resolved, we are recommending that people do not use Bing.

I do think there one key difference here: the console wars of the 90s didn't have whole ass cottage industry tied up in independent social media shitheads incentivized to turn the whole thing into a mini day time talk going show.
The console wars... So easily forgotten... Pretending like the rise of haters is some new invention and the entirety of late 2000s early 2010s video game discourse wasn't coming up with new compound slurs to describe the people who bought a different toy than you is revisionism at its finest

it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Introducing the first 15 units of my game, each with their own tiny 24x24 pixel mugshot. It was a challenge, but I’m pretty happy with how they turned out! 😅

Geoff Keighley attaching himself to the side of a project uninvited, like a giant barnacle, & bringing grief to the project's devs has been real sad to see. Just a guy who invented his own significance & swings it around an industry like a big stick, knocking over whatever happens to be in the way.

I think a lot about Parmy Olson's observation that AI companies actively push everyone to talk about existential risk, because it distracts from more prosaic current day concerns like copyright theft, conditions for data workers, energy & water use, and their financial situation

It’s so revealing how the attempted bombing isn’t bigger news in the Australian media cycle. It’s so clear how it matters less if the attacker is white and the intended victims primarily Aboriginal. The hierarchy of racism in Australia is so transparent
