We're hitting the streets today to protest this POS and our prime minister's baffling decision to cozy up to war criminals
'Herzog is not a “moderate” diplomat; he is a leader of a genocidal government, responsible for the ongoing destruction of Palestinian people in Gaza and the Occupied Territories.'
~ Green Left
'Mr Herzog has “full immunity” as a foreign head of state.'
~ AFP Assistant Commissioner Stephen Nutt

Finally got round to watching @pixeladay.bsky.social's video on Blue Prince. Really good, comprehensive portrait of one person's attempt to make sense of a fascinating and often brilliant game that nonetheless has kinda bad puzzle design

Context may help here... the original post is referring to Hasan, who criticised Kamala but did vote for her. He didn't abstain, he did the harm reduction thing (hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils). The poster is still not happy because he criticised her.

Being even slightly better than the other guy means you can't be criticised. If the other guy makes a policy to eat 1000 faces, make a policy to eat 999 faces and you're good

If you criticise both major parties for hurtling to the right it's somehow your fault the country ended up hurtling to the right

Final bump for my new video. What does Mouthwashing feel like to play, what makes it creatively unique, what does it have to say about abuse and complicity, and what on Earth does a company mascot have to do with any of it??

Just watching the tennis and realising that the Kazakhstan flag reminds me of the colour palette of In Other Waters and I like that

I can see by the lack of reposts that either no one here has seen the film or no one agrees with me
As an OG fan of the 28...Later films ever since I saw 28 Days Later in the cinema as a 14 year old and it ruined me, it makes me very happy that the franchise is still thriving and doing cool stuff, that said Bone Temple is not as good as the previous one and everyone saying that is tripping

Imagine how bad the Internet Brain has to be to not realise 30,000 is actually a large number of people

As though so many critics aren't harrassed on a daily basis and aren't self-censoring CONSTANTLY based on what the worst-faith reception to our work will be (those who haven't been driven out of the space entirely). My dude only needed to run his thoughts by one woman games critic. Just one.

Sorry I know I'm contributing to the outrage machine here, but god I'm just baulking at the idea that games critics need to be MORE aware of how negatively gamers feel about us and our work, that we are somehow oblivious to it. "Did you know many people don't like your criticism of Game?" My guy.
Here's one I got just last week! This is a pretty typical one actually. The cruelty from commenters is incredible and constant. People who have never created anything in their life going, "Hey, I noticed ONLY 30 thousand people have seen the thing you made. That's not much. You kinda suck huh"

But the idea that a low-effort Metacritic-style rating system would encourage LESS casual cruelty? My man

I know!! XD If you think someone's take was bad, make your own video/blog post/whatever with your reasons about why it was bad. It's called discussion. Nothing is stopping this from happening, and in fact it happens all the time

Extremely funny to somehow not be aware that the most rancid, cruel, soul-calloused people in this space are not games critics but the reply guys who mass harrass and dox them
