for the life of me… how is:
“cringe game. made by a liar…” and bringing up my r*pist an acceptable review for a game that a moderator cleared??
i tried to flag it again but it won’t let me.
steam reviews that are personal attacks, and not at all about the game, are ok? how?

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣
![Screenshot of an email:
Subject: [PIPEXP-1192] Login Access Request
To: me
Good morning Kimberly! =^uwu^=;;
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble logging into Jellyfin! It looks like your SSO account was indeed deactivated on 2025 Dec 15.
According to our records,
1. On or about 2025 Nov 15, you were broken up with by ___, who noted this as a “final break” on vis event report sheet. I’m also seeing that Ve ticked the “Unilateral” box, meaning it isn’t contestable.
2. Our Salesforce shows you aren’t close to any other polycule members
Unfortunately, our solo-poly access policy doesn’t allow us to extend resources to unpartnered members after the 30 day grace period following your break. This includes entertainment resources (Jellyfin / *darr / nzbget / Pornhub for Enterprise™ seat), as well as O365™, Adobe CC™, and shell access on the Nix clusters. We’re so sorry for your loss, cutie!! 😭💜
If you have any questions, you can reply to this email to generate another ticket, or you can contact zzzoeee@ from our Partner Infra team (note: three Zs and three Es in their LDAP, we have a lot of Zoes here!)

Regards,
___ (🏳️⚧️she/her, UTC -5)

As a courtesy, a copy of this email has been sent to your manager listed in Workday™
New name or pronouns? Dating someone new? Just visit go/update-me to update your account!

Horses, the Most Controversial Game of the Year, Doesn’t Live Up to the Hype
First it was banned. Then its sales blew up. But Horses fails to meet the lofty goals of its own ideas.

Extremely cool that GitHub doesn't tell you when:
- GitHub pages is removed, as it's on a private repo and your Pro expired
- someone takes your old subdomain and points it to a shady gambling site
Anyway, my blog is down until I get it on a new web host 😭 thank you @slimelia.uk for the heads up!

If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people
Puzzmo — The (new) place for thoughtful puzzles.
Re-imagined mainstays like the daily Crossword Puzzle, modern classics like Really Bad Chess and SpellTower, and even a few brand new puzzles.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

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.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
