Whatever the next professional industry conference event looks like I hope it isn't more 101 level workshops, cyncial brain dumps and creeps accosting or drugging vulnerable people at or off venue.

very hard not to see the shift from traditional arcades to crane game emporiums as evidence of the degeneration of the world state

I think about this post a lot - whether you agree with its premise or not - because I really do think it's important for people to develop a radar growing up about what is and isn't real on the internet, especially given that old gens never did that and have almost no internet literacy whatsoever.

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

It costs a pretty paltry annual sum to support the Game Preservation Society, which has been doing the heavy lifting of safeguarding Japan's game history. It's a shame they're in such dire straits, so if you've got the ability to help support I highly recommend it.

Here is a comic I made a couple of years ago for #autismacceptancemonth about Autism and Trauma.
Although the impact is long lasting, it took a very long time to untangle and understand. I've met alot of ppl since posting this who have had a similar experience, and I'm glad we're not alone in that.

Good question Dedenne. I don't know what antihomless infrastructure is doing in our idyllic fantasy escapism game either.

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam.

A tremendous amount of work to convey a simple idea we so easily forget.

I mean... I get the intended message. But it would hit harder if God's favourite planetary system wasn't a picture of Andromeda and God's favourite galaxy wasn't a picture of the Perseus Cluster. I know getting photos of Earth is hard and all but meme maker could not have missed the target harder.

Uncomfortably but necessary reading...

I hear what you are saying. However, I would be remiss not to raise this counterpoint...

My timeline is predicting some people are going to absolutely crush those new years weight loss goals.

Great video. Answers a few of those questions I've always had since childhood but never thought to articulate. Main takeaway though is I need to find somewhere selling Jorden almonds so I can acquire some for Xmas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5Nk...

The yearly farce was much as expected. Too many bad skits. Interested in maybe 1/4 of the ads (which could have been announced anywhere). Some nice speeches this time around.
