Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here).

I hate this.
Acquaintance grabbed these screencaps. Idk if it's getting purged.

"Second stage is people rejecting conspiracy discourse" is genuinely hilarious, I gotta teach em a little about Yakub and maybe they'll change their tune

I will teach you to play EU5 for $7 this month. (Within what I can reasonably fit into my schedule, of course.)

Biggest discount we've ever offered for this tier.
Intimidated by EU5? We're offering a 30% off discount on your first month of the 3MA Patreon at the Discord Access tier and above, where @len.bsky.social can be your personal part-time tutor. Plus you'll get to hang out with our community of strategy experts!

It's finally here! @len.bsky.social, @rowan.monster, and @jonbolds.bsky.social set sail into Europa Universalis 5 to answer burning questions like, "Is it actually good?" and, "Is it even possible to evaluate it that straightforwardly at all at this point?"

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally.

Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event
1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.

His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

It has a very real chance of failing—and *even if it passes with changes* it still has to go BACK to the Senate to get voted on AGAIN. And it barely made it through the first time

This thing is way more killable than you’d think and the longer we can drag out the process the more killable it gets
If you just look at social media instead of news sources, you might believe the “big beautiful bill” has passed already.

It hasn’t. It still needs to go through the House, where it has a strong chance of failing — so yes, feel as sad and angry and scared as you need, but PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS.

Having played all of the original Death Stranding, and now hours into Death Stranding 2, I've *just now* realized those red marks on Sam's upper body are meant to be welts from where the backpack straps dig into his shoulders...

I've talked about this a lot with friends, but the influence and acceptance of gambling as a normal, everyday aspect of culture and design (not just in video games) is absolutely terrifying and subtly enormous. Slightly quieter, but just as pervasive and poisonous as AI seeping into everything.
Adventure games, poker and casinos don't 'overlap', you weirdos:

it is genuinely incredible that zohran's campaign completely annihilated the democratic commentariat and party cadre mainstreaming of the idea that you need to concede palestine and trans rights to the zionists and republicans to 'gather votes'. lmfaoooo

Sometimes you gotta be about something, talk to people, and every now and then meme a little.

I know that's hard if you've been the establishment forever and your soul has long since turned to dust, but y'alllllllllll.

Yeah, that's enough Blue Prince for me. Very cool concept, but I think I'm done waiting for the endless RNG to let me finally "solve" the puzzle I already figured out a real-world week ago and HOPING I have enough steps left to finish it this time.

we didnt set out to make a trans team we were florida men making game but trans people showed up loving qud and they were all amazing and we loved them and i lol when anyone says bad things about trans people because they are stupid dummies that dont know jack shit about the real world and its folk
The gaming press is kind of convinced that Brian and Jason made the game by themselves but of the 6ish people who regularly go to weekly standup, three of us are trans. Most of our Discord mods are trans. It's a trans game, that's just what happened

Judging by user reviews, the average Steam user believes that an Early Access game should be fully complete and stable, while complete and stable games should be constantly updating and adding new experimental features.

I think something has gone wrong here.

Extremely funny to me that Magic de-powered all of its female characters so hard that they needed to make an entire new set about one of them getting her girlfriend's powers back.

You don't TRULY understand how unusable the wider internet has become until you search "how to buy a Microsoft Office license," and the top five results are ads, followed by AI, followed by a Reddit thread with two deleted comments and and four replies that are ads made to look like replies.
