Three indie games, three different takes on a digital nightmare. While Proximate, Without a Dawn, and Dead Letter Dept. differ in their approaches, the takeaway is the same: our very perception of the world has been warped by systems outside our control. youtu.be/0zxQ9YAzy00

Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth"
Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem

The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.
That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.
In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

The far-right mouthpiece who told young men to clean up their place while in front of his very clearly messy home, now has contracted an illness from all the mold in his home.

If you wrote such a fascist character in a story it would be deemed a silly caricature.

Jordan Peterson diagnosed with chronic condition after exposure to mold

Peterson's daughter said her father has a "genetic predisposition that causes the immune system to have an inability to identify and detoxify mold."

This isn't about porn or gooner brain or whatever, it's not even about looks, this is about power. They don't want to see beautiful women, they want all women in media to be nothing but objects for the pleasure of (white) men.

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

We have the timidity of countless corporate and university GCs to thank for the fact DEI is treated as though it were illegal.

Anna Gifty @itsafronomics.bsky.social · 1d

lol gentle reminder that DEI is not illegal. Supporting marginalized groups is not illegal. Anyone reneging on support is making a CHOICE to do so.

the story i heard about how Tim and Eric made it to the big time is they sent a dvd of their sketches to Bob Odenkirk- nothing special, a lot of people tried that. But they included an invoice- for the dvd, the postage, etc. And that's what made odenkirk actually watch it

anyway,,,

Tim Heidecker is so good at this.

WHAT an incredible experience getting to perform at the Riyadh comedy festival. I left feeling grateful and humbled by his majesty’s generosity. I’ll never forget this memorial experience and all the fun we had. Hope to do it again soon.

I sometimes read old gaming magazines and stumbled upon this "babe of the year" section from Playstation: The Official Magazine.

If I was the editor I would have gently suggested this writer be put down like a rabid dog

Paraphrasing something I think I remember @shaunvids.bsky.social saying: "They once made an identity of their hobby, but aren't enjoying it like they used to, so they want to believe it's because somebody's making their hobby worse, not because they themselves changed."

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 23h

That's what really bothers me, those fashy youtubers do such a disservice to their audiences, and it works because in keeping them angry and feeding them new nontroversies with their outrage content mills, they're keeping them engaged. But it's doing something lamentable to them in the process.

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

The German gaming sins guy literally did that last year while covering the xbox showcase.

Top left reads:

- female protagonists
- DEI points
- killed men

And no, this wasn't done to make fun of these people. Completely unhinged behaviour.

It's so fucked that the best advice to handle steam forums is locking them entirely except for technical support thread.
