Oh hey, good reminder here haha

I was the guest on the newest Devolver Forkcast! We chatted about MMO screenname moderation, Zachary Quinto’s disdain for Shane Dawson, and my games industry breakout as a junior high student who lied to IGN.

I had a great time on Aftermath talking about how you can use Assassin’s Creed as a method of tracing the pathway to the world we live in.

Aftermath @aftermath.site · 1d

The Assassin’s Creed series was a canary in the coal mine for our modern, engagement-obsessed world. @ckunzelman.bsky.social explains:

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

everyone argues about metroidvania but the actual worst genre name that needs to change immediately is is without question whatever the hell we're calling diablo-likes lately. that shit has two names and they're both taken. ARPG and hack and slash. how does that even happen.

a not great aspect of the 2020s is every now and then i'll remember a writer/actor/comedian/musician i haven't heard about in a while and i'll think "oh I wonder how they're doing.... really hope they haven't *directly to camera* TURNED EVIL"

The debate.

A small dog tells a woman, "Experiencing the world is beautiful and vivid for me. I smell shit piss and vomit and I love it. You are controlled by ceaseless disgust. You're stunted. Haha."

The woman replies, "Yes. But I can read novels."

There must be some mistake, I read 50 Atlantic articles about how RFK Jr just wants to help Americans eat more vegetables

They continue to eviscerate the public health machinery that has quietly kept Americans, and others around the world, safe and healthy for decades.

The staff of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the journal that reports on health trends and emerging infectious threats, was also laid off. The publication’s storied history includes a June 1981 report that five previously healthy gay men were treated for an unusual pneumonia — the first hint of the AIDS epidemic.

Roughly 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers — the so-called “disease detectives” who respond to outbreaks around the globe — received layoff notices, according to a person familiar with them. The service was spared during an earlier round of layoffs in February.

It's getting harder and harder to deny that AGI is a near certainty. This kind of rapid expansion, this level of investment and infrastructural shift, this amount of *risk* - it doesn't happen without astronomical reward. The other day I saw a big barn, which can only mean one thing: giant horses
