Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

how do we not live in a world where a bunch of the people who made Titanfall can't just push out a quick, solid mid-budget campaign shooter to prove themselves and build up a runway / reputation? How do we jump immediately to "We need to compete with Apex"?

Not saying this would’ve stopped the layoffs but laying off employees while having money to throw into tournament prize pools is why I hate this eSports-centric era of fighting game development
Riot Games lays off roughly 80 employees from 2XKO team

After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE.
Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide:

people make understandable assumptions that the endless fundraising is for fattening individual electeds' wallets but much of it is more to keep funding a million different think tanks and consultants and strategists so everybody's loser relatives and college buddies always have a six figure job

the primary reason rightwingers will never control culture is because everything they do is hinged upon it being a reaction to the broader culture. the TPUSA half time event would not exist without it being a representation of their grievences

Can we stop gating things behind Discord, yet?
Be it information, game mods, game dev, etc. I don't want to join your Discord for a snippet of information.
Discord is not a replacement for forums, social media, or encyclopedias. Please stop making Discord servers for everything, it's exhausting.

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.
In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

Just one of many reasons why these verification laws are such a terrible idea.

As more sites require IDs for user age verification, expect more such breaches to come.

Giovanni puts forth a beautiful idea here: what if our childhood games were remade for a new generation of kids to enjoy, rather than being remade for the cohort of adults who initially grew up with them? I love this idea. Passing stories down rather than holding onto them so tightly
Some thoughts on Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined. I think it’s a neat approach for a remake to look at the original, read it as a kid’s game, and ask what it can do visually and mechanically to reinforce that. www.polygon.com/dragon-quest...
Not every game remake needs to grow up
Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined isn't pretending to be something it's not

Just gonna say since we're already talking about unionizing game writers: hey, maybe let us localizers in on those talks, too, because it's pretty fucking rough out there, even in AAA. I'd probably have three times as many credits if we were unionized and I'm one of the lucky ones with any at all.
