Can't even really sincerely blame reception to Highguard for it instantly cratering, if they had completely gone in on 'shadow drop it' it simply would have had no players and would have fallen through the earth. 2026 is a hell of a different time than 2019

Ngl if you bring up AI "becoming Skynet" even from an anti-AI position I'm just gonna assume you're you're on the OpenAI payroll.
You're hyping up AI a lot more than is necessary, and it costs nothing to just not do that.

also IF the AI doomerism was correct and we are in the process of building literal Skynet the ONLY ethical way forward would be to deploy lethal military violence against the AI industry and it's researchers worldwide.
If you aren't suggesting that, you don't believe this is end-the-world serious.

I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

Are we just gonna pretend writing isn't a business here?
She doesn't care about the art, she just wants money. The competition is "who is getting the most sales", and unless you're giving your books away for free, you're in the competition with her.

The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

I will just continue to say, opsec does matter, now more than ever.
Please do not look to Johnny-come-lately "all the anarchists I don't like are feds, actually" adventurists for opsec advice.
Especially when they've spent the past 48 hours saying it's good and virtuous to snitch-record protesters

Known bad actors and misogynistic harassers from across the left/progressive spectrum are coming together to complain about on the ground activists using disciplined opsec.
And I *really* hope folks see this for what it is, which is career harassers opposing mechanisms intended to curb harassment.

Mega Man X, but really all three of the SNES X games.
I absolutely hate the way these games feel, the dash has been ruined for me by the Zero series having a way better one. Just in general, the games feel like moving through sludge to play.

Now I'm curious to see how folks answer the opposite: What's a game everyone loves or even says is a masterpiece, but you just couldn't like no matter how much you tried.

The people dunking on this in the QTs and comments are a good look at how some people are just completely illiterate.
How do you read this and think it's about ever seeing politics at all? Politics stuff is good, every single joke post having a horde of people chiding you for being unserious is not

some people are not going to like to hear this but if we do want esp more younger people to get off platforms controlled by right wing billionaires and onto alternative ones then we do need to figure out how to make a space that isn't the exclusively no fun all politics scold zone like bluesky

Yes Europe is more upset about an invasion of Europe. Why is that weird? That is extremely normal behaviour and not inherently racist. Latin America is more upset about an invasion of Latin America too, which is completely normal.

I fucking hate Americans talking about "Europeans" meaning UK (and maybe also France and Germany). Yes, I'm sure all inhabitants of Novi Sad and Tampere were on board with Sudan (which one, btw) and Iraq.

All shouting about Trump illegally occupying the office and insisting that he does not represent America does is create a massive intellectual blind spot that will stop us from seriously engaging with the basic question of *why* far right politics are so appealing. We can’t make that mistake.
