Going to make a thread of every reason to NEVER vote for Newsom. Let's start with:
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

Reading this while watching a report on how deeply embedded Nvidia, AMD, Intel are in the Trump administration’s plans to invade and subjugate Greenland.
Microsoft is expediting a genocide, video game execs are up and down the Epstein files, Rockstar is union busting.
Check your exits folks.

I'm curious as to what the 2XKO's teams plans were before they were informed of yesterday's layoffs -- what tasks were the individual staff members assigned to for the foreseeable future?

2XKO situation is fucked on so many levels man; even just from the selfish perspective of "i'm still waiting to play it once they fix the goddamn screen tearing because it actually seems fun." i do not understand the decision-making process here

this review is full of slam dunks but finding out that Mine's substory has him doing image rehabilitation of a guy who got imprisoned for seuxal assault made my jaw hit the floor dude.
Technically poor and hurried, devoid of the original's charm, and full of filler content and baffling changes, Yakuza Kiwami 3 is a 20/100, a 2/10, a one-star game.
It's a seismic miss that left me questioning my love for the series.

cygames going heavy into genAI is pretty bad. if anything normalizes it, it'll be gacha. gacha shouldn't even be legal but you say that and people just say "gambling's cool, just don't spend money you idiot" ignoring such an insanely predatory thing
