you're right to say it, the clunkiness nerd meme is a thought terminating cliche

great article overall but "thoughtful, amusing, and insulting" here really blew me away with how simply and accurately it sums it all up eh
Nintendo’s only other offering is the strange $9.99 Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, an infotainment experience where the player walks through a Nintendo Switch 2–shaped museum to learn why they just made a good investment. It is equal parts thoughtful, amusing, and insulting, which also happens to be the cycle of emotions one experiences regularly as an adult who plays video games.

I'm always saying this!

I don't want my games to be like movies I want them to be like games! the art should be in the play
The form’s crowning achievement won’t be a vain attempt to produce a playable simulacrum of our world; it will be something radically, unreservedly new. Technology will be its canvas, not its paintbrush.

loved this piece by Brandon Taylor on embuing our fictional worlds with values rather than moral relativism, especially this scathing bit

blgtylr.substack.com/p/living-sha...
But another goal, a more discursive goal perhaps, might be a fiction that is capable of going beyond capturing the raw data of life’s many irresolvable tragedies. A fiction that can unfold in a world that is shaped and held by certain values, indeed, a world that is characterized by them. I don’t need to read another 320 page novel about a twenty-eight-year-old woman living in a major urban center working for a magazine, thinking quietly suicidal thoughts to know that everyday life is filled with things that are kinda boring and kinda bad and kinda make me want to die. I know that already. The thrill of seeing it reflected in fiction is gone for me. What I need is more than data.

RIP to a fantastic actor, love to see him pop up in literally anything. My wife makes me watch Pride and Prejudice like 100+ times a year, and we always love seeing Donald constantly do shit like this to hide his distractingly perfect and period inappropriate blinding white veneers. What a guy!

I know that this article is about hellish systemic discrimination, but the quotes from this mother about her trans daughter are so refreshing. The simple human kindness on display really throws the hysteria behind the backlash into great relief. Transphobia is truly for fucking weirdos
Clip from an article that says: But the district says such changes are only allowed if the parent first gets the child's birth certificate amended. The birth certificate wasn't amended until 2021 after Norton started working with the district. The district says after learning about its policy, Norton should have requested in 2017 that her child's gender be changed back to male on her records. Norton told investigators she didn't because the amended records are accurate — her child is a girl. Norton knew the new state law barred transgender girls from playing girls sports when her daughter entered high school in 2022. The detectives asked why she then let her daughter play volleyball and why she marked “female” on a permission form that asked the child's “sex at birth.” “Because she’s my child and she wanted to play,” Norton told them. Norton coached the junior varsity volleyball team.
