I uh... didn't know that a passport was over $200!
even more when it's expedited.

I was so focused on getting my name and gender changed that I've basically put everything I had into it, and I *still* need the id and birth certificate corrections.

A cache of 18,000 emails offers another window into Epstein’s mind. Bloomberg parsed Amazon receipts from that inbox—filtering, verifying, and cataloging book orders—to build this timeline.
NEW: In Oct 2016, when a new book about Jeffrey Epstein came out, he bought 17 copies. In 2019, in Epstein’s last weeks of freedom, he made his final purchases: a guide to raising children, The Annotated Lolita & Nietzsche’s The Birth of Tragedy

IFPA president Josh Sharpe has doubled down on awarding points to a pinball tournament where a transphobic hate crime occurred.

He now says the event _could_ have been stripped of its points, and blames the different outcome on two trans women.

if your moderation team bans someone for a harmless unactionable exclamation of disgust, but permits a govt account to say stuff like this,

you need a new moderation team.

this is lowkey kinda how I explained being a trans girl to my sister
Trans women are biologically female and our medical needs make a lot more sense if we are conceptualized as having essentially an extreme form of hyperandrogenism
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

assuming this is real and persists to be as bad as it seems, what does it say about me that I'm more upset the first "sidekick" samus gets is some guy and not a girl?

like I could *totally* see nintendo being like "if the is sidekick another girl they're def gonna Ship Them... 😒," and then do this.

If you're trans or broke (especially both) please sound off below or DM me for discounted tiers. I obviously want to make money, but I also know that there are a lot of you out there scrounging for rent and groceries, and I'm not gonna take away from that if i can help it

Regular reminder to authors that yeah your cover artist may be using AI generation without disclosing it. They can go 'human made! no AI!' all day long but some of them very much are lying.

it's nice to be excited about a "new" game console and all of this hinges on the reality that it's a very realistic prospect that far more people will have access to a very unique and versatile collection of input devices.

games have been so boring to me, an old bitch that's been playing for 30 yrs

The one missing piece of every independent games journalism venture is a strategy person. A writer or editor who sits down and thinks “what do we have to write to grow our audience? what do we have to write abt to stay on top of the zeitgeist?” and then everyone chooses how / if to factor that in

I'm not an active game developer, yet lol, but how does it work when you want your game to take specific controllers or w/e into consideration?

do you need like an sdk or something for an engine like godot? would you specifically need a devkit for the steam controller 2 and the steam frame?
November 13, 2025 at 4:46 PM
after looking at the comments of the control 101 video on the avatar fighting game yt channel I'm convinced that ppl who say the play fighting games don't actually *enjoy* playing fighting games, and that they are only playing them (laughter) For Clout.

b/c ain't no way you can be that miserable.
November 13, 2025 at 4:23 PM
I'm still not really over valve CLEARLY making the touchpads on the steam controller 2 a secondary feature however maybe this time it can finally break through the stagnation of controller inputs.

it has A LOT of good things in it that could really change how we play games, which is exciting to me.

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing.

Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.*

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

yeah... this def was a thing I remember happening that I didn't really understand back then but now it's just like, whew.

yikes.
there was an entire fandom devoted to counting down the days until the olsen twins were “legal” and it started before they were teenagers
I want people to understand that in my youth, a youth that happened somewhere between the youth of Epstein, Trump, Maxwell, ex-Prince Andrew, et al & that of their victims, the term "jail bait" was framed as a compliment.

The bigger any production becomes, the more likely it is to have reprehensible human being involved at some point in the chain. And knowing where to draw the line is difficult and a choice that I can't make for anyone else.

Being human is complicated. Things you love can cause harm in the world.

And of course there's the issue of ethical consumption being just a nightmare under capitalism. I love Doom, I love Ninja Gaiden, I love most of what Obsidian make. I've no issue with those studios (mostly) but they're part of the Microsoft Zaibatsu, which I'm boycotting and avoiding promoting. Bleh

This does not mean you should shovel money into the pockets of bigots. That's obviously bad.

But knowing the artist is a bad person does not suddenly disrupt the timestream. What was once good does not magically become bad. You don't need to pretend you never enjoyed things, or performatively deny.

This is less a subtweet, and more of a thought I just want to get out there:

Bad people can make good art.

When a game that people liked turns out to have been made by someone shitty, it doesn't instantly become bad. You don't have to go full Sour Grapes on it. Two things can be true at once.
