I wish cis people would understand just how stressful it is when every time there's news of gun deaths, far right trolls immediately jump to social media and claim the shooter is trans, and sometimes they'll circulate pictures of random trans women they want to incite violence against.

Da ein Welt-Artikel es gerade wieder ausgräbt. Ich habe diese Aussage sowohl Live als auch im Nachgang eingeordnet.
Nein, ich würde Niemanden töten.
Diese Aussage war komplett drüber egal wie wütend ich wegen der transfeindlichen Gewalt der Trump Administration war.

Literally saw a video pass through my youtube recs a week ago with the thumbnail "STEAM - THE GOOD MONOPOLY" because a decade and a half of people self-propogandizing has had effects.
seeing people being like "ehhh Idkkkkk horses DOES sound kinda icky, I get why it was banned" like barely 2 months after a bunch of people kicked up the wildest possible hostile campagn against _itch_ makes me feel like I'm losing my mind lol

I worked on HORSES as an outside consultant. Santa Ragione took all of my concerns and suggestions VERY seriously and did their best to react to them. I believe 100% that had Valve given them concrete instructions, they would have reacted immediately.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.
Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.
Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.

I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.
One wonders what *would*.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Today is the 31st anniversary of Kamaitachi no Yoru. This was a hugely successful "sound novel" for the Super Famicom that popularized novel-style adventure games in Japan and laid the groundwork for the modern visual novel genre.
