Really funny to see people just straight up lying about game sales to fit their narrative. I don’t care about yotei but it’s selling super well according to every metric I’ve found. The fact that it’s almost keeping pace with Tsushima, which launched during the pandemic, is a serious achievement.

The Hasan Piker dog collar incident shows that proponents of the surveillance state, like Larry Ellison, who claimed that mass video surveillance would lead to more accountability, are catastrophically wrong.

Hasan Piker and the Future No One Is Ready For

The backlash that Piker is facing shows the consequences of a world where everyone is constantly being recorded and our internet is built to reward outrage and controversy.

Sam Altman has said any workers who are displaced by OpenAI will be given free transportation to the nearest culling facility where they will be summarily slaughtered and converted into a nutritious paste meant to be consumed by busy tech executives who don’t have time for regular meals.

Sam Altman explains Open AIs vision for a world where no one goes hungry because all the displaced workers will be converted into essential nutrients for other tech executives.

Conservatives have built their own social media platforms, Trump has his own Twitter alternative, his allies are buying major social media platforms to weaponize for their propaganda and influence and we’re still arguing if having a left-leaning social media platform is a bad thing

i don't normally enjoy human suffering but something about watching destiny players writhe and mourn their game that should've died 10 years ago really does it for me. probably something to bring up in therapy.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

I sometimes read old gaming magazines and stumbled upon this "babe of the year" section from Playstation: The Official Magazine.

If I was the editor I would have gently suggested this writer be put down like a rabid dog
