It seems like they were eventually compensated. They still own the land and can use it for recreation which can be a large revenue source.

Why don’t you cover the poorer victims of climate change?

ICYMI: "[I] don’t need a Nintendo Switch 2 because I have…The Dadtendo."

@mattmarrone.bsky.social pits the Nintendo Switch 2 against the Dadtendo, AKA his Anbernic RG40XXH:

Nintendo Switch 2 vs. The Dadtendo - Unwinnable

In the spirit of good parenting, I’ve decided to pit the two devices against each other in a few select categories.

We played A Gest of Robin Hood this afternoon. I was really shocked by how a complete a 2 player COIN experience is in this tiny box. You’re constantly trying to solve a shifting puzzle. This is a standout title. @gmtgames.bsky.social

The balkanized "future" of the internet has long been here--for decades the internet in Spain has looked very different from the internet in Canada.

But I think this is one of the first times we're seeing a platform geo-blocking by *US State* and this way lies madness.

Our Response to Mississippi’s Age Assurance Law - Bluesky

A new Mississippi law requires us to block full access to Bluesky unless all users complete age checks. We have concerns about this law’s implementation.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

I’m in the auto glass shop, and I took a work call. I swear to god, the receptionist just started playing a harmonica.

Maybe he should investigate the payment system for cracking down on lewd video games while he is at it.

There is a far worse one out of there. I think this is going to get ugly.

I think the big box Alea boxes were the best size boardgame boxes have ever been. I wish that was the standard instead of the 12”x12” style square boxes.
