Selección de juegos para octubre. Menos siniestra de lo que imaginaba, pero con justo el nivel de comentario social que quería. Buen octubre! laeradelvideojuego.wordpress.com/2025/10/06/d...

Muy buenas a todes. Hoy no tengo mucho que añadir, salvo deciros que, si estáis de huelga, tenéis la opción de invertirla en estos juegos mientras protestáis por lo que está pasando en Gaza. Espero…

It's scary and impoverished out there for trans folks and I'm going to have to upend my life pretty soon. My wonderful friends and bandmates put this together to help out — if you can help in anyway, with a few bucks or a share, it would make this tgirl's life a lot easier

"Politics in the second Trump era can be mostly defined as people Posting adversarially in public"

- a quote that will one day make for a fantastic essay question

American politics has devolved into shitposting and aura farming

En el manga, esta escena congela la relación de Akane y Ranma en un eterno momento incómodo. En el anime se recrean en ella y la rellenan con infinidad de detalles. Hasta que terminen la parte cubierta por Studio Deen, éste parece ser el tono del anime, lo que lo hace agradable aunque algo brutote.

Nos hemos puesto al día con la versión de MAPPA de Ranma ½, y creo que ya pillo su gancho principal, que es acomodarte mediante la maximización total de la nostalgia que te queda por el manga original de Ranma ½. Esta escena del último capítulo es un buen ejemplo de lo que quiero decir.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

La Corte de los Milagros.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

You know how there’s been this big push towards encouraging older people to do puzzles, cognitive games, and to learn new things to keep them from succumbing to dementia?

Wonder where that’s gonna go with the rise of “outsource your cognitive functions to AI, it’ll be convenient” culture

SteveIsDamaged @steveisdamages.bsky.social · 3d

Cognition is like strength. Use is required to not just gain, but maintain. The more thinking and cognitive work we offload, the duller we become as a result.

It's like deciding you'll use a mobility scooter without need and then figuring out a year later that you can no longer walk.
