Watching Ta-Nahisi Coates podcast appearances is so refreshing. He is the only liberal pundit to actually move left in the last 2 years, and now spends his interviews staring incredulously as his liberal pundit friends move *right* in response to Trump and Israel

Pretty sure harassing mods into banning someone happens all the time on every platform, actually
Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

Things Silksong succeeds at that people don't talk about:
1. Keys are rare and exciting
2. Gibberish voices with more personality/nuance than any other game
3. money is a resource that actually matters
4. Multiple diagetic fast travel systems
5. Hornet has a full Smash Bros. moveset ready to go

The motorcycle made me lose a lot of my hype for Metroid Prime 4. It just looks really boring and kinda rudimentary.
Can someone please convince me to be excited about this again? I was excited for like all 7 years 😭😭

Conversations like the one happening around algorithms allowing *the Charlie Kirk video* from a couple days ago scare me.
Well-meaning people want this stuff banned from social media, but I don't think they understand how quickly that also means anything and everything related to Gaza gets banned

got to check out a demo of @royaltyfree4all.bsky.social, a terrific brawler game that's halfway to its goal on kickstarter!
Amazing and unique characters, great cartoony animation and style, beautifully drawn stages

I know we're all passing around the same $20 bill, but Royalty Free-For-All, the game I've been working on, just went up on Kickstarter.
If ya'll checked it out or even just liked/shared this post, that would mean the entire world to me.
