So much of gaming discussion is criticizing stuff nobody has even played. I'm kind of glad to not be writing about games lately. I just don't care about a single game if I haven't played it.

If you look at this chart, especially with the way the numbers are colored and displayed and the percentages attached to them, you can come to the epress conclusion that LGBTQ rights, social programs, DEI, police brutality, etc. are unimportant to voters. Then you read the fine print... (1/X)

i feel so bad for artists who now have to deal with accusations that their work is ai
Its so demeaning to the life of work they put into their art, and it must suck to have to argue that your work is in fact your own.
If you can draw, that's really cool, I think you are great.

It feels like our democracy is less and less "I vote for the leaders who will best solve the problems important to me" and more and more "I vote for the leaders who will enact my policy desires," and that is a complete disaster.
Popularism is a cancer.
Popularism is a cancer.
Also most voters have just never thought remotely seriously about policy. “Should we get rid of illegal immigrants? Well, of course; they’re illegal!” There’s nothing deeper than that going on until they start seeing what that actually entails.
Some Dems and pundits overread the significance of Trump's win. They looked at dissatisfaction with the border and discerned a seismic cultural reaction to immigration levels inside the country. The former was real. The latter is a mirage.

Like no offense, but it's a fucking nightmare just existing as a trans person. It wasn't anywhere near as bad back in the mid 2010s.

It used to be that this kind of reporting was reserved for a CEO like Steve Jobs actually presenting a new technology on a stage that would be for sale that year. Now a CEO tweets and it's on every god damn news outlet like it's already real. Musk promised a man on Mars in 10 years... in 2011!

I wish I had taught English composition from 1970-2015 so I would have never had to deal with ChatGPT, which has made all grading a miserable, meandering, experience.

"X doesn't violate our Y policy" is corporate speak for "we don't wanna do it." Even if it doesn't violate their policy (which it probably does), their policy isn't written in stone or given by god. It can be changed in response to evolving situations and often is when it suits them!

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

Video game criticism is so far behind the actual audiences of video games. In some ways video game journalism still acts like it's 1995 when evaluating the "entire field."
top 100 lists are stupid fun, but also, not having a single moba or mmo on your top 100 list is a little embarrassing imo

In 2026 I'm gonna embrace being wrong sometimes (and being willing to be corrected) rather than trying to be right all the time, which is exhausting.

if I wrote a video essay on every single episode of adventure time every day i could finish the project within a year of starting. i'd also probably finish off my sanity in the process

The whole situation is absurd, but this is such a bizarre statement. A former public professional relationship is exactly the kind of situation where one may feel obliged to distance themselves from a mold-brained freak. I can't think of a situation more personally necessary to critique someone.

I wonder how long until movie studios realize they could just take older animated movies, redub them with famous actors from today, and rerelease them in theaters. Seems to be exactly the kind of the craven execs would want to do.

I feel like people tend to pick items/tools/skills in games like Silksong which they think will make the game easier for them. I think that's the wrong choice most of the time, you should pick the items/tools/skills that will make you better at the game/master the game's mechanics.

One reason I dont watch a lot of normal political content from liberals is because it's clear that so much of their political project is just "owning the right wingers" for likes and clicks.

If Jimmy Fallon, the least offensive idiot to ever grace late night television, is on the chopping block, every person who doesn't wear a MAGA hat should assume they're in danger of losing their jobs too.
Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.

Conservatives make way more sense if you accept that whatever they want to be true is true as far as they're concerned. You find this tendency across the entire spectrum of right wing beliefs. It's more spiritually certain way to live, that's for sure. It's also abhorrent.
