If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here
Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻♂️

How can you know if your workers are “okay” with using genAI tools if you have so much power over them should they push back?

Considering how much evidence and peer reviewed studies there are at this point that show video games don't cause shootings it's funny they keep dusting off this tired theory to see if it lands

Renovations led to me no longer playing games and watching TV from my bed, which is overall a net positive for all activities and sleep.
In exchange, I never got my other Metroid tee from Yetee because I haven't checked my mail in a month.

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by karoline leavitt’s lip fillers than the fact that congress just said, “what we should do is put any doctor or pharmacist in prison who gives lifesaving medical care to this specific kind of child we find gross.”

Though I do tire of folks inserting their Alien fandom into Metroid, I can appreciate that Myles McKenzie looks like Rick Moranis, because that means when he meets Samus, we're now referencing Ghostbusters, too.
Samus is technically Sigourney Weaver (even if, yes, she's modeled after Kim Basinger).

Shameful.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

the good news is that the media attention and support from an audience has helped Horses do well enough that Santa Ragione has been able to pay all its owed royalties and loans. so it's not in debt.
the bad news is it's still not enough to keep the studio together.

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.
I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.
