Hello, new followers! My name is Justin! I write reviews occasionally for GameCritics! I also have my own blog, where I typically write about game preservation, media, and generally my life with video games. I hope you enjoy my work!

My smiling mug, circa 2018. Yes, I need to get a new picture!

The end of free Windows 10 support this Wednesday could be an environmental disaster, cutting off 400 million PCs from security updates and dooming millions of still usable computers.

The End of Windows 10 Support Is an E-Waste Disaster in the Making

In an example of egregious planned obsolescence, as many as 400 million computers will soon hit the waste stream.

This entire argument by Louisiana and the conservatives questions are premised on an erasure of Congress’ enforcement power under the 14th & 15th Amendments.

Literally swinging for the fences to wipe out the premise for the legitimacy of Congress’ power to enact civil rights statutes.

stellar work from @abbyolcese.bsky.social for @thepitch.bsky.social on the VITAL new documentary WTO/99, which could not come at a better time: www.thepitchkc.com/daring-docum...

Daring documentary WTO/99 wants you to rethink how we talk about protests

For a lot of millennials, the World Trade Center Organization protests of 1999, also called “The Battle of Seattle” are, if we think about them at all, a footnote in the history of U.S. collective act...

The guy responsible for forcing horrible smeary texture filtering on by default in GZDoom has finally crossed a line that the community cannot stand. An unfortunate schism, but hopefully this means things improve faster from here!

HiMyNameisChair 🏳️‍⚧️ @himynameischair.bsky.social · 21h

The short version: the Gzdoom team has finally had enough of Graf Zhal's shit (including but not limited to pushing AI code into Gzdoom).

The entire team has packed up and made a new fork of Gzdoom.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

Heartbroken that, per his social media accounts, Drew Struzan has left us. His poster and album art was quite simply shorthand for imagination for countless young people.

E.T. Adventure poster, 1990. I still have one of these hanging in my childhood bedroom.

Star Wars Special edition triptych, 1997. I remember seeing all of these in the paper as each film was re-released and just felt a burst of energy those mornings.

I'll keep reminding folks that MTV's origin story was that of a villain. A refusal to play Black artists and if they did, it was rare. David Bowie even called them out about it. Their numbers were tanking because they refused to move from their stance. Enter in Michael Jackson and CBS Records.

MTV to shut down music channels after 40 years. This is all of the remaining channels in the UK and overseas.
