It's not about if Horses is good or if you like it, it's about the world we're in where a few companies have control over who gets to make money and which artists get to continue working.

Stores can stock whatever they want, but if you don't understand the broader picture you shouldn't speak.

the HORSES affair is a startlingly low bar to cross to see if people actually care about protecting games from censorship of upsetting themes because it's far tamer and has way more moral clarity than a lot of stuff that doesn't get banned. but it's also very clarifying to see who can't cross it

If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people
Puzzmo — The (new) place for thoughtful puzzles.
Re-imagined mainstays like the daily Crossword Puzzle, modern classics like Really Bad Chess and SpellTower, and even a few brand new puzzles.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I went on a journey this year with my partner and watched every one of Spielberg's feature films. Tonight we just wrapped up with The Fabelmans. Alongside that, I thought it would be fun to rank them as we watched: letterboxd.com/andrewwdp/li...

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.

They're AI-generating the music here.

Fuck that.
The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

I got to see Wake Up Dead Man in a packed theater and had such a good time. I really wish it didn't have such a limited release so more people could experience that.

We need to stop letting payment processors and content platforms get away with this shit.
seeing people being like "ehhh Idkkkkk horses DOES sound kinda icky, I get why it was banned" like barely 2 months after a bunch of people kicked up the wildest possible hostile campagn against _itch_ makes me feel like I'm losing my mind lol

People who happily watch 4+ hour long Youtube videos are never allowed to complain about movies being too long.

Detective Instinct releases in just TWO DAYS! On Steam and Nintendo Switch 👍

If narrative adventure games that feel a little like something you might have played on the DS back in the day are your thing, don't miss it 👁️

Demonschool is so close to being something I love, but I'm already so bored of the battle system. Maybe I'll give it another shot sometime.

John Carmack's been openly a huge dirtbag on twitter for years and years and it drives me absolutely mad how seemingly no one ever notices. I hate John Carmack. All my homies hate John Carmack.

Texas A&M continues to suck shit
1. Texas A&M has voted that Professors must seek out official permission to talk about trans people, sexuality, or race.

One of the professors said that the new policy would make routine lessons on things like the Holocaust impossible.

Texas A&M Votes That Professors Must Have Permission To Discuss Trans People, Sexuality or Race
The Texas Board of Regents said it wasn’t restricting “teaching,” but professors—and a university press release—says otherwise.
