I code games, and play a fair number too. (Call of Duty 2/4/MW2, Titanfall 1/2, Apex, working on an unannounced game.)
Here to see cat pictures and learn about whatever. Also to hear about cool games/music/books/movies I might have missed.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

I can tell I have American Brain because literally the first thought I had on seeing this picture was that with a story like this, he should be able to start a gofundme and not get ruined by the medical bills.
Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

“Liberalism, WOW!”
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

Murder is cool, but murdering part of a group of people then the rest of that group a few minutes later is where America draws a LINE.

This is what happened to me. Employers across the board need to be aware of how harassment campaigns work and do better to protect their employees from them. These people should not have a platform to profit off of harassment.
Two months after firing over Charlie Kirk comments, Ghost of Yotei dev blames harassment campaign, not 'bad joke'

An AI trained on every video game ever came to the conclusion that to properly replicate a video game, ladders must be comically broken. Fair.
Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

Crazy how much of a taboo taking photographs in retail stores used to be, and now nobody cares at all, or even remembers why they did.

Whose deaths get to be deemed unacceptable in supremacist America, and whose are deemed necessary? And who does the deeming?
