The deeper into the year I get the more I feel like 2025 didn't truly get "good" for me until I went out and did this.
I was one of the 39!

Now that this year's Doc Lightning is up in full, I'll go ahead and share my entry! You can also watch it on my YouTube channel if you'd like. youtu.be/HdOLoDadsQI

FUCK YES

I have not played Ark Raiders since beta months ago but it's SO refreshing to see a mainstream game review in which the ethics of the game's creation actually effects not only the reviewer,s opinion of the game, but the score itself as well. Putting your money where your mouth is!
Rich PvE combat and an unusually friendly community make Arc Raiders a more approachable extraction shooter than most, but Embark Studios' continued use of AI voice generation is a black mark against its reputation.

Do you know how hard it is to politically radicalize someone who joined a website to reply with the cry laughing emoji to the Trix cereal rabbit?
People are mad at Democrats over on Threads. Do you understand? THREADS.

I and a bunch of other people have been canceling our Spotify subscriptions due to the ICE ads and forced AI features. I know they're rolling this out to try and entice users to stay but, if this looks enticing, I need yall to just use Last.FM like a real adult.
Spotify is introducing weekly listening stats for all users, showing top artists, songs, and milestones. These weekly Wrapped-style snapshots can be shared from the app or on Instagram and WhatsApp in over 60 markets worldwide.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Just watched this, it's great!
Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.
