I truly appreciate all the new homies that have come along for the ride! 🙏🏾
That said, all I care about posting here is being black, leftism/organizing, and gaming (esp fighting games). My feelings will not be hurt if you decide to bounce out!

In case you need the reminder. You're awesome. Keep making things, big or small, that make you happy. Those things are for you, not for them.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

If you have friends who are job hunting, the most meaningful way to help is by making introductions and opening doors for them. Don't try and give advice because unless you’ve searched for a job in the last couple of years, it’s hard to grasp how drastically AI has upended the market.
Disrespectfully, I need anyone who has not looked for a job within the past year to shut up because shit has changed. Your advice and experience doing this in the past means nothing. You have not job hunted like people are job hunting right now, don’t give people false hope with your outdated ideas

Look, you can say a lot about Hogan's legacy: he was racist, he was terrible to his colleagues, he put himself above other people, he firmly believed in the supremacy of white people, he was a bad wrestler, his life was a net negative for society.
That's it. That's the post.

I already mourned Hulk Hogan about 15 years ago when it became clear he was not who I thought he was.

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan
Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?
CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

I saw ozzy perform just once, at blizzcon 2009 of all places. revisiting that show following his death yielded a snapshot of a very different time – for games, for music, and for ozzy himself
!["To be honest with you, I don't [play World of Warcraft],” Ozzy told IGN. “I'm very computer dumb. My son goes, 'Dad, check this out.' He plays those war games, my son, and I'm a World War II buff. But he sits up there in his room for f****** four days playing this thing going, 'Shhh! Don't get me going!' I'm very slow with the computers; I'm one of the old timers. But it's the future, you know. My kids now – when I was a kid, the big thing with my dad was learning how to work the remote, and I learned that, so I thought, 'I'll always know what's going on.' But now my kids are talking in f****** computer language – megabytes and gigabytes, whatever the f*** that means."
His perspective on Brütal Legend revealed a similarly begrudging open-mindedness that, as someone now being overtaken by the world in the great race we call life, I cannot help but respect.
“You know what, a lot of guys have been doing the things I do for a long time, but they don't get involved with [games],” he said to IGN. “It's the wave of the future – it's sink or swim. I'm very honored to be in the video game. Someone was telling me that the one I did for the rock thing: a billion kids, a billion kids played it! That's f****** unbelievable! That's a f****** tenth of the population of the world! If only that many bought the f****** album.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreihggrqr4ame3pd253wbh27o3egceh5lnj6ljivysltduxe7i5tdwa@jpeg)

If this is accurate, WeTransfer is unusable for professional creative work. Would violate most work-for-hire contracts to share copyrighted material with a third party like this.
Bye forever, WeTransfer.

20 years ago today, July 14, 2005, I created "Link finds a WTF" on YTMND, later becoming better known today on the Internet after it took on a life of its own as "WTF BOOM!".
To commemorate this 20th anniversary, I've remastered my original WTF BOOM! YTMND in 4k. #ytmnd #wtfboom

This is your reminder that there are only SIX YEARS between these two games.
We will never see insane graphical leaps like this ever again.
