those camps were built under obama and kept open under biden. ICE budgets increased every year under obama and biden. no one from the first trump term was prosecuted and biden told trump "welcome home" on inauguration day

This is just a classic "neoliberalism is anything I don't like."
I mean, neoliberalism is bad. But it's on a whole different axis from "fight fascists or not."

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

Technically poor and hurried, devoid of the original's charm, and full of filler content and baffling changes, Yakuza Kiwami 3 is a 20/100, a 2/10, a one-star game.
It's a seismic miss that left me questioning my love for the series.

this stuff has really broken me. it's simply astounding that so many people who have been allowed to amass unimaginable wealth are so droolingly stupid, so unmoored from and in fact hostile to any sense of community or social responsibility, and oh by the way they love to constantly rape children

RGG Studio not only cast Kagawa despite his actions, they are specifically taking advantage of his image as a creep to sell the role.
Guess that’s that. #REMOVEKAGAWA

![A shot of Teruyuki Kagawa as Goh Hamazaki in Yakuza Kiwami 3 with his face mosaic blurred out, accompanied by an excerpt from a GAME Watch interview with Ryosuke Horii on 2026-02-05:
Horii: “Rikiya and Hamazaki are both key characters to the story, so it would certainly be safer not to recast them and avoid online criticism (laughs). But we felt there was no use being afraid. We based our decision on what excited us and made us think, ‘This is who we want to perform,’ or ‘What if we cast this person?’ […] Hamazaki is a sleazy, persistent, and militant yakuza, right? Since he isn’t an explosive character like Kanda, when we tried to think of someone who makes you go, ‘This guy’s a creep,’ naturally it was Kagawa-san. The biggest thing was just had to see that. Kagawa-san’s acting is fun to watch. Even when he’s chopping a pig’s feet off with a chef’s knife, it has a slimy feel.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:miwrulrgrudgnchcqgcpxgth/bafkreianho4oe2hx4rmjbrd65x22prtp53ol6fm5ljlqdnjmxkjx2bnpme@jpeg)

Video games do not cause violence. But we as an industry are clearly not ready to have a conversation about how we've normalized a military fantasy
I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Everybody talkin about Fable understandably but Beast of Reincarnation looks p good imo. Like beyond the regular discourse surrounding Game Freak's production values, some of the mechanical designs, canine partner system and the ruined earth vibe are so appealing to me.

Where was international law when the EU cheered on Trump’s special military operation in Venezuela?
Or during the invasion of Iraq? Or during the Gaza genocide? Or when you illegally sanctioned countries in the global south? Or when you cracked down on free speech and protest in your own streets?

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.
