90s #StarTrek would never use a lazy narrative device that let characters solve their personal challenges in a world of make believe. They certainly wouldn't have ended that era of the franchise like that.

I just got an email about an upcoming open world game, Last Drop, set in ye olde 1994. Is gone to great lengths to create an authentic 1994 experience.
I'm old.
Don't give him ideas.
Apparently ICE goons in multi-car caravans are circling Spanish immersion preschools in the city taunting and photographing the parents and neighbors who are patrolling the school perimeter to keep kids safe.
What made so many humans lose their humanity?
Outside the Whipple building in Minneapolisβ
Feds just emerged and unleashed pepper spray on demonstrators for approaching the driveway, sprayed one man directly in the face repeatedly. Pepper balls.
Air is toxic, there were children out here in strollers. Reporters caught unprepared.
Man they could not have picked a better run and runner than wacky Pokemon Emerald and @adef.bsky.social to wrap AGDQ
I think highly of Haley Stevens, but implying that my friend @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social somehow understands or loves Michigan less because she was born in New Jersey isn't just ridiculous or insulting, but proves she doesn't know anything about Mallory.
It's never too late to have a full D&D group worth of girlfriends.
Oh! Kyos said you had a polycule. Still shocking similarities.
Yes I mean myself!
Watching my friend go through this is a treat.
Right down to the tight pussy. Yeah, I said it. What now.
oh yeah? well, could a dying sex criminal do THIS? [bombs venezuela]
My friend @kyoslilmonster.bsky.social just introduced me to another poly trans autistic journalist who advocates high speed rail named Katie; @katie.bzky.team.
I'm basically her Detroit affiliate.
I am on pins and needles to see the Saudi version of the #Sims. You know is immediately giving the game MAGA hats and taking away queer representation .
Also I'm glad that Bioware was effectively dead before this sale happened.
Hang on, did EA just get bought by Jared Fucking Kushner (among others)?
Yeah, the game is gonna crash long before the servers are stressed.

It's one thing that no one taught Sam Woods to not engage in his comment section, but comparing Yoshi-P to Donald Trump is a bold fucking strategy, Cotton.

It's really weird to live in a world where I have to say this but I'm unhappy about the #crackerbarrell redesign because it's bland and dull, not because I'm a fascist.
That quote from newsom is an insane thing to say as an adult.
I didn't live react to Gamescom, but I will say I'm flirting with a WoW writer so am ethically obligated to praise the Midnight trailer.
That's also the real reason they've been doing it all along.
Maybe some of us remember what happened the last time law enforcement got mad at a sex worker Trump was mad at
Columbus vice cops did so much harassment and illegal setups, entrapments, abuse and wrongful arrests when Stormy Daniels came to town that they got disbanded
Friends, if you're pissy over stuff @collokation.bsky.social said, there are two things to consider.
1. Being involved in the gaming industry doesn't take away your right to free speech. We let Randy Pitchford continue to exist.
2. You can actually disagree with someone without harassing them!
This was what I was speculating was going on, but it literally just being Mastercard again is both something that I wasn't expecting and something that seems so obvious.
Critical information here: EUR, CAD, GBP, JPY, AUD and USD are unaffected.
This plus the emphasis on the acquiring bank makes me think PayPal isn't any more excited about this than you. I'd bet a currency exchange or global banking intermediary for PayPal's "smaller markets" is pushing censorship.
I am a journalist. Ryan is correct.
A banking company could say they want certain games removed, and Mastercard did, but it runs a risk of hitting them where it hurts: the stock market. Mastercard is a much bigger bank and can weather that. PayPal isn't going to fuck around with shareholders.
I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. Iβm sorry we have to live through this.
