A screenshot of Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil 6 aiming his gun at an Infected? Zombie? Idk I didnโ€™t play that one. Requiem is really good though.

My childhood babysitter was killed by a tornado in Kansas.

I interned for his Lincoln, NE tech startup in 2011 and it is so surreal whenever I see his name come up now.

Also thereโ€™s gotta be a non-zero number of people saying this who actually are trans and in deep denial.

Facebook including Geoff Keighley in my friend recommendations alongside elderly members of my childhood church will never stop bemusing me.

if anything, the Trump-show is a distraction from the US imperialist war machine, not the other way around

Tapping the sign again:

Israel โ‰  Jewish people. It IS NOT anti-Semitic to criticize Israel. It IS anti-Semitic to use the two interchangeably. Jews have no obligation to support Israelโ€™s genocide. Aligning the two robs Jews of autonomy and makes our religion a tool for your political agenda.

Wait why does Resident Evil need to know my age?

Yeah itโ€™s also hard cause how many people will admit thatโ€™s why they chose a career? Other environmental factors (ie pro-military family) probably matter more, but media romanticizes and reinforces those biases. Iโ€™ve read a couple Special Forces memoirs and they all cite books as an influence.

When we discuss violence in games (and other media), we often fail to include young men inspired to pursue violent careers in our calculus.

As someone whoโ€™s worked on games that glorify the US military, it weighs heavy on my conscience how many recruits have likely been inspired by our work.

The Iranian government in itself was established, secret police and all, as outcome illegal US interference and support in Iran decades ago.

The Iranian people are now suffering evil from the US as punishment for the actions of the US against their grandparents.

There is one evil here.

85 girls were still alive yesterday. They were still alive yesterday. They were still alive yesterday. They were still alive yesterday.

This world doesn't need to be this way. This world is created by machine men with machine hearts.

They were still alive yesterday.

Honestly it would be very funny if the background radiation of "we should nuke the planet" posting on the internet, now the foundational training data of LLMs, resulted in AIs incapable of not pushing the button because that's what everyone said to do

โ€˜Donโ€™t go to the US โ€“ not with Trump in chargeโ€™: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, โ€˜If it can happen to me, i...

Again, I cannot emphasize enough: do not go to the US even if you're privileged enough to have never been scared or worried of a border crossing in you're life. Do not go ESPECIALLY for something as optional & outrageously expensive as GDC.

2017.

20-fucking-17.

The Washington Post was calling Epstein "the sex offender" in early 2015.

The Acosta case was in 2017.

They knew.

THEY KNEW. And they still invited him.

"Notable names include House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Martin Heinrich."

HOW INTERESTING.

This is also why you should name your game objects by what they are or what they do, instead of giving them fictional names. In BioShock, Big Daddies were "protectors", Little Sisters were "gatherers", and Splicers were "aggressors". The functions remained while the fiction shifted.

Godot is an incredible project making gamedev more accessible to so many creators.

If you have a few quid to spare, support them so they can continue doing that against the onslaught of slop.

Desperately looking for anyone in Scotland to foster a 2 year old female cat named Bambi. Incredibly affectionate and friendly. Indoor-only. Whether temporary (a few weeks) or longer term.

She's going to be put to sleep otherwise -- due to a heart issue that won't affect her for another 12 months
