Son woke me up at 5:30am to play Pokopia. The best part: I jumped right out of bed as excited as he was. Being a dad kicks ass

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

can we talk about the fetishization of military power in these games and how they function as propaganda yet or...?

I don't think live games are the problem, honestly. I think the problem is investor and managerial insanity, where the people making those high-level decisions don't understand the business they're in and keep changing their mind about the risk profile of their business plan

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

We hate kids. Like SO MUCH. We vote for the guns. We vote for the bombs. We protect the rapists. We have LEOs physically restraining parents from trying to save their children in Uvalde. We just blew up a school in Iran. We love Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. They run the country.

I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.

Heard from a friend in Abu Dhabi that there was bombing all day. Also in Bahrain and Qatar. (The target is US bases, but it's not like the bombs never miss). Buildings shaking in civilian areas. The scale of this is much larger than many think.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

A pixel art canvas showcasing retro styled aprites of Browt, a grass type, yellow bean chick pokemon with its trademark leaf brows, Pombon, the friendly  fire type Puppy pokemon and Gecqua, the water gecko pokemon, with a clever slightly mischievous expression. The three sprites are made in the style of Pokemon GSC, following space and color limitations.
