Discord has announced that it's cutting ties with Persona, the AI software company backed by Peter Thiel used for age and identity verification.

"Yeah private equity owns up to 30% of all single-family housing in downtowns of major cities, but if you include housing in the middle of nowhere they only own 3%!"

This makes me think of how I refuse to hunt pigs and boars in Age of Mythology - and how also happy it made me that the Muslim civs in AoE4 don't/can't hunt boars.

Cordial but Firm Anti-Creep Phrases ”This is a [professional space] and I’d really appreciate it if you’d act accordingly.” “I’m not interested in discussing my personal life.” AND/OR “I keep my personal and professional life separate, thanks.” “I really don’t think that’s appropriate behavior/to say at a [professional conference]. Is there something else we can discuss?” OR phrase it as a rhetorical question: “Do you think that’s an appropriate thing to do/say at a [professional conference]?” “That is not what I’m here for. Let’s change the subject.”

Due to recent discussions: when I worked at a library, I was trained on how to politely but directly respond to unwanted sexual comments. Unfortunately commonly-marketed fantasies about librarians mean it happens a lot.

Rehearse these. Be comfortable saying them forcefully, but politely.

Very long overdue!

I finally got around to finishing the Seance of Blake Manor and I loved it! Also it weirdly made me think a lot of GDC. A spooky murder mystery in a video game conference would be pretty funny lol

So this is what taking 6d6 psychic damage feels like

Rock and stone!

Is there any animator out there who will deny this?

Extremely well deserved! Congratulations!

What's the difference between MLB The Show and Fallout? In MLBTS, WAR always changes.

WTF! What was the guy's angle? "How dare you ask me to not poison your plants?"

Mamdani: Where else can you hear the sound of the steel pan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?

excited to share all my rolls for 2025 #blessed #gottamakethatBREAD

That starter pack is my favorite thing - love that we can share stuff like that on Bluesky

I sometimes pronounce Gnomes the same way as Gomez with an N

Right now if I go into the reviews I am only seeing either

a) Recent reviews
b) Reviews that had a lot of upvotes/were marked as helpful by multiple people.

So I wonder if, instead of ignoring the terrible racist one, we should just downvote the heck out of it to reduce visibility

I know it'll still be visible. I am saying, won't it get moved down below upvoted reviews?

That sucks that it's still there, but at least it won't be visible right? Unless someone specifically looks for negative reviews with low ratings?

If we just all downvote the shit out of that racist comment does it stop showing up in the reviews list on Steam?

Publisher says Valve rejected complaint about hateful Steam review: "'Has Muslims, not recommended' is literal racism, so there should be no conversation needed" "I just don't know what to do about this"

I'm hoping for more articles on this situation, because we cannot stay quiet: www.gamesradar.com/games/simula...

I just bought this game. As a Muslim I want to see more Muslim characters in games, and not just as targets for some ghoul's murder fantasy. More Muslim characters in cozy games please!
