Shame on Arena MK for hosting this but it's unsurprising that businesses turn a blind eye to hate in return for a quick buck.

Breathtakingly stupid, short-sighted and wrong. Basically waving through the biggest art heist in human history

Screenshot from Armored Trooper Votoms. A slightly off-model shot of Chirico (his eyes are too high up and close together I think) with a very neutral expression albeit with a slightly furrowed brow, where in his internal monologue he is saying "I felt like screaming."

For months, @jacksonwryan.com has been looking into why so many video games sites have become full of gambling and casino stories, unusual author images, and, most recently, the use of AI. We've connected these sites to Clickout Media. Here's what we've learned.

The VideoGamer RE9 review revelation is absolutely diabolical and deserves the same attention & scrutiny as the Filip Muicin plagiarism story from a while back.

It's unbelievable.

The irony of using an AI image when talking about layoffs + I have no clue what this linkedin post is saying, it's like an Arkham Knight riddler quest but worse in every way.

People told me that I was stirring up something that wasn’t gonna happen. That I was an alarmist. Even had journalist tell me that there was no indication that EVO and Saudi would ever get in bed together.

I got death threats, doxxed, had YouTube videos made of me and it’s part of why I moved here

I feel like when this conversation is being had, a lot of white people are being intellectually dishonest and either not understanding, or can’t empathize with the two Black people who were humiliated , and dehumanized in front of a large crowd of people.

Black folks have a right to go into public spaces and not have slurs hurled at them. Two things can be true. You can be empathetic to this person and their Tourette’s, but also be empathetic to Michael B Jordan, and Delroy Lindo.

Played a bit of War-Zard last night, but because I have the Darksoft CPS-3 SuperBios, I had a 35min wait to swap between games.

Maybe once I've had it for a few years I'll upgrade to the UltraBios but it means that I now have to pre-plan my sessions.

Of course my default is 3rd Strike

Guy Kelly: A Foolish Man For Hire This is the website for Guy Kelly: AuDHD comedian, writer, voice actor, photographer, and general silly sausage for hire

I simply don't seem to have the bit that lets me do that. I've seen people with less chops do better simply by not having the "shut up, who are you to put yourself forward???" voice. Or, at least, the ability to silence/ignore it.

Anyway. Look at my website. I'm fucking great.
