nobody that you know unless you've heard of him. deeply curséd combo of IR, tabletop wargaming, far right extremism in fandom spaces, and video game/industry crit. hell is empty and all the posts are here. old writing: https://jayallen.contently.com
rat king pale piper is a new and interesting aristo piece
sifter of skulls double-taps sacrifices
ashnod's altar and physician altar are classics
forever young recycles
carrier thrall is two sacs in one
genesis chamber and pawn of ulamog are a lot of sac fodder
mirror universe, magus of the mirror, profane transfusion, and repay in kind would be super annoying
eternity vessel can reset your life total
maybe torgaar, famine incarnate does something here?
soldevi adnate is a great sac outlet
saw in half is fun
death cultist, greedy freebooter, bitterbloom bearer, bitterblossom, and sedgemoor witch are sac fodder
sephiroth fabled soldier and bastion of remembrance are blood artists
mortuary and ashiok wicked manipulator have fun combo potential
profane tutor is free with gwenom. so is living end but that's a spicy card
aristocrats makes good use of damnation and alikes (eg game over)
you can afford to leave mana open so eg force of despair and sudden spoiling are strong
basal thrill and blood pet recycle themselves for aristo value
It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river
The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.
They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.
The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.
one thing I've never understood about US/Israel relationship discourse is the the fact that yes, holistically Israel is a US client state serving US interests doesn't mean that in the specific Israel can't influence the US to do things against US interests, especially when US leaders are very stupid
have fun?
i wonder how common this reaction is for new GAAS lately. i can't imagine getting emotionally invested in, say, a highguard even if it was exciting-looking
the AI-based windows 12 article people are sharing turns out to probably be AI slop
the “windows 12” thing people are freaking out about seems to be false www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...
my new politics adjacent thing is getting really pissed off when people give a human name to a Rat
Every trans person is like "I knew something was up before I had the words to describe it and had to fight for this for years" and every transphobe is like "one conversation with a doctor could have convinced me to get the walrus surgery from the movie 'The Walrus'"
We all know this, of course, but it bears repeating that the Israeli military, and especially those elements of it necessary to carry out a war against Iran, cannot function without US support. If we wanted to, we could pull all support and prevent any further Israeli offensive actions.
Marathon
To echo everyone else's thoughts, I too wish Marathon was a singleplayer video game

i sincerely doubt it would be interpreted as such. look at egypt.
for all it matters from a bluesky gamer account like me: no war in iran. this attack is horrific and all decent people of the world must oppose it with no hesitation or equivocation about iran's government or nuclear programs. that's irrelevant to the pointless depravity of this bloodshed
We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists
"While there was an order to raze villages, in some cases that was not enough. For example, when it came to Arab a-Zabah, a Bedouin community in the Lower Galilee, not a soul or a trace was to remain. "Every Arab among the Zabahim is to be killed," the order stated."
i posed the q to my wife and her answer is "pokémon arceus and it's not close"
To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.
One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day
8 panel #furryhatersigma comic kid says to man "hey fred, gimme a remake of a 90s classic with extra skill trees" to which fred says: "sir" before being interrupted by the kid then saying: "and hold the tank controls." fred then continues saying: "this is a pizza shop." the kid apologizes and states: "sorry for that but anyways let me get a pepperoni pie." fred then talks to someone else and says: "alright, one pepperoni pie for this gentleman right here." to which the chef then says: "coming right up!"
Every third hetero couple but it's Goldberry and Tom Bombadil
genuinely delighted to see the games press taking on areas like prediction markets + gambling + gamification, which are tumorous outgrowths of game design & should be subject to rigorous, knowledgeable critique and *derision* within the games community
even if she wasn't, the US isn't exactly rattling the saber at saudi arabia
For The New York Times to choose to publish Jesse Singal today, of all times, is a choice to attack trans people, to make them even more vulnerable while they are already under attack. It is an appalling abdication of the Times’s journalistic duties.
