Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades
Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

I wrote a piece for Game Informer about why society blames games for its problems: My favorite piece of history? In 1982, the U.S. Surgeon General warned everyone that Pac-Man and Space Invaders were a danger to kids. Read it before the next medium gets banned: gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

Caught my partner singing @hotterdad.bsky.social’s Christmas Pain in Christmas Town to herself today. Listening to this year-round paid off in the best way. Merry Christmas, Chowder Man. youtu.be/ftEz-m0kEWA?...

And you know what the talking heads seem to rarely use 'violent' to describe? The systemic destruction of families through ICE detentions and deportations. Breaking a window is framed *primarily* as violence, but taking a grandparent away from their kids or sending someone to a work camp isn't.

Couple people have caught this, but yeah, the takeaway from me here isn't about game prices or bad marketing. This is happening with all information constantly. Sub "Switch 2 games" for "trans athletes" and imagine what kind of baseless stuff people are being served constantly.

New on the Secret Area: "Halo with chips" has been found. A dumb back of the box quote from Maxim magazine promoting a poker video game had become a small meme. I wanted to find out where it came from. Likes, shares and comments are really appreciated. asecretarea.com/2025/02/21/h...
I’m collecting these horrible takes like Pokemon cards This is my Dialga EX
Calipari served as coach of the Wildcats for 15 seasons and compiled a 410-123 mark. He led Kentucky to its eighth national championship in 2012. Calipari was booed by UK fans whose feelings are hurt because he didn't stay there until he was either fired, retired or died.
I don’t know… I feel like if we’re really trying to expand games discussion then we should have less of these terms that few people understand and even fewer people apply correctly
ok can we please invent a word like ‘soulslike’ or ‘roguelike’ but for games like Outer Wilds and Obra Dinn because it is clearly the best video game genre and should be quantified accordingly
