Who needs VRAM when your whole game is a cartridge?

Taking Starlink from Musk and making it a full government operation is a slam dunk. This order specifically put US interests and citizens' safety at risk. It has an outsized impact on US foreign policy and our international interests. And we can't let a private citizen countermand US foreign policy.

We've truly hit the point where the corporate megafauna have grown too big to be supported by the habitat they're voraciously destroying.

It sounds like he's threatening voters directly. Which, at least he finally comes out and admits it.

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

At long last, we have created a way for you to take away Nikki's free will, from the classic horror movie "don't take away Nikki's free will"

"Paris burns"

I'm pretty sure really bad things happened to the last state or two that tried to declare themselves a "New America."

Spent some time this weekend linking a whole Clive Barker connected universe so that Imajica, Weaveworld, The Hellbound Heart and Cabal are all in one universe.

Rolling back the protections of the Reconstruction amendments and re-legalizing moonshine feels like the Supreme Court has turned into a body that's entirely organized for the preservation of the rights of cartoon hillbillies.

Do you disavow the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants?

Since @dimension20.dropout.tv had experimented with Vampire the Masquerade (I think successfully), I wonder if we'll get any other classic RPG settings out of them. They'd kill at a game of Shadowrun.

My ongoing thought experiment about taking mostly 80s properties and exploding them into Mike Flanagan-esque miniseries has finally started to think about doing that to Ghostbusters. It is possibly my most ill-conceived one (that I still kind of like).

I appreciate the White House's attempt at something like a metric Scaramucci.

The un-frivolous thing would be a big house, but the frivolous part is the ridiculous custom gaming table for the game room. The house is kind of frivolous, because it's largely a wrapper for the table.

Head of lettuce is undefeated.

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome for Tax Purposes

This video contains at least 5 moments where I would've broken one or both of my ankles trying to do the same thing.

A bunch of ex-Unreal Engine devs have the chance to do the funniest thing.

Honestly, it's amazing that the Talarico breakdown conspiracy theory had any legs with that Russian data center going down.

This is a Kristen Wiig character, right?

He really beefed it.

It turns out Eisner's outfit Tornante has the film/TV rights to Shadowrun. So the former CEO of Disney and Paramount has the chance to do the funniest thing.

Finally got my physical copies. Time to do future crimes!

The kickstarter for the new Microscope is live! I can't wait to see what you make with the new edition www.kickstarter.com/projects/lam...

Man, the point of government is not nor has it ever been for the entirety of human history about efficiency. It is and has always been about mitigating disasters. That's why we band together and take care of each other as a social species.

I was way too young to have seen this, but afterwards, I couldn't get the image of grasping, mummified corpses everywhere like the streets of London in the third act of Lifeforce.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one on Janeway's side regarding Tuvix.

This period will go down as one of the greatest moments for Democrat attack ads in history. We're seeing LBJ "Daisy"-level spots daily.

I wish I could block a particular podcast advertisement as easily as I block something on social media or tell YouTube to never recommend a channel.
