When someone says “I really like this” movie / TV show / book / video games etc, I’m intrigued by the impulse some folks have to waddle into their replies and say “oh, but EYE didn’t like it.”

What is that impulse? What’s its intention / social function?

Fuck book bans. Fuck fascists.

"Trans people no longer allowed to drive in Kansas" is a real headline. In case you don't think this is Nazi shit, let me assure you: this is Nazi shit.

A good piece, but an additional aspect is nearly everything we do exploits resources in ways we need to avoid. Which is to say the entire foundation / thrust of our technologies is often deeply flawed and does not consider ecosystems, biodiversity, etc in other than an exploitive or Disneyfied way.

As a very leftist tech worker with 25+ years in the software industry, this article spoke perfectly to how I feel about AI and technology right now

What a powerful piece of games reporting. @mothership.blog is already providing some of the best gaming journalism of the year.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

All of them. At every level. Logistics, admin, the lowliest, most distant pencil-pushers. All of them. Every single one. Even if it takes decades to find them all and the last ones are old and remorseful when they get caught. All of them.

Remember when we as Americans seemed to collectively agree that countries like China & Russia that censor media were bad? I guess we’ve decided to join them

That’s great, enjoy the game! I had a great time with it. I would love to know if you were inspired by any specific games. Not sure if you talked about that here or in any recent interviews

So i guess this is what it felt like when Scar took over and turned everything into Shadowland.

@chuckwendig.bsky.social I’m reading The Staircase In The Woods, and I’m curious if you happen to have heard of the game Blue Prince which was also released this year. Also this book fuckin’ rocks! 🤘
