People saying "10 EVOs is good! You're just hating because it's gonna give people opportunities!" is hyper reminding me of the last time I had to argue that, when all the best MKX players from around the US got flown to a compound in ATL and lived there for months/years as a front for selling drugs.
this is, to me, the strongest argument against the proliferation of easy gambling. the personal ruin is worth considering. it's nothing next to the erosion of public trust
This might come off as biased, but Climax of Night started out with less than 200 people and there were 1,000+ of us in the building when it wrapped up last year. Several of us were bawling our eyes out.
There is so much that can still be done without EVO that will matter to a whole lot of people.
“the president’s speech is going to be over two hours long!” they’re doing kalshi shit guys. they’re leaking a bunch of stuff about a super long speech and he’ll go about 2 minutes short of the supposed mark and everyone in the white house will make $200k on it
Did anyone make this yet?
If any of you make a single piece of information about The State of the Union known to me in any way you will receive an invoice for $100 per occurrence.

I'm not really shocked when I see so many people clutching their pearls about the Evo situation when Evo has NOT been the center of community for quite some time. To say that fighting games/locals are doomed solely because of the new acquisition shows how little people actually supported the FGC
The EVO situation is dire.
This guy gets it.
Manga panel from the girls play fighting games manga of girl on her knees dropping her stick yelling LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Damn, there was some HUGE news regarding one of the backbones of the FGC today huh?
🎂HAPPY BIRFDAY @shib.live!!!
They stay holding it down for every single FG, big or small. Give your flowers & coins to the dude who has saved the fgc more times than I can count!

You guessed it lmao
Seeing someone do the equivalent of shouting at the waiter over this EVO shit was very funny at least
what am i supposed to do now just donate & go back to work like usual? have a snack & look over some contracts like anything is normal, like it matters compared to the enormity of the kidnappings & deportations & concentration camps? like, hope he'll be ok, anyway, about these licensing terms? wtf
Rumbleverse needs to return!
I uploaded a thing. See you tomorrow.
I'm not even a fan of DOA's brand of horny but I hope it's just amazingly, unremarkedly the same. It's good for the ecosystem. We need stupid boob jiggle for proper biodiversity.
Really sorry to hear about all the layoffs at Riot today. I'm sad for so many of my friends who worked there for so long & had so little time with the release, that sucks. Imo the best part of 2XKO is that so many folks made salaries & careers out of it. I hope the future will be better for y'all
Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.
Getting old is admitting that you wish your favorite series' would actually just die, because them continuing to be alive is a much, much worse fate
tbh imo it's less this and more that they could see the winds shifting and they knew they could materially benefit from stoking it further because they were in the perfect position to do so. that's what guys like this do. when you've already in a position like that you can do whatever you want.
People talking about events needing tighter security due to the actions of one psychopath after I spent a weekend in overflowing bag check lines behind hordes of stinky fucking people please be so serious right now
The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll
The craziest thing about using gen AI for any type of marketing rn is that beyond any & all ethical concerns, it's just social suicide. I would like to imagine that even if someone did not give a shit whatsoever about the ramifications of AI, they'd at least care about the optics. But nah lol
We need an Every Single ICE Employee and Republican Elected Official is Going to Prison party.
important message to all bluesky users
the water thing about genAI is bullshit but the thing where it makes on-demand nudes and CSAM isn't and the thing where it talks you into killing yourself isn't and those seem pretty bad
When are we making one of these for EWC?
