I'm 100% convinced that the bulk of MAGA grievances are that they just genuinely do not know how anything works, so they get mad at the people who do.

the thing most ppl who say "but trump/republicans are LYING!" don't understand is that a significant portion of the american right knows he's lying and see lying with efficacy as a mark of success. to them, in a predatory country like america, you're either a sucker or a winner

“Microsoft has nearly tripled revenue to $245.1 billion, nearly quadrupled net income to $88.1 billion” “Microsoft increased payouts to shareholders by 10%”— business booms. they get payouts, you get laid off

i'm often saying this!!

Happy Halloween

So I could write the 5000th piece once again listing Trump's sins -- "He's explicitly said he loves dictators & wants to be one!" -- but they've all been listed a million times. His supporters don't care. And I wouldn't know what to write to make someone care or be decent.

That's where I've been ever since 2015: feeling like language is pointless. Like the reality I inhabit is so far from the reality Trump supporters inhabit that discourse between us is impossible, or at least futile. The divide is unbridgeable.

“It was an accident!! He’s autistic!!”

European news is all “what is to be done about this Nazi doing Nazi salutes at the Capitol while controlling half the world’s communications satellites” while U.S. media is talking about “awkward gestures” and the “severe intellectual disabilities” of the world’s richest man.

Games fail and studios close because of C-suite executives. Not because of the characters in those games, the devs making those games, the community managers for those games, or the POC/queer folks working on those games. Anyone saying otherwise is lying to get your money.

Awwww did someone take your hard work and use it to train a model to mimic your expertise without compensation

Just going to continue emphasizing that this, detaining a bunch of people who haven’t been convicted of a crime and incarcerating them en masse in a fortified location against their will because they are part of a specific ethnicity or other group, is a concentration camp

To everybody that downplayed claims of Trump being fascistic: you really fucked up on this one.

Super Metroid (SNES, 1994)

Everyone asking “how is this legal?” It’s not!! But unfortunately we’ve set the precedent that rich people are above the law so here we are.

you wanna know what kind of tech ACTUALLY “democratizes art”? MSPaint, iMovie, RPGMaker, Garage Band, VLC Player, Godot, Twine, Audacity, Blender, archive dot org, GitHub, aseprite, Windows Movie Maker, GIMP,

Plot twist: it's all my music

here's my thing: game music needs to be memorable. they can be "vibey", i guess, but if they aren't memorable in a meaningful way and it's not stuck in your head then it's missed an opportunity for immersion
