I’m 100% not okay with stealing and ransoming people’s personal information, but this makes me want to be 99% not okay with it.

For those who can’t watch right now

I thought Tommy was the White Power Ranger?

“Monado” has no specific meaning and is just a name.

As a Xenoblade fan, I call BS.

But I do expect we’ll see more open source VR solutions and support as adoption increases. They’re still in that phase of expensive luxury goods in most cases - PSVR costs more than a PS5 and also requires one to work, Index is $1000, and I don’t even know where the Apple headset got its pricing.

Most of these also want to lock down their VR as a platform, instead of being ubiquitous hardware like a monitor, and I think lack of standardization is gonna hurt them in the long run by narrowing their audience.

He got it off a hair dryer!

Trust him, he’s an expert on not paying bills.

I don’t know if you’re into gaming, but Steam Next Fest has a demo for a claymation adventure game called Harold Halibut that’s pretty awesome

Also Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart was great and I don’t hear many other people talk about it

But deliberately misunderstanding the term antisemitism is also quite frustrating.

Given how the term is broadly understood in modern usage, I wouldn’t say the players are misunderstanding it; I think it’s more a question of misidentifying where the pushback is actually coming from.

And I am sympathetic, given all the reasons both modern and historical that might make it easy to infer antisemitism. But starting there shuts out any possibility for nuance or discussion or learning.

What frustrates me is how hard it is to get people out of that mindset - of taking things other people are communicating and adding one’s own assumptions on where they’re coming from. You have to be able to recognize how your behavior is limiting your ability to empathize and grow, and that kind of change can be so challenging.

It feels like an uphill battle, but positive change doesn’t happen overnight.

I’m no linguist, but aren’t Palestinian people also under the umbrella of Semites? Like, by definition?

With horror movies, you at least have that layer of knowing it’s not real. Seeing the real horrors of mankind without that to protect you is truly disturbing.

Maybe we’ll finally get a playable version of Kingdom Hearts

Yeah in my experience it’s largely where you go.

Leftist spaces obv have a lot more Palestinian independence discussion.

There are lots of moderate spaces that allow open discourse that still slant toward the anti-genocide part of the equation.

Then you have places like worldnews that heavily moderate out any pro-Palestine discussion and allow for heavy astroturfing. This is kind of a big one because it’s one of the more popular places to get non-US news. So if you didn’t know how it was being moderated, you might just assume that reddit is just randomly super bloodthirsty or something.

Yep pulled the hoses off the showers, IIRC

I can’t wait to play more JSRF. Haven’t grabbed Bomb Rush Cyberfunk yet but super happy to see both official and third party solutions for my fix

Having an actual address is ingrained in all aspects of modern life in the US. Picture trying to get a loan for a car, or applying for a job without an address - mandatory fields when doing either. Then look at the housing market, and it would be obvious to anybody why it’s so hard for these people.

I’m not one to tee off on people who show growth and empathy.

Pretty sure Moses wasn’t the one in charge of Egypt in Exodus.

Maybe he should stop reading his weekly report about his son’s masturbation habits and open a Bible.
