So now the US president is openly threatening US citizens with denied entry at the border? Am I getting that right?

makes sense. Epic immediately started offering in-app store software, so other companies could implement Fortnite-like stores into their own apps in a way that bypasses Apple’s payment system. It’s plain to see that Apple will do everything they can to stop that from happening. Services are about 25% of Apple’s revenue, which means that if they lose most of that revenue stream, their profit margin is almost cut in half. Combine that with how much tariffs are going to cut into iPhone revenue, and now this is more like an existential fight for Apple.

I need to look Ella Purnell up

Yellowjackets is the big one! Sweetpea is a recent one that was pretty solid. She also voices Jinx in Arcane.

tbh i feel like that was less than a year ago, so this turnaround for Season 2 feels fast for me. But maybe because i’ve still been seeing Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell in everything.

interesting to discover that MAGA does have a line for what they are willing to accept. Up until this moment I truly thought he could say or do whatever he wants and MAGA would drink it down like castor oil. Also fascinating that Trump has brushed up against this line already, not even 6 months into this term. We are in for a long 4+ years…

well, that’s a big bummer. AbleGamers has clearly done an outsized amount of advocacy work in the industry, and it’s awesome that we have stuff like the Xbox Adaptive Controller. Way less cool if the entire org was rotten at the top. Some of these incidents make me wonder if Barlet even cared all that much about disabled folks.

The industry still struggles with basic accessibility options in a lot of games - many studios will implement a wide array of accessibility options, but they do the absolute bare minimum for each disability, such that it looks like they are being inclusive to the gamers that don’t actually use those options. Colorblind options are a common culprit. Basic color filters over the entire screen are insufficient for most colorblind gamers.

One wonders if Able Gamers would be tackling issues like this more directly if their founder had his eye on the ball (instead of having his eye on his coworkers’ breasts)

the right detains people for simply holding different political views and talking about them online. Meanwhile, the Biden admin couldn’t even be bothered to file the papers for Trump’s actual treason against the United States.

i think it makes sense to be skeptical. they’ve shown one game for it that seems neat but not revolutionary. I think this is just a case of “the switch 2 has to do something that the switch can’t do, besides running prettier games.”

tbh it seems okay except i’m not sure where the ring and pinky fingers are supposed to rest. The dual-mouse possibilities are very intriguing, but i remain cautiously optimistic. this vid didn’t change my feelings one way or the other.

Every Shotcut update is a win for the world. Shotcut is already perfect for small-scale video projects that don’t require all the bells and whistles. Every update brings it closer to feature parity with the Premieres and Vegases of the world.

from the very first line of the linked article:

When Australia holds its federal elections on Saturday, it’ll do so with the requirement that all eligible citizens head to the polls and vote. If they don’t, the Australian Electoral Commission will fine them $20 AUD (that’s roughly $13 USD).

Even just the excerpts that alyaza provided make it clear that the headline is more metaphorical than literal.

exactly what i was gonna post. it’s hidden by default now and you can set a username to further hide that identity

it sucks that half of my favorite studios are now owned by a company that makes it’s money on literally killing people. i want to support the devs for the amazing games that they made but i don’t want my money supporting that heinous shit.

they were in turmoil over the past week, everyone was expecting that Fandom was gutting the division but they would continue trotting out GB’s corpse.

I’m stoked about this news! I don’t super care for the current Giant Bomb crew, but the current dudes are all good people, and I’ve loved all past iterations of the site. So it’s really exciting to see GB finally open a new chapter!

Fandom was the third company in a chain of companies that bought Giant Bomb. For some reason they were always “bundled” with CNET and GameSpot, so as those sites have been passed around, Giant Bomb was just along for the ride, I guess.

Disney+ is being targeted by BDS right now. Perfect excuse to sail the high seas for Andor and skip the ads 👌

hopefully they don’t start a patreon like the other devs.
