One of the few games that makes me jealous of PS5 owners. Sony is getting their Super Mario Odyssey and I want it on my PC 😭

i need to make this meme now

I want to start by saying: you don't need to have a link to post to Politics! I think there's probably a subset of Beeple that prefer that anything politics related stays to that community, so they can filter it out easily if they don't want to engage with politics. My personal belief is that EVERYONE should be engaged with politics, but I know bad days happen and on those days just seeing Trump's name can push some people into a deeper spiral.

But you make a good point. For how conservative and corrupt this court is, it's surprising that they haven't been more brazen. In a lot of cases, when they haven't gone with the more politically-conservative ruling, it seems like they've aimed to reject the conservative argument on technical grounds more than anything. That said, they went scorched earth on the biggest rulings that have taken place since 2020, and to me, that says it all. They hear Congress and the President openly questioning their integrity, and they know this will lead to actual reforms of the Court if they let this continue. So they go back in their cave, and go back to making quiet little inconsequential rulings wherever possible. Then, when the bribe check is big enough or the ruling is important enough to the Conservative mission, they'll come back out swinging with a 6-3 ruling that ruins all of our lives even more.

But idk. I'm no expert, and it sounds like you are more plugged in to SCOTUS news than I am. Just some of my thoughts.

Glad they still left Frank lookin like a caveman

The accusation from two former Twitch employees, as posted on Twitter, was:

He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product. He was trying to meet up with her at TwitchCon. The powers that be could read in plain text.

Beahm's direct response to that specific allegation is:

Were there twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes. Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not. These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.

So the detail of "sexting" is "in dispute" in the sense that the predator denies the allegations, but predators always deny allegations. And the fact that his formal denial still included details like "sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate" is really sus.

So to me, saying "we don’t know if it was sexting, all we know for sure is that inappropriate messages were sent" has the same energy as saying “no criminal charges have ever been brought against me”. We don't need photo evidence to know he was a creep.

If you're just catching up on this news now: Twitch dropped him because they found Twitch DMs where he was sexting a minor and discussing plans to meet up with said minor at TwitchCon.

it's the car manufacturers that piss me off on this. Why is the license timed? Why isn't it licensed on a "per game release" basis? What does Toyota lose if the 94 Celica is still driveable in a dead racing game from 10 years ago? It's clearly a case of game devs having to acquiesce to the demands of stakeholders that don't understand video games.

Christ, well that's not surprising, but that doesn't make it any less horrific. As you mentioned several times in the quotes, the UN is meeting with the Taliban this Sunday to discuss Afghanistan as a whole, and the Taliban has demanded that no Afghani women be present for this meeting. This report really calls into question the point of the meeting. If the Taliban are treating Afghani women this way, and the Taliban deny that they are even arresting women for "bad hijab", then what is there to even talk about?

At this point, it might end up being a cross-gen/launch game for the next Switch.

Ugh so grim. This genocide just keeps on rolling and it feels like no one can do anything about it

I think i've seen "Beeple" used the most. I don't hate it!

i bring it up because there was a discussion at some point about whether beehaw as a whole should allow bots. I think the agreement was that some users still find them helpful. I'm just questioning if that is still the case, as the summary doesn't strike me as particularly useful. But if others disagree, then i have no beef with it.
