Obligatiory recommendedation: Jason co-hosts a gaming news podcast called Triple Click, alongside Maddy Myers, Deputy Games Editor at Polygon, and Kirk Hamilton, formerly of Kotaku and now host of Strong Songs. They’re excellent at their work.
Reworked skill trees and new minigames aside, Cyberpunk 2077's 2.0 update includes a Ukrainian localisation of the game's million-plus-word script. It turns out the Ukrainian version is awash with references to Russia's on-going invasion of Ukraine, all of it seemingly in support of the latter. The news comes via Zone of Games,...
To assume something isn’t true based solely on the fact that you’ve never experienced it demonstrates a profound lack of empathy and critical thought. So does taking the time to complain about trans people in a meme instead of having an actual conversation with another human being.
If you take the time to do the latter instead, you might develop a shred of empathy, but you’re afraid to, because that might mean you have to admit that you’re wrong.
Bungie has announced in its latest Destiny 2 this Week at Bungie blog a major change to the game's economy. Legendary Shards, one of the game's many, many currencies is going away....
This article has a pretty negative slant, but is anyone actually sad they’re going? I’ve been playing on and off since 2014, and I never have enough shards. My friends that have played almost nonstop since launch constantly have more than they could ever spend, even if they masterworked every piece of gear in their collection. Seems like a good change, honestly.
I know this is obvious, but Cash’s beliefs are endlessly fascinating. The same man who recorded “Ragged Old Flag” also wrote “Man in Black” and covered “Out Among the Stars.” The latter is a song about a kid who commits suicide by cop because he doesn’t feel like his life matters.
The project will see Rubi Laboratories, a California-based startup, capture carbon dioxide gases created in Walmart supply-chain factories, then turn it into yarn to use in a brand-new clothing line....
When it comes to building a sustainable settlement on Mars, the technological and engineering challenges are steep. But they take a back seat to the Human Resources department.

Tl;dr: “I’m making broad, sweeping generalizations that condemn everyone who thinks differently than I do, while at the same time accusing everyone I disagree with of making broad, sweeping generalizations about me. People with different lifestyles than my own scare me, and instead of trying to learn or develop empathy, I’m going to complain that the rest of the world doesn’t loath trans and poor people as much as I do and daydream about a society where they don’t exist.”
The greatest trick the far right ever pulled was convincing the country that “activist” is a bad word.
I always thought the movie was controversial because it was about JFK getting killed and the story of who was involved, I was waaaay off the mark. This movie sounds awesome, lemme get my soda, popcorn and 3-D glasses!

Sorry to get weirdly serious on a shitpost, but I don’t know if a concept does cease to exist just because you’re currently not thinking about it.
That’s partly the theme of the novel The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, which argues–in quite a lovely way–that ideas have a life of their own. No one remembers Addie, and yet she still leaves marks on the world.
Anyway, have an upvote cause Ralph made me laugh, then overthink.
