@xereeto @mimi10v3 @morallawwithin I agree. I probably wasn't clear, but I mean the last tweet changes my impression for the better. Fairly or not, I find this particular argument vastly more compelling when presented by a non-vegetarian.

@pingu_pinguping @The_Davos_Man @9aCedarCourt I'm not sure they'd care. Hitler/nazi imagery is treated a lot more casually in India than in the west.
English
@The_Davos_Man @9aCedarCourt Also the Nazi swastika is at a different angle to the Asian one. If you asked an Indian to give you one with Nazi orientation they will definitely know what's up.

Making Nazi tattoos is illegal in almost every single European country except for one: Croatia. Which is why Neo Nazis specifically travel to Croatia to get Nazi tattoos. The fact that Platner specifically travelled to Croatia to get the SS tattoo, is whats revealing. Idiot.
History Speaks@History__Speaks
Anyone who thinks platner got the tattoo because he was an ideological Nazi—as opposed to a doofus who thought the skull and crossbones looked cool and didn’t know the historical meaning—is an idiot or bad faith.

@tracewoodgrains This discourse has been very confusing to me, a person who thinks both "Boy, I sure am lucky to have been born in America" and "I'm not a soul who rolled a die with what body to inhabit" are obviously true.
English
it's fun to find the topics where you know exactly the response you'll get on Twitter, polarized precisely by political subtribe, with next to zero correspondence to how people in the real world not up to speed on the Discourse would respond
taoki@justalexoki
at least 100 replies here mention some variation of "ur not a soul who rolled a dice with what body to inhabit. you're you because of ur parents". where is this coming from? it's all too similar for it to be genuine. who started this idea? why?

@RichardWaggles @Marky_X_ @Blaugast She runs the company that published it, but there's no indication it was her idea or even that she was creatively involved.

Nope. Welcome to where game design meets business.
If they have fail states, that means you need to make dynamic audio adjustments to the licensed soundtrack. This requires negotiation and a higher budget.
It's far easier and cheaper just to have game run automatically so the track syncs with what's happening on screen. Even giving the player control the character's movement like their speed would screw everything up.
It isn't artistic. It's lazy, and the fact that so many "media critics" didn't catch this should tell you something.
samwise@kojimahead
the fail state for me is how the scene doesn't hit or simply isn't cool if I fuck it up, the fact I didn't encounter any "fail states" on my run of this during my playthrough was what made it such a highlight. gamers in 2026 simply hate whimsy and that's fine but just say so.

@peterrhague Thomas Edison absolutely would've implemented lightbulb pop-up ads had it been technologically feasible to do so.
English
How did we allow popups to become a thing?
When you flick a light switch, it doesn’t refuse to turn the light on until you’ve confirmed that, no, you don’t want to sign up for a month free LightSwitchPro.
When you press the lever on your toaster, it doesn’t inform you the toast will get hot and ask if you’re sure.
The correct interface choice is always, every single time, that the Do The Thing button should Do The Thing.

@RangerManSam @ale_mc0 @Audjuice9989 @AI_EmeraldApple It's true that it was at a conference and at least one dev was present, but as far as I can tell it's just speculation that he was distracted and that this explains his poor performance. Dean himself does not make this excuse and just states bluntly, "I suck at Cuphead."
English
@BarbaBabbaBoo @ale_mc0 @Audjuice9989 @AI_EmeraldApple It was at a conference where the clip is from and while he was talking with the dev as well. It wasn't like he was alone while playing
English
I still can't believe this is real.
I remember this drama back when Cuphead was released, and most of the journalists' reviews clearly indicated that they couldn't even beat the first boss.
Same with other games like black myth Wukong, where reviewers complained about the absence of certain elements in the game, where it exists later in the game.
No wonder they love Mixtape. You don't even need to press buttons...
Eldritch Horror@Themyster1ous01
I can plainly see why those games journalists love Mixtape.

@RangerManSam @ale_mc0 @Audjuice9989 @AI_EmeraldApple or in his longer explanatory follow-up after the video blew up. (2/2)
English
@RangerManSam @ale_mc0 @Audjuice9989 @AI_EmeraldApple I know he didn't write a review of Cuphead. He did make a GamesBeat post about it along with the video but he was actually very complimentary of the game.
I'm not sure where the idea he was distracted comes from. He may have been, but he doesn't say so in the post (1/2)
English
@Legal_Fil this particular example seems consistent with regular old sensationalism
English
Polymarket is one of the worst purveyors of misinformation (if not worse) on this site.
It regularly portrays possibilities as occurrences. Hard not to think there is an ulterior motive here, in terms of driving irrational betting behavior.

Hanging out w/ 2 year old niece, holding her up with one hand while watering plants with a watering can with my other hand, “and shall we water this one? And this one?”, 3 year old nephew comes up behind me and shouts “I am knuckles” and starts repeatedly punching me in the spine

@avi_eisen @brianluidog the original Jurassic Park is much better than any of the sequels (including the Spielberg-directed Lost World)
English
@brianluidog I haven't seen either, have seen later Jurassic films and didn't like them, you can usually tell which scene Spielberg put in as executive producer. Same with Transformers
English
@ale_mc0 @Audjuice9989 @AI_EmeraldApple Possibly you're right that he was playing distractedly but Dean Takahashi is very much a games journalist.
English
@Audjuice9989 @AI_EmeraldApple No this isn’t a game journalist playing in the vid, it was just a media guy playing at some event and talking with people not looking at the screen fiddling with buttons.

@3RenChengHu Have those consumers considered that their shifting preferences may hurt farmer's feelings?
English
Lots of predictably terrible takes about how this proves capitalism is the worst, but the real story is that this type of peach was bred for canning, and consumer preferences have shifted towards fresh fruit, which we can afford now because capitalism is the best.
Pubity@pubity
California peach farmers are destroying around 420,000 peach trees after fruit company Del Monte filed for bankruptcy. Farmers are heartbroken for having to destroy their orchards, but they have to pivot to other crops to try and stay afloat.

inb4 "I stopped consenting in my mind but couldn't find the strength to release the Consentinel because I was scared."
critter@BecomingCritter
Silence is NOT consent But what happens when someone consents, then changes their mind? Silence is STILL NOT CONSENT That’s why I spent the last three years designing, engineering, prototyping, testing, and contacting dozens of suppliers in China to bring you: The Consentinal™️ The world’s first continuous consent confirmation device Simply press and hold the CONSENT button to activate a repeating tone, letting your partner know that consent is actively being given The moment you let go, the tone stops No more ambiguity "But what if me or my partners are deaf, mute, or they don't have use of their arms?" The Consentinel™️ has light-flashing and vibrating functionality. It also has a soft rubber button so that the device can easily and comfortably be used in one's mouth Not only that, it can be wireless connected to other Consentinels™️ so that two or more partners can unanimously indicate consent. Letting go of any one button stops the consent indicator on all connected Consentinels™️! Consentinel™️, because consent should never be assumed
