The president of the United States just referred to the Epstein survivors as, "Victims or whatever".

Sec. Kennedy: Mercury is absolutely—it’s the most powerful neurotoxin we know of in the universe. Rep. Harder: So why are you working for an administration that is doubling the amount of mercury pollution in our air and water? Sec. Kennedy: I am running HHS and I’m ending the chronic disease epidemic. I’m not going to comment on that because I don’t know anything about it. Rep. Harder: Well, that’s very convenient for you, and it shows a significant degree of cowardice. It’s not just mercury. President Trump in July 2025 granted 50 chemical plants— Sec. Kennedy: Why don’t you ask me something that I’m in charge of instead of other things? Rep. Harder: Are you not in charge of Health and Human Services?

This is exactly why I stopped believing in petitions and that whole “Call your senators” bs. For the hundredth time, You cannot reason with someone who only sees dollar signs. 98% of our senators have already made the choice to burn the world for billionaires.

it’s impossible to debate rightwingers because things that are crucial to their worldview, like this, are just entirely fabricated

@MaximumADHD @EversTrainz its more than just him wanting to pay the bills?

@EversTrainz I know more about what happened behind the scenes. Situation is infuriating, but unfortunately it's not my place to speak on it.

I find it kinda sad how the guy who made something that really inspired me and got me into researching more about old Roblox, ended up firing his friends and cancelling their most popular games over ai slop and profit for his own greed. Don't meet your heroes.

"I hope X tries to assault me so I have an excuse to beat their ass"/(insert imagining violent and gory imagery to calm down) okay sasuke do you want phonk in the background too? Are you gonna roundhouse kick them? Should we invite Leon Kennedy? Should we tell the joker

I wonder why cinemas are dying then I see another preview for ‘brands: the movie’ and maybe they deserve to die

@LegendOJ1_RBLX Your game will have no players before it has CCU and it often will remain that way for quite a while. Development can be costly, yeah, but not inherently, and building that into the process isn't ideal. I understand Roblox provides a lot for devs, but they also take a huge cut.

@LegendOJ1_RBLX The other requirements on their own are enough, especially the manual approval process. The $5 seems more like squeezing extra profit out. It's also not as simple as "just make the $ back." What about games that never take off? (2/3)*

People don't realize that we can't have nice things when people abuse them. We either let bad actors make games freely or we put up walls to deter them from doing so, pretty simple. The Roblox community talks and yells a lot but rarely proposes meaningful solutions to the child safety issues on the platform. And it's not as straightforward as "hiring more mods". Roblox has not taken away anyone's ability to create games freely - you can still make games for personal enjoyment without any age verification. This was how I and many others started as a young dev, just making games for the fun of it, not caring about having any players at all. For those who have games that have players, the likelihood of a game with any CCU at all making at least $5 a month to cover the Roblox Plus costs is actually pretty high. Most people who have games that have any players will most likely be able to afford Roblox Plus just from the game's revenue alone. Not to mention Roblox Plus is actually a pretty good-looking subscription anyway. The perks seem actually meaningful unlike the current Premium situation. People should see it as just another cost of running a business, no different to the money that already goes towards advertising or hiring devs. It's also worth noting that anyone in the DevEx program already has their ID verified, and if people are worried about having to verify their ID but they want to make games that make them money, they must realize that ID verification is already a requirement to cash that revenue out. To be able to publish games to kids, I fully agree with the type of vetting process that Roblox is proposing. The sole reason that bad actors slip through the cracks so often right now is because of a lack of vetting. It's unfortunate that it has to come to this, but these requirements will undoubtedly deter many bad actors who publish inappropriate content to kids. The one thing about this update that needs some more thought is the lengthy process of getting your game approved for All Ages. Realistically, most Roblox devs are going to be making games that kids will play. To restrict games to ages 16+ by default and have devs wait potentially WEEKS to be accessible to their target audience is a pretty annoying process. I think there is room to streamline this process as it seems like the only thing I can argue with about the whole change. Overall, this change shouldn't be as controversial as it has become. It's the easiest way to stop new inappropriate material surfacing on the platform. Will people still slip through the cracks? Sure, it can't be perfect and some people are willing to take the risk. But it will deter a lot of people who would've otherwise been free to publish that type of content. There are definitely flaws, but I think people underestimate Roblox's willingness to change things based on backlash. We should work together to come up with alternatives and fixes to these flaws rather than storming with pitchforks. On a final note though, I think most of this anger comes from Roblox constantly changing stuff rather than coming up with one policy that they stick to. It's like they rush features out then add the clarification and fixes later when people are already mad. They need to think through things more thoroughly and be more engaged with the community to gather an opinion on changes before they go live. It's no secret in Roblox's history that people don't like sudden changes, and the spree of sudden changes recently has really riled people up.

they'll put a woman in prison for a miscarriage but you can state your intent to let your kids die from a preventable disease and its fine

@AtsuyaRoblox @DedlaRoblox @SetSpawnRoblox how does this matter like at all

@DedlaRoblox @SetSpawnRoblox union/mesh for the wooden part of the lamp is craaazy

Building something different on Roblox. Project: Night Market. Focused on atmosphere, systems, and an experience that actually feels worth playing — not just another copy-paste. Still early. More soon. #Roblox #RobloxDev #GameDev

i could look up the word “the” using gmail’s search function and it would gleefully tell me i have never sent or received an email containing that word in my entire life

Recreating 2011-2013 Roblox style on studio #robloxstudio

They achieved it through expertise. Studios didnt cycle through devs, outsource away jobs. If they outsourced it was for gruntwork. People were allowed to build their skills over multiple decades and perfect their craft. Today youre lucky to hold a position for 3 years.
