This was incredibly cathartic to write, especially with everything going on in my life the last few years. We've leap frogged from one emergency to the next, and 2024 has been the worst. But, healing. medium.com/@LotRLore/trials-…

My late husband @Totalbiscuit being mentioned in a monetized lazy listicle video by @WatchMojo called "10 YouTubers Who Made Videos When They Knew They Were Dying" is tasteless enough. Plugging their AI slop music project in it as well? Unforgiveable. You should be ashamed.

Bradford has spent the last month with ModRetro's M64 FPGA console, putting it through its paces. While this isn't our final review, here is what he thinks of the console so far. mmorpg.com/hardware/just-fun…

For anyone trying to understand the context of this. (rewrite - please read the final line before replying) Alyssa Mercante (journalist) is suing SmashJT (YouTuber) over what she in court describes as an extended harassment and defamation campaign tied to "videogame culture war". It pretty much boils down to allegations that he: - repeatedly wrongly accused and defamed her across Twitter & YouTube, - encouraged people to ostracize and target her, - damaged her reputation and career, - and contributed to her losing income through journalistic opportunities. The big issue for him is that he apparently just... kept going. Publicly. Constantly. He could have stopped being a horrible person at any time. Even after the lawsuit was filed he just never stopped Tweeting and Streaming talking about her. And there are tons of screenshots, tweets, clips, and YouTube videos documenting it. Now from what we're seeing, he's losing major parts of the case, is reportedly closing in on $80K in legal debt, and could potentially end up paying punitive damages on top of that. All because he seemingly refused to stop posting about her online, disparaging her reputation and making false accusatory tweets. Alyssa just wanted to not be falsely accused of weird things and harassed constantly, and SmashJT didn't want to stop attacking, now he's facing consequences of his actions. No winners here, not because Alyssa isn't going to win. But because she DESERVES more money than whatever he can pay for what he put her through.
.@SmashJT choked back tears last night. A week after not buying his wife a Mother's Day gift he tells her they cannot proceed w/ improvements on their kids' bathroom thats in "shitty condition" due to his escalating legal costs. Failure as a husband & father reaches new depths.

I went to Iceland and came away not simply thinking about @EveOnline itself, but entropy and existentialism.

I just realized I went through the entirety of EVE Fanfest and didn't say hi to @annagudbjorg. That makes me sad, my interview with her was one of my favorites last year.

This is utterly fucking terrible.
We asked Big Red to help announce the schedule... he may have taken the assignment too seriously @SeatGeek | #RiseUpRedSea | azcards.social/4eEwJIh

For all the complaining about reviews allegedly being influenced by publishers, changing or hiding your opinion on a game because of your audience is just as bad
This is such an unforced error. (take it from a guy who's made several of them) The comments section is absolutely brutal. I don't know why you wouldn't notice how much people are trashing this game for its fake gameplay, and then days later upload this. Why say anything?

I'm a huge fan of @GoogleDeepMind - hell, AlphaGo is the reason I started to learn the game of Go. Really excited to see what comes from the research into EVE here.
I've always been passionate about games and they've played a big part in @GoogleDeepMind’s history, as the perfect proving ground for AI. Thrilled to announce this research partnership with @FenrisCreations - @EveOnline is one of the most extraordinary games ever built and has an amazing community. Very excited to work with @HilmarVeigar and the team!

this your husband?
Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
