  • For anyone who wants to have a look at a full issue of that magazine: A few of them can be found online.

  • Yeah, I don't have much hope in that regard. I am sure Takahashi's involvement with the series will mean that the original manga's casual misogyny will be toned down, but I doubt that Takahashi will change much about the overall plot.

    A small correction from the OP, because Stephanie Sterling makes a small mistake: Embracer has no connection to the infamous "Gollum" game. Embracer purchased Middle-Earth Enterprises after the devs behind "Gollum" had already inked their deal.

    Game Studio's Job Requirement: 'Non Negotiable' Nude Sauna Sessions

    "It is not about getting naked. It’s about experiencing different kind of sauna," LinkedIn's new 'saunaman' wrote.

    Game Studio's Job Requirement:  'Non Negotiable' Nude Sauna Sessions

    cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/21314190 >Someone asked him if being naked would be required, and he said “it is not about getting naked. It’s about experiencing different kind of sauna. And, if you knew anything about it, wetness level inside Bania or Steam one is around 90%. So, towel is extremely wet after few seconds. So, you can still do it, but it may result with fungal infection. Also, based on recommendation from Polskie Towarzystwo Saunowe [the “Polish Sauna Society”], you should be naked in Bania or Steam and with or without towel in dry one :)”

    Ethiopia: [...] It is one of the few African countries that enacted its own anti-gay laws – most others inherited those laws from Britain.

    The Bittersweet Feeling Of Seeing Your Game Revealed After Getting Laid Off
  • Yeah, that is - unfortunately - how it usually goes. The average game developer stays in the gaming industry for ~7 years and then gives up and does something else entirely.

  • Here comes trouble
  • "My child..."

  • The AI bill that has Big Tech panicked
  • AI execs: Our AIs are going to be so powerful. More powerful than anything. Soon they could be able to destroy humanity!

    Governments: Well, then we better regulate that shit and make sure that doesn't happen...

    AI execs: Nooooo! We did not mean it that way!

  • Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition trophies emerge, suggesting a release soon
  • There is a legitimate reason why we may see "something" in the future.

    Ubisoft accepted subsidies from the French government for the production of BGE2, which puts BGE2 in a similar place like "Skull and Bones": "Skull and Bones" was partially financed by subsidies from the Singaporean government. So BGE2 is trapped in the same weird limbo "Skull and Bones" was trapped in for years. Ubisoft has to figure out whether they actually want to finish the game or write a big, fat check to the French government.

    We all know how that turned out for "Skull and Bones", so I am not going to get my hopes up.

  • The abs that shook the pillars of civilization
  • Your quote reminds me of one of the biggest misconceptions about Judith Butler's work who wrote so much about gender....

    People constantly misquote them and say that Butler wrote that "gender is a performance" and assume that Butler meant that gender is fake.

    What Butler Butler actually wrote is that "gender is performative", ie. it involves a performance that communicates our gender identity to others without the performance being the end-all-be-all of gender.

  • The abs that shook the pillars of civilization
  • The """alpha male's""" masculinity is so fragile, they threw a conniption when seeing a picture of a fit woman.

  • X is about to start hiding all likes
  • No, you see it's not like education makes you see past your own prejudices and that makes you more liberal. If you are liberal you get awarded an education by the shadowy cabal that controls the education system with DEI measures! This guy only wants a tRuE mERiToCrACy where disenfranchised, downtrodden bigots get a chance to attend university where they are taught about the superiority of their white Aryan race.

    /s if it isn't apparent.

  • Georgia to introduce Kremlin-style anti-LGBTQ
  • Without doubt, it will. Though the GD party is not keen on joining the EU anymore anyway and favor Russia. Laws like this will make it easy for the GD to blame the EU when the EU makes the inevitable decision to suspend Georgia's admission process.

  • Georgia to introduce Kremlin-style anti-LGBTQ
  • Technically this year, but already after the last elections in 2020, there were credible allegations of election fraud in favor of the ruling GD party which resulted in massive protests. Since then GD has only tightened its hold of the country's institutions and has suppressed civil society. You can see why the upcoming elections aren't looking promising...

  • egg_irl [Transfem meme]
  • So much this.

    It is the very definition of being cis to not understand wanting to be a different gender than the one being assigned at birth. People who are uncomfortable with their assigned gender are not cis.

    But many need a while to realize that other people do not feel the way they do.
