NEW: A “Vatican source close to Pope Leo XIV” tells NBC Chicago that the Pentagon meeting between Trump officials and the Vatican’s top American diplomat “was most unpleasant and confrontational.”
This is now the fifth news outlet to describe the meeting in this way.
I'm currently running a playtest for Temple Maker 64
And look, people have already published dungeons 👀
Let's try one out! ⚔️

Wife: “I feel like we need some sort of spray cheese”
Absurd. After Pope Leo criticized Trump's war in Iran, Pentagon officials reportedly invoked the Avignon Papacy as a warning—a devastating 14th century military conquest of the Catholic Church. Pope Leo has since cancelled his planned US visit
Tl:dr Even the Pope appears unsafe from Trump’s fascism
Back in 1953, Iran was pretty much ahead of where the United States is today. Until the United States showed up for the oil, that is.
The people are asking you to out the incurious devs
True story: James Madison’s final public act was to warn the 1829 Virginia convention that if they allowed white men who didn’t own property to vote, that they’d all vote to tax rich slaveholders until they were forced to free the people they enslaved.
Just in case you thought any of this was new.
Screenshot of a tweet by Acyn quoting comments accusing Pete Hegseth’s department of committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure. The image shows a split-screen MSNBC segment with two commentators discussing U.S. actions related to Iran.
It's more than an embarrassment. It's a reason to put him on trial at The Hague.
I do zero creative stuff anymore besides feed my wife.

Gamers need to watch more Top Chef
This just comes down to the immaturity of the game design discourse and the sensitivity of the people having it.
The polite thing is to discuss the subjectivity of it. But are gamers polite? Does the history of gaming even encourage politeness?
The differences between games with randomizers and roguelikes is
- scale of procedural generation
- if they’re new - branding
Someone posted on the comments section for my #pixelart pack asking for this style of art for other games.
So like… Not Double Dragon? Not Mario? Not Metroid? Not Contra? A Not Final Fantasy bestiary could be cool…?

MGS2 and other games from earlier generations should be part of game art education and learning and not only about only real time and the latest tech. If you can make a hallway interesting with just an electrical box and a handful of pipes and let colour and light work for you then you get it.

The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm
GDC's 2026 IGF winner calls out U.S. cruelty at home and abroad
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
Videos of Vice President JD Vance's warnings that voting for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election would lead to the U.S. entering "stupid wars" and reinstituting the draft have resurfaced following President Trump's attacks on Iran.
Game is still in early access and characters are being reworked - so maybe progression will get fixed.
And it’s probably not as bad as I am making it out to be. Might even be a really interesting case study in turning it around. We’ll find out in a year i guess
I guess I prefer games that always keep your original tools relevant and provide unique new tools to handle edge cases, but also my taste is exquisite and games that don’t do it that way are bad
Literally what you said.
It’s 3/4 view dark souls. Progression is bogged down with stat inflation, item power inflation, and skills. The game starts out great but as you go deeper it unravels.
To lots of players it just seems like a “git good” moment, but the breadth of player options narrows.
Have you played No Rest For the Wicked? They’re so close…
In other words, protests need to be tied to strikes that reinforce political demands with our ability to withhold labor in an organized and strategic way
