Infovictory / Overruled Lindsey Adler talks with The Onion’s Ben Collins; Trevor Alixopulos on a lifetime of reflections

Wrote about my friend @bencollins.bsky.social flaminghydra.com/issue-548/

Every time you see a retelling of someone playing Caves of Qud it seems like one of those stories where no sentence has any connection to the previous sentence. But after you play the game you kinda just think shit like "yeah, that makes sense but you could have avoided that by growing another face"

What would people think the value of the very first Space Ghost Coast to Coast script written in my handwriting on a legal pad would be?

sometimes I mention a subject I’ve done Special Interest Deep Dives on and my partner will be shocked anew.

“I didn’t know but OF COURSE you spent a couple years studying and trying to practice magic with a k while also doing seven other things!!!”

I used to be so powerful. (I can’t recommend it)

this is the first I’m hearing about “Last War in Albion” and I could NOT BE MORE EXCITED TO READ

This is so monumentally fucked up on every level I feel sick to my stomach.

all right who has recs for like, fun femme button-up shirts in floral patterns and big sizes

a lot of folks missed the initial preorders/extras, so I’ve put up one more (final) round of preorders! ends April 30th

bloodborne doesn’t need a remaster or a 60fps upgrade. /you/ need to relax and appreciate a perfect object as it is

i hate to be that person, but if you (the author of the piece) are so dumb that you think that someone asking for more sensitive language at an event is equivalent to the use of state power to curb speech maybe your stupidity is part of the problem with higher ed

Why don’t y’all realize that we /hate/ this man and his ilk? I don’t want an apology from someone who has sown so much hate and discord! I want him banished! He’s a liar and an absolute nightmare person.

You can’t complain about people not voting for you /while platforming our real opponents/

Overall I think valve publishing actual number of concurrent players has hurt the industry so much.

Corporate centrists are absolutely obsessed with the idea that defeating fascism is dependent on extremists “coming to their senses” when in reality the people moving away from Trump are becoming more extreme and will radicalize their followers if material conditions aren’t addressed.

It’s always striking to me how much the people who’ve been complaining about feminists being “man haters” for all these decades do, in fact, *actually* think men are monsters

and not unintentional - many cis folk need to cleanse any hint of queerness or transgression from their choices in order to feel comfortable. the current mainstream promotion of hormones for cis folk goes hand in hand with the removal of trans access to them

we've always advocated for change and access beyond our own needs - for bodily autonomy, names changes, hormones, identity construction, non-traditional family, transgression of gender norms - for everyone who might benefit from them

another thing which irks me about the Cis People Taking Hormones columns is trans folk have long said "maybe a lot of folk would be happier with a slightly different hormonal setup to what their body produces"

me! too!!!

Babies

why don’t they know that we /hate/ these people, regardless of what they say?

are dems clueless? mostly. gloating? probably. obsessed with proximity to power and exposure over all else? definitely 🙄

openly thrilled when a republican likes them, preferring maga over leftists? ALWAYS

speaking from limited personal experience: some of them /really do/ buy the marketing

painterly rock texture with some selective vibrant colors
