  • Subnautica 2 studio Unknown Worlds are now suing their former execs for stealing docs and sharing them with the press

  • Are they trying to speedrun their way to the bottom of the public opinion barrel? Already had low hopes after the takeover debacle, now even that is gone

  • Fewer People Are Reading for Fun, Study Finds | From 2003 to 2023, the share of Americans who read for pleasure fell 40 percent, a sharp decline that is part of a continuing downward trend.

  • I'm part of this as well. I read a ton as a kid to the point my parents took away my books as punishment. Gaming definitely did (and does) take up more and more time I could be reading with. But it's honestly been give and take. Recent games reignited a desire to read sci fi, so I got 3 books into the Dune series and read Neuromancer and some of Gibsons other short stories just this year.

    I hope that we see a resurgence similar to vinyl, where physical media gets a revival. I'll admit, i read quite a few books on my phone. Maybe I'm getting old, but having the actual books is becoming more and more appealing by the day. It might be coming back guys!

  • He learned the line, he was gonna say it dammit. If he'd wanted learnin' he'd have gone to school

  • Trump says economic growth ‘shatters expectations’. Data says otherwise

    Jump

  • I mean, I'm surprised our economy hasn't crumbled, so it's not technically untrue

  • Good point. July is disability pride

    Jump

  • When the latter doesn't trigger the empathy, I resort to the former. Some people are just too focused on their immediate surroundings to extend their empathy beyond their immediate family. That's an issue in itself, but whatever discussion is going on in OP is not going to address that

  • It's not even the track list for me, it's the track lengths. Some of them are 3 seconds lmao

  • Twist: There is a reliable method, but it is being suppressed because penis insecurity drives so many behaviors that it is considered a load-bearing pillar of world economics. Penis equity would lead to global collapse.

  • Subnautica's Original Creators Have Been Removed From Unknown Worlds "Effective Immediately", As Krafton Makes Concerning Leadership Changes

    Jump

  • Ffs one of the few games I was actively but patiently excited for, pretty much down the drain. I can only hope they make their own studio with blackjack and hookers

  • 20 bodies, some decapitated, found in part of Mexico where factions of Sinaloa cartel are fighting each other

  • ...with makeup.

  • US formally moves to dismiss prosecution against Boeing and asks judge to cancel trial over crashes

    Jump

  • Nope. At that point, you're new money with no way to sustain it. You're part of The Poors but with the added step of funneling that money into "better, more capable" hands, and a poor investment for a pardon.

  • Australian actor starts fundraiser to cryogenically preserve son, who died by suicide after bullying

    Jump

  • As far as I know, everyone who has been cryogenically frozen and thawed out has had to have their soup-ified remains be scraped out of the vat into a barrel. I cannot imagine voluntarily paying to sign my child up for that fate.

    They Warned Us in 1945: Fascism in America Would Look Like Patriotism - The Rational League

  • Absolutely. Saved a copy for when it inevitably gets censored. This summation stuck out to me:

    We often talk about MAGA as if it were a political disagreement. As if it were about taxes, jobs, or policy platforms. But what the research shows, across neurology, psychology, and political science, is that MAGA is something deeper: an identity reaction to perceived loss. It is fear rebranded as freedom. It is status anxiety rebranded as tradition. It is authoritarian psychology wearing the skin of patriotism.

    This isn’t just a movement of bad ideas. It’s a movement of deeply felt insecurity, fused to a political figure who offers vengeance, not vision. And in that fusion, the need for power replaces the desire for truth. The need to dominate replaces the value of liberty. The need to feel morally superior replaces the capacity for self-reflection.
