Pokémon Conquest was released on this day in 2012 on the Nintendo DS™ family of systems! In this unique turn-based strategy game, Trainers built a strong bond with their Pokémon in order to unite the vast Ransei region! 🏯

This is a map on why video games take up 5x the space they did 15 years ago just to look *slightly* more detailed.

I’ve referred these allegations to DOJ’s new Fraud Division for criminal investigation. Minnesota state officials are not above the law, and if they facilitated fraud, lied under oath about what they knew, or harassed and intimated whistleblowers, they must face justice.

Gotta love when a @Newsweek hack rushes to get a “Caitlin Clark trade to Sparks rumor” piece out for engagement farming, and forgets to delete their AI chat prompts from the piece.

It's such a shame that Blizzard fucked over World Of Warcraft completly over the years

I have fond memories of one of the best atmospheres in all of gaming

If you long for the classic fantasy of becoming a knight, slaying dragons, saving beautiful princesses, and carving your legend into a grounded Low Fantasy medieval world, Wishlist Knights Path on Steam.

I’m going to say this as calmly as possible:

Watching Caitlin Clark in the WNBA has become genuinely hard to stomach.

Not because she struggles sometimes. Not because she makes mistakes. Not because she gets criticized. That comes with being great.

It’s hard to stomach because it has become obvious that the league, the officials, the media, the players, and even her own organization have all decided that the most important thing is not letting Caitlin Clark become too big.

And that is insane.
@WNBA @IndianaFever
This league was handed the most marketable, electric, revenue-generating player women’s basketball has ever seen, and instead of building around the moment, too many people seem obsessed with humbling her.

She gets fouled. Held. Hit. Cheap-shotted. Mocked. Targeted. Then when she reacts like a normal competitor, suddenly everyone wants to analyze her attitude.

No.

Her attitude is not the story.

The story is that a generational player is being treated like a problem by the very league she helped drag into mainstream relevance.

This reminds me of the worst kind of youth coach... the one who sees a special player, feels threatened by her talent, and slowly drains the joy out of her in the name of “teaching humility.”

That is what this looks like.

The freedom she played with at Iowa is disappearing. The fire is still there, but the joy looks damaged. The confidence looks weighed down. She looks like someone constantly fighting the refs, opponents, narratives, coaching decisions, jealousy, and a league culture that should be protecting its golden opportunity instead of resenting it.

And let’s be honest: Stephanie White has not helped.

Benching Caitlin Clark randomly when she is controlling the game tempo, or having your best shooter off the floor in critical game ending minutes when a victory is within reach is basketball malpractice. Limiting her rhythm, downplaying her greatness, benching momentum, and treating her like just another piece instead of the engine is absurd.

You do not take a player who changed the economics of your sport and manage her like you’re afraid her greatness might offend the room.

Nike deserves criticism too. Other players get signature shoes rolled out with urgency, while the biggest draw in women’s basketball is somehow still waiting on that signature shoe. That is not confusing. That is revealing.

Fans are not stupid.

They see the fouls.
They see the double standards.
They see the jealousy.
They see the media resentment.
They see the league benefiting from her popularity while refusing to fully embrace her.
And here is the part the WNBA better understand quickly:
People are not tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be humbled.
They are tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be great.
If she walked away tomorrow, the fans would follow her. The sponsors would follow her. The energy would follow her. The high salaries and the charter jets would follow her. And the league would be forced to confront the uncomfortable truth it keeps trying to avoid:

Caitlin Clark did not need the WNBA nearly as much as the WNBA needed Caitlin Clark.

At some point, her family, her agent, and her team need to ask a hard question:

How much longer do you let a league profit from her while allowing the culture around her to beat the spirit out of her?

Because from the outside looking in, this does not look like normal adversity anymore. It looks like abuse.

It looks like a league trying to break the very player who made millions of people care.

what in god's name happened to pokemon..

[Lost Internet @LostMemeArchive]

In 2005, World of Warcraft accidentally created a virtual plague.

A disease from one raid escaped into major cities, killed low-level players, and spread through pets and fast travel.

Epidemiologists later studied it like a real outbreak.

la plus grande infamie du jeu vidéo récent c'est le fait que le système de Némésis des jeux Terre du Milieu:
"Shadow Of Mordor" et "Shadow Of War" soit bloqué par un brevet du studio de jeu Warner Bros QUI A FERMÉ ??!

Le brevet expire en 2036 et jusque là on aura pas cette folie
