Being "intellectually gifted" kinda really sucks emotionally. Like you succeed easily in school and academia but when you *do* struggle you end up not knowing how to cope and everyone around you offers no support, just disappointment. Because "you're so smart! You can do this if you *just* work harder!". That kind of stuff ruins your self esteem. It doesn't matter how strong you are, without the right tools you won't fix a broken car. It's much the same with intellectual tasks.
And on top of that even when you do succeed you end up feeling like you don't deserve it, like you didn't work hard enough for it. Because others put in more effort than you and still failed. It's really fucked up and I should probably be going to therapy lol

Official statement from Volition on the studio closure.

I think it's quite something to put this out precisely at Starfield review embargo - almost as if they know the world's gaming press will be busy.

Volition staff on Twitter are reporting that parent company Embracer has just closed the 30-year-old studio behind Saint's Row and Red Faction, with mass layoffs #VolitionJobs

This just blew my mind: A road in Pompeii, built prior to AD79. The small white stones were designed to reflect moonlight making the road easier to see at night

I hate all the "for the kids" legislation that's really just "hoover up all that data".

Only parents can protect their kids online. Parental controls for devices should be easy to use and really, that's it.

Stop trying to kneecap the entire web so one lazy fuck can avoid their kid seeing a female-presenting nipple or whatever. You being a lazy fuck is hurting them, not the nipple.

not a lot of people know this, but a shirt only becomes dirty when you lose consciousness. thats why u dont gotta change ur shirt after u pull an all-nighter

We fought this, and we won!!

This is the result of a lot of work from privacy and security advocates, researchers, sex worker groups, and members of the lgbtq+ community who worked really, really hard to show the fundamental flaws in age verification.

Well done friends!
