The supremely ugly situation of politics these days has put me off most forms of political pop culture. I don’t want to watch movies about fictional presidents, I don’t want to watch TV shows about the government, and I sure as heck don’t want to play games about political wheeling and dealing. At least until…
Man I just love a game where I move all my little stuff around on my little shelves.

Discord’s age verification rollout has been met with… shall we say, dismay by many users of the platform, with many hunting for a better, more privacy-focused alternative. The news was even less well-received when Discord informed some UK users that they may be part of an “experiment” with an age verification provider called Persona, the…
