One hell of an exhaustive infographic about the video game industry.

Console gaming is contracting
PC gaming stayed put, which is surprising because this year was all about indies
Mobile gaming is now 50% of all gaming

But also, physical games are dying and only make a tiny sliver of revenue compared to digital distribution.

But it's quite depressing

A #Ukrainian digging a #trench somewhere on the #frontlines of the #UkraineWar, they find a rusty #Soviet PPSh-41, a submachine #gun, a #WW2 #relic

Probably from another trench, dug in the same spot, by another Ukrainian, 80 years ago

Fighting #historical German ethnofascism. While today his grandson fights contemporary Russian #ethnofascism

So much suffering

All of it pointless stupid folly of malicious vain men

@Flux

do you think?

i originally thought so too, but by its length i thought: "no, can't be, it just has to be a stick or root"

but it does resemble the top of a femur there

and perhaps some of the dirt hides the articulation of the knee, so that rather than a continuous whole, what we see exposed further down is the tibia

yikes

you might be right

All the RW ideologues glomming on to Trump will quietly do a ton of stuff that screws over Trump voters -at agencies, Project 2025... They won’t give them material improvements to their lives. A lot of culture-war campaigning/emotional satisfaction -won't improve their EDU systems/economic opps./local INFRA -going to be incredibly damaging.

Rural ppl benefit from the USPS, if he privatizes it.... School vouchers don’t benefit rural ppl -no private schools there.
