Ash vs the Evil Dead

the story of how sports betting became legal is odd. instead of directly banning sports betting, Congress passed a law requiring states to ban sports betting, which the Supreme Court held (doctrinally correctly) is unconstitutional. but Congress clearly had the power to directly ban sports betting

the biggest presidential scandal in history but the political media largely acts as if it's not happening. hasan piker has received more mainstream political media coverage over the last 6 months than trump's connections with epstein has

I really do think you should vote. Your actual vote is secret, but the fact that you voted is not. Being a regular voter means campaigns will try to win you over. The more trans people are regular voters the more likely it is that candidates will worry about needing to win our votes.

yeah again part of my frustration with yglesias' comment is that, having read somewhat history now, it is impossible to escape the transnational dimensions of politics and political change. it's just a constant across history. telling people not to care is just denialism!

I'm just kind of curious what the people in charge of video games thinks comes next if they fire literally everyone who makes video games.

The most immediate "Hey, if you liked BioWare games, then you'll dig this..." is the RPG project I've been on since this summer, Hunter: The Reckoning -- Deathwish. Its biggest influence is obviously Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, but BioWare hallmarks are there too. teyon.com/games/hunter...

Hi again to the new followers, particularly the ones finding me after having been touched by BioWare games. I was there from 2005-2013, and I am the less-famous other half of Jennifer Brandes Hepler. I worked on ME, she worked on DA, we both helped out SW:TOR. So... what've I done since? (Thread)

I'm seeing people surprised by the human-krogan-batarian alliance but I actually always expected ME3 to involve rallying the non-Council species after the Reapers did a decapitation strike by taking out the major powers. Pretty cool to know someone else was thinking like that

I also think it is important here to distinguish between a sports-esque 'rooting interest' and a recognition that populist authoritarian leaders and movements tend to understand themselves as allies of each other. Orban and Putin spent a lot of money promoting authoritarianism abroad.

As someone whose first shipped game as a writer was Mass Effect and is now using Yarn Spinner, knowing that the team was inspired by a game I was a tinny part of is pretty cool. Here's to more stories, wherever they come from.

Eric Bauza’s final film performance, as of right now, is Coyote VS ACME. Roadrunner’s testimony is one of his final character performances in the film. He says “Beep” around 46 times, that’s all he says. Yet it says everything about his strengths and passion as a voice actor, with just one word.

Please boost if Vampire Therapist gave you some feels! I'm casting some really incredible actors for our next release and I'd like to pay them. 🙏 They're *really* good, I promise.

Was reminded of this amazing memory; We were all walking back from a group photo in front of the 'Looney Tunes Cartoons' billboard on the WB lot, saw a tour tram and I told the guys "You HAVE to do this, you're all here, when are you ever gonna get a chance like this?" and it made that tour's day!

Not only am I pumped for a small roguelite experience, but this the project @hazelmonforton.com did narrative work for and I am so fucking pumped!

Funeral for the Sun: I've been watching this one since preproduction and it's really a monumental achievement of storytelling, puzzle design, and history. And now it's in Next Fest! store.steampowered.com/app/4088360/...

Note the key phrase "so many people." Yglesias thinks it's fine—good in fact—that American billionaires are very interested in foreign elections and routinely influence them to promote corruption and fascism. His concern is that filthy plebs like you and me might want better things for everyone.

You know, I keep saying "I think Silicon Valley people think AI is good at everything because it's good at code and they think code is the most intellectually challenging task in existence", and then they just go ahead and skeet it out

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

The last apparition is the Starkid, but he's not Starkid yet he's just some kid who died in the opening, meant to be a haunting representation of the people you couldn't save and I distinctly remember getting there and just thinking, I would kill this kid myself a hundred times to bring Mordin back

Niu Lai fandom rise up

All the Bioware reminiscing unlocked this memory I'd forgotten. You know those dream sequences in ME3 where you're in a forest and voice lines from earlier adventures play? The lines are randomized, but by pure rng the very first one for me was "someone else would've gotten it wrong"

start paying artists you fucks!!!! the potential of you reaching nirvana depends on it!

I keep saying this: Stephen Miller is trying hard to preemptively scapegoat someone ELSE in case the GOP loses Texas. But they're naming him by name. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I wish all of you could have known what it's like to write a script for Eric and listen to him knock it out of the park. I'm gutted about this.

sad news to start the week: layoffs have hit sucker punch

sure, Brazilian folks recommend not engaging or screencapping bad-faith right wing actor on social media, and to ignore them. But for hundreds of liberal and left posters, Media Matters, and discourse sickos, that’s unfair to ask of them, they need those screencaps to build their outraged followers.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Once more, we're on. Out January, THE POWER FANTASY #18. "Where we consider the big issues, like if you could travel back in time to kill baby Hitler, would you? How about if Hitler was actually a lovely-if-self-obsessed artist who killed the world by accident? Also, Jacky Magus panics."

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

My immediate concern here is that the Trump administration will back this likely effort to attempt a coup, rhetorically if not materially. It would hardly be the first shameful thing the United States has down to our neighbors to the south, but it would be a very shameful thing indeed.

Gonna guess this is happening with Rubio's sign-offs & we'll see something official soon

Meanwhile, one of the most harmful policy movements in America right now is a property tax revolt that is shifting us away from our most economically efficient tax, all so property owners can have a little more in their pockets next month.

First 100 days of the next Dem president also need to involve banning online gambling in all it forms.

Jennifer Hale OWNED, and they gave her the space to do that.
