If Americans need our little southern recipe for how to defeat fascism it goes like this: - Put people in the streets by standing for popular demands (wages, healthcare, public services) - Do not engage with fascists online - Do not succumb to doomsayers or media-driven narratives - Be happy

Great. So, now my choices as an Illinoisan transplanted to Iowa are the anti-trans Democrat @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social and the anti-trans, Trumper Ashley Hinson. No wonder people hate this state.

three sources coming to the same conclusion :) :) :)

This is private equity, this is what it does. Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Amazon showing a Christmas commercial and we’re still more than a week out from Halloween? Should be illegal.

Every October for 16 years now, I’ve hosted a 50 hour long marathon of horror movies in my home theater (believe it or not, there’s regularly at least 7 of us who attend the whole thing). This year, my favorite new-to-me movies were Weapons (2025), Frankenstein (2025), and A Dark Song (2017).

Then again, there are plenty of piece of shit parents. Trump should know: he had some, and he is one.

I am so exhausted by our capitalist hellscape.

The video game industry is screwed.

- invest in cloud gaming - make future hardware unaffordable - showcase cloud gaming as a cheaper alternative - make cloud gaming a subscription service where the consumer has to pay not just for the product but the time allowed with the product - profit until the masses wake the fuck up

I was lucky enough to be able to afford and manage to secure an Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2 on their respective launch days, which is something I won’t even try with next gen hardware because of their estimated costs.

Last month we lost our jobs. This month we made new ones. Introducing X BUTTON: an independent gaming network from three ex-IGN employees. A new weekly Nintendo podcast! A new weekly video game podcast! And that’s just the start, but we can’t do it without your help! www.patreon.com/cw/XButtonShow

My family’s boldly going to Halloween!

Wow

A solid—tangible—way to celebrate #IndigenousPeoplesDay is by supporting Native authors/artists. Like say, maybe, picking up this anthology (now in paperback!) that I have a short story in! amzn.to/4AUu3yK

Social media has ruined Biddy Blas for me.

They got me.

I’d go back to this style of 5POA all day long over paying $80 for three 3.75” figures. I didn’t have a problem with them then, and I definitely don’t now.

Meanwhile over at Skydance HQ

I don’t care that it’s Homecoming week here: if I see stupid teens doing stupid shit, this old man is going to call the cops.

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

I loved Lanterns and am eager to see more of the cast… but the finale more or less played out as I’ve been expecting the last couple of weeks so it didn’t land as hard for me as it seems to have for everybody else.

That Star Wars Hasbro Pulse livestream could have been about an hour and ten minutes shorter.

Rewatched Star Wars: Skeleton Crew over the last couple of days. Man, that’s a damn good show.

I loved their “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” but as a Star Trek fan, every time John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein talk about their new Trek film, I “Nope” out harder and harder. trekmovie.com/2026/09/30/n...

Today is technically the last day I’m pushing for this fundraiser and we’re still a couple hundred away from the $10K mark (not holding my breath on reaching the overall goal). Help me bring the joy of movies to kids in need! gofund.me/904f0391a

Mr. Belding was an icon of my childhood. RIP, Dennis Haskins. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

Today's Star Wars thought: Kinberg's series could focus on Force users who the galaxy is side-eyeing after decades of wars instigated by powerful Force users. The masses may not see a difference between the Light and the Dark. It's all dangerous. Rey's new order will have lots of problems.

Florida figured it out?

Listen up fellow dads, the absolute LEAST thing you can do right now in light of the Cornell stuff is have a frank talk with your sons. Make it clear what’s expected of them and how they can be safe people for women. Dont shy away from the hard topic. It’s essential

Just watched The Mandalorian & Grogu for the first time since seeing it opening day in theaters. I’ve had it digitally and physically since both of those release dates. It’s never taken me this long to watch a Star Wars home video release before. 😳

There we go.

It’s so bizarre to me how much Reddit is shitting on Jon Watts. The Spider-Man Home trilogy and Skeleton Crew weren’t good? Go back under your bridges, trolls.

Obligatory “Who is this @jordanmaison.com guy and why should we trust him?” knightedgemedia.com/2026/09/luca...

You are not defined by your origins.

Every 8-bit and 16-bit JRPG should be remade as HD-2D video games.

Holy shit. New Darkwing Duck series announced with @markhamillofficial.bsky.social as the lead!

Pretty sure Xbox has anti-Xbox bias

Everyone at Xbox - and everyone no longer at Xbox - all deserve better than whatever this is.

Bryce Dallas Howard, Toby Haynes, or Rick Famuyiwa, please. I feel like if true, the trades will figure it out within days, if not hours.

I was planning on waiting until all of Lanterns was out before binging it, but because the internet lost its chill and immediately spoiled episode 4 right after dropped, I ditched that plan and caught up with it.

George should have gone further with changes after the PT. Show Bail on Alderaan seeing the arrival of the Death Star. Throw the Emperor in there just for fun.

Spent all day doing outdoor projects, then ate and drank German food and beer because Oktoberfest started.

Started replaying the NES’ The Legend of Zelda last night because I’ve never beaten it, and I’d love to see Nintendo remake it with modern graphics, quality of life improvements, and rebalanced difficulty. Thing’s damn near impossible to play today without a guide of some sort.

I can’t believe IGN is shooting itself in the face this week.

Welp. Starting in November, I will no longer be employed by IGN. It's been a hell of a ride and I cannot understate how much of an honor and a privilege the last 11+ years have been. This was a dream job, but the best part of IGN is, was, and always will be the people.
