I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

After hearing news of BioWare's closure on Wednesday, over 75,000 Mass Effect fans have signed a petition demanding that EA put another studio in charge of the franchise or license out the IP. https://bit.ly/4siIubW

Online discourse pits us against each other so we don't pay attention to billionaires getting richer while dismantling careers and meddling in media. Every idiot who cheers this on will earn NOTHING but a temporary revenue boost. Your gas is still too expensive. Your hardware is still too pricy.

EA is going private under PIF and Jared Kushner's ownership. Wilson will probably make even more money while thousands of people look for work. This isn't a win for anyone except the fat cats who want us to remain angry at each other online so we don't pay attention to their strip mining.

It is by far pure fascism what happened here. America is no longer in the precipice of becoming nazi run, they are being run by nazis.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

You can kill as many people as you want, but you target a beautiful precious data center? The one that hosted all 40,000 Sexy Ladies For Ken Paxton accounts?

Uh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

Ahh, unlucky mate. Turns out trans healthcare is still the scientifically and morally correct thing to do. I assume you'll be apologising now? Not sure why you thought the last 5 years would be different to the nearly 100 before that but ok

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

GTA 6 has received a rating of PEGI 18, revealing mentions of "decapitation," the ability for players to snort cocaine at any time, "scenes of sexual fetishes," and much more.

Gears games had pride flags in 2019, but the people who monetize rage bait don't want their audience to know that -- maybe they don't even know that themselves, because they don't do research; they just react. If more people recognized they're getting played for revenue, we'd be in a better spot.

Please don't give the DA reopening the Cornell case any cookies. District Attorney Matthew Van Houten all but called Jane Doe a liar today. He said that in Doe's initial statement, she described "her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual.” CONSENSUAL

I have Platinum'd Wolverine. Honestly it's a bit rough around the edges at times, the game nails the brutality of the combat and I got heavily infested in the story. Liam McIntyre brings an emotional edge to weapon X that makes him human and his performance is incredible. Solid 8 out of 10 for me.

So far I am enjoying Wolverine, it is a little less polished than Spidey, but the combat is imo good, I feel like a berserker tearing through enemies. The story is good too. It's a decent action game swinging between a 75 and 80 out of 100.

btw Kanye did a song Heil Hitler and no one stepped in to oppose his tour(s), which is ongoing. In fact, Kanye is scheduled to perform at one of the stadiums Macklemore has been stopped from being at.

That my TL is wall to wall Peter Cullen positivity speaks to the huge impact he had on so many of us across generations That so many of the tributes are of such a personal nature, often involving a kind or caring gesture from Peter, speaks to what a truly generous soul he was

Gail, transphobes care a lot about women's sports. They hate them. They're already using the transphobic rhetoric to imply that any female athlete who does well must be a man in disguise. You can expect them to try to shut women's sports down entirely if they get their way.

This is particularly sick because kites are a symbol to many Palestinians (particularly Gazan children) of joy, freedom, + peaceful resistance. They are the focus of the late Dr. Refaat Alareer’s poem ‘If I Must Die’, asking survivors to sell his belongings to make a kite so a child can feel love.

Every dollar billionaire JK Rowling makes is a dollar she will spend on destroying the lives of trans people - a scapegoating driven by Epstein-class billionaires to distract us from the ultra-rich draining our wealth, killing our planet, sabotaging social cohesion, and destroying dissent.

I wasn’t at all surprised by the behavior of the demented madman Americans insisted on making President, but I was horrified and sickened by the extraordinary and indescribable cowardice displayed by Kristen Holmes’ fellow WH correspondents. Every one of them should be jobless.
