The novel is just a very well-suited artform for cramming a lot of Ideas in in a way that movies, games, and even TV struggle with

I don't blame Jenny Nicholson for getting that bag, and let's be honest, who wouldn't turn down a voice role on The Simpsons even in its twilight years, but even so the whole thing just seems so bizarre and "fellow kids" adjacent. Imagine having Hbomberguy show up on American Dad.

I'm begging my American friends to resist your urge to "get the last word" and chase rage bait for clout and just STOP reposting alt-right bullshit

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

gamers are so stupid but honestly the industry and community have cultivated this idiocy for ages so it's not really surprising so many of them can paradoxically see a franchise as more worthy of rescue than the people who made it.

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

This is why I'm not actually on board with the whole Save Mass Effect thing. I deeply love ME but saying "please Saudi backed EA, now that you've destroyed the studio that made these games, farm out the IP to some one else to limp on in some barely recognizable zombie version" ain't it. Let it die

Hayes Madsen@solfleet.bsky.social

Does it need to be said that Mass Effect shouldn’t exist without the developers and team that was working on this game? Either they come back and make the game they were, or Mass Effect dies. kotaku.com/mass-effect-...

Some real maddening comments on reddit from folks saying that they don't care who finishes the Mass Effect game because 'Bioware died ages ago anyway.' Just absolute principle free worms who only care about their hypothetical treats.

People easily forget that Bioware as a company only really started to really acknowledge and engage with its gay audience from about 2012 (Dragon Age 2) onwards. Even then they had a lot of missteps.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

A weird change that has taken place in my lifetime is that in the past, British racists were aware of what mixed-race people were and were furious about it, as opposed to the New Racism, which frequently seems actively confused by the birds and the bees.

I remember many yrs ago one of my regular customers asked another of my regular customers "I seen you in Shields th other day with a couple of [racial slur] teenagers, what was that about that?" And the other guy replied "Do you mean my fucking grandchildren?" Never seen a man visibly shrink so fast

There's a Twitter account that is going viral every goddamn week and its all made up bullshit Please take 45 seconds and look for the source of whatever you're reposting. If it's Chaos Crave or any ___ Crave account, its horseshit.

The entire campaign is dependant on you keeping your units alive to level them up, but you don't unlock the ability to buy the more advanced units until near the end of the game. So by the time you can actually buy a level 1 Wraithguard or Warp Spiders they are completely outclassed by the enemy.

Sometimes good things do happen.

Knightmare: The Game@knightmarequest.bsky.social

KNIGHTMARE IS BACK! An official point-and click adventure game based on the classic TV series - with actors from the original show. Coming 2027. www.knightmaregame.co.uk And just remember - it's only a game...isn't it? #indiedev #adventuregame

This isn't a Coyote vs Acme situation. By all accounts the game wasnt anywhere near finished and EA are not going to gussy up the funds to finish a game you're all probaby going to turn on anyways.

if we're complaining about Mass Effect: it's fucked up that the guy who's in charge of all the Reapers is named Harbinger and the guy who's supposed to open the way for the other Reapers is named Sovereign

the thing that gets me about this is, like, the most common victim of dark eldar atrocities are...other...dark eldar, lol That's kinda the point. It's like how the Imperium kills and tortures more human beings than aliens.

This is just insanity. One of the best studios to ever do it, with a big-budget immersive sim based on a major Marvel property ALMOST FINISHED, and nobody wants to release it!? The big business side of this industry has gone completely mad.

Between the leaked Mass Effect trailer and the cancellation of the Necromunda RPG this really has been a month for 'let's take a look at what you could have won.'

Ofcom published a report today that pretty much declares the Online Safety Act a complete failure

drives me crazy that growing up i could not turn around without seeing a different right wing complaint about our censorious nanny state, a sentiment they rode all the way to brexit, but it turns out they just meant "health and safety laws" and "human rights agreements." this shit is fine

This November will see the 15th anniversary of when I started publishing The Pride It may not have ended how I hoped (in context of reality and the story) but there is so much I am forever proud of with that series. I hope the characters are still loved out there #ThePrideAnniversary
