Same, but Dragon Age. Actually the first Twine I ever wrote, first sample I ever came up with, first studio I ever actually submitted to - it was all Dragon Age.

I don't know if I would be a narrative designer today without Mass Effect.

I feel like we don’t talk about millennials in particular, hitting our 40s - in earlier generations many of us would be reaching the peak of our careers, but because of disaster after disaster, locust after locust eating our industries, many of us are on our 3rd or 4th fresh start.

There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

Fuck AI. Just like politics, because of the radicalism and intransigence of the Right, there is no nuance left in discussions around AI because of the steamrolling from tech and corporate 'leaders'. The worst people in the world are trying to force it down our throats -- it's FUCKING BAD. Fuck it.

States aren't just laboratories of democracy. Some like Montana and Hawaii have become the frontlines for saving our democracy from Citizens United and restoring power to the people. Read this piece from James Baratta in The American Prospect.

I love Mike Flanagan and I'll watch anything he puts out but another skinny Carrie is so frustrating and boring. We just really can't be expected to empathize with a chubby girl, huh?

evidently it is "animal cruelty" that is indicated; "bestiality" is a sort of distraction. since MAGAs only are now hired by the FBI, possibly some of these applicants have cruelty to animals records. that is the explanation.

So which one of Kash’s friends trying to join the FBI had a bestiality conviction on his record?

Stop using AI. Stop using WAYMO. Stop supporting TESLA. Stop. Stop. Fucking STOP.

I'm not sad that Gloria Steinem died, exactly - 92 is a good run - but I am immensely sad that she died now, in this timeline, under this regime, facing this onslaught against her life's work in her final years. She was tireless and iconic and her efforts deserved better.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

USPS is reportedly pushing ahead with untested technology to carry out Trump’s attack on mail-in voting. The plan, if it’s allowed to go forward, could completely “derail” the midterms, according to a whistleblower. Trump will stop at nothing to cheat his way to victory.

Imagine if the LAPD didn't keep the city so deep in the red that my trash service cost didn't have to be nearly doubled making life that much less affordable in a direly unaffordable city? Imagine if the cops here did anything for us that was good?

In 2025, a majority of S&P 500 CEOs made more in one day than the median US worker made the entire year. Meanwhile, the median U.S. worker would need to work 43,154 years to earn what Trump made in 2025 thanks to his crypto scams and various grifts. Is it any wonder why so many people are fed up?

Lol my and my row-mate's in flight entertainment are skipping so horribly they're unusable. FAs can't even *try* to fix it unless 6 other people also complain??? Honestly fuck #JetBlue this is such a crap policy.

So...none of the chargers work and a bunch of the seats are covered in bird shit at the #JetBlue terminal at JFK and okay but if you're gonna regularly delay people by 3 hours like...maybe fix that.
