Bioware was and always will be one a core memory of the people who inspired me to think games was something I could do (and I actually did!). Its legacy lives within us all.
On Bioware's closure, and how its legacy lives on in games they inspired. feat. @adashtra.bsky.social @alyssamerc.bsky.social @osamadorias.bsky.social @heartimecia.bsky.social ( & thanks to @silvarils.bsky.social) www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

I just met a 6’ queer woman who’s writing who lives in the mountains. The con only gets better
At world fantasy con for writers and there’s already: - tentacles - free coffee - a bag of six books included in my ticket - and people swapping historical facts about time travel into the 1930s ✨✨✨✨✨✨ mah peeple

California, I want you to know the rapid response hotline number to report ICE enforcement citings. It's 888-624-4752. Here's a website where you can find links to the various rapid response groups and volunteer. What's happening is Nazi-ish. Don't be silent! Take action! www.ccijustice.org/carrn

Usually the writer of Don't Create the Torment Nexus and the creator of the Torment Nexus are different people.
This is entirely the plot of Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady’s Illsutrated Primer and while I am not surprised this may be in fact the first we’ve seen of a science fiction writer bringing about the futures they’ve told rather than eschewing them?

Neal Stephenson: In my book I invented the Diamond Age as a cautionary tale. Also Neal Stephenson: At long last, we have created the Diamond Age from my classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Diamond Age.

Got a press release for Neal Stephenson's new company (AI UGC stuff of course) and its premiere project is...Pride & Prejudice in Fortnite through UEFN.

As promised, while we finish up injecting @espressocat.bsky.social with nanomachines, I present to a patreon'd episode, which you will have to pay (not much) for. Or, you can just message me with a sob story, and I'll unlock it for you. www.patreon.com/furidashi/po...

Mamdani is 100% right here, despite some people reading into this things that are not said here. Antisemitism is a scourge upon the world. Doesn't need any qualification or quantification or caveats or what-abouts. Any antisemitism is too much antisemitism.
The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.
Yes I was lost in the wilderness and then stranded in sickness but now I am back at mother base.
Happy to report that we have Fulton recovered @espressocat.bsky.social, but she is still being debriefed by our agents. In the meanwhile, join me on journey into revolutions and deterrence in 2010's Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker! open.spotify.com/episode/235O...

Note. I haven’t finished the story yet but am eagerly plugging ahead rebuilding all the roads I can. And people are using them! 🥹 Who needs transponders when you have an insane desire to pave along in your Tonka truck?
Ladies, Gentlemen, and NB Friends! May I introduce to you a podded cast of Metal Gear Solid 7 - Death Stranding 2: On the Beach! In which, gameplay is 😀 and story is 🫠! ...with yours truly and the great, the only @espressocat.bsky.social ! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...
OFFICE HOURS WITH NICOLAS ARE THE BEST! Come!! Engage!! Inspire!!!
And if that's not enough for you, I will be holding office hours over on Youtube, Fridays 6-8 CDT/CST, if you need help with your Metal Gear homework! I'll be there if a hundred people show up or none at all! Just like my office hours when I was teaching! www.youtube.com/channel/UCIm...
articles you discover researching fiction: www.kqed.org/news/1077916...
But did this teach me how to play the game …… yes. Yes it did. ( ´Д`)y━・~~
Playing death stranding 2 spoilers (mechanics only): - man I’m a big fan of the dialogue choices. COOL! - wow I am not a fan of the hard cutscene reset let me skip it - WOW certainly not a fan of not being able to go back to the original options - WELL CERTAINLY DID NOT EXPECT TO REDO THE TUT
Death Stranding was my absolutely favorite metal gear. I wish we had longer to talk about it!
It's that time of the month, when @espressocat.bsky.social and I commune with the Kojima only to discover that he can't stop making Metal Gear games, even when he thinks he has! Death Stranding represents not much a departure as a new inflection point. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...
