I'm angry with this country, and I won't be hiding this fact. I'll also continue to post silly jokes and pirate games and spooky stories and comic books chats. But also loudly love my lgbt+, non-white, and disabled family and friends. If you have a problem with any of this, fix your heart or die.

Thoughts on Sea of Thieves new outfit saves... It's so much quicker to change outfits now. It is slightly annoying, though not surprising, that Equipment and Weapons were left out. Finger's crossed they can eventually make a similar system for them.

Very minor nit pick, but it would be nice if we could choose the background color for each outfit instead of it being random. Likewise, it'd be cool if we could change the order of the outfits in the menu.

It’s been a day and this account hasn’t acknowledged this was AI, so I’m blocking them. It’s disappointing, because they seem otherwise an alright account, but I don’t want AI and misinformation on my feed.

I know the urge to dunk on bigots is strong, but can we take a moment to use our critical thinking before sharing AI generated videos? Even if the words on the guys hat didn't morph through the video, why would a MAGA bro wear a hat labeling himself a moron?

Ok, I love that they are actually incentivizing people to post actual good maps to the quest board.

Tricksters and Treaters Community Goals will be live this Community Weekend, from October 23rd-26th (10am UTC), with corresponding Hats to unlock! Once a goal is met, all contributing pirates, or those who go on to share the necessary type of map, will receive the associated Hat.

Tech companies and the media covering them want to convince us their products are people so that they can further undervalue human rights. No, ai agents are not "conscious". No, you can not "kidnap" or "torture" a flock camera.

So, Activision is going to be in charge of Rare and Sea of Thieves. Not sure what that means for the game or the company. Both could probably use a shake-up, but I'm just not sure if the Call of Duty people are the best shepherds for that change.

The Verge@theverge.com

The latest changes will see Activision take on the Halo and Sea of Thieves franchises, as well as Age of Empires. Microsoft is also laying off around 268 Xbox employees as part of this restructuring, and likely closing Ninja Theory. Read more from @tomwarren.co.uk:

A company that sells movie tickets asked the makers of a movie being re-released if people should watch it to understand said movie's upcoming sequel. Their answer will shock you.

folks, they won't even let you in the theatre unless you can pass the exam

Corproation marketing upcoming movie in long running franchise suggests watching previous entries in said franchise, and the internet is mad.

IGN@ign.com

Ready for your Avengers Doomsday homework? Marvel has released a watchlist of 15 movies and TV shows you should watch before December 18 rolls around. https://bit.ly/3UmhwmS

Not saying you have to like Disney or Marvel, but Disney+ putting out a "road to Doomsday" playlist doesn't seem newsworthy, nor an admission or insistence from Disney that they are required viewing. Watch what you want, skip what you don't. None of this matters.

While it's a little disappointing we aren't getting any major new features anytime soon, I'd much rather those additions have time to cook, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

Details on future content delivery and what Seasons mean going forward, the results of our Raid Voyage experiment, Season 21's own diving-related trial and more! Lots in today's Dev Update, so make sure you're sitting comfortably and Production Director Drew will begin: https://youtu.be/JACbgAmTIfc

I'm also happy they are willing to experiment with turning the dives off. I've said it before, but being able to so easily change servers fundamentally changed the game for the worse, making encounters with other crews both more rare and simultaneously more aggressive.

Finally I'll be able to change to outfits without taking 10-15 minutes every session! Hopefully this will include equipment and weapons as well, but even if not, it will be a major improvement.

Sea of Thieves@seaofthieves.com

Do you like our outfits?

Granted, I don;t mind they are still around, but it'd be nice to have an accurate way of knowing what items are about to be removed to make more informed decision on what to buy and when.

Recently worked on a Hunter Call Ledger in Sea of Thieves, and had the most efficient Redmaw fight I've ever experienced. Never got bit! Never exploded! My galleon crew did great landing cannon shots and utilizing spears to interrupt every charge. Rocked our boat at one point, but no damage.

I'm not going to stop casually using a common phrase just because a shitty robot trained on data with that phrase uses it often. The goal is to get rid of the shitty robots, not morph our language around their shittyness.

Unfortunately, yes it is.

Welp. Thanks to terrible local laws and spineless companies, I now have to use a third party app and/or ad blocker to access this site. Because I refuse to give some contracted company my credit card, ID, or social.

This is such a fantastic pic that I had to look up the source. Taken by Alexander Kandybo at the 2017 Rock Za Bobrov music festival near Minsk. According to a Reddit thread, the crowd surfer, Paval Konovalchik, was quoted in an interview about the event saying "I could have flown."

This is baffling given the current state of the game. Crossing my fingers this means they aren't targeting Rare with the rumored layoffs, but I don't trust Microsoft enough to rule it out.

We've got details of the next Sea of Thieves Community Weekend, a commemorative X25 Emote to mark @XBOX's 25th anniversary, some Silver Coin clothing and more, all delivered in the latest episode of Sea of Thieves News that you should find waiting just below these words: https://youtu.be/M5PW20Sgtqk

Very usual for them to emphasize the recording date of a video. I’m hoping this means they do plan to directly address the community scandal eventually. It’s my understanding that local law prevents them from discussing or making employment decisions until after a criminal investigation.

A little later than planned following its recording in early May and the postponed Act 3, our latest Developer Update is now live. This video covers game health improvements, tweaks to the Bilge Rats Weekender and some discussion of Doubloons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsbgeJ4DCKk

However, never addressing it, and/or keeping the community managers as is would be a terrible decision, both morally and financially. I want to believe they are better than that, but need to see action.
