New substack. This one is about Jacob Geller, last week's allegations, and how I can't see his work the same anymore.

1% of the money people were defrauded of?

Unusual Whales@unusualwhales.bsky.social

BREAKING: Trump has revealed his new anti-fraud program set up to reward people who expose fraud with a 1% commission on the money uncovered. "If you turn somebody in and you, let's say report and you find $1 billion, we are giving a commission to that person of 1%."

Ngl, Nikki as a Halloween costume doesn't sit well with me lmao

Bloody Disgusting@bloody-disgusting.com

According to Google, 2 of the Top 10 Trending Halloween Costumes this year are Nikki from OBSESSION and the killer unicorn from BUDDY. Buddy is the #1 top trending search for Halloween costumes, while Nikki is #3. Nikki & Bear from Obsession is a top trending couples costume.

DD2 Dark Arisen is bringing me back to my first time playing DD1, especially in hard mode. I got taught real quick how dire and powerful enemies are in this region, so I have to be more thoughful about how I fight. And if there's a ledge, you know damn well I'm using it.

I captured footage for one of Jacob Geller's videos. And while I played one very minor part in his body of work, I'm devastated and horrified to learn that a person I looked up to and respected is capable of hurting and betraying the trust of another, not to mention sexually assault someone.

ok, i hate posting this someone made a naked deep fake of me and has started posting it places its based on this photograph of me from years ago just want to get out ahead of this, kinda hate that i have to.

So many jobs lost. Histories spat on, stepped on, and thrown aside. A through and through dismissal of art. Capital reigns supreme; anything that gets in the way of profit is a number, easily scrubbed off to shift the scales and benefit the ones on top.

This might be a good moment to also announce that PMG has been following the Blizzard unions through this process for nearly two years now and in early 2027 you’ll be able to watch our documentary on the fight that took place to get this historic contract over the line.

I appreciate Dawnwalker's devs' approach to combat. In optimal conditions I can enter a kind of zen state where I feel like I'm actively swinging the sword and blocking/deflecting attacks from enemies surrounding me.

I really hope they send out an update addressing these issues while I play; in a way it's got the pontential to stand out from other open world action rpgs for the combat alone, but the fidgety nature of it is too much for gamers who don't have the patience to push through the jank.

It's held back most of the time by the camera, however, and a soft lock-on system that I completely understand why it exists but wish it was more intuitive.

The album released today on Bandcamp, and it's the only place where you can purchase and listen to it. Guabágeuse is a collective, a synthesis of music and art created by friends and peers in my friend's circle—an effort to present the multifaceted cultural expression of the Puerto Rican experience.

Psychonauts and Costume Quest maker Double Fine has launched its new game development Kickstarter project after cutting ties with Xbox, and says it'll make Brütal Legend 2 if it raises an impossible-sounding $100 million. https://bit.ly/4gK2wXK

‘COYOTE VS. ACME’ director Dave Green has released a thank you letter on the film's opening day. “This is a celebration, it's proof that movies don't just go away. We make work so it can be seen and shared - that's the whole reason we do what we do.”

CNN's Tom Foreman follows US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s reality cooking show "Real Food" recipes to see if he can whip up the same dish for the claimed price point.

I PLEAD content creators who fight misinformation for a living to stop using Gemini's AI summaries as their "counter points". It looks bad. It's lazy. And can lead to misinformation. Check your sources.

Lots of excitement about the squeaky beach sounds in Big Walk! You'll all be happy to know it's the real thing! Was absolutely giddy to get to record them on an actual Australian squeaky beach in Wilson's Promontory. Yes, if you didn't know some beaches there really do squeak. It is pure joy.
