You want to know the irony about JK Rowling's disgusting levels of transphobia? Growing up with the HP movies, I was inspired by the scene talking about "mudbloods" and Hermione. Even though she started as a normal human from a family of normal humans, she's a wizard. (Part 2 in thread)

But because of where she started from, there were people who rejected her and called her slurs. "You're not a real wizard! You're a filthy MUDBLOOD!" But despite how some saw her, that didn't stop her from being one of the best wizards in the school, if not the best. (Part 3 in thread)

You know, a lot of people say that the new #Hexed movie is like #TheOwlHouse, but with the Disney brand. And I agree. But something about this compared to TOH (my favorite show) that really pisses me off is how the main character handles magic. (1/4)

She carefully examined the symbols for the ingredients of magic. Then she experimented and practiced combinations and other details that would allow her to cast all sorts of spells. She became incredibly skilled and surprisingly creative, by working harder than nearly any other witch. (3/4)

Something about games from the early 2010s that showed we kinda peaked on game detail. Fidelity on resolution and model quality definitely had room to get better over the years, but in terms of what we needed for bringing us into these worlds, this generation is special to me. (Part 2 in thread)

Ubisoft really doesn't get it. "Games can't be supported forever." Yeah, that's why the campaign isn't asking for that. www.eurogamer.net/ubisofts-own...

I also find it ironic how Ubisoft says how impractical it is to make online-only games have offline patches, yet they announced offline modes for The Crew 2 and Motorfest (assuming they aren't stretching the truth and it's actually more like Riders Republic's Zen Mode).

I just backed Skyless Blind - a stylized cosmic horror exploration game on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/sky...

Oh, wow. Not only does the game made to promote the hardware of Switch 2 paid only, not only is it 10 bucks, but it says this on the store page.

And my concerns were correct. When asking them about this in support, they said roughly the same stuff they said when players were concerned about what will happen when The Crew 1's servers shut down. In that there's no clear plans or knowledge about the game's future. (second half in thread)

They're basically admitting and proving how it's possible for online-only games to get offline modes patched in. They just CHOOSE not to do it for certain games, regardless of how big their audience is. (Rest in thread) #StopKillingGames

Because of the threshold requirement, even though there's over 438,000 signatures so far, they're really only gonna count 233,413. But that doesn't matter when they're asking for 1 million.

But they're often too big, too over-priced, repeat the formula too much, and are run by a massively corrupt company. And despite all this, and all the online protesting, they aren't really struggling that much. Ubisoft is too big to hurt financially.
