I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

kotaku.comWhat Does It Even Mean To ‘Save’ Mass Effect? - KotakuThousands of fans are rallying around a campaign to save the series after BioWare's shutdown, but what does that look like?

Idk if this has been done before but I shoved two interests together to practise lighting but really I just had fun with it. #ffxiv

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

I wonder if that guy who made the KG as a Brooklyn Net meme years ago feels like Oppenheimer

What can you even say

Amazon has announced an official title for its Fallout Shelter reality competition show, and a Prime Video release date. https://bit.ly/4idbvBr

I do think very often about the demise of ACORN and Jesse Jackson's 1984 "rocks just laying around speech" and how this shit is the anthesis of that entire spirit.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

In the 2010s there was a rpg series that had Carrie-Anne Moss and Martin Sheen and Keith David and an immersive sim that had John Slattery and Carrie Fisher and Michael Madsen playing characters and those studios are just gone.

well, on the one hand AI has made things significantly worse for everyone in almost every capacity that it has touched. But on the other hand, the dumbest guy you know can send emails nobody reads really fast now. So it's impossible to say whether it's good or not

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Sneaky good OST pull here.

Ben Johnson originally called for a punt before the 58-yard field goal. The injury timeout gave them time to talk about it. Johnson asked if Cairo wanted it on the headset and Cairo said he could hear the conversation. Cairo said: “I want it.”

I think JSOC Andor would probably have been a cool videogame but those don't exist anymore.

One day after EA shut down BioWare, a trailer has begun circulating for what some claim was supposed to be Mass Effect 5, a game called Mass Effect: Universe starring Liara T'Soni and a new protagonist. https://kotaku.com/mass-effect-5-universe-leaked-trailer-liara-bioware-2000748858

I just feel like Clive Owen looking up at the tv every day now.

wrote about "Black October," the PHP vulnerability, and the AI-fueled dread and panic I'm seeing among almost all of the cybersecurity experts I've ever known. I think people w/ LLMs are brute forcing software the same way they brute forced social media w/ slop www.404media.co/php2shell-bl...

There's a scene in the Slow Horses S6 finale where Roddy is playing Metroid Prime on a PC with a light gun and I straight up burst out laughing.

BioWare closing rings the same hollow bell in my soul as WB and Paramount becoming “Skydance.” Across movies, TV, publishing, games, we’re watching decades of legacy and history being hijacked and fed to the furnace of an abyssal engine with no desire beyond the abstract concept of “More.”

I'm kind of at a loss for words right now so I am simply thinking about how good Mass Effect 3 multiplayer was.

I'm confident if you gave me a modified Cerberus Mattock and some homing grenades I could hold the line right now.

EA owned, in the mid-90s and the late 00s-early 2010s, the flagship blockbuster rpg developers of their time. origin and bioware were at their peak both squaresoft level cultural behemoths and EA pissed both away to nothing. what a waste.

Almost all of the internecine Chicago arguments are dumb but the latest one driven exclusively by fucking Barstool guys right now makes me want to scream for simply having awareness of it.

The popular monsters of the era reflect the cultural zeitgeist. In the 2000s, it was zombies. In the 2010s, it was vampires. And now, it's women!

With the election looming, the GOP is calling in the big guns. Which means having a megachurch freak named Timmy dispatch an army of walleyed 23yo home-school casualties with YouTube diction to opposing candidates' rallies, where they will demand those candidates reject and denounce the WNBA.
