Every clip I see about Bauza is so heartbreaking, he seems like such an amazing dude. Also, we gotta bring back using voice actors for animated shows and not just celebrities looking for an easy buck.

Canada should garnish the Bioware IP and nationalize them so anybody can make a game using them, with profits going to a fund that supports the arts Call it a national cultural treasure and give it the same status as protected land or species

Does it need to be said that Mass Effect shouldn’t exist without the developers and team that was working on this game? Either they come back and make the game they were, or Mass Effect dies. kotaku.com/mass-effect-...

Hey remember a couple months ago when I almost died from sleep apnea and begged y'all to be checked if you have symptoms of sleep apnea? Eric Bauza just died from sleep apnea. We were the same age. Don't ignore sleep apnea.

Do you get a full night's sleep but wake up feeling like death? Does your whole body feel off in ways you can't explain? Research signs of Sleep Apnea. Get a sleep test. You can't diagnose it yourself, cuz you sleepin'.

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

like this? this is the whole logic of deplatforming, en toto. if you were wondering why center-right liberals and blackshirts were horrified by deplatforming as a strategy and quailed about 'cancel culture', this is why: because it works.

Bruno Dies@brunodias.dev

What's striking to me are the rules of engagement and the methodology of action here, which more or less is predicated on burying liberal delusions about "debate" or the "marketplace of ideas". The rules were ultimately very simple: amplify your own message and suppress your opponent's.

This is probably the best ad I've seen against using generative AI: Mayer, who was an engineer at Google and a chief executive of Yahoo, has rotted her brain so much she can no longer classify her daughter as "empathetic, creative and an animal lover". The slide of competence is incredible.

Had a dream that GRMLN/Lyn had a secret sister (that's not Gigi), one that some professor was creating to patent a perfect war machine using Lyn's specifications left behind after her creator vanished and Lyn went into hiding. And before you say "it's Shadow the Hedgehog" it's - well yeah it is.🎨

and the white armour description reminds me of one of my favourite types of mechanical design, an artisanal humanoid in white and gold I kind of tried to work it into a SoB I made, so it's nice to see this having existing lore similarities(even though it is a bulkier thallax)

Re the savemasseffect petition. I don't want to be a pessimistic dick. But wth is this actually going to accomplish? The money men won't care. BioWare has been shuttered. Everyone who worked on these games is now (long) gone. And even if it worked, do you really want EA to be the ones making it?

I think best case scenario is they sell the IP along with Dragon Age. Who knows where it would end up and with who. But anything is better than EA either making it or locking it away forever.

steam should have tipping. it should have tipping. there should be tipping on steam. on steam, you should be able to tip the developer. the tip money should go straight to the developers who worked on the game and not the publishers or valve. they should make it so that on steam, you can give a tip

Every layoff in a flailing attempt to service un-servicable buyout debt becomes a drain on the economy and governments around the world, all so a few people can hollow out the corpse of the company and wear it like a onesie. That we permit this is not only rot, it's institutional corruption.
