This is 1000% the average voter's take The GOP doesn't seem to grasp that they ruined life for everyone and then have screamed nonstop about how the people who want to lower your costs are socialists, scary minorities, etc. What do you think that's gonna do when "Having money" codes socialist lol

Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

It all really does show how much Calia sticks out like a sore thumb in her current state lol, and how much better she could have been written if she was a regular Light-wielding undead. Garek, Alonsus, and now Danitha and Cormack reflect the Forsaken struggle *so* much better.

It's crazy how much better WC3 and Forever have been handling the relationship between the Forsaken and the Light. Both stories do such a good job showing the power of faith *despite* the horror of their condition, and I really hope that translates to Retail in patch 12.2.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

holy shit

ELIZABETH: I’m not really familiar with the Sugondese people either. NATHAN: Okay. BILLY: I hear you Nathan, and your line of questioning is valid. But I think what she’s too nice to say is that if the Sugondese won’t assimilate with our culture, they shouldn’t be allowed in our country.

Anyway, I was gone at this point but from the outside it always felt like The Powers That Be wouldn't let the last Mass Effect games and final Dragon Age to really focus on what made those IPs great: namely good story and highly f*ckable companion characters.

Going to give my own takeaway on the demise of Bioware, which still makes me very sad. The TLDR: Bioware was not killed suddenly by a private equity acquisition. It was slowly strangled by idiots who didn't understand what made Bioware great - some at EA but also some inside of Bioware leadership

IGN@ign.com

IGN can exclusively reveal that the Mass Effect television series remains in development at Amazon MGM Studios despite news of BioWare's closure and the cancellation of Mass Effect 5. For more info: https://bit.ly/4iz8vAx

Some of BioWare's best work comes from people who wrote codex entries and npc barks. There's a goddamn reason my friends and I parrot the chant of light and other thedosian works back and forth to each other. Masterful shit.

Dragon Age: Inquisition and Mass Effect 3 genuinely saved my life. The friendships I forged in those fandoms persist to this very day, beyond the lustre of both those games. I owe a big part of the woman you see now, to BioWare.

The OG Mass Effect trilogy is and will almost certainly remain my favorite game series of ever. Possibly my favorite sci fi setting ever. I have its art on my skin. This is not to even mention KotoR, Jade Empire, Dragon Age and Baldur's Gate. This is gonna hurt for a while.

The publisher behind the popular product 'Video games' has cancelled all production of video games. Again. For like the third time this month. It's absolute madness, and all of it because the dumbest motherfuckers who have ever lived are betting society itself on glorified autocorrect.

Repost if $30k would change your life right now

Matt Darling@besttrousers.bsky.social

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Samael76 reposted

it makes my blood boil every time there’s a bullshit tech demo and everyone goes back to “oh that scamp elon has done it again” he’s a vicious monster out to ruin the lives of millions of people who don’t deserve any of it and he should be treated accordingly

not entirely sure if it’s possible for Musk to be more disgusting than he is

Okay this is really just such a mess. Orweyna comes to Arator because... the plot demands he's involved? And we are otherwise just... continuing EXACTLY where TWW left off, right back to Dornogal and the Coreway? Midnight was just entirely filler, except to give us Arator.

I spent almost every elementary school recess reading on a little stone bench, rather than playing four square or any other physical game/sport. On more than one occasion I got a rubber ball chucked at my head.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?
