Trans candidates ask important questions. How has my being trans affected your life? Has it made groceries, gas, medical care and rent more expensive? Has it turned friendly nations against us? Have we led you into foolish wars? Do we cause gun violence? We're not the problem. Republicans are.

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?

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.

Steak done via this method because while I love the slower methods, sometimes I simply cannot be bothered when I want it faster but still cooked properly.

A neighbor nearby is practicing their saxophone and it sounds glorious carried across the early evening fall air.

I feel a small "gamer grump" coming on from the seeming onslaught of "genre overload" game pitches I'm getting. I do not want to tidy up a massive shop, I don't want to run a simulated shop nor do I want to check credentials at an entry gate. Shit talk incrementals all you like, but that's my jam.

One of my favorite aspects of the #TwilightZone time-travel episodes like "Back There" and "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville" is the reinforcement of, "No, you can't go back in time and change what you wanted to change, however… other things may change anyway." Butterfly effect but not for thee.

Also, Julie Newmar is the best OG Twilight Zone Devil. All shade to Burgess Meredith who is great, but she's amazing. However, shout out to the modern episode "Poker Night" which handled it in a really fun way. 💖

This is the truly frustrating thing. A company, organization, website, platform, etc. will frame itself as an "AI alternative from the big evil ones" and then slowly head towards the same destination. I get it, I know that perhaps soon there won't be any place to avoid it, but jeez…

This post is unavailable.

I also don't like the slow creeping shift that people who aren't into AI aren't being "left behind" but that we're just weird stubborn "haters". (Which, yes, obviously.) "You don't want a cutesy little Teletubby like agent having total access to your bank account to order you Taco Bell? Weirdo." 🙄

Not this "FedEx" spam email calling me "Dear," like the AI agent got confused between its own romance and delivery scams. 😂

I believe that if your company undergoes layoffs during a set amount of time after a sale or acquisition, there should be some kind of massive financial penalty or forced restitution. You can afford to buy a company, but you can’t afford the staff? Then you can’t afford to buy the company.

This isn’t insightful but almost every time that I open the Netflix app it’s an accident and nothing there *looks* like a show. All the thumbnails look like ads for a phone game.

Netflix is a really fascinating story of how for years a company listens to the market (create more/better shows;), listens to analysts (create advertising products! create targeting! create live streaming opps!); generates mounds of money for folks and then... www.wsj.com/business/med...

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

It is, sadly, a universal experience of being Black (child or adult) in this country that any bit of excellence over white peers is immediately seen as "suspect" or "unfair" and how quickly they will appeal to an authority figure about it. And also, how it fucking wears you down, every time. 😡
