Attacks on Democrats saying they love trans people have stopped since all those candidates called trans girls boys. You simply can't argue with success.

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.

*BOLSONARO: FEDERAL POLICE REQUESTED I GIVE THEM MY PASSPORT

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

For whatever reason, YouTube has decided to recommend multiple videos titled something like "Game Master Burnout Isn't Real." While I refuse to click them, every single one comes from some dude who looks like they use words like "Alpha" and a has an AI girlfriend who refuses to talk to them

further enshittification of the internet, this somehow went into my spam despite the invite only being good for tonight so i almost completely missed it

ABBOTT: Japanese developers today have unique names, like FromSoftware COSTELLO: From what ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: I thought you said it was from Japan ABBOTT: It is COSTELLO: But what's the name of the developer ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: The Software's From Japan, though ABBOTT: Yes

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

You know thinking about it the whole "EA is focusing on sports and guns" is kind of jocks "colonizing" "nerd spaces" in the manner that "the women" are usually accused of.

i like how Night City's inherently corrupting nature applies to even erstwhile revolutionaries, they become addicted to social media attention and become influencers that kill people

cant believe ethan klein fans are like "this is my personal 9/11". first of all, where's your loyalty, it's your personal oct 7

I just put up a poll on my Patreon about demand for reprinting the out-of-stock OOTS books. If you have a minute, let me know if you'd be interested in any of them (and even answering "no" would be helpful). Thanks. www.patreon.com/oots/posts/p...

Yesterday: Warren Spector justifiably furious about how f'd up the razing of Bioware is Tonight: Warren's in Brooklyn talking with us about his career, and probably also all this f'd up #!(*% extractive consolidation going on? Bring your questions ALSO at twitch.tv/nyugamecenter see you there

Gossip n' Tea the cute Tilly belongs to the cute @meidotwav.bsky.social <3

its very telling that critics in more left leaning spaces are obviously bummed out about corporations destroying the teams that worked on games they were often heavily critical of whereas grifters are reacting to bioware, 343 etc as personal victories in the war against blue hair and pronouns

A bit late to the announcement here, but without BioWare there would have been no SpeakerD. They haven't been the same company I grew up with for some time, but it's sad to see them go. Fuck EA and fuck the triple A game industry man.

feeling the ennui of a general mourning the loss of his greatest opponent watching that leaked mass effect trailer. you were meant to release and be really successful then i would critique the post-9/11 only a black ops strongman unburdened by bureaucracy can make the hard, violent choices ideology

It is the Year Of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty-Six, and I just got a video game magazine delivered to my house: aftermath.site/continue-video...

Mass Effect and Dragon Age developer BioWare has been shut down by Electronic Arts after it came to light that EA hadn’t already done that. paletteswap.site/dif...

As much as it's not really a surprise, especially given the industry right now coupled with the Saudi sale, the news today still made me sad. BioWare joins other great studios of the past, with a legacy that will not soon be forgotten. 😔 www.forbes.com/sites/paulta...

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is very divisive right now, but there's one trick it uses that even its most ardent haters would have to concede is very effective. Fielder displays his shots in rapid succession, 30+ per second, which makes it seem like Elizabeth Holmes and him are really moving on the screen
