it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

See now we're fucking talking One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes: *No AI or No Convention* Conventions are made by and for the community

Shigeru Miyamoto has claimed that Toad is his least favorite character in Mario Kart. Despite this, in all footage of him playing Mario Kart 8, he picked Toad every time. Whether he was joking or specifically picking a character he hates to challenge himself is unknown.

If you like how the polls are, you go out and vote to ensure it goes the way you would like it to because polls are never the final answer If the polls are shifted against how you want? You go out and vote because polls are never the final answer

“The system is broken, so I refuse to participate.” Unfortunately, this is how our broken system works, so doing nothing with your vote is like saying you’re OK with things staying the way they are now. If you’re registered, there’s no reason you shouldn’t vote.

“But I don’t like either of the candidates.” Then you gotta go with the “lesser of two evils,” because progress isn’t a straight line and it definitely doesn’t happen overnight.

I don’t care what the polls are saying one way or another, just VOTE, OK? “But it’s a shoe-in. There’s no way ____ loses.” Not until those ballots are counted! Vote anyway.

Imagine in any sane world where the leader of a nation says it's okay if 2 of it's major cities gets destroyed and millions of lives lost, but it's fine, because it's a "small price to pay."

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

I know this isn’t useful but it’s weird how “the president should be coherent” was a Very Important Thing just a few years ago and then suddenly wasn’t.

Super Mario Sunshine is surprisingly more realistic than later Mario games in one specific aspect: here, Mario will start drowning if he hangs on to a ledge in such a way that water is flowing into his nose and mouth, as one would in real life.
