There is simply no more denying it. Sweater Season™ is here.

Ah, Patricia Routledge. She was two things to me -- One: a true icon of British comedy for decades, one of the genuine genuine greats. Two: the namesake of an assault rifle I had in Counter Strike 2 where, it must be said, she had an equally illustrious career. May her memory be a blessing.

Jane Goodall was an absolute fucking icon. May she go well to whatever's next. Her memory is a blessing.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

before you say “well losing EA is no big loss” 1. shut the fuck up 2. people have families to feed 3. games such as hades only exist because the studio cofounders met while they were at EA. studios that make games you don’t like are still enormous institutions of gamedev experience and knowledge

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

David Cross folks.

Today is my last day at Blizzard! Working with the World of Warcraft team has been such a fun, positive experience. I can't wait for players to see what we made together. Now I'm looking for my next role in games, full time or contract, indie or AAA. You can check out my portfolio on my website! 🖤

Anyway I saw One Battle After Another yesterday and apropos of nothing you should go see One Battle After Another, it's sensational and timely.

First Electronic Arts ad, 1983

love to work for a stable company like EA

just found a bullet casing with the entire bee movie script on it

There's one wave fight in Silksong which I think is actually going to drive me to full madness.

I know everything is acutely terrible in US politics but the autism press conference today was the first time it feels like I'm really really close to not being able to comprehend the level of combined cruelty and abject stupidity.

I'm so happy. It's finally time. The most wondrous week of the year. Oh yes, it's Fat Bear Week.

what movie do you consider “perfect”?

Happy Nine Inch Nails Tron Ares soundtrack release day to all who celebrate (me).

Suffice it to say, I am Very Cool.

Gang I just fucking love The Matrix.

I'd like to specifically thank the Respawn gym lighting and my own lack of shame for this.

I was a Firaxis narrative designer/writer and lost my job today. Any help sharing leads on new opportunities would be great! Over 3.5 years, I contributed to Civilization VII and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, helping turn maps, mechanics, and chaos into memorable stories. See my work benreeves.carrd.co

Hi! I was laid off from Firaxis this morning. I wrote leaders and civs for Civilization VII (NDA for now) and Deadpool and Storm for Marvel's Midnight Suns. I also wrote the award-nominated Hindsight. I'm available for full time, remote work starting ASAP. DMs are open: emmkid.info

I got laid off from Firaxis today. I helped ship Marvel's Midnight Suns DLC and Civilization VII, and would love to talk to you about mid level Producer roles.

thank you for coming to my big announcement that was planned for weeks and not thrown together at the last second to get ahead of speculation that my health is in decline. alabama (taking a huge huff of a mysterious gas like dennis hopper in blue velvet) is in charge of space

There's so much to say about this country, and our politicians, and our media, and what it's doing to our society, but suffice it to say: this country, as it is currently, is rancid.

Accidentally searched for 'Lenin' shorts instead of 'Linen'.

Drank too much coffee. Now anxiety. The Circle of Life. It moves us all.

Live your life in such a way so that millions of people don't desperately cling to every crumb of evidence that suggests you might have died.

I keep wanting to say "Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens know better than this" but at this point it's really very clear that they do not.

I refer as I often do to 'The Science of Storytelling' by Will Storr, and specifically how our eyes build an image of the world around us without actually needing to see it all -- our eyes get what information they can, then our brain fills in the blanks. So it is with storytelling. Or should be.

I feel like at this point Silksong could ask for one of your legs as payment and some of y'all would gleefully get the hacksaw.

Despite extensive searching, there was no gif I could find that adequately quantified my all-consuming fury at this headline AND article.

The Trajectory of a Wedding, a story in two pictures.

Masahiro Sakurai is all of us.

i'm so tired. aren't you just so tired?

RIP to a king who devoured, with relish, every piece of furniture in every scene in every movie he ever had. We were blessed to watch him work.

what an image

HEY WRITERS: Tony Gilroy will not be releasing the Andor scripts due to AI scraping concerns (understandable but sad), but the script for season 2 episode 9, "Welcome to the Rebellion," is now available for download on Disney's Emmy consideration site: assets.debut.disney.com/documents/An...

Computer enhance.

I don't have friends who might vote Reform because I am a good judge of character. I'm sorry if that makes me close-minded or in a bubble, but life is far too fucking short to expose myself to social interactions with cheese-brained or hateful rubes.

I know it's been a few weeks, but I am just consistently blown away by how awful, draconian, and chilling the Online Safety Act is. What's more appalling still is how people have weaponized the protection of children to push a puritanical and controlling conservative agenda.

An executive for The Masked Singer snorts an entire rail in one go and prepares to make the pitch of his life

Ever-increasing emotional reliance on platforms is a reason I keep suggest practicing despair hygiene and not dooming on main. If it already feels impossible not to use social media as a venting outlet for emotional regulation, then maybe that’s a sign that there’s an overreliance happening.

"You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.....I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality."

What's the greek term for rule by dork-ass losers

Each successive rewatch further proves I cannot get through 1917 without crying.
