I witnessed the NW side of Chicago rally against ICE the community was loud and clear: we love our neighbors and hate the gestapo Lines of people blocking ICE agents from entering schools, cars following convoys loudly honking their horns to announce their presence. It was a thing of beauty

Bluesky users: Oh no, the mods are all being horrible, condescending shitbags Somethingawful Forum users:

@bloomedwings.bsky.social wanted to do a letters series. I thought it sounded fun. here's our first chat - on games that respect our time (or don't.)

I appreciated the unique angle @qwertyprophecy.bsky.social brought to The Dark Queen of Mortholme, and the tightness of its execution. @monstertheater.bsky.social a solid addition to your publishing repertoire.

Playing as the antagonist is not a new concept, but Dark Queen of Mortholme puts its own twist on the material in a short, but impactful, game. @stevenstoermer.bsky.social reviews.

the only way I've been able to survive these last few weeks has been to watch the Ride of the Rohirrim every morning before work

Was a pleasure working/learning from Garrett and @elijahgonzalez.bsky.social over the last few months, super glad I got to help launch a whole new site. If you havent been reading Endless Mode, rectify that asap!

With the release of The Ivalice Chronicles, @wendeego.bsky.social muses on the history of Final Fantasy Tactics, and how the game’s reputation has been shaped as much by fan contributions as official releases.

you can now set up a free JSTOR account as an "independent researcher" and get access to up to 100 articles a month, no questions asked. Aaron Swartz was all but killed by the government for downloading articles off JSTOR around its paywall. Take advantage of this but don't forget who the enemy is

explaining to a normal grandperson “Yes, it’s called Chainsaw Man” “What is it, some kind of guy who cuts people up with a chainsaw?” “It’s actually a meditation on economic disparity and emotional isolation and despair in the modern world. But yes, he also cuts people up with a chainsaw.”

In my 50s I will release the Piece that will Solve Videogame Criticism You guys got 20 years to get with it and follow me, the Amateur of Videogame Analysis so Blessed by working In The Margins she will do Videogame criticism the Correct Way
