I typically would have written something for N7 Day - but life and work just didn't work out like that. Anyway, it's the only thing in my life that's ever pushed me to actually get a tattoo - and I genuinelyu hope we get to see the next game

Today's N7 post is basically a "Hey, we're still making it. Really. " and that's pretty much it. blog.bioware.com/2025/11/07/n...

I've always simply thought whatever reason this started simply didn't matter once Nintendo realized it could make more money this way

This is one of those weeks where I find myself saying, "Boy, I wish I'd majored in literally anything else in college."

Absolutely gutted as I’ve learned more about how extensive the Square Enix layoffs are. Some incredibly talented people. This industry is just not in a good place - hasn’t been for quite a while

perhaps the most egregious thing that happened with the Future Class was when The Game Awards took money from Old Spice in the name of the FC & simply... pocketed it it wasn't used to fund Future Class initiatives, it wasn't used to help lift marginalised developers they just profited from us

going back to the 90s/00s it's basically impossible to overstate alexander o. smith's role in shoring up square's global dominance post ff7. absolutely insane localisation resume

square trying to cut its QA and loc teams to the bone for a great AI pivot is absolutely crazy your entire thing is prestiege narrative jrpgs distributed worldwide

Today had genuinely probably been one of the worst days I’ve ever had at LAX. If the airspace really does shut down starting tomorrow, it’s gonna be an absolute nightmare

Ive long said Tales of Xillia is sneakily one of the best in the series - on top of being a masterfully paced RPG. And the remaster only hones what the game already does well, while adding some smart QoL features. My review. www.inverse.com/gaming/tales...

Swear to god every day I fly is just an insane news day.

A hundred internal release targets just shifted

I’ve been able to confirm that these cuts impact people of a wide range of experience and seniority levels. Spoke with one person who has been there for well over a decade who was cut today. This is awful.

Unfortunately I’ve been laid off today from Square Enix, so if anyone has leads for any Community or Social positions please let me know. I’m just tired and heartbroken.

Gonna be a rough day, and weekend, at LAX

Hero

The math here means that each American would have to lose roughly 390 pounds. Easy peasy.

Another day another round of layoffs on the video game industry. Things are bad out here and continue to get worse

I forgot to check into my flight until three hours before 😭 terrible seating here I come

'A Pizza Delivery' is a short, surreal exploration game that's big on atmosphere but light on puzzles. www.inverse.com/gaming/a-piz...

Fucking hell. Absolutely despicable

GOAT

I guess it’s a good thing I’m flying today. Jesus Christ. I’m sure this will look great on Republicans right after an election that clearly did not go their way

Any award like Future Class should keep pages up in perpetuity, unfair to the subjects to do anything else. But it’s especially grim when you position it for years as the prestige way of finding the “best and brightest,” then quietly discontinue it, and quietly try to scrub all mention of it

looks like all mention of the future class program (which started in 2020) has been wiped from TGA webpage 🤪 the only archive that proves it existed is through the wayback machine. Here's my cohort (the last one): web.archive.org/web/20241119...

I love a lot of Pokémon’s character designs. This is not one of them

I've long said Tales of Xillia is one of the best games in the series, and one of the most tightly-paced RPGs I've ever played. And incredibly pleased that the remaster only hones what this game does well even more. Genuinely the best place to start Tales now. www.inverse.com/gaming/tales...

I've long said Tales of Xillia is one of the best games in the series, and one of the most well-paced RPGs in existence. Pleased to say that the Remaster only hones this game into something even better - with some really smart QoL elements and upgrades. My review www.inverse.com/gaming/tales...

NEW: Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has conceded. A stunning defeat for a MAGA media fixture who built a national profile on claims of a "complete gang takeover" of Aurora that led President Trump to visit and falsely proclaim the city "conquered" by an immigrant gang

Yeah fuck this. Done with Grammarly

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

It’s felt pretty good to live in woke 20 today

If you get Gordon Ramsey to host this I’m there day one

I mean, this is a better idea than half the stuff that’s currently on Netflix. So sure

Briana White - Aerith’s voice actress in the FF7 series- is currently running a huge charity auction with a bunch of Final Fantasy memorabilia. And all proceeds are donated Immigrant Defenders Law Center - helping for legal funds and reconnecting families. Take a look! tiltify.com/@thestranger...

Quite literally a generational speech

They’ll insist this is a one-off victory — something that can only happen in New York & nowhere else. They’re wrong. New York is the world financial capital — home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe. If everyday people can defeat oligarchs here, we can defeat oligarchy anywhere.

I think I owe Sam Raimi an apology because this doesn't feel that silly anymore

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Severely ironic that the weirdo vigilante guy is exactly who wouldn’t take a bribe like this

If you’re wondering what the future of the Democratic Party looks like, watch the young, brown democratic socialist on the TV right now.

HOLY SHIT

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

What we know so far, 9:30pm —Dems flip VA-Gov & VA-LG. —BIG Dem gains in VA House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani up —Dems seem to flip 2 statewide offices in GA —JD Vance's half-brother loses in Cincy. —Dems sweep Orlando council —PA: Dem justices up big —Maine anti-mail vote measure down —Krasner wins

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Oh my god it was right after the chorus dropped too

Capitalism is now illegal

Happy to see a couple things winning in Colorado too - mainly keeping free school lunches

The gift that keeps on giving
