never thought I would find a Bioshock Infinite / Royal Tenenbaums overlap

One thing that isn’t remarked upon enough is that Gunn making a hit with Superman, and running DC, is a decisive victory against Gamergate-style bad faith attacks from the right. It can be done, and it should be noted, and celebrated as such.

A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life. Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.

who in this coffee place chose both papyrus AND comic sans as the two fonts for these labels. do they know? they must know

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Charlie Kirk’s ultimate goal, which he said time and time again, would have been the suppression, through threat of violence and the use of state power, of the rights of those he disagreed with, including freedom of expression. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Hey gamers, Luna here. I'm a graphic designer for ttrpgs, you can hire me to make your zines cooler, or to kill your enemies with my mind. Unless they deal poison damage, then I'm out. Anyways, you want this. Yes?

Chants of Senaar is 40% off on steam at the mo (~ £10). I reckon it's one of the best videogames I've played.

This is trans rights, too. There is no viable position for the Democrats other than “trans rights are human rights.” Trying to triangulate a position where you throw trans people under the bus “just a little” to woo swing voters only feeds the right’s argument that trans people are a threat 1/x

my brother, once you ask your phone for this atomistic piece of information, what exactly are you going to do with it that is in the slightest bit useful without actually already knowing how to play the piano?

I’m running a Thirsty Sword Lesbians game and I’m positive that gamers who play BG3 for the ships would enjoy that game than D&D. Baldur’s Gate has R-rated sex but it’s not exploitive because anyone you romance feels like a whole person! But D&D adventure books are safe, sanitized Marvel movies

I feel like what publishers took away from Baldur’s Gate’s success is that every game needs to have like 5000 hours of content, instead of the much more valuable takeaway imo: you need to let players have sex with a demon lady and a man who turns into a bear

*sigh* No, that’s just the effect of several centuries of rain through an iron grate. Nobody was wasting precious oil during a siege. they were throwing piss

i've had silksong on the top of my wishlist since 2019 and that's so long that i'm almost sad to buy it now. finally moved @sixesixesixe.bsky.social from Following to Wishlist today so i can recapture that rush

Okay, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor

A Rascal sister site has launched: @roguesite.bsky.social Former-Polygon writers have gotten together to launch a worker-owned video game journalism outlet (with a little rascally help). If you mourned the loss of one site, celebrate the birth of another, and support the people making it happen.

i read once that the VFX people don't have the well-established unions that SAG and IATSE have for actors, old-school SFX people, and propmakers, suggesting it's one reason every studio is so keen to replace practical effects with CGI

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

Was rummaging through old articles and found this one of Demetre Daskalakis. Apparently, back in 2013, he went to New York City's gay sex clubs and bathhouses and administered meningitis vaccines and helped beat an outbreak.

ChatGPT is telling people to kill themselves. ChatGPT is an OpenAI product. @rweingarten.bsky.social is working with OpenAI to push ChatGPT into schools. If I'm wrong about any of these facts, please correct me. If I am right, we all deserve some real answers.

My home party is playing Strahd. A rite of passage for all home d&d groups, I feel. While looking for art though, I came across this cool AF looking setup, co-written by the late great Ashaun 'Kingdapperwombat'. Check out STRAHDJAMMER! www.ouzelumbird.com/strahdjammer...

like the overwatch and world of warcraft teams before them, over 450 diablo devs have voted to unionize. last year's mass microsoft layoffs convinced them to start organizing, but this year's kicked things into high gear

Still working on this and pushing to get it—or at least an episode of it, a la Star Wars—out by the end of the year. It’s my baby, I have a lot of big dreams for it, and I’m letting perfect be the enemy of good.

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

Dear Disney. In Moana, we establish the sea is sentient. In Frozen, the sea kills Elsa's parents. ELSA VS MOANA is a revenge thriller where, etc, etc.

Oh my god

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

When Valnet bought Polygon, they reached out to me for a permalance role and when I responded to their offer with my actual freelance rate, their recruiter fully admitted it was fair market price but they absolutely would not be paying that. The offer was still more than Daniel describes here.

Do you want to play a TTRPG that is decentered from violence, that is about survival and epic journeying, but that is also NOT rules light, has cool crunch the likes you've not seen before, and comes with a truly original take on fantasy? YOU should check out Zephyr www.araukana.com/zephyr-1

The three greatest words you can hear as a writer.

Making a stranger at the gym open all my protein powder so I can retain my rights to a class action lawsuit when they find arsenic in it

Any time a movie starts with an opening text crawl or character voice-over to deliver exposition, I'm like "Ah, one test audience member was a bit confused/on their phone and the producers didn't like that" Confusion is good! It invites questions that can be answered later! That's free mystery!

...absolutely incredible. Here's what Medieval Bologna would have looked like when all its towers were intact. Florence didn't have so many but did have dozens, so the richest part of the city center would have looked much like this. Much to the despair of the city fire brigade! 11/?

“Run the gauntlet” has nothing to do with gauntlets, and some usage guides prefer the term GANTLET. The term comes from a 17th century punishment in the Swedish Army, gatlopp, “lane running,” where the lane is flanked by soldiers who beat the runner with weapons.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven
