This is some evil, evil shit that is simultaneously shocking and not surprising at all

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

TYPEWRITTEN. TYPEWRITTEN PAINTING.

Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is as much a compelling work of rhetoric as it is a game with strong themes and great characters. It spends 2/3rds of the game setting up a steelman position to knock down in the climax, and that's part of what makes it so fascinating 20 years later.

Finally Finished Final Fantasy XVI. I'm emotional about it. I love this game. Despite its flaws, it's purpose-built to remind us that we can affect change in the world. Clive is the GOAT. #FinalFantasy #FF16 #FFXVI

The massacres are so bad you can see the discoloration on the ground in satellite images. They have been in stage 5 famine for over a year. This isn't a war, it is a genocide despite the ICJ's denial and the US, UK, and UAE have blood on their hands. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

Odin dark is my BOY in this run of Conquest. I decided to pick the game back up after years away for fun, and everyone that sleeps on this guy is missing out. He doesn't take much investment to do his job, and he improved the entire run for being used. #FireEmblem #Fates #Conquest

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

I've had thoughts about the #fantasy genre of late, and I decided to write some down. Eventually I'll put my criticisms of Sanderson down so I don't just sing his praises, but there's a part of Rhythm of War that I think captured what the genre should be. calenbender.medium.com/the-dog-and-...

The petition calling for the revival of #Everhaven has nearly 10k signatures. Spread the word to others and to game publishers of the game and how much people want it released and saved from Forte. #ProjectDragon #cancelledgames #cozygames www.change.org/p/bring-back...

Here's how close #Everhaven / #ProjectDragon was from Early Access. If only there was a game publisher out there who want to save it~. Gambit Digital is one possible candidate. #BringBackProjectDagon #cancelledgames #cozygames Source: x.com/FromHappyRoc...

Define your music taste in eight artists: Poets of the Fall Blind Guardian The Amazing Devil Linkin Park Ado Guilhem Desq Neonfly Eluveitie It's so hard to narrow things down so much, and I made sacrifices on favorites to get a better representation of breadth, but a lot is missing still 😅

Another note on "His Majesty's Dragon": I enjoy that Lawrence's arc in this book is in large part setting aside the stiffness of English high society in favor of shared humanity and authenticity. He's still a bit stiff, but the way he develops and is contrasted with Rankin is great characterization

I've started rereading the Temeraire books by Naomi Novik, and I can't help but appreciate how vivid the combat is--something hard to render at scale, imo. I also can't help but think of how cool it'd be as a game. A cross between Dreadnought and Century: Age of Ashes? Could be incredible to play

Whenever I finish a book series, I mourn. The worlds are real, in their way, and leaving them behind with a closed cover feels like saying a last goodbye to a dear friend, trite as the comparison is. Some series are harder to end than others for me. This is one of them. Goddess bless Melanie Rawn

I feel crazy reading this. All these men with their insane theories about the end of the world and too much power/money to indulge all their fantasies of apocalypse and "saving the world" by violently oppressing and killing people. www.wired.com/story/the-re...

Sometimes the only way to remember and reconnect with an old love and story is to feel the grief of it anew. Tears, in joy or sorrow, are as much a sign of a story told true than any number of objective measures espoused by learned men and women. I've missed these books dearly. Goddess blessing.

Emphasizing this excellent point: speaking only positively of any health condition isolates people who are really suffering. Even if it isn’t a policy, discouraging people from talking honestly about conditions, treatment, etc endangers people at the highest risk to protect people from discomfort.

I had some thoughts about Fire Emblem, the recently announced Fortune's Weave, and its relation to Three Houses both in-universe and as a developmental sequel/prequel. #FireEmblem #FortunesWeave calenbender.medium.com/fire-emblem-...

KILL THE RICH. SAVE THE WORLD

Finally finished the finale of book One of The Wizard, The Witch, and the Wild One, and what a fucking sendoff for the first part of the story. What an epilogue, and what a tease for what's next. The Great Bear, dude? Holy shit. #WorldsBeyondNumber #WWW

Seeing people up in arms over this, like she doesn't deserve the honor, etc. Hear me out. It's a fascist gov't honoring someone who died trying to secure power for the fascist party leader. Time to stop looking at things the old way. They're fascists. They're following orders. There's no honor.

Oh boy it's Sunday, time for One Piece to rip my heart out and slurp on my still-warm blood! Pure emotional damage!

@worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social my wife @mornha.bsky.social has opened my eyes to the possibility of both a Wizard Sonic and a Wizard Shadow being reasonable namecloaks for a Wizard of the Citadel. I can think of no better candidates for speedy scouts of the Citadel war machine. #WorldsBeyondNumber

I really do wonder if part of Suvi's main character arc through @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social #worldsbeyondnumber is trying to find the balance between doing the "smart" thing and doing the "right" thing. The flip-floppiness of this last arc has been fascinating to watch.

Brennan, what the fuck? @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social ended episode 51 with the most bone-chilling reveal I've heard in an actual play, and now I'm looking at the Man In Black thinking, "Yeah I think he may have a point".

I honestly think ANDOR is more inspirational and rousing than like, the past 20 years of democratic messaging.

Thinking about Knights of the Old Republic 2 again because it's a wonderful game and a blessing to the Star Wars franchise. The scenes with Kreia and Atton on Telos are some of my favorites for how they build character and tension. I love when the party has agency outside player input. Love love it.

one thing that is important to emphasize at that this is just republican governance at work! this is what happens when you give republicans power in washington!

Republicans pulled an all-nighter to: -strip healthcare away from 17 million Americans -take food assistance away from 3 million Americans -eliminate school meal access for 18+ million kids -send energy costs soaring -add $3.3 trillion to national debt -raise health care premiums for seniors

I just said “Jesus fuck” immediately.

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

TODAY: We need everyone to call their Congressmembers and let them know to vote against the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that will strip healthcare from millions. Call (202) 224-3121 to be connected with your representative TODAY.

Amazing how when the Parliamentarian blocks Democratic bills, Democrats are completely helpless to do anything about it, but when the Parliamentarian blocks Republican bills, Republicans just do it anyway and Democrats are completely helpless to stop them - oh wait I'm sensing a theme here

Found out an author I follow uses AI prompts for her books. Unfollowing all her accounts. If you use AI in ANY capacity in your writing or art, please just unfollow me. I am so tired of this.

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

Summer sale so time to bring this up again. Do not buy Disco Elysium. The creators, writers, and artists that made it were pushed out via hostile takeover, and now ZA/UM is exploiting their stolen IP for tiktok and mobile gaming. Do not reward the thief by giving him more money.

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

The SWTOR Imperial Agent storyline really does fuckin slap, doesn't it? It's so good.
