Played a bit of this with wife. It is remarkably terrifying and skillful in its storytelling. Emphatically recommended.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

having jared leto is like spotting ai in a project: sure, it's a problem in and of itself, but it's also indicative of other decisionmaking problems

Finished the Evocarium content of Borderlands 4. … where are the lore fans of the Borderlands franchise? We need to TALK.

Apparently, DMsGuild allows AI-Generated content. This is even more offensive than most enablers, given that AI Bots were famously trained off of WoTC artists. AI Art is literally pirated WoTC content. I hate this so much.

THANK YOU! Most game journalism is marketing, but journalists can do actual “Watch Dog” writing by letting us know when developers are shady about review copies. This is what I’ve wanted to see. Excellent.

The Borderlands 4 official music video is out. It is an excellent anti-fascist anthem that is, very regrettably, timely and appropriate. “I stand up for this land. Take it from my cold, dead hands.” youtu.be/swWaTeTUViM?...

Tagging @krystinaarielle.bsky.social ! That’s where I first learned of your amazingness!

Made a video of my hyperactive-Harlowe build on my favorite repeatable challenge. Not bragging about an “OP strat” or anything like that. Simply sharing a playstyle that makes me very, very happy. 💙 #Borderlands #Harlowe youtu.be/4NYBtWIyDIs?...

True GMing rule I have: “The Tommy Lee Jones Rule”. If you’re arguing for a boon/ruling/exception where this image feels like a suitable response, I am within my rights to kill the discussion without further debate and move on. Useful for things like “The Peasant Cannon”. 😁

Wife got me an acorn necklace!!!! I’m so happy. Good gender feelings.

I got the Torgue cosmetic for Harlowe. Life is complete. 💜🥰

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

BREAKING: MIT rejects an offer of federal funds in exchange for agreeing to the Trump administration's education agenda, the first university to do so.

Look at her! I love her, and you did an amazing job. 💜

Another day celebrating Gravity Wife. #Borderlands

The internet did, in fact, fully unite at one point. It was gentle and swift, but it happened. Once, Shigeru Miyamoto was asked who Bowser Jr.’s mommy was. He pointed to himself and said “Me”. And we all just silently agreed that this man has done so much, we’d not make that Weird. We chose peace.

Jon Oliver once said “TV wasn’t better back then; the audiences were.”

The article is written this way because Disney takes extreme actions to prevent coroners/doctors from examining someone on-site. They do this so they can be LEGALLY correct when they say “No one has ever died at Disneyland”. She may have died on the ride. But Disney’s lawyers would block that.

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

There is increasing evidence that White House staffers are showing Trump faked photos/footage to add gasoline to the flames of his bigotry. I hate everything about this.

You know it’s really bad here when people are concerned about making art that shows Klan members as the bad guys

It’s midnight and Ben is having Gender thoughts again. Current Status: I’d love it if I could be fully perceived and engaged with as a woman while also keeping my masculine-coded signifiers (beard, voice, so on). And maybe just wear femme clothes without it “being a thing”. Sigh.

Very little gives me more joy than running the Mr. Torgue blog. I've been doing it for over 13 years now. 💜 @borderlands.2k.com #borderlands

Cordelia Cupp is absolutely one of the best “quirky superdetectives” we’ve had in a long time. It breaks my heart that The Residence only got one season, but PLEASE go watch it. For fans of murder mysteries, it’s genuinely phenomenal.

Caring about pop divas not liking each other is the white woman equivalent of caring about the graphical fidelity of video game foliage

Meet Cocaine Hamster.

Look at how wonderful this is! I love this entirely. 💜💙

As Mr. Torgue’s #1 fan, I’ve written something to address his absence from the 4th @borderlands.2k.com game.

“Ben, you’re on a roll on LinkedIn!” Thanks, I literally only sign on to sabotage my brand, because I actively don’t ever again want to work with the type of people that value LinkedIn.

NO. FUCKING. WAY. I just finished it. Which one of you!? @gollyoodelally.bsky.social !? @samwinkler.bsky.social !? Who!? Was this planned!?!!!!!!!? WHAT.

….. no. Fucking. Way.

*sitting down next to the hottest Clair Obscure cosplayer at the convention* “Hey, is your name Tomorrow? Cuz-“

GMing is an underpaid (and most of the time not paid at all) full time job and GMs should get a raise. The raise can include telling them how much you appreciate them, their story, how much you like the session and their time.

Jesus Christ, this is on the same neighborhood block from where I lived for years. It is literally one or two crosswalks away from the Activision building I worked out. That refinery is massive and right next to a LOT of residences. I am worried for everyone there.

Ya ever feel like social media is, collectively, an SOS signal where we’re trying to hail down planes to rescue us from loneliness?

What the... this random TV original post-apocalyptic anime is set in a future where polycules are normalized AND so is being queer? Show's Towa no Yuugure.

Behold! A wife! #Borderlands

Rafa! Amazing! This is such a dynamic and lovely work. I’m happy to follow you for it. 💜💙

Absolutely magnificent! You did an incredible job with an incredible character. I love this. Thank you for sharing!

(Trying to place my PS5 Dualsense onto the charging dock) People who do the cowgirl position are heroes…

Los Angeles people, I tell ya. Most honest people. Better or worse. I go to the local fitness studio and tell the lady I want to try Hot Yoga. She looks me up and down and says “How about Yoga With A Good Personality?”.

TTRPG PEOPLE!! Do YOU have a project you've been putting off that is almost done? What are you waiting for!? Finish The Damn Game and submit it to the Jellyfish Finish That Damn Game Jam! (fully understand if you can't or smth comes up!) itch.io/jam/finish-t...

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Beat Borderlands 4. Love it. Love the lore implications. Love the end game set-up. Love the gameplay. I’m sure I can do lots of granular analysis down the line, but today I am just giddy. 💜

Heck yes! I love 7th Sea and am so super excited!

Local news just interrupted a news story about a mass shooting to report on a different mass shooting.

This crow was doing an impression of… something? A woodpecker? Unsure. Anyway, check out this weird bird I saw.
