YESSSSSS

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Protest, resist, yell, mock, organize. Dissent and dissent LOUDLY. We live under a fascist regime, not a successfully totalitarian regime. These people are not bright and they are not competent. They will lose.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

What exactly does this change about the game? It’s still held in San Francisco, which is a prohibitively expensive city and inaccessible for a lot of developers; Visa entry requirements for the US will continue to limit who can attend; A “gaming festival” does not sound like a professional event

And as I said on the episode: it was a very PAX-ass PAX. Yay!

It's been a bonkers September, so we're getting this out a bit later than we hoped. We saw some GREAT games and tech at the first PAX West to really feel like PAX West since the COVID-19 lockdown.

A Small Request For Assistance: Does anybody have a ticket to the MCV Women In Games Awards this week that they’re not using? I’ll happily pay for it, they’re just all sold out and I want to support my friend! 💛

For the first year in nearly a decade, I have an overwhelming urge to just skip Halloween. It sucks to feel this way.

Way way way back at the start of this generation, @amandafarough.ca and I (along with @matpiscatella.bsky.social) had a conversation on @virtualeconcast.com about pricing. Traditionally, as generations go on, more people would join the market due to discounts and bundling. Neither happens much.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

Y'all are gonna go "well look he's done X Y & Z" but did he roll up into Chicago with a tank like he said he would? No. Because he's a total coward who fell apart when people actually resisted his bullshit instead of sinking into "woe is me" nihilism.

What a wonderful reaction from @ayeforscotland.bsky.social for @causewaystudios.com's The Haunting of Joni Evers! If you're a member of the media or a creator and want to spend just a few hours (four max) on our dark supernatural mystery, we're glad to send over a code. youtube.com/shorts/nq2o-...

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

Can’t engage in American politics because I’m not a citizen here. Disconnected from Canadian politics because I’m not home. What a stellar feeling.

The Liberals bought these ungrateful, ecocidal assholes a pipeline and they still bitch and moan about how mistreated they were. You can't appease them for long, Carney, you stupid fuck, because a grievance against Ottawa is one of the only cards they can play, given how bad they are at governing.

A NEW EPISODE APPEARS! Bungie Jump (News Show): Sony has jettisoned embattled Bungie studio head Pete Parsons and raises PS5 prices. Also: Another Subnautica 2 lawsuit, a BioShock shakeup, and rare CEO transparency. virtualeconcast.com/podcast/epis...

We did a deep dive on the latest Unknown Worlds suit and this messy situation is likely to get ugly before it resolves. We'll have a full PAX West bonus episode next week... there was too much to lump them both into one episode.

This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

I don't really care if the future is short videos. I like words. Words have gotten me this far and I'm gonna stick with 'em for the duration

This is what happens when mainstream media doesn't hire game journalists to report on, well, games. You know there are a lot of un/underemployed game journalists out there, right?

A little update on the container garden! Got a bunch of new plants over the weekend with my seedlings still inside with their grow lights. I’ll properly label all of this later this week but pretty pleased with how well it all came together.

Many media types and Dems continue to operate as if Trump is a politically invincible figure, a "Teflon Don." But in truth he's becoming an increasingly weak, failing, diminished, unpopular, naked-emperor figure, and it's time to treat him as such. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2000...
