The Romeros have survived numerous setbacks in this industry for decades (Romero Games is John's ninth studio) and continued to survive them all. If they're saying this is the worst it's been in 40 years, I'm listening to them.

Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks. Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people.

When I first read about ancient, barely mobile nonnas travelling hundreds of kilometers just to spit on Mussolini's dangling, naked corpse, it baffled me, a little. I didn't really grasp how someone could be driven to that kind of rage. Well,

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

It's not normal that I can't watch animals being cute without wondering if it's AI. It's not normal that the two options we have are switch off one's brain and accept the risk of slop or become a mad pixel investigator who doesn't get invited to group chats anymore

Variety spends the first 8 grafs on JKR being a piece of transphobic shit in this article and that's the way every single report on her should work actually.

What happens when GTA VI comes out and no one can play it?

Listen, even though @innuendostudios.bsky.social is wrong about KQ6 (You can’t make a tier list without upsetting people, it’s gonna happen), this is a fun look and compendium on adventure game titles. youtu.be/yxl7BD1rCjE?... Also, Grim Fandango will always be S tier. ALWAYS.

Gonna drop the gimmick for a second and explain, as a therapist. What you're describing is a phenomenon called Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. It's a subconscious habit that develops in which a person seeks dopamine-releasing behavior at night to exact "revenge" on the day which deprived them

Everyone is celebrating this because it's good. But it’s important to remember it's also funny.

I hate AI so much. So. Much. Please stop trying to make me use AI. I will never use your ChatGPT, your Copilot, your Grok 🤮 I will die on this hill. It is unethical. It is error prone. It is predatory. It is destroying us. I hate it. I hate it all. I will hate it forever.

don't care. didn't ask. I hope the mold wins soon. read tomi adeyemi, ursula k le guin, and terry pratchett instead.

As someone who has been LOVING Against The Storm, you should check out some of their deals.

“People sometimes feel embarrassed of acting in Arabic, so they try to act in English. I'm trying to encourage them to roleplay in Arabic, but sometimes [even] I feel a little bit shy." Members of an Iraqi tabletop club discuss growing, teaching, and the oddities of RPG cultural barriers.

Here is my pride flag everybody! I hung one up yesterday in my office at Boston University, as they seek to enforce and defend a policy of removing them (along with other banners in public view, they say). This is a small act of love for my corner of the world, in a dark time. This flag goes deep.

Theater/opera person, here: this is likely due to "bleed," which is a phenomenon we're literally trained for. When acting (or in this case, role-playing) a character for a good while and there are intense situations (such as an RPG finale), the emotions of the character can literally become yours!

This really is an encapsulation of what being an American is: experiencing something needlessly cruel and profoundly stupid while propaganda you can’t turn off blares about how free and lucky you are

Please share this excellent video. It exposes the network of transphobes inbedded in the NHS and other government departments. Systemic transphobia in the UK must be crushed! youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

Just the story of his name is one of the coolest things of all time

Autistic people store the info for their special interests in their butts. That’s why their asses so fat.
