I am so glad the Youth appreciate the culture & heritage of Chicago and specifically that the Blues Brothers really fucking hated Nazis (hard same)

Deadlock is really cool and worth picking up if you’re looking for a great BSG-themed strategy game.

I'm having a hard time placing my WICKED: FOR GOOD review, so to the masses I go: I have forgotten more about the play and novel than most people will ever know to begin with, and I would be a huge asset to your outlet. I'll happily pub on my own, of course, but being paid is also nice!

The amount of spam calls I get in a day now is crazy. Today we're up to over a dozen. It just never ends, man.

He's so real for this.

This is such a powerful opening paragraph to a stunning essay, I am still thinking about it hours later. Full article: people.brandeis.edu/~teuber/Care...

Making my @rollingstone.com debut writing about Monolith's incredible F.E.A.R. and how the story's meaning has kind of gotten lost over the years. Alma isn't F.E.A.R.'s villain. Armacham and the people that made her are. She's as much a victim as anyone else, a spirit of vengeance made, not born.

This is one of those "I got to edit this, and I'm very proud to publish it at @skyboxcritics.com " pieces. Ash does great work, as always.

my latest is out for skybox!!! 💜 the casting of teruyuki kagawa in yakuza kiwami 3 is not only disgusting in itself, but also ridiculous in its hypocrisy considering rgg's past recasts and the series. i feel, and write, very strongly about it please read, i think this is some of my best work 💜

Every company website is so desperate. You're on their page for five seconds and they want to send you notifications for the rest of your life. It's like if you asked somebody at an airport how to get to Terminal D and they told you, then got down on one knee and proposed.

"I was wondering if maybe you could put directly in the newspaper that I'm mad?"

I have the same opinion of The Game Awards that I've had since its inception, but character development means I now confine them to DMs and private chats. That's progress, chat.

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

It’s not your fault. It’s the most cynical abuse of people who believed there can be ethical consumption under capitalism. You were sold the idea of a car that doesn’t destroy our environment. What you did was finance global dictatorships & mass murder. You should be so irate that you burn the car.

If you have a Tesla you should get rid of it immediately.

Tomorrow at 12pm PT/3pm ET I will be playing one of @begroom.bsky.social's favorite games Super Mario RPG for the very first time to help relieve medical debt for him and his wife Jen dealing with MG. I hope to see you there! www.twitch.tv/camfinalmix Donate: www.gofundme.com/f/help-jen-r...

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

I’m going live with several folks to raise money for our close friend @begroom.bsky.social’s wife who is facing an arduous battle with her chronic illness, Myasthenia Gravis (MG). DONATE: gofund.me/44b193917 WATCH: twitch.tv/MamaVitelli

Rich people used to build concert halls and fund public spaces and give generously to charity. Partially out of guilt. Partially because they wanted to do something good or put their name on something that would last. Partially because they knew the lower classes would eat them if they didn't.

All right, piece is in to my editor. Story time resuming.

I got into a cab in Vegas once during EVO with @connormakar.bsky.social and the driver asked us what we do for a living and we said we wrote about video games (I almost never answer this question honestly, but it was a good night and he seemed harmless) and he said he loved video games. 1/X

I believe that Rockstar can delay this GTA VI out of Donald Trump's presidency if they try hard enough.

Reminder that this is still going on this week. We've got RV There Yet and Among Us tonight. Still could use a few more folks for Among Us so let me know if you wanna join!

there are 3 NYT conservative columns and they just rotate bylines to keep it seeming fresh: 1) What the Dems Should Do, By Someone Fundamentally Opposed to Their Values 2) Change Scares Me, But Not Enough to Learn New Things 3) Good Governance is When I Have a Princess Leia slave, By Ross Douthat

White people are absolutely undefeated when it comes to voting for the worst political candidates possible.

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖 Hint. Fucking. Hint.

Just checking you all know about Spirit Swap, the game that came out this year that I directed alongside many incredibly skilled friends and workers! We’re a majority (uh I’m pretty sure 100% tbh) marginalized people co-op and self-published! Please check out our trailer I love it so much!

Sex pests stick together

Jake is a criminal who steals hair ties.

Today we just got 100 new followers and a bunch of people saying "whoa I've never heard of this" re: the game we have been thumping into the ground for the last 3 years by posting one gif from our earliest demo. If you think you post too much about your game: you probably don't!

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Can not stress enough how cartoonishly perfect of a day it is in NYC today. A comfortable 65 degrees. No cloud in the sky. Most golden light you have ever seen. It’s like the city is on a soundstage. You would call it corny if you saw it in a movie’s ending.

gotta say this whole business about ‘electing a muslim mayor is basically pissing on the graves of 9/11 victims’ is just…just shockingly racist stuff i mean what else is there to say about it

i wouldn't be a total glenn youngkin hater if i didn't mention that the results tonight mean that his total tenure amounted to presiding over the destruction — at least for the next few years — of the virginia republican party. lmao.

good news! trumps narcissism will not allow them to learn anything from this lol

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Abandoning our trans sisters and brothers and pretending we're not a beautiful nation of immigrants is a losing strategy and I'm moved to tears that this is so evident tonight.

Living for the electoral blowouts across the country tonight.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

one year and everyone is so sick of your boy that Virginia is starting to look like Massachusetts and a democratic socialist won a million votes in NYC, get fucked

"You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.” Fucking SAVAGE for him to invoke Mario Cuomo.

"Let tonight be the last time I utter his name" is a generational, orbital strike-level fuck you. Mamdani ethered that dude off the face of the earth.

If you need me, I will be drinking. What a lovely day.

"let tonight be the final time i utter his name as we turn the page on a politics that abandons the many and answers only to the few" AIR EM OUT, MAYOR

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

Savor this moment, friends. They couldn’t buy their way to a win. They couldn’t racist their way to a win. There are more of us than them, and we fucking beat them. And we can keep beating them.

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness
