The thing about JKR and telling folks not to buy Harry Potter shit is it isn't because we think it can take away her fortune and platform. She's so rich she would still be rich if she never sold another book It is because it is literally the smallest possible hurdle to clear to value trans lives

This is me every time I remember that the XIII trilogy is some of the most bonkers shit Square Enix ever put out and it absolutely owns.

I could easily go on about how incredible Once More Into The Void is and how gorgeous that hardcover looks; but also - have you considered the importance of mutual aid in this capitalistic hellscape?

I may be biased because I know some of these awesome folks; but LudoNarraCon is one of my favorite events whenever it pops up.

I remember seeing this in the theater and thinking, “this was fine.” Not “let’s make a sequel over a decade later,” fine, but totally passable. I’m so confused.

I picked it up and I’m absolutely dumbstruck how good the writing is, and how much I’m in love with it. It’s going to launch a thousand different fan fics and I couldn’t be happier for people.

For an enthusiast press magazine that supposedly cares about the creative industry it covers; it seems real dumb to run an AI ad. Like, put the magazine back in the ground dumb.

Go play George’s game. Why? I mean, I could say supporting indie devs is important (which is true!) but mainly because I know him and he’s a great guy. So choose whatever reason feels better.

If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you

The timing of this kind of press is intentional. How are they going to make these games when Bethesda and Obsidian collectively laid off hundreds? Don’t fall for it.
