This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

I keep seeing think pieces on how star power and original ideas failed that tom cruise movie, and blaming streaming or theater prices. My dudes, it’s because the title sucks.

What a weird Emmys. The Buffy and Charlie’s Angels anniversary tributes were awkward, and if we’re saluting TV history where was Star Trek which turned 60 last week?

Child Link in the Zelda OoT remake looks way too child. The original pitch from Miyamoto had dating mechanics, and what survived is Link having a bunch of young girlfriends, which made me imagine Link as pubescent. Now he looks like a 6 y.o. And that’s super weird.

did bluesky hear about Miss Teen Indiana’s Garfield costume

A young woman in a Garfield inspired outfit with a Garfield headdress

The young woman from the first photo is holding a lasagna that says “lasagna my love language”

missinteenusa Tonight, Indiana is going Garfield!
My state costume celebrates one of Indiana's most iconic creations-Garfield, created by fellow Hoosier Jim Davis.
Born in Marion and raised in Fairmount, Davis turned an orange cat with a big personality into a character recognized and loved around the world.
But this costume represents more than a famous Hoosier.
The hand-painted comic panels on my skirt share messages inspired by my initiative, Captivating Confidence:
"Our differences are what make us beautiful."
"If we don't have love, we have nothing."
"Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates."
To me, true confidence is found in embracing what makes each of us different and recognizing that our greatest beauty comes from within. I am so excited to bring a little Hoosier humor, creativity and confidence to the Miss Teen USA stage tonight!
This one-of-a-kind costume was inspired by my vision and brought to life by Indianapolis-based costume designer, Jess West. @jesswestcostumes

DnD question has me stumped: why would my players ever want to buy a horse? - Most adventuring is indoors - More mouths to feed - PCs can carry their own gear anyway or in BoH - Mounted travel is not faster - Max I could plot maybe 1 cool mounted combat encounter every 10 sessions. Maybe.

I fell down a rabbit hole of 5e rogue debate over cunning action usage, and I have to disagree with the consensus. It’s an additional bonus action. It’s what makes the rogue feel awesome to play. BG3 has it right. The wording is intentionally nebulous, while rule of cool is pretty clear cut.

"Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump and paid its CEO $96 million," Sanders said. "This year, it's raising the price of an Xbox by $150 and eliminating 3,200 jobs. Please don't tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down."

The studios hit hardest at XBox have their next big releases in days (ZOS Online, Id) or just shipped (Obsidian). Of the studios still standing, Halo, The Coalition, and Playground Games have major releases in the next 7 mos. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s where the other 1600 layoffs are coming.
