it is appreciated that you've been trying to atone for it, but i don't know if there's any fixing this. that your brain allowed you to do it once at all is unfathomably terrible and cruel. many crimes happen for a multitude of reasons. rape happens just to traumatize someone; to violate their body and safety; for the perpetrator to get the power they seek. 

you could've been previously open about this publicly, but you chose not to. i understand why, as that must've been scary to think about. but now everyone knows anyway, and not because you trusted or respected people -- your friends, your colleagues, your audience -- but because this discovery has forced everyone to reckon with this level of betrayal in a very public manner. that only makes their processing harder.

i am incandescent over having called you a fellow coworker, respected and admired you as a colleague, and trusted you as a person. your peers who are marginalized for their gender must now contend with yet another seemingly safe man turning out to have been dangerous -- and the deep fear that instills in all of us. you have hurt many people with this, and nobody has an obligation to forgive you. i hope the person you traumatized will find peace, healing, and kindness, especially in the wake of this information being released without her consent.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the veggie pizza - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the supreme pizza - you stay on Lego Island and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

DK Bananza is the most wonderfully depressing game. It’s clearly the work of lifelong game developers mentoring novices and it’s the kind of game we’d have a lot more of if game publishers actually let game development be a stable, life-long career for people.

I don't know what galaxy-brain level exec decided it would be cool to purchase a profitable gaming blog and then immediately lay off the staff that make it what it is five weeks before a massive console launch but fuck them and fuck this.

Can't stop laughing about how in the middle of me listening to the most recent ep of @bloodgodpod.bsky.social after Dark and hearing @seamoosi.bsky.social reference how many times The Last of Us has been re-released it somehow got ANOTHER RE-RELEASE.

Sure, he's preventing me from fixing up the couch, but really, is there any better way to spend a snowy Sunday than cuddled up on a messy couch with a cute cat?

I’m so very late to the party, but I just finished the #Mistborn trilogy a couple nights ago and I can’t stop thinking about it. I can’t properly express how incredible it is to have found what may be my favorite fantasy novels of all time. Looking forward to reading #Warbreaker next!

A message with the Old Republic logo from Star Wars at the top:

Sorry, the Jedi Order isn't available right now.

Order 66 has been enacted in the Galaxy. Unfortunately, that means every single Jedi, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, is now an enemy of the Republic.

We are fortunate that Emperor Palpatine has indicated he will work with us on a solution to reinstate the Jedi Order once he takes office! Please stay tuned!

Me when Nintendo announces Music app for NSO subscribers: “Okay, sure, I guess? Not entirely sure this is for.” Me a few days later listening to Wii Menu Music on loop in my parked car: “Oh it is for ME, it is SO for ME.” #nintendomusic #nintendo #vibes

I’m rather shocked & embarrassed that I never stopped to think about this practice more critically. In retrospect, I can think of at least a dozen examples off the top of glowing, effusive previews or even cover stories for games that were later critically savaged; or worse, forgotten to time.

Never faster has my mind been changed from, “I don’t need a console” to “This must be in my living room.”

From the makers of “boiling the earth alive to pretend to dig for fake money” and “your trading card now lives on the blockchain” comes “we have no imagination and we’ve spent billions ensuring our computers don’t either”
