NEW: What went wrong with Dragon Age: The Veilguard? Why was the writing so tonally inconsistent? Why did it feel so shallow? Why were there so few choices? Really, after ten years of turbulence, it was a miracle that anything came out at all. This is the story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Here we go, something I've been drafting for a long, long time: how the US-centric approach to video games and their history / culture basically gaslights us who come from other realities: felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrifi... AKA, why LAN Houses, PokéTibia & Bomba Patch rule.

I think this illuminates a lot of what we’re seeing lately, which is that (even putting politics aside) Twitter has broken everyone’s brain and made them into Woody Harrelson at the end of that planet of the apes movie youtu.be/sUX_6Mmx670?...
