Still reeling from @edgarallanbro.bsky.social when I reached the water level in Ninja Gaiden: Black last night

Counter-argument: You should use Sinners to springboard yourself into some other Black American horror like the following

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

Ryan Coogler is one of the last great American film directors

I think a lot about how we rented every game I played as a kid because that was what we could afford and how many people have been priced out of art (games, film, music, theater, etc) as I've gotten older. It's profoundly sad. Moises writes beautifully about who gets left behind by this. Read it.

Truly cannot wait to experience the best Star Wars has ever been and the last time it will be good.

I am old enough to remember when a movie character said "PAPERS PLEASE" it was a universally understood signifier of an evil regime

What always strikes me about Harry Potter is how unable a lot of that fanbase is to move on to anything else or seemingly even try other things. Even if you love something, you should want to experience other art. You say that to some Harry Potter fans and they act like you shot their dog.

We shouldn't human traffic guilty people to foreign death camps, either, actually.

As someone who has merely watched Blue Prince and not played it, I cannot tell you how much more interested in it I would be if the house just... changed around you House of Leaves style (but less scary) instead of having you draft rooms. I don't know how that would work. But man would it be cool.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

"That’s the heart of the thing, that you are having a discussion with something. That means taking it seriously in a real way." @theautumnwright.bsky.social talks to Grace Benfell about her approach to game criticism:

Put it in the bin. The human cost isn't worth it. Never was.

Sick of seeing arguments about the inefficacy of collectively turning off the money faucet to someone who has personally funded global efforts to strip away the already-precarious rights and safety of trans folks. If you want to live that life, do it away from me and stop wasting time equivocating.

This should be the easiest boycott ever and if you can’t even satisfy this baseline level of solidarity then you have no right to question why we are all now under the gun.

A little late but a great preview from @edgarallanbro.bsky.social My anticipation for this game was already quite high but after this preview it is starting to boil over. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXfq...

And it's up to journalists to show the public this, especially now

Neurodivergent people are inherently worthy and deserving of care, dignity, and respect, no matter their perceived value to a capitalist dystopia.

This is not just ableism, it is supremacy. It is eugenics. It is Nazidom. Serious people in Australia need to start talking a little more seriously. I wish our journalists weren't a collective pack of private school dickheads that don't know anything other than how to deepthroat boot.

Thinking about StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, about how it is one far and away the greatest game released in 2010, easily the best RTS ever made, and genuinely an all-timer in every regard and how nobody talks about it anymore or puts it on "Best of" lists. Absolutely insane.

So fucking right

Today I'm finding out which people believe that if you're part of a population that is a small overall percentage of humans on the planet, it's okay to strip you of rights. I wonder if they have considered how easy it would be to classify *them* into a small overall percentage, and do it to them.

Launch this guy into the sun.
