On October 1st, the Kickstarter begins for the final book in The Tides That Reign saga: In the Wake of the Blade! I'm so ready for the last chapter of this dark fantasy series to be in the hands of readers. Seven years of obsessing over this world and it's characters have flown by! #booksky

Hey Riot could you give me a quote that perfectly sums up the destructive behavior that has been eating away at the game's industry and causing it to spiral out of control into a live service nightmare? ...Perfect, thanks.

"Many a brave knight are going to die, on the Grail quest," Riot Co-founder Marc Merrill says of its plan to build the next great MMO. "But fuck it, it’s The Grail, so let’s go." #RiotGames #MMORPG #GamingNews #RiotMMO www.pcgamesn.com/league-of-le...

“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true

What happens a lot on social media is when someone (Warren Ellis, Neil Gaiman now Ed Brubaker) has allegations thrown at them people tend to leap out the woodwork saying "their work was never good." That helps no one as it's irrelevant. What matters is their actions and what they did.

With the holiday weekend, our editor is taking a much-deserved week off. A new episode of For Light and Dice is out next week, where the Squonk crew continues their time at the Republic Fair on Valo. And if you know anything about the novel The Rising Storm...

It’s a shame, too, because PinkNews would publish stories that either didn’t make the mainstream or else published them before they really hit the mainstream. (E.g. it was from PinkNews that I first learned about the anti-gay purges committed in Chechnya).

"When LGBTQIA+ rights were once again at risk, PinkNews was given a choice: continue to serve the LGBTQIA+ community...or submit to the allure of mass-producing popular, uncontroversial content...its decision to cave to the whims of the algorithm has left it in reputational and financial tatters."
