JK Rowling has engaged in Holocaust denial. She denies the fact that nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld institute and burned all their books which contained the first research on trans people.

With the passing of the incredible Tim Curry everyone is going to reach for their copy of Clue or Rocky Horror or Muppet Treasure Island, but I want to put in front of you 4 movies you may not have seen that Tim Curry is great in.

It's not that they think it will accidentally become this way - it's their intention. They are petty, vindictive little worms who want everyone who has ever disagreed with them so suffer. They believe they are bringing a god to life who will punish their enemies and give them everything they desire.

Something like 90% of tech billionaires believe that AI is going to evolve into a tyrannical, genocidal overlord, and so they have to work to make that happen, so it'll be nice to them, specifically.

Amazing what can happen when you have a healthy industry not firing everyone immediately after each project ends to min-max profits on paper and make idiot shareholders clap like circus seals.

So many Chinese-made games at today's Opening Night Live showcase. Game dev there is booming www.gamefile.news/p/china-open...

Okay, so this is a stupid argument people are dunking on... but it's worth noting that the glee with which some people have glommed onto an opportunity to use a bespoke slur that's culturally acceptable should be alarming. Disparaging, accurate terminology like "Plagiarism Machine" is all you need.

YES! THANK YOU! I've been saying this for YEARS!

Revelations was a really clever English rebranding of Shin Megami Tensei, what with all the biblical end of days vibes. It's a shame that it didn't stick around.

So many tech people seem to see the conflict between parenting and work as one in which work is the natural and moral victor. If you’re going to automate an aspect of your life, why wouldn’t it be the meetings rather than the spending quality time with your teenager?!

Oh damn, this is HUGE!! Hopefully this means we can get the whole trilogy, but even just this is incredible!

I had brushed this off as just baby-men not understanding that women can look different from different angles and lighting conditions, and that hard edge lighting accentuates contours, while soft light flattens them... but I realised it's so much scarier than that. www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/08...

Tokyo RPG Factory released their final game, Oninaki, 7 years ago (in 2019). 🍂 Charming low-key games with lovely artwork and music – but still a rather high price point. Did you tour any of the RPG Factory titles? Oninaki Review + Media: www.rpgfan.com/game/oninaki/

last week jk rowling was threatening to bankrupt the nhs if they treat trans ppl like human beings. the week before that she threatened amnesty international with vexatious slapp lawsuits.

รℓσαɳε ℓყรɓεƭɦ 🏳️‍🌈@sloanelysbeth.bsky.social · 5d ago

jk rowling does not support transgender people. she’s an absurd bigot. literally pr for harry potter. 🙄

This isn't a "surprising message of support for trans adults". This is a bigot whose arm is being twisted into doing public relations damage control by the media network that invested billions into a franchise she's been poisoning with hate for the last decade.

Transgender World@transgenderreport.com · 6d ago

JK Rowling issues surprising message of support for trans adults www.lgbtqnation.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Right now every facet of every multi-billion dollar industry the world enjoys is fuelled by talented, passionate people who are one email away from having their whole life slide out from underneath them, and/or stopped wondering how far off their hours worked vs min wage was long ago.

On one hand, absolutely fuck the Saudis. Monsters. On the other... they want to make back their investment; cut some deals and release the classics on GOG and everyone comes away relatively happy. THQN, get the rights to their LotR games.

I was hanging out with the Jays yesterday, and I went inside to put the camera away but when I came out they had gifted me a peanut! 😭

It sure is great when a single authority can just unilaterally pull the plug on a creator's ability to market their work to a significant portion of the audience without cause.

VGDensetsu@vgdensetsu.bsky.social · last wk.

I don't know if there's a deeper reason behind Sony's decision to pull all of a specific developer's games from its store (hopefully it's not because they are Ukrainian), but this has certainly sparked a debate about what distinguishes shovelware from an indie game made in a few months. 1/2

Is it a bad thing to develop a game in just a few months? No. Does every released game have to be great? No. Was it a good idea to have a market so heavily centralized around a handful of storefronts (Steam, PS Store, etc.)? No, definitely not. 2/2

Unfenced henhouses could be better for chickens, says fox.

Maybe the government will take the arts seriously if we build a betting apparatus underneath it. Odds for next year’s theatre season are currently at $1.15 for a musical based on a 90s movie, but commissioning an original work by a young local debut playwright is currently a long shot at $68.00

Oh damn, I forgot about this one. I have my 90s childhood paperback version, Facsimile First Edition, Pocket Hobbit 70th anniversary hardcover, History of the Hobbit, Art of the Hobbit, and I've been eyeing getting the Illustrated by the Author version soon... Alas, the list grows longer. xD
