always ask any questions that are to be asked and never answer any
reading Bastion of Blasphemies, the new Pathfinder Adventure Path, and it's really tickling me how much it leans into being a "videogame" with mechanical lore unlocks, collectibles (you have to 100% to get the secret ending!), and loving tributes to vanias and Fromsoft
I've spent the better part of the last 12 years being told that Dark Souls II is this critically flawed, lesser game, only to see it be slowly redeemed. I was right when I reviewed it. I'm right now. For @aftermath.site: fuck the haters, Dark Souls II is (still) good. aftermath.site/dark-souls-i...
They Could Never Make Me Hate Dark Souls II
I have spent over a decade being told that Dark Souls II is bad. But history has vindicated the game, and I never let the haters win.

A little Odysseus micro out today at the fabulous Michigan City Review of Books, thanks to the wonderful Bobby Vanecko (a man of many devices). Hope you’ll give it a glance mcrb.neocities.org/nostos
i almost feel bad for ben shapiro, who has been trying to get the other culture war chuds to reverse course on the odyssey & claim it as a conservative movie. "it's about obeying god & honoring traditions!" sorry ben, your pals are fully unable to see past the minorities they do not like, no dice
the work coffee maker used to be a soviet-ass set of burners with collective brewing responsibility and now it's a Big Coffee iPad that needs programming and twice-daily "maintenance"

Thank you to the world for sharing the Beautiful Game with us, in return we give you the gift of halftime shows ❤️
Now that we have adapted the Odyssey it is time for an Aeneid adaptation to hear the Trojan side

only a team with real players can pull off a choke job like that
bendwalsh.bsky.social@bendwalsh.bsky.social · last mo.We’re choking in the round of 16 with a solid squad of largely big club European starters!
I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"
America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital
for weeks, I've been replaying pillars of eternity and deadfire, which I've newly decided are among the very best iso rpgs ever made (in front of them: disco, planescape, fallout 1, maybe dragonfall?). the games industry is rotten.
It’s also notable that for all the people who like to claim Douthat is a “reasonable conservative,” his entire oeuvre is like a catalog of the psychosexual neurosis of the Right. This guy can’t write or publish something that doesn’t reveal the whole repressed fucked upedness of that culture.

seeing that CPV goal at the World Cup, I'm struck by how the whole world—and especially its traditional "periphery"—keeps getting better and better at football, just for the love of the game

I spent years of my late childhood and early adolescence poring over and imitating john blanche's art.
Gareth Watkins@garethwatkins.bsky.social · 2mo agoRIP to John Blanche, the best to ever do it. Before Warhammer was even Warhammer he understood what it was: weird, gross, unsettling, maximalist.
The funniest thing about this is that Chris Nolan arguably made the most commercially successful right wing art of recent years with the Dark Knight films, and they're currently melting down at him for mildly unracist casting
Jared Holt@jaredlholt.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe problem is that “I am often scared and angry about social change” does not inherently lend itself to interesting art. You can be as technically skilled as the greats, but art with nothing interesting to say is just a commodity.
