I finished watching NEON GENESIS EVANGELION so naturally this meant that I could fulfil my lifelong dream of playing the EVA MAHJONG GAME this sucks ass. just a very boring implementation of mahjong. let me see the characters at least. come on

Really excited for the VR version of Dual Destinies. Didn't like that game my first time round, but I think awkwardly standing in the middle of the courtroom between everyone will really help the experience.

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

All of Ed’s supporting acts and house band have withdrawn from his tour. Most of them are Irish. Being Irish goes beyond being Ed’s version of culturally Irish. It means understanding our turbulent history and supporting those who need us and be loud when they cannot. FREE PALESTINE.

This is insanity. Irish Presidency's draft text of amendments to the GDPR allows training & operation of any AI without safeguards & tough legal basis (under "legitimate interest" a company claims what it is doing is OK. Up to you to find out and challenge in court). This is a free pass for US Tech.

Got tagged into a thread about how the community can support laid off devs, so I thought I'd put together a quick infographic. I made this company agnostic, since, well, games industry has been doing this a lot :( More Elder Scrolls specific notes in thread below.

Orange and Blue poster titled: How can the community support developers undergoing layoffs?

DON'T
Don't spread rumors or misinformation
	About who is/isn't laid off, why anyone was/wasn't laid off, what is going to happen to the game, etc.

Don't do things to "support" the devs if they haven't asked
	Don't review bomb games, cancel subscriptions, boycott the company, or yell at company employees online if the developers haven't asked you to. It does not help them.

Don't forget about this 
	The consequences of layoffs don't end when the news cycle moves on. Remember the devs when there's a cool announcement that they should have been a part of, or a bad bug they could have prevented.


DO!
Do listen to the developers and amplify their voices
	Use your platform to share the human stories of those affected, not just the impacts it'll have on the game.

Do dispel and correct misinformation 
	If you see someone saying something mean or misinformed, shut them down or correct them if you're able to.

Do follow the developer's lead 
	If the developers ask for a specific action (like a comment writing campaign, a protest, or removing a post you've made), do it!

Do tell them they mattered 
	Tell the team (or individual developers) about the impact their work had on you

Do offer direct support, if you can 
	Buy their art, listen to their podcast, leave a LinkedIn review if you worked with them, let them know if your company is hiring, etc.

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

Still dreaming of that Shin Kamen Rider sequel I'll probably never get. Shots taken from the Masker World concept teaser included on the Japanese 4k release of Shin Kamen Rider.
