Unchanged by time and untouched by the sword. For now.

Seeing a lot of people making videos about feeling empty. I encourage you to look for something you can do for your community. Modern life has isolated us so much & so much sadness can be mended by doing a kindness for other people just because you can.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Being a part of recent fandoms has reinforced a lot of my dislike for theory culture. Theories on their own are fine - it’s natural and fun to have them! But when people get too attached to their preconceptions over the story actually being told, attitudes get SUPER toxic.

All those times over the years I talked about how important owning your media physically is, and time and time again I'd get the "You DO own digital though" or "we gotta just accept it" I don't have to accept shit. I prioritize physical ownership or DRM Free EVERY time. This is why.

PlayStation is deleting over 500 purchased movies from its customers' accounts 🎞️ • Includes films like 'Terminator 2', 'Rambo', 'Apocalypse Now', 'Hot Fuzz', and 'Moonlight' • No mention of refunds • Comes after a licensing deal ended

I kind of feel like... based on the remakes of Link's Awakening, Thousand Year Door (technically a remaster), and Star Fox; Ocarina of Time remake might just be... the exact same game in a new engine? Maybe with more story? It'll be interesting to see. The new designs so far do have me excited tho.

@breebunn.bsky.social Couple notes if you're interested in Xenoblade: MMO combat, can feel slow, seems complicated at first. Great story writing, gigantic worlds to explore, beautiful music, awesome cutscene choreography. Gripes: XC1 side quests blow. 2 is the cringiest, for v/a and char design.

Shift Up taking some inspiration from Alita/Gunnm I think with the new Stellar Blade. Could be a coincidence. Don't like how the mc's face looks like a child, but I do love when a deep voice lady punches stuff.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Here's the thing I grew up with Earthworm Jim games and the cartoon and loved them too Yes, Doug sucks. But EWJ is bigger than he is and it's OK to be a fan. The games/show were made by a lot of talented people, not just him Plus he sold the rights in 1995, it hasn't been his property for decades

It always sucks to find a piece of your nostalgia attached to something vile. I played the original games and watched the cartoons as a kid. I hated earthworm jim 64 though. Abysmal gameplay. I wish the creators of fun stuff would stop being sucky human beings.

Nintendo should consider including a free digital game with the Switch 2 when the price increases to $500, like a redo of the Mario Kart World launch bundle. Brand it as a “Your Choice” bundle and let people pick from a selection of first-party games. Wouldn’t cost them much to do it.
