@benzimmer.bsky.social any thoughts on "friendslop"

I did ask House House about this earlier this year:

"Complicated feelings on our end": Indie devs behind new Peak-like co-op understand you think it's friendslop, but "it's a slight bummer that the other half of the term is the 'slop'"

The term has negative and positive connotations

when @woodwould.bsky.social asked whether this image was appropriate all he said was "thoughts" and well

EA and games like The Sims, Dragon Age, and Battlefield are now officially owned by Saudi Arabia and private equity as $55 billion deal closes

When I asked House House about what this even is – "Red gourd...?" – here's what Nico Disseldorp had to say: "Gourd, huh? Yeah, OK, yeah."

Alex Zalben@azalben.bsky.social · 6d ago

Probably the least important question of this garbage decision but I wonder where that leads Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who was nominated at the Emmys as Lead Actor In A Comedy Series for Wonder Man and now it’s I guess a Limited Series? Or Disney pulled shenanigans here? variety.com/2026/tv/news...
