It shouldn't come as a shock when a man dies at 86, but I'm floored. I somehow never imagined that I would live in a world without Captain Picard in it. Thank you for everything, Sir Patrick. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
Patrick Stewart, ‘Star Trek’ Captain and ‘X-Men’ Superhero, Dies at 86
He’s forever known for playing Jean-Luc Picard and Charles Xavier, whom he “admired for their morality, for their kindness, for their sensitivity, for their compassion.”

Side tangent: my main beef with the ME series was how it felt like the later games shifted the game's theme away from "Alliances vs Supremacy" towards "Oh No, AI"
Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · 2w agoI think this is basically correct and I would just add that as I’ve said before, the mass effect series ended exactly how they had been telegraphing for three games and the fact that people hated it is a media literacy problem on their part

Emergency Commissions: 0$/300(?)$ Hi! Yet another situation, that sucks ass happened. I live with my family, and we share the spendings between ppl that work. Unfortunately, my uncle decided to go deadbeat and now we're 3 months behind on power bills. So I need help again, since it's on me now.
Can confirm for Koreans, the term 밥 technically means "cooked rice fit to be eaten", but it's more often used as "meal". So asking someone in Korean "have you eaten 밥?" generally doesn;t mean "did you eat rice?", but rather "have you eaten yet?"

We've been talking about how FF14 pays for all of SE's stupid flops but even I had never imagined that it's literally 50% of the companies profits. The "impassioned demand" from Yoshi-P for more resources to the CEO definitely hits different knowing that.
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 6mo agoStakes are high for the next Final Fantasy XIV expansion, Evercold, which looks to win back players after the disappointing Dawntrail. In FY2025, FFXIV was responsible for more than 50% of Square Enix's profit! New column from Fanfest in Anaheim last week: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
