ICE out of Portland!
#abolishICE #resist #PDX

A digital drawing of a frog standing on a bright red background. The frog is holding a sign that says “ICE out of Portland”. The frog looks mad.

Comparing the reaction to the season finale of Peacemaker to the one for season 3 of The Bear.

People are just… really, really bad at appreciating character/emotional journeys, aren’t they?

Anyway, I fucking loved both of them and the idea that broken people can find themselves with each other.

I can't even begin to describe the relief that there is in fact an Act 3 to this game.

Still from The Good Place with the captions edited.

Top half: Eleanor with her arms out, arguing, “I mean… When did Silent Hill become about feminism?”

Bottom half: Chidi in front of a chalkboard for Ethics 101. A screenshot from Silent Hill 1 on the board. Screenshot is of the head cult lady proclaiming, “My daughter will be the mother of god.”

Chidi argues back: “Silent Hill 1”

And then there's Cat. Eternally bored and/or annoyed. Our lady of the flat punchline. Just a wacky gal in a sitcom, as far as she knows. ...wait, as far as she knows? She KNOWS?

Laugh Track demo is coming Oct 13 to Steam NextFest. store.steampowered.com/app/3765430/...

Image of a retro television set showing an animated intro for a sitcom. Currently shown is Cat, a latina teenager with a flat and bored expression. She has long brown hair and a bulky gray hoodie with cat ears sewn into it.

Cat chatting with Juno and Remy in a school hallway. She miles and says: We're starting a baking club? I'm in. Make me cookies immediately. Put them in my face hole.

Cat is looking at her phone, where a social feed of various randos are saying "lol kys," "you deserve to suffer," "this is all your fault," and "nobody loves you and nobody ever will." She doesn't even react. Daniel, however, looks horrified and says: Cat, is your social media feed normally this horrible?

In the backstage writer's room, Cat has appeared, wreathed in shadow. She sits there, feet on the desk, and says: Maybe I'm done being your voodoo doll. Maybe I'm pushing out the pins.

So, ABOUT DANIEL…

…I mean, you’ll probably hear it before you see it…

Fiction Factory Games @fictionfactorygames.com · 26d

Meet Daniel! He's a good boy. He's a nice boy. He's popular, he's strong, he's well-liked by all. He's fitting in. He's doing his best. And he knows he could get ostracized and demonized at the drop of a hat if he ever stops being what they want him to be.

Laugh Track demo releases Oct 10th.

A VHS tape of a cartoon sitcom intro plays on an old television. Pictured is Daniel, a Vietnamese boy with a muscular build and a kind expression. He's doing a little arm pumping muscle motion in front of a wavy blue background.

Juno waves her arms around in the middle of having a panic attack. Daniel is doing his best to help her out, with a gentle and kind expression on his face. He says: Find the calm. Find the peace. There's a warm light at the center; see it, and feel it.

Daniel and Remy sitting in a booth at a fast food restaurant. Both look downbeat and depressed. Daniel says: I learned long ago that fitting in isn't just about making friends. It's a safety measure. If you're a friend, you aren't an enemy. But that line is thin and blurry.

Daniel and a teammate dressed similarly to him (but with skin made of cosmic energy for some reason) chat with Juno, who is holding up a foam finger and a little flag reading "Go Sports!". Daniel says: I have been training extensively for the Mid-season Semi-regional Quad-annual Varsity Junior Elimination Bracket Final Quarter.

Right, stream posts! You're supposed to do them BEFORE you start streaming! Ah well...

James is now live with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! We got a weapon to break the barrier, so clearly this is the final stream with the last boss, right?

I can’t explain it, but insisting Pluto is still a planet feels transphobic, while refusing to call Twitter ‘X’ isn’t.

Oh, absolutely! Like one of my all time favourite theatre experiences was watching The Others way back in the day during that opening week. The entire movie is dark, slow burning, with a pretty creepy premise.

But the ONE big jump happened and an entire theatre screamed. It was amazing.

this is one of the most chilling scenes in jurassic park, wherein, rather than showing us the brutality on screen, the movie uses sound effects to imply the gruesome violence as the cow beats the shit out of a bunch of velociraptors
