Someone: "Did you see that Bloodlines 2 isn't getting any perfect reviews?"

Me: "I know! Makes me more excited!"

Someone: "Huh?"

Me: "My guy, there are hardly any videogames on my list of favorite videogames of all time that have stellar ratings. Most of them are 6/10s or 3/5s. So yep, excited"

The shorter games with worse graphics made by less people discourse is starting again and the nuance lost in this conversation is: we absolutely CAN make big, hyper-realistic games, sustainably. The problem -- and the money drain -- is executive pay, leadership overreach, mismanagement, and whims.
Read Off Season if you haven't. And if you like it, maybe you're just a Jack Ketchum fan!
I do not follow Sports all that much

But

If Canada beats America in America's most American game 'Baseball,' the same year that it lost to America in Canada's most Canadian game of all time, 'Hockey,' well... well I just think that would be interesting, that's all.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is only 5 days away from dropping.

It's wild to write that sentence.

It's like writing "Jesus will return on Tuesday," except this is actually going to happen, is actually very cool, and this actually has a chance at saving my soul (making me worse)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
Funny Games (1997)
Martyrs (2008)
The Mist (2006)
Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head.

I'll go first:
-Silence of the Lambs
-I Saw the Devil
-Coherence
-Jaws
The Medium

aka the reason why it would be hard to find a worse team to handle the Silent Hill remakes
What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

Let them know what you think.

Gov. Healey: 617-725-4005
AG Campbell: 617-727-2200
Fenway: 617-267-0900

cis Bostonians specifically, we need you to step up. I'm already seeing my local trans circles raise hell about this, but we need you, too. I wrote a phone script. Use it and spread it:
I am simultaneously honored and insulted to know that when people around the world say 'Americans' they never mean 'Indigenous' or 'Native Americans' or 'American Indians.'
Tidal is best if you only listen to top artists and don't venture into obscure stuff all that much.

otherwise, if you listen to a lot of obscure stuff, I recommend Deezer. While Deezer doesn't pay artists as much as they should (which none of them do except for Tidal) they don't allow AI music

It is indigenous people's day, so that means if you think I'm sexy, you are legally required to tell me
Enjoy my last selfie for a while. Right after snapping this, I dropped my phone, and my camera just shows fuzziness. It's cool. I'm still hot.
My Lesbian look is complete:

For now, I have not only a pair of Doc Martens, but also, a Denim Carhartt Jacket

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.
Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs
Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!
UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.
Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."
