I don't have much of my own thoughts right now. So I'm just gonna quote Order of the Stick:

"You told me before that you are who you are on the worst day of your life.
And that's true. That's 100% true. But you know who else you are?
You are who you are on the *next* day."
They Ban Horses, Don't They?
Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

If even around 10% of the people who followed us kicked in just $1 a month, Skybox wouldn't really have to worry about money anymore. If you'd like us to survive, we need your help.
If you're feeling generous today, consider supporting independent writing about games and movies. $5 gets you access to our Discord and our weekly Into the Skybox podcast, while $10 gets you all of that plus Skydive, our monthly deep dive podcast. But even $1 helps.

"You have to be at least open to the possibility here Scully, we know someone or some thing is sending out a signal."

"That may be so Mulder, but that doesn't mean it's the Scatman."

"Then who is calling out from Scatland, Scully? Who's calling out from Scatman's World?"

People can make jokes about Kingdom Hearts' story, but it's one of the few franchises I can think of that regularly releases collections so that fans can experience entries they may've missed due to being released on a console they didn't own
After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

They make games and movies like they used to. So many of them. Same with books.

But the mechanisms you learned about them were totally gutted and changed to only amplify shit that's already popular.

It's still there! You're just mostly on your own to find it.
