A portrait screenshot of Atsu from Ghost of Yōtei. She stands half in shadow, half in the sunlight. She wears a dark shinobi outfit with fur armor on her shoulders and a wide woven bamboo hat that hides her face. The same screenshot as before, but now Atsu stands in the light a bit more, showing off more of her outfit.

🎨Bayonetta's character designer, Mari Shimazaki made Miary Zo's Costume 03!

“The combination of a green base with red accents was inspired by the Madagascar flag, and from an early stage onwards, a white inner layer was incorporated to highlight Miariz's dark skin.”

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

A dramatic black and white photograph of Atsu from Ghost of Yōtei. She sheaths her sword as a dead body lays in front of her in the grass. Lightning strikes behind her, illuminating a mountain range in the distance.

Let’s be clear. Our government isn’t shut down because Democratic lawmakers want “free healthcare for illegal immigrants.” It’s shut down because Republicans want tax breaks for billionaires and pardons for pedophiles.

and even then, Tsushima presented the checklist format in an immersive and engaging way that no other AAA open world game at the time really did

sure you could say it's essentially just a fresh coat of paint but that already put it leaps and bounds over a lot of Ubisoft's output

if Tsushima to you was a noticeable step above Ubisoft's typical output with great design and mechanics, then how did you come to the conclusion that it's sequel (which is being universally praised for being an improvement in every regard) is somehow "ubisoft slop"?

ubisoft doesn't define open world action adventure games and it's close minded to think every game in the genre feeds into the same slop that ubisoft does

Atsu leaps from the top of a watchtower, sword held in a stabbing motion. She angled to assassinate an Oni Raider. The screenshot is stylized to only be in black, white, and red.
