“Feathers grow a little different on some crows.” The Crow Time crow stands on a log and looks down at a smaller rounder crow with rainbow chest feathers perched on a branch. The smaller crow’s eyes sparkle in trans colors.

I feel so much for those still there. Holding out hope that Renegades can bring some spark back. I love the Destiny world so much. Seeing the ecosystem of franchises in GaaS breaking down is heartbreaking.

The onboarding is still so bad. Put thousands of hours into this game and I still don’t recommend someone going it alone. I’m always happy to help new lights but at this rate I think I’d need the help.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Really loving the colors on these! The shape and feel also remind me a lot of the Expunge activity in the Vex network.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

If you ever stuck up for "ideological diversity ' or good faith debate or whatever and thought guys like Thiessen were part of that congratulations you are a huge sucker and Thiessen and the other conservatives are laughing at you now that they won.

Everything about this is just so disappointing. I wasn’t thrilled with HLB being a roguelite, but the Hyper Light universe is so amazing that I absolutely would have given this game a shot.

Solar Ash remains in my top games list forever. So sad for the devs.

Update: In an additional statement sent to Game Developer, Heart Machine sought to clarify the future of early access title Hyper Light Breaker.

"We're doing our best to refine what we can, complete key systems, and have the game culminate in a satisfying punctuation point."

Autoimmune issues suck (I have several too) but it can be a relief to know wtf it is and then realize you’re a badass for being able to do it all some days.

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness— for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justify—as a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sins—that is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?
