Seeing some random takes on bluesky today, like hoping that we can give cruelty back to cis people, I'm certain that is going to be a great way to move forward, I remember hearing something about "an eye for an eye" but I'm sure that saying works out perfectly positively for everyone involved 🤦♀️

Good. As soon as a company becomes publicly traded, shareholders supplant customers as the number 1 priority
Devolver wants to delist because indie publishing is not 'compatible' with public trading
Devolver wants to delist because indie publishing is not 'compatible' with public trading
The indie publisher claims public trading has created a 'valuation disconnect that does not take account of the lifetime and long-tail revenue delivery inherent in the video games business.'

RIP Sam Neill
More than just associating him with my childhood (because Jurassic Park), all the tributes I’ve read about him essentially described him as a good and fun human being. A 1 of 1
It’s always sad to lose a talent but to lose a good person atop that? That’s a true loss

Before people start losing their shit, this refers to publishing but not necessarily development
Amazon would be utter fools to give the property to another studio, but then again, being utter fools hasn’t stopped gaming and tech companies before

James Bond game sequels will be "done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios" says Jeff Gattis, GM of gaming at Amazon
"We did not [make First Light]. We do have a stake in it because we now own the IP. But that IP acquisition happened after the First Light IO deal was already done."

The saddest thing about Game of Thrones season 8 episode 5 (other than the fact it was hugely rushed and compacted) is Varys turning to Tyrion and saying he hopes he deserves his fate and that he was wrong... Because he wasn't.
She turned out to be as much of a pyromaniac as her father

Seeing uproar last night and this morning that a K-pop tribute concert last night in the SSE wasn't just K-pop demon hunters songs, and genuinely wondering if I live in the whitest place on earth 🤦♀️
Though glad to see that the majority of those who went seemed to have enjoyed it

I feel like science fiction is often written with the mindset that the universe is knowable, its secrets can be found out and understood, whereas fantasy accepts the unknowable darkness beyond the campfire.

I can't agree more with this, sony will drop an amazing game that I can spend hours and hours deeply engrossed in, and then spend the next 3 to 5 years pumping out live service shit that I legitimately don't believe that anyone was asking for, and that will continue to fail until they learn.
Sony’s live service push has mostly failed and overall botched their software strategy on PS5
So much time and effort wasted on shitty games or games that appeal to no one rather than games PlayStation fans would much rather play

Hey folks, it's world cancer day, and as your friendly neighborhood cancer support queer, this is your reminder, if you're able, to go get your damned screening done! And if you aren't able, then keep up to date with your self checks!

Starfleet Academy being able to blend genuine emotion with low stakes is such a fantastic position for a Trek show and I'm so glad it exists.

But no consequences when "law enforcement" murder it's own citizens...
I mean sounds Gestapo-esque to me.
And no consequences when "law enforcement" drags people from their communities in the middle of the day for no reason.
I mean sounds like kidnapping to me.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

What's a great way to pay tribute to an artist?
Ofcourse it's to go to an AI slop generator, entirely disrespecting artists everywhere, wasting natural resources, and tearing apart the work of actual artists so you can get a fun photo.
Great example our Deputy First Minister is setting.
