Let hbomb buy The Escapist so I can ingest their archives
Escapist is old enough and legitimate enough that they might have a server or some shelves somewhere filled with interesting stuff they were sent by game companies, I had been hoping to send anything I found to the Video Game History Foundation.

Lots of pie in the sky ideas but hey.

Already ‘Dreaming’ of the weekend… 💭

“Featuring one of the greatest opening lines in rock… ‘Dreaming’ is both escapist fun and about escapist fun. 'Dreaming' makes the keynote statement [of Eat to the Beat]”

–Rolling Stone album review (via critic Debra Rae Cohen)

A reminder that The Escapist that people remembered does not exist anymore. Almost all the core staff packed up and left. Most reformed as Second Wind, which is doing decent work.

The Escapist now exists to promote online gambling and act as a mouthpiece for unhinged venture capitalists. Let it die
The Escapist accused Blue Prince developer Dogubomb of using generative AI. This is patently false and an utterly gross accusation.

The story has since been amended, but the damage has been done. You can search out the current version if you want, but here’s the original.

u cant have a movie where a character grows out of her escapist fantasy but the escapist fantasy is her capacity to affect change in the world and also her actual real life friend she made

I think The Escapist should be held accountable for libel

As someone who mostly reads horror, I'll never understand the vitriol towards "cozy" books. People say they are escapist, unserious, allowing readers to avoid big issues. And I'm like, girl, WHEN did your dark romance book fix society? Did I BLINK and miss your detective thriller solving crime?

Comic books aren't just escapist fantasy. They're sophisticated social critiques.

I think about this at least a dozen times a day.
