All this to say: Academy looks to have far too much Discovery and not enough Strange New Worlds for my liking.

Ah man can we not just get some decent Star Trek please? The worst people you've ever met travelling through space in a Hilton hotel lobby being forced to think their way out of genocide?

No?

Wasn't there something about how he can buy his way into lead roles/exec prod roles due to his independent wealth, or did I hallucinate that?

Jenny Nicholson tweet continues to not miss

The xenophobic author that @bitmapbooks.com is defending has a prejudice that is not exclusive to Brazilians.

He has plenty of hate in his heart and have some things to say about our fellow hermanos from Argentina as well... by calling them primates.

Capture from a tweet from @theWellRedMage, account from Moses Norton, author from Bitmap Books: "No, since the turbo controller is Japan exclusive and you'll need to order it from a primate in south Argentina In order to get.."

October 11th. Fifteen years ago today I had my first day of work with a little game dev team in Austin, Texas called Arkane Studios. They were just gearing up full production on a new game in a new IP, called Dishonored.

I'm still a little confused how the Blanksword kickstarter hasn't cleaned up, while the Hymn To The Earless God one (which I admittedly helped with PR for, for free) was a big hit while I assumed it would be a far more niche game.

I guess folks just like weird gothy bugs. Silksong backs that up!
