Hey! I reviewed The Outer Worlds 2 for @rollingstone.com and I had a grand old time. It’s a space opera RPG that in my opinions, hits the right notes.

'The Outer Worlds 2' Is a Quirky, Satirical Space Opera in the Vein of 'Fallout'
Obsidian returns to 'The Outer Worlds' with a strong sequel to their spacefaring first-person RPG

“Death Stranding 2 PC shadow drop” has Geoff Keighley written all over it, so I’m betting it drops during The Game Awards.

Going through the old camera roll and remembering this shirt I saw in Myrtle Beach in 2015.

Should have bought it.

Liv has a 96 average in Math and is at or above benchmark in English.

Charlotte is the same, if not a little better, and her teacher told us she’s going to be Star Student (student of the week, basically) next week.

Can't express my admiration for @thesmokingmanx.bsky.social @tamoorh.com @awildjessichu.bsky.social @lotrlore.bsky.social @yochriscruz.bsky.social @crecente.bsky.social (and more I'm forgetting) enough.

If you like my work, it's because of guiding hands like theirs making sure it's fit to print.
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.

Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.

So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

In case you’ve seen me get heated about Roblox on @giantbomb.bsky.social before, this thread summarizes the issues nicely.

Don’t let your kids play Roblox.
Oh, God, this is one of those "where do I even start" things, because Roblox is, like, *fractally* fucked. They are terrible at content moderation. A lot of the games are rated incorrectly, so kids can encounter graphic content (sex or violence) out of nowhere --

Rebekah is correct with this stance.

Do not let your kids play Roblox.
If we have a kid we are absolutely forbidding Roblox. I know I will inevitably cave on a number of other stupid things all their little friends are doing, but this is a hard line in the sand that no amount of screaming will change.
Oh my god that is the worst possible answer

This Pokemon Meets Fall Guys Game Was Saved After Wizards Of The Coast Cancelled It
In February 2023, Wizards of the Coast closed an internal game development studio, and with it cancelled multiple unannounced titles, one of them being Whimpact!, a "Pokemon meets Fall Guys" online multiplayer game. Rather than let it die, Leah Hoyer, who was at the time VP of creative for WotC, opened her own studio called Level Headed Games, acquired the rights to Whimpact!, and continued development--and it's set to release in early access soon. Whimpact! drops players into the world of Whims, cute little creatures that pass along magical powers to those who collect and care for them. The more they're cared for, the stronger those powers will be. Up to eight players will be able to join together in co-op arena-style gameplay as they collect Whims, gather mystical energy called Starcane, and navigate obstacles while fighting hordes of robotic invaders trying to steal the energy for themselves. Gallery There are seven different types of Whims to collect, each with six different color variants. The power each Whim gives the player will depend on its color, with powers including increased speed, increased strength, high jumping ability, longer jumping ability, and more. Players will be able to mix and match powers, including swapping Whims on the fly, during a match as well.Continue Reading at GameSpot
