Hey Absolum absolutely whips and you should not sleep on it. Roguelikes are usually harder sells for me because I don't like banging my head against a wall until it breaks, but this one's fantasy beat-em-up dressings got its hooks in me.

A federal judge has dismissed Drake’s defamation lawsuit against UMG over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

look why did bluesky get twitter’s “people who don’t read past the headline then react to what they think the article says” but not all the incredible artists who just post their art, constantly go viral, and literally never say a word? we can’t get all the bad and not all the good, smh

it’s a real shame that the obsession with “canon” and wikipedia-ification of fiction has people playing choice-based games like they’re a problem to be solved rather than a series of choices you have to stand by.
