I can only speak directly for my own social circle, but many of us enjoying it are doing so in GCs and only obliquely referencing listening to the album/watching the video publicly, because it’s straight up not worth the ratio of bad faith to good faith responses when discussing her

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

I was up super late last night playing super robot wars y, I thought I had reached the end… But there’s still more. I’m like 90 hours into this thing, and there’s at least one major character/unit that was in the trailers that I haven’t even seen yet… How much longer do I have to go?? 🤣

I can’t get enough of this song (I love the acoustic version, too)

I met my husband at a party in my early 20’s, but we reconnected a decade later on social media when I was posting through some things 🤩🤣

Although I am trying to be present there currently, a couple of years ago I had done a very basic post on what white people could do to combat a specific racist thing that was happening in the gaming space at the time, and a server mod chastised me for not putting it under a content warning 😭

Capt. Spike 2099 @spikepoint.bsky.social · 5d

Omg this is crazy, I literally just watched this a few hours ago for the first time in years 🤣

I really enjoy when multiple records I’m into come out on one day, so if I’m not feeling one, or maybe just need a little bit of a change of pace, I have something else to pop in that I’m excited about. This post brought to you by AFI lol

The direct result, for me, of the way that BS’s CEO is talking to *checks notes* marginalized users concerned about moderation policy surrounding a known abuser, is that I started posting to Mastodon again this morning.

Even if you don’t have to action it, plan an exit.

You could try a poster’s strike. I hear that works
