I love the take that del Toro’s Frankenstein doesn’t pass the bechdel test so much because neither does the book and all I can think about is trying to explain to Mary Shelley that she’s not a good feminist because her book published in 1818 has too many men in it

So, some initial thoughts on #FinalFantasyTactics after completing "Golgorand Execution Site" mission.
Okay, so magic is so unbelievably OP and is basically a 1hit KO at this point in the game and running with two Wizards/Summoners has trivialized every battle so far. #retrogaming #ps1

Today feels like a good a time as any to remind you all of 2 of the best Rpg games ever made. These games were so good that Bethesda decided to retcon everything and create Rpg sequels so mild the Americans take on cheese (and mustard) is jealous. Please play them

2025 and we're romanticizing the USSR and communism.
Like, I'm sorry. Communism is stupid, it's just state sponsored capitalism. And yeah, capitalism isn't greatand all but like... We have capitalist societies that aren't rife with inequality and focused solely on wealth extraction.

Modern smart tv's have like 700 features, so why isn't a fucking scanline filter one of them for playing old games made with CRTs in mind.
I bet if somebody did that, people would go bonkers for it.

Here there be monsters...
Doug Ford is trying to pass a bill which would allow landlords to arbitrarily end lease agreements due to “personal needs, business strategies, or market conditions.” How about the “personal needs” of tenants to remain housed in an already hellish rental market? This is terrifying. #ONpoli #housing
Ontario bill would look at ‘alternative options’ for ending residential leases, scrap Toronto green roof bylaw. Here are the highlights
The Ford government has tabled an omnibus bill that would make changes to a whole suite of laws and regulations, from green roofs to tenant evictions and driver’s licences.
