Thx. Got one. Will cancel if I can guarantee myself one at a LGS but I feel better w/ it ordered.

I swear I better be able to buy this

I feel like the fun way of this would be limiting to blocks or like storylines (sets involving the brothers war only or Gerrard/weatherlight adjacent only.) but that’s achieving something very different

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.

Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.

"The project—[Weiss'] and that of her backers—is to establish herself and her cohort not as new-right media, but as the new *liberal*media, staking out the leftmost acceptable position within the new right-wing paradigm." The dream of Marty Peretz on far grander scale.

Paying $150 million for Bari Weiss’s Geocities page is like paying $100k for an Arby’s 5 for 5, except that Arby’s probably has more journalistic chops

Apple and Google think caving to authoritarian censorship is best for their bottom line. It’s on us to show these cowards that there’s a price to sacrificing our First Amendment rights at the altar of corporate profit.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the atonement that will be required of us?

Aura Bogado @aurabogado.bsky.social · 9d

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

Really intrigued if there was a way to directly compare it to a show floor situation

There’s a lot of demos that hit real different in my basement than when I’m on a loud floor

Son of a Son of a Submariner @tinderboxjubilee.bsky.social · 9d

(This all circles back to why I think the roving aqualounge demo is such a cool idea and I hope to be at an event you run it at someday!!)

Something else intriguing about games is friends lists let you see that your friends actually like playing COD for 4 hours every night even if they might have talked to you excitedly about something else they may buy and finish and never touch again. So even a recommendation may not be enough

I’m really glad to see anyone say this because yeah as a fan I used to look forward to it but there’s just way way way way too much every time. It’s to the point I don’t understand why anyone bothers being 1 of 1000 games there.
