New pinned post!

I put together a Linktree, linktr.ee/turboshawn, so people can easily find all my stuff in one, up-to-date place.

I'm also *finally* making use of my own domain: turboshawn.com now sends you there as well! 😊

A thumbnail of Shawn's Linktree, with links to Bluesky, Twitch, YouTube, and Ko-fi. It can be accessed via turboshawn.com!

HEY FOLKS!

Now I am back from Japan I wanted to do a proper *I'M LOOKING FOR WORK* post.

Reviews, previews, features, podcasts, on-camera stuff, online, in print... I can do it all! And have been doing it all for like six years!

If you have a beat on any opportunities, please let me know.

Absolutely fucking insane that we’re at the point of “Well, we can’t offend the Nazis!”

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

This is the exact controller I use every day. If you’re on PC, $10 (or even ~$20 for the other colors) is a steal!

very cool of destructoid to post this, and, lo and behold, if you ctrl+f "queer" or "lgbtqia+" you will find zero instances of it on the page.

Never mind his Wikipedia page, I just found out the OFFICIAL MODRETRO WEBSITE makes the connection between its' products and human suffering plain as day. There really are absolutely no excuses for people saying "I didn't know!"
