as funny as this is, the PC asks the first couple of NPC’s we meet about “paleblood”, and then we see the big moon later with a note outright saying it’s the paleblood, and then we commune with a moon entity at the end of the game

apparently the pc (silently?) inquires about paleblood to the first couple of npc’s we meet, namely the blood minister we see in the intro cutscene and the guy in the window in central yharnam. everything points to the paleblood being the moon based on later messages. and hence the moon presence

on the other hand perhaps if they think attacking trans ppl isn’t working well enough for culture war bullshit, they will actually start to campaign on destroying obergefell

video games are all about meeting a little elf

finding yourself fifteen years later saying "ah... the

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

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

One of my funniest moments in Abiotic Factor has been when we went to an extremely cold zone and I kept drinking coffee to get a cold resistance buff, but right before a major point in the story my character had to shit so I had to teleport all the way back to base to use the toilet

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally

Solar and wind power aren’t just keeping up with global electricity demand anymore – they’re pulling ahead. According to a new analysis from energy think tank Ember, solar and wind combined outpaced global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025.
