I just noticed that Jimmy And The Pulsating Mass - one of the best indie JRPGs I've ever played - is JUST shy of 500 reviews and the Overwhelmingly Positive rating.

We should make that happen. One of the best Earthbound-inspired games I've played while having its own, very strong identity.

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

some day someone with both big money and creative control is going to finally yank the mass effect dating sim genre up by the roots and figure out how to replant their audience somewhere they can scope more reasonably - like a AAA visual novel, or a fighting game or something, and make SO much money

Coming in hot with a take that critics are calling "pedantic," "exhausting," and "overwrought."

I do think I'm right about this though lol

Hades II demeans the mystery and grandeur of myth through its shallow writing and unserious tone, writes @gracemachine.bsky.social. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

Hades II's Ill-Defined, Unserious World Undermines the Depth and Power of Mythology

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 1d

I donated some copies of Let This Radicalize You for distribution at an ICE watch training for folks who want to join school patrols in a nearby neighborhood. Not everyone got a copy, because 120 people showed up for that training tonight. I am endlessly proud of Chicago.

A display of copies of Let This Radicalize You on a table in front of a sign that reads: "Let This Radicalize You offers stories, strategy and heart for the kind of collective care and resistance we're building together today. It helps us move from reacting to organizing. Showing how ordinary people protect each other, build power, and keep hope alive. Take a copy. Read it. Stay connected."

yeah in general we just used to have stores naively surface whatever was getting real attention or maintained a staff to curate and write about interesting niche finds people might be interested in, and we lost all of that to sales divisions just selling those spaces to the highest bidder lol
