CANCEL your Fortnite subscriptions and DELETE the game from all your computers.
Choosing—and yes, it is a CHOICE— to license Harry Potter in 2025 sends a message: "We do not care about trans people."
No amount of Miku or trans-colored cosmetic items can make up for this.

Carimara was not just delightful but also very gay and shorter than a movie
Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with.
1. Carimara
Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

It needs to be treated as importantly as "no animals were harmed during the making of this film"
Because yeah, for a time? Animals got harmed and people accepted it as a part of the process. And it was wrong.
So is this, and it needs to stop.

Rockstar now claims it was, in fact, the leaking of “specific game features from upcoming and unannounced titles” that led to the firings.
We’re going to have to see the company prove this in an employment tribunal & more than that, it’ll need to prove it for all 31 fired employees in the UK too.

Rockstar has claimed the employees it recently fired were dismissed because they leaked game features for upcoming and unannounced titles in Discord, not because they were trying to unionize. https://bit.ly/48A0tTf

Vietnam also has tariffs similar to China as of today, which made the shift to Vietnam somewhat unneeded.

UPDATE: Blythe is now home and safe! Thank you all so, so deeply for saving his life.
As of now, we only have to worry about paying off a Care Credit line and other misc. costs (like gas for multiple vet trips, his pain meds, more food, etc).
Anything helps. Thank you!

The fact that we have super wealthy and extremely stupid people trying to set themselves up as new nobles has made historical nobility, which I only know from books, far more real to me. These people were not smart, they did not rule well, and rigid hierarchies of domination are very bad.

Taking the chance to say this game rules, I loved its choice based narrative management style and the pixel art.
Like, I just checked the Yes, Your Grace Steam page, and this is literally the latest review
Are we just ok with this sitting all over our Steam pages now?
