Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

Really proud of this episode, especially our segment on Danny Brown where we felt we were able to uplift his two most recent albums, that we felt didn’t get enough love
The season finale is here! We talk new Danny Brown & Pupil Slicer, Supernatural, and Deathpile!

Turning Point starting this whole Fullnecky debacle on the afternoon of Thanksgiving is obviously meant to be provocative and is straight up evil, but is also hilariously pathetic.

I wrote about THE RUNNING MAN, a disappointing entry from Edgar Wright that channels inklings of his old hyperactivity, but ultimately feels like a limp call for revolution or even good entertainment.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.
