I am fascinated by how ubi has welded the aesthetics of politics in its games and marketing for decades, but always been profoundly cowardly about engaging with them. Political aspartame.

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

Ignore the fact that this is about a pro wrestling show. Everyone should let them know that airing ICE commercials is unacceptable AT ALL.

Please take a moment to submit feedback to these networks and let them know that.

People talk about how you have to play and beat Nier Automata multiple times to get the full story but you don't. That's a formalism. The game has distinct chapters and uses the "ending credits" as chapter breaks. The game you're thinking of is Nier Replicant. That's the sicko shit.

wrote up a spoiler-free story completion guide for Silent Hill F because I saw people saying they played 1 route and then watched the other endings on youtube, lol you miss a metric shit-ton of the story if you do that because theres so much other stuff

Silent Hill F completion guide Disclaimer this is just rough and based on personal experience could be wrong about some things

I have indeed been asked before why I don't get into Uma or anything like it.

This.
This is it.

I've learned my lesson with Love Live and the fact that I see people happily delving RIGHT INTO IT w/ no second thought is going to send me to the grave early skjdhfjksdhskdfj

Screengrab of a tumblr post from user @crimsonender that says:
"The problem isn't the over-designed twinks or the silly horse girls or the goofy cookies its the gambling. You guys know its the gambling right? I need you all to know the problem with gatcha games is that they're just normalizing gambling addictions to younger generations."

There's a pause for some tags. Saying: "#yeah if you play gacha games you have to be as strict about it as you would be with poker/blackjack/anything you'd play at a casino #bc it is in fact gambling"

They respond back:
"Tes! This!! The big grift of gacha games is that they've convinced people they are gambling or contributing to the machine of gambling! It's a free world and we all have our vices im not going to blow you up for playing poker at a casino or smashing your yuri cookies together but you absolutely need to treat both the same way."

to be clear i dont think this is too violent i think if we all accept that we're able to handle this, which we clearly can, we can obviously also handle art where gay furries are getting naked and so forth

Ok it is a little bit surprising how many Catholic-core Metroidvanias there are lol

Like not just about “cool cathedral aesthetics” but specifically games in this genre themed around faith, idolatry, penance, hierarchic abuse, etc.

Each passport app costs 170 USD.

There are no financial programs to assist with these costs.

We only need to fund a few more!

winter @gapmoe.me · 19d

Due to the ever growing anti-trans campaign being fabricated by this admin, I am seeking donations to assist my community w/ passport apps and related fees to prep for a worst case scenario.

Please DM me or reach out privately if you wish to assist. My own income can only support so many. Thanks.

"We're going to have to learn to live with [radical right wing demagoguery with all its associated violence]" is:

- An abdication of responsibility.

- An abandonment of hope.

- A position only available to those who feel safe enough with an ongoing catastrophe to begin the work of normalizing it

"Much of what I would describe as Kirk's worst moments were now just standard fair MAGA Republicanism. And the leader of MAGA Republicanism is the President of the United States...we are going to have to live here with each other believing what we believe. Disagreeing in the ways we disagree."

coates is genuinely a generational writer

What are we to make of a man who called for the execution of the American president, and then was executed himself? What are we to make of an NFL that, on one hand, encourages us to "End Racism," and, on the other, urges us to commemorate an unreconstructed white supremacist? And what of the writers, the thinkers, and the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk's death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don't know. But the most
telling detail in Klein's column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself.
