Ubisoft: "Okay, so in this game you fight the Klan"
Marketers: "You can't sell that in America"
Ubisoft: "Why?"
Marketers: "Umm [gestures broadly]. The Klan fucking won?"
Ubisoft: "Merde."
Marketers: "Yeah, we've asked for the Statue back but they're being dicks about that too."

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

Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

Welcome to my Event Horizon Party. The bloodbath spinny thing is in the backroom. Just sit back, strip off some flesh. Enjoy yourself. I’m not sure if we’re coming are going, but that’s kind of the point.

Ah, I have discovered The current House In The Ocean isn't the same as the one I originally watched! Nevertheless!

I recommend starting with the monument mythos playlist. If you want a singular video to get a good taste The House In The Ocean is how I got introduced to his work

THANK YOU 🤣 this is the balm my soul needs after witnessing the horrors of those "octopus skeletons" in Halloween stores...

A sketch of an octopus with an inset photo of an octopus skeleton decoration. The octopus looks upset. It is surrounded by thoughts:
Help I'm full of bones how do you live like this
My eyes are stuck pointing in the same direction but frankly that's the least of my worries
I can't squeeze my mantle for jet propulsion :(
This body only had one shape!!
My arms are stuffed with muscles to move all these bones
Do I have suckers? I don't even care

Getting The Killer as my horror movie role makes me miss one of my best roleplaying characters, a mad scientist who was only not a serial killer because she made sure to keep all her victims' heads alive and aware after taking the rest of them apart :) she was very bubbly and fun

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

Don't worry about it 🙂👍

My Horror Movie Role is The Killer-- but it's crossed out in a very obvious way and badly written underneath is " totally normal"

I mean, don't worry about it. It's fine. Hey, let's hang out tonight!

Got a recent Pulitzer for warning on the spread of autocracy around the globe, after decades of service to the paper? You can bet your butt you're getting laid off by form email, on Yom Kippur

Dave Jorgenson @davejorgenson.bsky.social · 16h

The Post laid off seemingly the remaining of their liberal-leaning staff members on Opinion last Thursday, when some of them were observing Yom Kippur.

sometimes I think about books and readers etc in terms ice creams and it makes me feel less anxious about it all 🥹:

some like strawberry ice cream, some like chocolate, some are lactose intolerant and enjoy sorbets instead, and some perhaps don’t like the cold at all

Good news: I've never heard this version in my life here in Cana-day (a Canadian placenames version of This Land Is Your Land, the far superior song, was popular here as a school choir song when I was a kid)

There is something appropriate about him recommending a man who is ostensibly very patriotic and loves America more than anyplace else but then also made the same patriotic song for Canada because he could make additional money if he said he loved Canada and that Canada is the best

Other notable versions
Canadian version
In 1989, Greenwood released a Canadian version of this song called "God Bless You, Canada".
