I'll say it: I would LOVE to play a game where I go after Klan members.

Still my theory that this is what happened to BioShock 4. It was delayed because of its story, and the only way I can imagine a studio executive making that move is if they think it'll get them in trouble with the administration because artists made something critical of fascism.

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

I can’t believe it’s been one year since I visited Kinda Funny for a week of gaming and chaos. It will forever be one of my favorite experiences with the absolute best people and best internet community. 1/2

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

Relationships are a two way street, you cant be the only one putting energy into the friendship. Its taken my years to get over lost friendships but Im not forcibly (school/work) around those people and as an adult, I get to choose who is worth my time.

Future Ruins @future-ruins.bsky.social · 5d

Unfortunately Future Ruins will not move forward this year. The reality is, due to a number of logistical challenges & complications, we feel we cannot provide the experience that’s defined what this event was always intended to be. Rather than compromise, we’re choosing to re-think and re-evaluate.
