Okay, time to finally make an intro post. I’m Jeff, originally from South Jersey but now living in Japan’s countryside. Expect sporadic posts about video games and Philly sports, but not so much about game localization! I like to leave work at work. Never mind the home office behind the curtain!

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Me to Reb earlier today: The scene with James and the girls recording a song is the worst scene in the series.
James, somewhere, ethereally: You haven’t seen anything yet.

The above post kinda popped off so I'm not sure I can delete it now BUT... Look, I'm never the kind to us-vs-them my fellow writers. If you're a WGA member reading this, I urge you to talk to your leadership about this - it's a solidarity issue. Game writers deserve a permanent seat at the table.

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

This is an important lesson for organizing against them though.
There is no incentive to lie when confronting these assholes. Team up.
Exploit their numerous weaknesses.
You're not in competition with each other. Not even for posting. You already post better than they ever could.

There are a lot of reasons to like sports, but the thing that draws me in is the opportunity to watch Things Not Go The Way They Are Supposed To.
It’s the thing that ties together underdog stories and impossible endings and dominant runs by superhuman athletes, this destruction of sensibility.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.
