LIFE IS STRANGE, and the case for resurrecting Chloe Price
Ten years after the original Life is Strange game, a fan suggests another superhero trope the series could utilize.

New piece from me marking a decade since the ending of the original #LifeisStrange, and a year since Double Exposure's release, by asking: what if there was a way to bring back Chloe in everyone's playthroughs? www.comicsbeat.com/lis-resurrec...

This is always funny (not funny) when you remember how similar Muslim and Christian beliefs about Jesus are, aside from the big exception of the crucifixion.
Christians have always proclaimed Christ's birth as the moment when God’s light, love, and hope came into being in human flesh. There is no Christmas without Christ, it doesn't need adding in, rather it needs to be made real in people's lives.

As some of you are aware, part of Dragon Age day was to thank the DA Devs for all the hard work they put into the series we love so much.
This is also the first DA Day where we have no DA team, as they were laid off earlier this year.
So let's make an effort to support their new projects!🧵

Tell that to the heartbroken daughter of a friend who’s quit guides because of this shameful move, Joanne. She can’t bear to see trans girls excluded.
Your Harry Potter money funds this shit. Don’t buy in.

But what if the "thing of their own" is a friendship with a girl in Guides who happens to be trans?
I honestly think Rowling has lost touch with how real people's lives actually work.
And, also, Rowling's movement is gearing up to get girls kicked out of Scouts, so this "answer" is horseshit.

Very, very curious casting. I'm betting she'll play a villain given how long she played Black Widow for, which raises more questions about how the film would portray Hush or the Court of Owls (assuming they're in it). deadline.com/2025/12/scar...

I got offered a LOT of money to host an official HP podcast and turned it down immediately. I’m assuming since I am not a podcaster that they have an extremely long list of people who have also said no to this. Dunno what‘s going on with the actors but the comics are holding the line lol
Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

Apparently every Chinese academic in any field of “interest” to the PLA is getting their visa rejected for, more or less, presumptively being a spy. My friend’s visa is denied because she studies “neuroscience.” What she actually studies is jaw pain - but ICE is flatly rejecting all appeals.
Just got the word that the Trump administration is throwing a brilliant medical researcher friend of mine out of the country because they’re Chinese. Insane and unreal. Literally doing research in the US to help the US
