Of all the surprise announcements I was (half) expecting today, a brand new Stargate show in the SG-1 continuity from the original creators was definitely not it.
But I'll absolutely take it.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Silent Hill f is a visually stunning game, with some interesting themes hiding behind the 1960s rural Japan setting, marred by some questionable design choices and utterly dogshit combat that makes it one of the single most frustrating gaming experiences I've had in recent years.

Man, this feels like when Sonic Adventure DX came out on GameCube back in the day.
It's not surprising, given the direction that Xbox has taken over the last year or so, but it really feels they've stopped trying now.

This is why we were mad at people who bought the wizard game btw
If you love HP, that's fine. If you continue to buy HP products knowing that this hateful gremlin gets a cut and uses it to be a rich bigot, yeah. Not fine.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
