I think one of the underrated appeals of #Dispatch is Robert Robertson is as close to the adult Peter Parker as we've had since Peter B. Parker from the Spider-verse films. He's incredibly good hearted, a hard luck case, and yet has incredible Rizz with the ladies. #videogames #Spiderman

The problem with this is that people misunderstand the Trolley Problem. It is not about finding the right answer. It is about asking how you view the world. Objecting to the premise is a valid answer. Getting angry the premise exists makes you silly. #ethics #philosophy

A reminder that Ian Fleming killed James Bond twice in the books with both deaths intending to be permanent. Horowitz should remember he retconned the poison shoe and Bond wandering amnesiac into the Kremlin. #JamesBond #AnthonyHorowitz #Bond

To teach through a story is to present the situation and let readers draw their own conclusions. Never try and lecture because if the evidence is there, they will draw the correct one or they never would agree with the message in the first place. See Tolkien and the Ring. #writing #writingcommunity

Also, #ArsMagica taught me not to be an islamophobic asshole. So much so that, especially for a non-religious person, I've gotten a lot of mileage out of the "greater jihad" idea🤓😅

Robert E. Howard's Conan gets a lot of flack from people who think its xenophobic but the big difference is that Conan is a well-traveled explorer who enjoys all the various cultures of world (admittedly while drinking and killing). #fantasy #SwordAndSorcery #grimdark #writingcommunity

D&D introduced me to massive amounts of history and multiculturalism with Forgotten Realms, Al-Qadim, Maztica, and Kara-Tur. Vampire: The Masquerade showed me LGBTA, counter culture, and Goth anarchism. - When people argue about "woke" in gaming. #tabletopgames #RPGs #DND #vamily

I just want this character as a ghoul. Is that wrong? I mean, yes, objectively making people ghouls is evil but it's no more wrong than general vampire behavior! Give me Verona! And a clean haven! @chinesegon.bsky.social #bloodlines2 #vamily @outstar.bsky.social

My opinion of Democrats now.
VAMPIRES AND MIRRORS: The lack of a reflection might be old mirrors being silver backed but another was that in some folklore #vampires aren't actually solid at all. These #undead are physical ghosts. Their spirits return to their bodies during the day as opposed to their corpses walking around.

Thanks, I can see that. Fabien’s story lands harder, but we’re passive observers, while Phyre’s we actually live. Love the counter-intuitivism of show-vs-tell, even when one’s objectively better lol.

I listed the five things that @thechineseroom.co.uk needed to add for the game to go up a point on my ratings.
1. More save slots
2. The ability to clean your haven
3. Fast travel or a skip for Fabien's sections
4. The ability to take Verona as a ghoul
5. More sidequests
Maybe stealth lock breaks.

Great article. I feel like there's a fantastic story with Fabien but it's also a very linear one that means Phyre is the more enjoyable character because for all of its issues, you are at least in control. As a neurodivergent gamer, I felt more for Phyre's inability to relate to Safia's empathy.

So far, this…doesn't feel like them? I'm hopeful it improves, but for right now… is this Addams family without the family?

I so want to see some competitor come out with an ad spot featuring Wednesday Adams and a manager telling her to smile...
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
