and a worker tier whose emails are like:

Excited to announce that I have just bought Ubisoft.
Ubisoft just postponed its earnings report and halted the trading of its shares. Unclear why at this point but could indicate a major announcement related to the company.

At some point, Horizon has to be a thought experiment made manifest of how to fatigue people of a generally pretty good property as fast as possible.
Just to clear up some confusion I've seen, the newly announced NCSoft Horizon MMO is different from the multiplayer Horizon game that's in development at Guerrilla Games. That one is Guerrilla's next big project

I really do think, at the end of the day, all this whole thing will expose is that a large amount of Americans are perfectly okay with pedophilia as long as their guy is the one doing it.

At this point the only thing that keeps me from knowing for sure that Trump ran Epstein's trafficking ring is the fact that it was successful.

I will be in L.A. adjacent to The Game Awards (for different reasons). Do you want to show me your game for coverage on Restart? Or just for the hell of it? Got a preview event? A mixer? A spare hour with nothing to do?
Let me know and we can figure something out!

I think the important lesson to take from the Tea Party/MAGA over the last two decades is that it makes more sense to take over a political party than it does to split off and create a new one.
Threaten to primary every Democratic seat you can and then follow through.

I’m rewatching Psych and it’s fascinating how weird the early-2000s were about masculinity and manhood. Shawn’s sometimes kind of a jerk about anything he thinks is unmanly! It’s played for laughs whenever Shawn’s dad does anything like cooks or bathes.

So it has been one year since I had a stroke, a thing that almost killed me and landed me in the hospital for nearly a month.
I opened this thinking I’d have a lot to say about it and I don’t, really. Don’t ignore health issues even if they seem minor.

Other countries looking at Hyrule: Sir, Hyrule has been rebooted again.
Neighbor king: Again? Do they even have indoor plumbing this time?
Aide: No, they’ve developed tablets this time and also war machines but are still using internal batteries to power hydrants.
