Hi, I'm Fabri. I'm an English teacher currently working in Germany. I'm married in all but legally-binding paper to the wonderful @narathebard.bsky.social. I like reading and playing most things fantasy, sci-fi and horror, and occasionally I write.

Execs always claim bloated budgets increase retail prices. This is a lie.
They will always increase prices to whatever they think they can get away with. Always have, always will. AI is merely a new get-richer-quicker scheme.
And execs will never admit the most bloated costs… are themselves.

- AI is used to offload the "tedious" work so devs can focus on the artistic side of things
- AI will make games cheaper to and faster to produce
Still a $70 game btw...

I guess my most woke opinion is that the concept of "earning your living" is outdated to the point of being inhumane. The way technological progress is going, we will either accept that we should provide decent living for everyone for the good of all society, or continually descend into nightmare.

Mucho streaming, pagos, plataformas y demas pero NO tenemos NADA con tanto servicio, es lo que quieren, que paguemos pero no poseamos.
Por eso los fansubs de anime, así como las descargas son algo MUY importante que no hay que dejar de lado para preservar contenido y cultura.

Did not expect to wake up and find Critical Role still live-streaming. I think the last time it happened was... during the final fight all the way back in Campaign 1? That sounds about right.

So... I think playing XIV on the Rog is going to be more feasible than I thought, so long as I don't play a healer xD
Which is fine. With 7.4 I'll be able to keep my main glamour anyway, so I can go as tank or dps and still be Mana.

One of the many reasons we have to fight the rise of the far right is the risk they pose to undoing the progress we *have* made.
Lot of people are already passing this around with the usual "WHY ISN'T ANYONE DOING ANYTHING" shrieks, while ignoring the fact that the article literally says that this is a *significant* decrease from the warming that we were on track for even a few years ago.
World still on track for catastrophic 2.6C temperature rise, report finds
Fossil fuel emissions have hit a record high while many nations have done too little to avert deadly global heating

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

An unexpected side-effect of having spent a month suffering hospital food is that I'm hungry all the time.
It's honestly the thing I'm looking forward to the least of when the treatments for the Symbiote start in earnest, going back for a week at a time xD

I kinda want to read a manga about exploring a world. Something chill, like the early chapters of Frieren, before the plot reared its head.

And the Witchblade reboot continues to be amazing. It's taking all the ideas and characters the OG run introduced and dropped in the opening arcs and developing them in new and incredible ways. Love it.

When the Game Awards go on this year can we like... shoutout the actual devs and composers for categories like art direction, design, audio etc. Instead of acting like a studio name makes the games.

I find myself rethinking the ancestries in Calanthe, maybe try to distance myself a bit from Classical Fantasy and try to go for a more weird feeling.
