Video Game Critic with wrong opinions that are sometimes good.
Slavery was so fucking bad that after the civil war they effectively made it worse in many ways i.e. convict leasing and so not only was this country built by slaves but it was rebuilt by them.
People do not really understand just how far it goes.

I genuinely thought this was a satirical post but upon learning this is a real quote about a real guy I don’t even know why I’m shocked but I am.
RGG Studio not only cast Kagawa despite his actions, they are specifically taking advantage of his image as a creep to sell the role.
Guess that’s that. #REMOVEKAGAWA

![A shot of Teruyuki Kagawa as Goh Hamazaki in Yakuza Kiwami 3 with his face mosaic blurred out, accompanied by an excerpt from a GAME Watch interview with Ryosuke Horii on 2026-02-05:
Horii: “Rikiya and Hamazaki are both key characters to the story, so it would certainly be safer not to recast them and avoid online criticism (laughs). But we felt there was no use being afraid. We based our decision on what excited us and made us think, ‘This is who we want to perform,’ or ‘What if we cast this person?’ […] Hamazaki is a sleazy, persistent, and militant yakuza, right? Since he isn’t an explosive character like Kanda, when we tried to think of someone who makes you go, ‘This guy’s a creep,’ naturally it was Kagawa-san. The biggest thing was just had to see that. Kagawa-san’s acting is fun to watch. Even when he’s chopping a pig’s feet off with a chef’s knife, it has a slimy feel.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:miwrulrgrudgnchcqgcpxgth/bafkreianho4oe2hx4rmjbrd65x22prtp53ol6fm5ljlqdnjmxkjx2bnpme@jpeg)

Hockey is my favorite sport yet is still stuck in 300 BC it’s so fucking disgusting.
USA Hockey has implemented a trans sports ban that applies to recreational "beer leagues." This isn't about fairness, it's about pushing trans people out of society.

Tillian. And then DGD did the most DGD thing and replaced their vocalist for the 4th time.
Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

I’d argue critics in general are too positive and charitable considering you can look up practically any big release on metacritic and see approximately 0 negative reviews.

Being annoyed with secure boot requirements is extremely valid considering there never seems to be any accurate documentation for your BIOS and MOBO and what you have to do to make it happen without potentially fucking your computer into a state of uselessness.

Incredibly based.
More than 20 years ago, Parenti wrote on how fascism could easily take hold in the US. A warning not to be complacent.

Maybe I should just move to New York idk.
"I can think of no better excuse for New Yorkers to stay home, take a long nap, or take advantage of our public libraries offer of free access to 'Heated Rivalry' on eBook or audio book for anyone with a library card."

Tyranny is brittle
I've covered ICE / DHS for about a decade now and more ICE agents are willing to talk now than ever before. The confidence the administration is trying to project is absolutely not reflected internally.

Fuck yes.
At a rally in Union Square right now, Council member @chiosse.bsky.social tells the crowd, “We certainly need to abolish ICE, but that’s not enough—we need Nuremberg trials.”

Fuck yes.
We just wanted to be left alone. We didn’t ask for this. We didn’t want this. We wanted to live our lives in peace.
Yet here we are. Trauma after trauma after trauma. This is what our lives will be.
We are tired. But not exhausted.

It’s so difficult to accurately articulate the anger I feel towards these outside forces that have come into my community and what they’re doing to my incredible state and its amazing people, as well as the rage I feel towards Democratic leadership for providing those people next to no backup.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
