The Talisman update to Monster Hunter Wilds did wonders for this game’s meta, been having a lot of fun grinding out 9* with HBG.

But

What if I went and played Adept Hammer in MHGU again for the millionth time? 🤤

American owned paper in Canada presents us the "spokesman" to break up our country.
Tadda: he's a former US marine.
They can't even find a real Canadian to be MAGA's quisling puppet.
Piss off back to the States dude and take your marine oath of loyalty with you.

Anyone doing Vancouver Fan Expo next year? I’ve never attended and I’m unsure how their gaming area looks, might check it for FTK2 presence?

Now that Steam are selling Hardware alongside the games, I assume we'll see a reduction in the rate that Steam takes from Devs, given that software is what's moving their games console.

Surrounding nations, prepare for some sort of attack on your sovereignty today as America will need a distraction.

Popping this on a retweet; quick and good response to my ramblings so I appreciate that a lot!
Additionally, we will amend the form to clarify exactly what we mean by this as to not facilitate any misunderstandings. Community management workers are a valued part of the fabric and backbone of this industry, and we never want to imply otherwise.

Sorry, I have a “I’m the friend who is too woke” opinion on this.

Worst Community Management is not like the others and points fingers at specific non-managerial members of the industry and puts that alongside unethical micro transactions and lay offs.

In my eyes, feeds a bad narrative.

I know people think Musk only bought Twitter to help the rise of fascism.

While that’s important, I still think it’s secondary to his primary goal, which was to own the place where his fans praise him.

With AI, Musk’s use of the platform for love and validation is only getting more transparent.

Yea, the biggest gaming launch of all time has 30+ people leaking information and none of us are yet to see those leaks.

Be so fucking real lmao
NEW: Rockstar Games says the 30+ employees it fired last week were leaking confidential information, disputing allegations that the company is union-busting.

The union says it was a private chat with labor organizers. This messy battle isn't over yet. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It is important to note that Jewish voters were Mamdani's second best demographic. They came out for him overwhelmingly. The Zionist propagandists are not nearly as dominant, prevalent, or representative as they're treated. They're just inordinately boosted individuals.
The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to
