Okay sorry I just want to say that it's a pretty clear sign both of how devastated the media landscape is and how hard it has especially hit women that we are not INUNDATED with cool writing at every single outlet about Silksong and WOMEN

Finished @kateelliottsff.bsky.social's Witch Roads duology (the second book just came out) and loved it so so much. Great worldbuilding and fun character voices in a story with some amazing relationship dynamics.

THE WITCH ROADS is the first one, if anyone is looking for a fun read.

Holy smokes.
Well, it's time I share some exciting news! I am going to be starting a new adventure and, after nearly 14 years, I'll be leaving Wizards. Tomorrow will be my last day.

I've written something up on my blog (and screen capped it on this post): www.trickjarrett.com/sharing-some...

Gonna have to change his name to Elon Husk after that burn.
Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

Dems need a MAGA-style takeover by young social democrats and democratic socialists.
Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

The power of mu! There's an obscure bit of Chrono Trigger lore involving Masa & Mune's big sister, Doreen, that actually helps make sense of a random hanging thread in Super Mario Bros. 2. This one got super weird!

Here's a feature from my time interviewing the team behind Dragon Quest VII Reimagined about how it's streamlining the main scenario.

I'm personally very excited to experience this story in less than 100 hours of gameplay, doubly so after learning the philosophy behind making it possible. More ⬇️

WE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE

This has consumed around 4 months of my life. We've rebuilt the business from the ground-up. New site, new backend, new customer experience, new platform, new everything.

we spent two years flailing, having no idea how to run a business. now...we have more of an idea.

Kim Davis has a humiliation fetish matched only by Andrew Cuomo.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

Last call - we are only short on N64, GBA, and MD/Genesis.
I just want to put this out into the universe.

If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.
This is a very impressive PS1 game by @eliasdaler.bsky.social running on SuperStation.
