Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!
And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈

Lotta furries hating on this cuz it's "Gen AI slop"
It's not; everything you see is NOT generative AI. They've disclosed that the reason they tagged themselves with AI is because the game allows user content creation tools that involve AI
Feel free to keep hating, just be correct with your hate

The SkyTrain is so infuriating because it has so much potential to be great and yet it sucks.
I live right next to a SkyTrain station and yet I drive my car ALWAYS instead of using it, for the simple fact that it's NEVER the better option.

Ditch Spotify! It's better than you think! I took the money I spent monthly on Spotify and I just buy albums I like every month now :)
Apps like Symfonium on Android are also super great experiences for offline music listening (Or streaming if you set up a home server!)

Guys guys guys! I'm moving in a couple weeks; I just found a super cool CAT BOOKSTORE, right next to my new place!
A small, independent bookstore, that also has cat adoptions and those that are comfortable with it, can run around in the store?!!! It's amazing
I will return with pics when I move 👀

the thing about Nichols's argument is that he (like many conservatives in polisci) conflates Fascism and Totalitarianism as tho they were synonyms rather than two distinct phenomena that sometimes converge in a single state.
there are two issues here:

I occasionally get asked by people (usually boomers or cryptobros) why would I ever want to leave the U.S. and come to Canada... It's because I work in healthcare. I felt so guilty and awful about working in the American medical system, that I physically would get ill
American healthcare fucks everyone except insurance companies. Hospitals, healthcare providers, and patients alike

From my time working with American healthcare; these are pretty typical numbers.
One of many problems I've noticed is that insurances will often say they'll pay a percentage of what is charged; so naturally, hospitals then have to charge insane amounts to get any amount of money.

so, today I got the surgery center where I got my deviated septum fixed to send me an itemized bill so I could submit to my FSA for reimbursement
my out of pocket cost: $473
what my insurance paid: $4258
what they tried to charge my insurance (not a misprint): $173692

I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

This is why I always try to compliment people on their 'skill' instead of their 'talent'. While they may have had some talent at some point; it always takes time and effort to evolve that into a skill :)
