This game is my favorite ever made, and this article will give you a pretty good reason why (don't worry, it's not religious)
The Power of Prayer: 30 Years of Earthbound
Earthbound, which came out in Japan 30 years ago today, knows that personal connection is the most sacred thing.

“Where the left has gone wrong is that we no longer pledge fealty to mythical figures, put on masks, and go engage in direct action with theatrical elements at a scale that feels like war” going back through some old podcast episodes and @margaret.bsky.social was really cooking

Petting animals in Assassin's Creed Shadows unlocks them for your hideout, where you can place dozens of new friends.

Every final fantasy game is either Black Leather or Crystals

VIII? Black Leather. V? Crystals. Lightning Returns? Black Leather. IX? Crystals.

Despite the characters all wearing black leather, XV is Crystals

Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog).

This story is *the* story and it impacts everything else.

Trans folks are people, jabroni. These are our siblings, our peers, our families, our children. Humanism is, in fact, politically popular if you’re brave enough to make a case for it. Quit fucking around.

In this culture of rampant consumerism, the library is a bastion of counter culture. There one can check out things for free. Great books filled with profound ideas are all available for free.

Basically every Fromsoft game asks the question: is immortality a good thing?

And each answers: oh hell no, you absolutely do not want to be immortal. Knock it the fuck off, dude.

You are fantastic. You are a Halloween-themed breakfast cereal. You are Medusa's favorite hair-snake. You are a hatching moon. You are a Scholastic book fair for cryptids in an ancient forest.

I know a lot of us have doubts about whether we could organize a potluck or book club, nevermind a revolution.

So if you need to start with potlucks and book clubs, try that for starters.

The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.
