Guys! I have the hottest of hot video game takes for you.

Don't listen to hot takes.

Don't listen to fan bases.

Don't listen to "fanboys/girls".

Don't listen to critics.

Don't listen to the internet.

Find games you enjoy. Play them how you want. Video games are supposed to be fun.

This isn’t the most eloquent way to express it, but thank fuck for the arts

Thank fuck for books
Thank fuck for drawing and painting
Thank fuck for movies
Thank fuck for video games

Thank fuck for all the creatives out there who will help us cope the next 4 years whether by escapism or a rally cry

it's a little disheartening seeing how story-centric games struggle to gain footing in a market hyper-focused on high replayability

Hey #Booksky if you’re in the US and looking to step away from the zon for physical books can I highly recommend Thrift Books?

They donate and partner with non-profits to support school libraries in underserved areas, and prison libraries. Plus, the book prices are *very good*

Do you like hurricane and tornado warnings? Do you not want them privatized and edited by Trump's sharpie? Well, Musk is breaching NOAA, an agency that's trustworthiness is more critical than ever before: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

we wouldn't need "fast travel" if our game studios invested in accessible and affordable public transport infrastructure. skyrim should have a tram network. assassin's creed should have several regular bus routes. give ghost of tsushima a metro

Instead of recommending that recently laid off BioWare devs risk everything to start their own studios (lol like it's so easy?)

You could take a bit of that energy and buy games from some that already did ☺️

Eternal Strands just launched this week and I'm pretty sure Stray Gods is on sale!

Bioware and EA's Mass Effect 5 not requiring "Full Studio Support".....
Clearly, It's not requiring my financial support either...

I find it kind of amusing that Bluesky's trending list includes a label for "EA Criticism" -- when, in truth, it's an incredible amount of people (including myself) all yelling "FUCK EA".

I suppose "criticism" is one way to summarize it.

Oh, also: Fuck EA.
I hold adamant, never-ending grudges.

I'm trying really hard not to say a lot of colorful angry words directed at a company that has laid off some of it's best developers that helped shape their studio. Laying off devs without even owning up to it in your announcement is bullshit. I don't know, I'm just so mad.

Being an adult gamer is just having an endless catalog of new games to play, but playing that one game you've already played a dozen times instead 😭

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”

If BioWare can’t be bothered to value their writers, artists, editors, etc. I can’t be bothered to purchase anymore games.
hmm Mass Effect 5 everyday seems more like I wont be playing it and i think all of the ME and DA players should consider the same, if they care about BW and the artists behind the studio

Damn, I'm angry about the most recent round of Bioware layoffs. I was angry anyway, but dammit!

I got a lot of feelings about it. Let me be straight up, if I see people celebrating anyone losing their job; in this economy? You can catch a block real fast.

EA and BioWare execs forced these dragon age devs through the Veilguard release cycle, didn’t support them whatsoever when they were being threatened and harassed online, and then fired them all without even the decency of calling it what it is. That’s some shit behavior.

Layoffs always suck but to see people I’ve looked up to for years - who wrote, animated, edited, and brought to life so many stories and characters I love - hurts.

BioWare devs, thank you for bringing wonder, compassion, intrigue, and magic to millions of fans, me included. We’re all in your corner
