Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:
"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

While I don’t ride or die for Pete Buttigieg, the vitriol directed at him is completely insane.
“When I was younger I wished that I could have taken a pill to turn me straight; but I have accepted and embraced my identity now” is an *extremely* common sentiment from Millennial and older gay people!

When Pete Buttigieg says he would take medicine that makes gay men straight. What do you think is Mr. Buttigieg's attitude towards gays, men and medicine?

I feel like there is this recurring thing in internet responses to fiction where anything non-utopian in the worldbuilding is treated as a flaw in the writing rather than the society.
It goes all the way back to “why don’t the characters liberate the droids” which is just as effectively answered with “well why WOULD the characters liberate the droids?”
Not all storytelling is like…utopian humanist worldbuilding.

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM.
DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.
Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this.
Stay safe!

You have been granted one (1) minor boon from Yoshi-P: you can add, subtract, or change something about FFXIV in a *minor* way, no restructuring entire systems or expac stories, nothing that changes the course of the narrative. What do you choose?

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

bsky’s new moderation labels on top of their already ridiculous labels like…I’m 34.
“This post is labeled as Rude”
I’m 34.
“Well it’s for young - “
Anyone who needs a “rude” label on mean words is too young to be online unsupervised.

Game publisher execs are about two more fads away from putting all their faith in literal magic beans.
They went all-in on services, all-in on NFTs, all-in on AI. Every time they’re convinced they’ve invested in a divine cure-all.
They believe in magic the way a child might. Except kids learn.

#FFXIV Fun Raid Fact: Sprint used to lock melees jobs out of their weaponskills by draining TP (Tactical Points) completely.
Sprint stopped using TP at the start of Stormblood, and the TP system was removed entirely with the release of Shadowbringers.
