Steam sale is winding down! Eternal Strands is still on sale until it's over at 65% off. Romance, adventure, magically launching broken landscape at massive creatures, and one (1) overly complicated sock sorting system all included!

So proud of the workers refusing to return to work in the face of the government's orders. Liberals should side with labor instead of companies. A couple of moves like this and it'll be Justin Trudeau all over again, paving the way for conservatism to seem like the only option in the next election.

Great thread and extremely correct. Elite Impunity is the reason we’re all in this mess.
The West simply replaced the divine right of kings with the divine right of capital.
The West simply replaced the divine right of kings with the divine right of capital.
Legalized corruption is one of the two central problems connected to all the other problems in American society.
The other central problem is elite impunity — the idea that no matter how much damage elites do, they will never face social, political, legal or financial consequences.

People generally don't quite understand this yet but the impact of these layoffs from 2022 through today, even if they stop now to return to 2021 levels, are going to impact the games industry and games themselves as a medium for well over a decade. We've guaranteed games will be worse for years.

Remember, none of this is happening because there’s not enough money to pay these workers - it’s happening because there’s not enough money to satisfy the shareholders.

Slightly slow start to #TheAlters, but oh man is it great. Really thought I wasn't going to reach the milestone I needed in time, but it looks like I'll make it. Gameplay seems incredibly well balanced, no choice feels easy (both in gameplay and in dialogue). Gorgeous, interesting, captivating.

I made the mistake of trying out Brotato after my first session of Expedition 33. I've played it for 16.5 hours in less than 24 hours, I feel crusty and my eyes hurt. Shoot that intense player progression in my vein for another 20 minutes, please.

I've spent 2 minutes in #Expedition33's main menu and the music hits that NieR vibe, I'm already on board.

I haven't seen the complete IGN top 25 JRPG but all I know is that FFX is number 3 so that tells me its a competent list
