Since there's a bunch of resources being tossed around today, I took the liberty of pooling everything together into one mega document

Thank you to everyone before me researching and finding these resources, I hope it helps someone

Salem's Lot remake is bad. The 1979 miniseries holds up because it didn't rely on jump scares & gore. It didn't need the AHS treatment. Acting is good, the kid who plays Mark is fab and Barlow is great, but the vamps talk too much & it's all cheese. I watch Lost Boys for cheese. Happy Spoopy Month!

Put much better than what I would have written and with far less profanity.
But honestly, WE'RE MAD. We're mad that the people working hard to make the games we love are keep getting punished to help make the corporate bottom line look better. We're mad about all of the great games we're never going to see. We're mad that so many people have to suffer to make games.

With all of the layoffs going on in the gaming industry lately, we're starting to wonder what games are going to look like in the next few years, with teams everywhere being slashed. Our hearts go out to the devs affected, with hope everyone lands on their feet.
When is Blizzard's Untitled Survival Game releasing? Never, thanks to Microsoft and 1,900 layoffs.
Microsoft has shown us once again that the true Survival Game at the heart of corporate culture is literal as it lays off 1,900 people, employed mostly in

It is astonishing and upsetting how, not long ago, we had massive reservoirs of all the world's information in our pockets, and now, shitty rich people have poisoned those reservoirs. And now it's just a fucking mess.
If you tell someone to “Google it” at this point you’re telling them to look up five ads and some AI-generated bs instead of the actual thing they want to know.

Psst, this is me. I jokingly call it my ✌️business✌️account but the only "payment" I'll ever see is a smidgen of likes & sometimes a lovely comment. The knowledge that someone found some joy from my silliness is payment enough. Anyway feeling a certain way rn and sharing here too.
This has been my favorite screenshot spot since the start of DF & captures so much for me personally about the DF experience. I'm a little sad to say goodbye, but it'll be a patch I'll return to so other toons (and thus me) can experience certain questlines again. #warcraft

I'm already exhausted and this Con ain't even started yet! Also... why are CA blocks so much longer than NYC blocks? Also, I've been up since 4:30 am but at least I know I got more hours to sleep. Also, super happy there's a Dennys right around the corner as it will be feeding me every evening, lol!
