the last run sold out in like a week, so don't wait?
www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4...

p.s. tariffs are included for the USA in the shipping. they aint cheap :(
"droqen's tarot" written (signed?) along the side of a box containing a deck of cards. visible through translucent vellum is the ace of cups. a lot of my cards! at the right of the spread on top is the ace of cups. beneath are too many to name but i can easily make out the ace of swords, eight of coins, the empress, inverted king of cups, five of cups, nine of coins, three of swords, knight of coins, knight of swords, seven of cups, temperance, my beloved six of cups, the sun... oh, and the wheel of fortune peeking out at the bottom there.

He made several stops along the way, allowing passengers to get on and off, police say. He was then arrested.

Ses travaux explorent deux thèmes principaux : l'expression des traumatismes infantiles et le futurisme autochtone (plus précisément l'utopisme du retour aux terres).

Nous avons hâte de l'entendre prendre la parole au Game Jam ce week-end !

I'm filling out the special government designed CV form so I can apply for grants and it is so, so long. It has separate sections for everything and it is at least two sub-menus to get to the fillable part for each.

I've been told it normally takes a week to fill out. A WEEK!

I'm crying y'all.

Look, at this point I think we all know that the Game Awards is just an expensive pretense Keighley organized so that Kojima senpai would finally notice him.

To pretend its anything else is an embarrassment to ourselves and our art.

When I tell people I'm into Post-Irony, what I mean is I read the Onion for honest news.

At this point they might as well just start a sister magazine called "I'm Just Saying What Everyone Is Thinking."

Welcome to my Year 1 Semester 1 MFA fucking around.
It's short 'cus I had too much coursework to do, but hey, the bar for video game in academia is in hell and this is at least above dirt.

Enjoy the feeling of being trapped on a road trip. It's nice, but you're still trapped.

Anybody who has watched the Times pull this shit for ages knows this game. Good piece.
When writing to a journalist friend, I just said that it's a bit unravelling, right now, to be on the receiving end of this kind of belated real-time education in elite metabolization. Like so many other bits of Times coverage, the whole of the piece is structured as an orchestrated encounter. Some people say this; however, others say this. It's so offhand you can think you're gazing through a pane of glass. gazing through a pane of glass. Only when you stand a little closer, or when circumstances make you a little less blinkered, do you notice the fact which then becomes blinding and finally crazymaking, which is just that there is zero, less than zero, stress put on the relation between those two "sides, or their histories, or their sponsors, or their relative evidentiary authority, or any of it. Instead, what you get is a piece making the various more or less bovine noises of studious grey-lady impartiality, with the labor of anything resembling "appraisal" surgically excised.

Games are maybe the only medium where it's expected that the critic constantly meet the art on its terms only and not bring any of their personal opinion to it.
