Remembering when the nerdzis whined about Hades II’s Hephaestus being in a wheelchair because “he’s a god” and demonstrated how they know exactly fuck-all about Greek mythology. Or many polytheistic mythologies. Or anything at all.

Hey @tamoorh.com

Saw your Battlefield 6 campaign preview on GameSpot. Great work, as always.

Based on what you've played. What's your view on Ars Technica's report back in July about BF6 campaign setbacks?

Thanks!

Reading the news about Rod Fergusson joining Bioshock, and can't help but feel that @edmondtran.bsky.social saw this coming while re-reading the news article of Rod leaving Blizzard from Aug 11th.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

El boicot de jarripoter ya no debe limitarse al material oficial. Es que hay que evitar que ese puto cáncer de libro se siga extendiendo:

STOP fan art

STOP fan fics

STOP publicidad y difusión, debe sumirse en la más profunda de las mierdas. Olvidad esos putos libros.

Esto es gravísimo.
