it’s a fascinating phenomenon

I’m so honoured that we get to host this showcase. The full list is the ultimate summation of the sort of stuff we’ve been highlighting and want to continue giving space to.

Please share if you think that weird games deserve more love!

"formless star", clay models of characters with various propellers on their heads are stood in a row in front of a starry background.

Anemo, a red character with a big orange nose and a green anemometer on their head is stood in front of their spaceship.

Finding the animal "Lighthorse", which looks like a lighthouse with legs, and a head made out of transparent cones of light. "Stands at the coastline to act as a beacon, however it has difficulty discerning a puddle from an ocean. said to be proud of its red stripes."

Inside the spaceship, the character Turbine, who is green and has buck teeth, is saying "They say if you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life. Seems I may be the only worker here."

Jeremy Allen White had to follow a rigorous training regimen to get in shape for his role as Rotta the Hutt in the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu film!

real Knowers are aware of the appeal of stories like DBZ and JJBA, getting to see characters you know n love grow up n change

any true SW-Head intimately familiar with the source material could tell you about Rotta the Hutt, aka “Stinky” as Ahsoka dubs him, and is excited for his big-screen debut

POV you walked in on the Tarnished and Fia, Deathbed Companion

I need everyone whose response to yesterday's animation news was "Just go indie!" to understand two things.

1.) "Work For Hire" means the company owns what you've created. You have no rights to it unless explicitly stated in the contract.

2.) Going indie does not pay the bills.

Oxenfree II that good huh? Glad to hear it, been meaning to give that a spin since it came out! Huge fan of the first one.

[SPOILER] the post got deleted by big corp.

Dude that’s heartbreaking, what an actual travesty to have to divest yourself from your creation and work like this

Fuck Buzzfeed for this, what a dumbass decision, hope they get a lot of flak over it

Oh shit, right on!

This is from one of the former Infinity Ward/Call of Duty co-founders:

Squidward saying “I wonder if a fall from this height would be enough to kill me” from that one Wumbo episode where they made him little

Elden Ring (2022)

is that good ol’ Demogoblin, or somebody else?

Great game that's worth it for the soundtrack alone - and you're helping a good cause! I seriously think this might be my favourite Inkle game, and that's saying something because they've put out nothing but bangers

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

Hey folks, thank you so much for your help. I still really need help with groceries, my internet bill, as well as getting to these appointments because they want to see me again right away. Please help if you can, thank you so much

Christ, I’m so glad you have people looking out for you and that you have some legal stuff in the works! Take the best care of yourself you can in the interim, I’m so sorry you’re in this position.

Really good article. It truly is a shame that there are so many voices cheering on failure and seemingly not enough lamenting gard work not coming to fruition. Love to see writing like this, even if about an unfortunate situation.

Media Matters analyzed a year of NYT coverage of anti-trans bills and found that 66% of the time the paper didn't quote a trans person. Further, it found that the paper often quoted right wing sources without mentioning their histories of anti-trans rhetoric.
So "right-wing rag" is pretty accurate.

The creator of ChatGPT is named "Altman," as in "alternative to human" and he leads OpenAl, which is completely closed. His main opponent is the company Anthropic, meaning "human-centered" is led by "Amodei," as in "loves gods". Then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a company that said that it will do no evil. Brilliant work as always Kojima!

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

Put together a little vid with the whole crew highlighting their Next Fest faves. Lots of great stuff in here, and I love how different everyone’s tastes are. Check it out! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
