Does anyone want all of Fellowship (alongside everything I wrote for Dungeon World) for the low low price of slightly more than $18? Well now you can, its back on the bundle of holding.

My friends Shaima managed to get back online, I've been waiting for her, her mother is extremely ill and they haven't been able to get anything to break their fast. Everything helps.

Everything helps, every share is hope.

BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this?

The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us.

Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime.

What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful.

I think I'm in the minority where I'm glad they're at least going to let Sumino finish as a character and not expect Oto to fill her shoes with like 10 episodes left. Still wish they weren't doing it at all though!!! Still not going to keep watching!!!

Again, Tales of the Shire probably deserves a shellacking, and I don't want to malign a piece that is far from thoughtless, but the criticisms that this genre draws are a little too clear in wanting something different from the games they keep asking for it from.

If you want your specific ideas of community care represented within a fiction, you gotta do it! Write or program it the way that represents your viewpoint! Criticism amounting to "why didn't *you* make it this way?" *when a game clearly succeeds at what it wants to be* is endemic to this discussion

I am very glad you engage with works like Citizen Sleeper. But what the fuck has that got to do with Stardew Valley, Walter? Or anywhere else? The labor of caring for community in the traditional "cozy" game is abstracted, the same way army logistics are made into little gold coins in a Total War

The writer at least picks a valid target in specific, but in talking about "cozy" broadly this piece engages in the same thought-terminating clichés people love to use when they talk about this genre: a lot of over-intellectualization and citation to dress up an aesthetic preference for friction

An in-game render of Ozzy Osbourne, with the logo for Brutal Legend and text that reads, "Free for the next 666 minutes" and the itch.io logo in the bottom right corner

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend

But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night...
