Oh so now a twink can't age gracefully. I see how it is.

Somewhere in Thedas a single mage reads the words "blood magic" on a piece of paper.

Every single Templar: we have to genocide the Circles.

As part of the Different Colors of Hair on Your Face community, I take offense at this.

Here’s a short video showing what digital preservation involves. In this case, a file only works from a CD and can’t just be copied to our network—so we have to convert it into a playable format.

Google doc in which a fucking machine tries to tell me I meant "ruined" instead of "borked." No, I fucking did not.

Excuse me, Google, but if I wrote "borked," then I fucking meant borked.

A screenshot from The Dagger of Amon Ra. The dialog box reads: "It’s too heavy. You don’t have room for it in your purse. It’s not yours. You can’t do anything with the shovel. You have more important things to do than use the shovel. Besides, the shovel is rusted into place."

Doki Doki Literature Club is a widely celebrated piece of videogame art, discusses deeply difficult topics in sincere and meaningful ways, and Google Play needs to revert the removal of the game immediately.

Palestinian writer Omar Hamad founded the Phoenix Library—the Gaza Strip’s first public library—built in the wake of Israel’s ongoing genocide.

Here's your moment of zen: A "holy" cat named Coco stands at the entrance of a church in Mexico, seemingly blessing everyone who walks in 🐱

Probably one of my favorite essays of hers. Full throated defense of escapism as such.

Are you suggesting the party of Kishi would exploit non-Japanese? First I'm hearing of this...

Love to be a country with a chronic labor shortage and not only doing nothing to make things better but actively making the problem worse.

If it's pronounced "unbound," then why is it spelled, "unbeed?"

We in fact have a different solution for that. We're delaying MGS4 and Peacewalkers and doing an ep on game preservation and the problems with historical analysis of games.
