BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.

Next on the review front today, @sonicbug.bsky.social has checked out the latest installment of this spring anime series.
"Someone tried to strangle Sneako", "Clavicular just had a drug overdose", I refuse to believe that understanding any of these headlines is better for me than chain-smoking
A first look at the Hard Sci-Fi, Soft Slice-Of-Life and Very Queer Indeed graphic novel Runaway To The Stars by Jay Eaton from Iron Circus on Kickstarter #graphicnovel
Ahhhhh. He’s back on his bullshit again!
The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.
“Beard grows through table” I’m sorry… what?

The last time I went in a Dave & Busters my skin crawled in a way that it only had once before when at a casino. People (including me) used to laugh at Marshfield for having made arcades illegal… they knew.

1000xResist was/is one of my favorite games of the past few years. It spoke powerfully to the personal and societal traumas from the early days of COVID-19. Now, they're making a game about AI? Of *course* I had to talk to them about it for @remapradio.bsky.social remapradio.com/articles/the...
An AI dares to dream that she is human. You’ve been hired to put her in her place.
We’re sunset visitor 斜陽過客, the creators of 1000xRESIST, and this is our next game: Prove You’re Human.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois
Brutal.
Given how often we see giant NA publishers buy up home video rights and sit on them forever, the industry REALLY needs to start mandating "use it or lose it" clauses for HV rights in negotiations.
Like, if CR or Netflix won't put out a BD, fine - let Discotek, Media Blasters, or AnimEigo do it.
Panel 1 A delivery bot on a suburban path says “You don’t always end up where you expect” Panel 2 “It’s silly but I saw myself beside an astronaut rolling across a strange new world” it says as it continues down the path. An alert reads “50m to destination” Panel 3 A had has opened the lid of the bot and taken out a paper bag. “I like to feel useful. Nobody likes a cold hamburger” Panel 4 It continues “So I give every mission my all” The alert says “mission complete” Panel 5 The sun is setting. The bot looks tired. The alert says it’s power is 3% Panel 6 Night. Stars twinkle. The bot is parked in a lot with three others, it has its eyes closed and says “in my dock I dream of space”

Pull on that first banner that they give you with Noelle on it. use only the standards you get for free on the standard banner. The current banner is… underwhelming. Chasca’s a weird playing character and I know nothing about the new girl. The 4 stars on it are trash.

Humans are people no matter where you are. Most of us are just trying to live our lives while miserable horrible wealthy evil assholes try to make our lives terrible, and people who wish they were them make their will manifest.
I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

And on the new docket today, @sonicbug.bsky.social gets to check out one of the most anticipated anime shows in quite some time, I think.
Call scripts to come.
I know all of us are very stages of freaked this morning, but focus on what you can do right now: calling your reps. Make sure they're hearing you.
When you're done? Call five friends/family members/neighbors and get them to do the same.
