This sort of gesture, to release what many have wanted for decades and give all the proceeds to your late comrade's charity, that is friendship.

Alien: Covenant has become the film I watch when I feel like shouting at God. Huge thanks to Unwinnable for letting me explain why.
Finally, @nivmsultan.bsky.social recommends Tokyo Mirage Sessions # FE: "a decade before K-Pop Demon Hunters came the J-pop demon hunters."

For the tabletop folks, designers and publishers, especially if you're not based in the US - do you have thoughts about attending Gen Con later in July/Aug, given the state of geopolitical affairs? Would you be attending, or would you be giving it a miss? Let me know! kheehoon@rascal.news
I hear a megacorp bought another megacorp yesterday. Cancel those streaming services and put some dollars in the hands of small, independent publishers. Unwinnable not your speed? Try @critdistance.bsky.social @romchip.bsky.social @bpmonthly.bsky.social @noescapevg.com @startmenu.bsky.social
this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.
It's black history month. I love my blackness. And yours. In that spirit, I'm gonna post some of my past writing on the theme.
nm I just went and posted it out btphotographer.com/postdraft/xv...
CD is 100 dollars or so short of sustainability. Incredibly valuable resource for anyone who cares about games, whether for research or just casual reading. Also like... look lmao, web's as fractured as it's ever been. Having the roundup gather a bunch of cool stuff you'd never see otherwise is good

Header image for Levi Rubeck's column Casting Deep Meteo, featuring a still from the videogame Lanesplit. The view is from the point of view of a motorcycle rider whipping down a highway at twilight. Headline reads: The Joy of Focus
"The joy of Lanesplit is realizing that never getting one of these bikes was the right call for me, as I’d probably be a smear at this point, but here I am able to dole out my own little serotonin drip." Thank goodness @rubeck.bsky.social doesn't ride a motorcycle.
this piece is the first one in my loose series I’m hoping to do this year about women, writing, and games. I’d love to speak to more women game writers/developers about their work and experiences!

My webstore heycentaur.com is finally up!
This took so many months of labour (mostly my partner’s), but it is all ready and running.
Physical copies of Kala Mandala are now available, shipping to most of the world.
Levine did not have concerns while making the movie but has developed a fuller understanding of the trans experience in the ensuing decades. "It's just over time and having gotten aware and worked with trans folks, and understanding a bit more about the culture and the reality of the meaning of gender.", says the actor, "It's unfortunate that the film vilified that, and it's fucking wrong. And you can quote me on that.".
I don't believe I've ever seen Ted Levine speak so candidly about his regrets of portraying Buffalo Bill in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. He and some of the crew on the film were asked about the film's cultural transphobia by The Hollywood Reporter.

Last semester, I shifted what had been a 4-part series of online discussion posts to a 4-part series of in-class, pen and paper short essays. I've never received more positive feedback in student evals from a single pedagogical decision ever. www.chronicle.com/article/to-s...
For me it’s three friends with compatible schedules
It's an indictment of the entertainment industry as well, because I'm fairly sure Sony (the producers of Dawson's Creek), WB (which aired it), Disney (which owned and aired Don't Trust the B*) & Paramount (which produced Varsity Blues) made money off of him & should have insured him for life.
Unwinnable subscribers saw an excerpt of this last month, but here's the much, much longer convo I had with Autumn back in December about cultural criticism, my process, and a long, ongoing battle with alienation from my own taste and craft. A little rambly, apologies
