I do some writing for Xbox Tavern, and sometimes for gamecritics. I have a Youtube channel that people still visit to watch the intro for Super Meat boy, and sometimes to watch some out takes from the Obi-Wan game on Xbox

(and also citing their most famous work, might make them think you are one of the bad people)

That time you bump into someone at work and you go 'do we know each other?' and then you realise that, no, no you don't - it is just one of your writing heroes and then they are very polite and you are desperately not trying to make it awkward

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

And I saw nothing.

No cis pushback. No marches. No air horn orchestras.

They abandoned us completely because we demanded more accountability and protections.

Cis liberals have broken my heart time and time again. People I marched with. People I called friends.

Pure fucking silence.

btw for trans women to offer this kind of practical warning and sympathy is a serious mitzvah and we cis women really owe it to them (and to ourselves!) to step up our solidarity in kind

I like to think I follow games closely - I was not aware of this game's existence

Finally watched the first Twilight movie and I love how unhinged it is, saw the next two and they are both way more competent but feel anywhere near as enjoyable

The director did a remake of DeathStalker that is worth a look

Does it mention how many devs are being forced to use AI agent? Asking because I am one of them

There is an episode where it is just "various men find Fiona Dourif desirable" and with all the depressing stuff that happens the show needed that levity

Thanks for the heads up jesse that was an easy block on a less than awesome person

The most frustrating part is that I agree with him - that new GoW Sons of Sparta game looks shit

I work with a guy that is an incredibly technical person - super smart - I showed him how to wrap a scarf around his face today, he is 40. Art is for everyone but some people don't build skills in it, don't expect tech to step in and do it for you

In my defence I cannot do this because I own an Xbox Series X

Started playing Sekiro again after giving up 5 years ago. I got stuck on the drunk guy in the flashback.... There's a levelling system in this game? I think I know how I got stuck

The downfall of Xbox can be traced to them taking away the Blades UI on the 360

This reads like an AI that was told to write like a Bret Easton Ellis novel

Is this Wuthering Heights film going to be the Spawn of this decade? Seems like a shakey adaptation with a banging soundtrack

That sequence with the key going into the car - inspired madness.

Am watching Biker Boyz at the moment, not as good but opens with an insanely stylish One-r

GNOSIA on Steam The Gnosia lie. Pretending to be human, they’ll get in close, trick and deceive, and then eliminate one victim at a time...

I don't like visual novels all that much, I just find the balance of game and story never quite works for me. But Gnosia, Gnosia is a work of art:

Single player Among Us, with a really excellent story. I beg you to play it.

Have you tried the demo? It had everything I wanted from a remake like this. A bit janky, no serious handholding, and very little properly explained
