Harry Potter Audiobooks Reveals Cast Led By Hugh Laurie, Matthew Macfadyen, Riz Ahmed & Michelle Gomez; Cush Jumbo To Narrate; Release Dates Set Pottermore Publishing and Audible are unveiling the star-studded cast lineup for Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions.

Over the next few years, you are going to see a LOT of Harry Pottter slop. WB has already thrown a Billion-with-a-B dollars at their new HP series and filming hasnโ€™t even begun. They NEED it to be at the front of everyoneโ€™s mind.

Megaman syled Nintendo characters.

I like my Megaman sprite to not be Megaman clones.

The newest generation of mimics laughs at their parents for being fools and always hiding as treasure chests. Now they hide as doors and ladders and weapon racks full of magical looking weapons. They are more clever and ruthless than their parents, and consume far more adventurers.

Castle Scarwall in Golarion, from Pathfinder.

Its basically Dracula's Castle, but with the serial numbers transmuted off. A solitary stone castle in a vast moat/lake with a long stone bridge leading to it.

Hey, someone who actually knows about swords and knives and doesnโ€™t just love them unconditionally: what is the actual difference between a straight blade and a curved one? Like why are katanas curved but broadswords arenโ€™t?

Trans darts player vows not to let new anti-trans ban ruin her love of the sport - LGBTQ Nation The new policy effectively sidelines trans darts star Noa-Lynn van Leuven from World Darts Federation's women's events.

SO last week the World Darts federation allowed anti-trans bigots to assault a player mid-match, and this week they ar addressing the issue...
By banning trans women from playing darts.

Gamers Are Furious About the Censorship of NSFW Gamesโ€”and Theyโ€™re Fighting Back As industry groups decry censorship, players are flooding Visa and Mastercard with complaints and sharing the titles of delisted NSFW games to support developers.

Itch's founder told me the site is seeking alternative payment processors as it navigates its widescale NSFW deindexing. "We need to complete conversations with our payments processors to understand where they stand so that we can make the right decisions going forward" www.wired.com/story/gamers...

Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces? Digital distribution platforms Steam and itch.io have tightened their rules about adult content โ€“ under pressure from payment processors. Why has this happened and where will it lead?

Steam and itch.io have removed thousands of video games in recent weeks deemed to be "adult content" in order to comply with strict rules from payment processors like Mastercard.

These policies censor artists engaged in lawful speech. Mastercard shouldn't be the gatekeepers of our digital freedom.
