Maybe zoom it out to month to give people choices, then you can read it like a Tarot reading. "This movie signifies..."

Video game, Steam or PS5.

Content equivalent to an R rated movie.

That's crazy that they were almost sunk at the time of the game awards. I assume they had to pay for that trailer placement, that's a wildly successful calculated risk.

This explains so much.

She came back in to the office. She turned on the fan. I bundled up in a blanket. I showed her this post. She laughed.

She left.

The fan is still on.

*insert 90s sitcom set upon husband joke here*

My house is haunted by a ghost that wanders the house and turns the ceiling fans on at full blast, then wanders off, leaving them on and me shivering.

The ghost is my wife.

Magician First Class: Urban Fantasy With Heart Sparks & Recreation: a new series about magic, community, and doing your best from award-winning author Kate (Karen) Healey

Great author, neat urban fantasy concept, extremely reasonable ask. If this appeals, pledge if you can, signal boost if you can't!

I got to hear about the campaign that inspired this while it was ongoing and I was so jealous because it sounded REALLY cool.

It's funny because both romance options are well written, but both are ethically problematic from a 'workplace romance' perspective!

I do wonder if that will come back to bite them in future chapters, or if it's 'not that kind of movie' so to speak.

I was legitimately torn at the big choice.

Commander,

I have a sensitive matter to discuss with you. After the recent incident on the holodeck with the sentient Mario character and his mind control hat, I saw Geordi working in engineering wearing that same hat, a wide mustache, and white gloves.

Wait, so today the left and the right can unite over hatred of Ronald Reagan? Wow, that's a long time coming but I'm glad tha--

They're mad he said WHAT?

The timers for the dialogue cutscenes were way tighter, and I missed a few of the QTE prompts in the prologue, though you can turn those off.

Only the first two episodes are out, and the actual superhero segments were the tutorial in ep 1, and then episode 2 was the same content from the demo.

I'm playing on mouse and keyboard, but I didn't have much problem with the 'hotspots' as far as the timer goes. None of them were that fast that I noticed, the only real timing issue was if I was trying to wait for a resting hero to come back on the clock, then the timing became close.

Played the first two episodes of Dispatch, really enjoyed it. The ending of episode 2 made me audibly suck in my breath, I loved it.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

God damned am I tired of 20th Century Democrats clinging to positions of power.

I really need a second feed of Bluesky that's just... funny memes and cats and video games and stuff.

I know it's important to stay informed, but it's just... so... much. Bleaugh.

Well... this is handy. Auto no AI in google results:

i got to star in a LIVE-ACTION SEGA COMMERCIAL for one of my favorite video game series YAKUZA/LIKE A DRAGON, getting to wear these costumes was so surreal, you can watch the commercial here @sega-west.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ddV...

I watched 90% of it on the doom vacation -- when Summer & I were hotel stranded up she watched the first episode without me, and I ended up watching it from the second episode on after that with her.

Great show!

My condolences. :/

I've read sluggy freelance by Pete Abrams for over 25 years and it's always a delight.

Excited for Marvel Cosmic Invasion, but I will admit Cosmic Ghost Rider is probably one of my all time least favorite characters in comics.

It was an idea that was meh for a one shot, and I'm disappointed every time he turns up.

If you don't know his origin story, it's even dumber than you think.

GoBots Turbo

He does *kind of* remind me of Cartoon Turbo.

Far superior to Toy Turbo, though.

Plus we all have that 'horny friend' who reposts everything they think is hot under the sun, and no shame, but I'd like to keep up with them without having my feed being NSFW.

Why this convention center expert is calling LA's expansion plan a disaster "If you think that somehow a bigger convention center is key to downtown revitalization, or is going to do wonders for local job creation, or economic development? The answer is, you've got to be kidd...

Last week, convention center expert Heywood Sanders wrote this about LA's expansion plan: "the likelihood of any significant increase in the city’s convention business is effectively nil."

So I called him up to talk me through his analysis — and what he told me makes LA's plan seem *even worse*

From the moment of this post, Super Mario Bros. is now closer to World War II than it is to the present day.

Absolutely fair.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there
