Extra Life | Change Kids' Health, Change the Future I'm raising funds with #EXTRALIFE for kids treated at my Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! I need your help to reach my fundraising goal. Please donate today to change kids' health.

It's October, which means you know what time it is:
ASHLEY IS RAISING MONEY FOR SICKKIDS!

Gaming for 24 hours. Live stream. Prizes. Special guests. Shenanigans.

This is my 10TH YEAR fundraising for SickKids so let's make it the best year yet!

That's awesome.

For a while, I seriously considered trying to do the same with a Sega Naomi cab, but never pulled the trigger.

Still think about it once in a while, though!

Siiiic. What are you building?

BREAKING: words mean different things.

A hand holds a Magic: The Gathering card of Y'shtola, Night's Blessed. She is a human/cat hybrid, dressed in a dark cloak, with a gnarled staff.

Catgirl supremacy.

I want to make a game like those OG Thiefs so much.

ONLY THE STRONGEST WILL SURVIIIIVE
TAKE ME TO HEAVEN WHEN WE DIIIIIE

I heard it was multiverse shit and immediately lost interest.

I don't think that's true. It's every store.

The only places you are guaranteed to get MSRP are big box stores. When you turn Gamestop into the good guy, you've really fucked up.

Local game stores acting like scalpers and setting pre-sale prices based on speculation is the worst part of playing Magic.

I want to root for independent stores but when they do shit like this they make it so hard.

Momentum.

Subscriptions are the enshitification of access to art.

GenAI is the enshitification of creation of art.

Oh, so Game Pass is just cooked, huh?

Players largely have a good nose for bullshit, which is why they have been so vocal in their wholesale rejection of AI. It's bullshit top to bottom and they can smell it a mile away.

There are more great games releasing than ever before. Players have the power to walk away and they will.

Most of these people could never work again and be comfortable for the rest of their lives.

And yet...

I understand this on a deep level.

Loot!

Even among the shock of Konami actually doing stuff again, this is maybe the most shocking?

Suikoden? Anime??

Nice to see them not just hitting the low hanging fruit.

I wanna pull apart my Y'shtola precon and turn her into a menace.

It's 2025, baby. Good news is for the history books.

Embracer CEO says AI can become a 'creative catalyst' Newly-appointed Embracer boss Phil Rogers said the company will adopt a 'strong ethical framework' when using generative AI.

There is no ethical framework for a tool built unethically.

No matter what you yourself do with it, it only exists thanks to mass creative theft on an incalculable scale.

There is nothing ethical about benefitting from that theft.

I am familiar with these rumours!

A hand holds a copy of Superman on 4K in front of a shelf of other movies. The cover art depicts a picture of Superman from the chest up, surrounded by silhouettes of other people, giving him a "one of the people" vibe.

Good mail day!

Holy fuck dude!

Wow okay

I think less of people who outsource their humanity to The Slop Machine and I say so loudly and often.

Not to be a stereotype but

My cat knocked over a Han Solo statue this week, so I share your pain.

Those are comparable right?
