We want to address recent reports regarding the status of Romero Games. These reports have contained inaccuracies, and we feel it's important to set the record straight. • The funding for our project was pulled, and our game was canceled. • Due to confidentiality agreements, we cannot disclose the publisher's identity, though some may infer it from public information. • As a result, we now have to reassess the entire staffing of our studio. • Romero Games is not closed, and we are doing everything in our power to ensure that it does not come to that. Any suggestion otherwise is factually incorrect. Indeed, we were in the studio today to discuss next steps with the team. • We've been contacted by several publishers interested in helping us bring the game across the finish line, and we're currently evaluating those opportunities. We appreciate the outpouring of support and will share further updates as we are able. Romero Games

Update (July 7, 2025)

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Laura Loomer‘s tweet: Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

I'm kind of nervous about posting this , but here we go.

I wrote a couple of smut stories. Currious what you all think.

If it's worth anything to you, I also feel like I'm a strongly character-driven writer and this thread is making me feel MUCH better about that.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

What's up with that laminate flooring? Just got installed in my apartment, looks like shit, lmao.

thanks, always appreciate the support skip :)

What a competitor. The curl, the stare, the construction of the bed. Masterclass in laying from Amydog here.

I'm not saying anything new but "legal path to transition" is just as brainrotted as "legal path to citizenship" and the sooner you piece that together the sooner you're on the right side of both issues okay thanks bye.

Yeah, no shit Devers didn't want to be in Boston anymore. The team did wrong by him, sometimes specifically, basically every opportunity they got. Why should he want to stay?

I'm a big fan of Hanwha Life, but... they've got to perform at some point.

I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm just as into the paws.

I'm a creative who doesn't mind that word for my stuff, but I hope you find a way you're comfortable to tell them. I'm sure they like your work/art/illustrations a lot! I know I do too.

Just a random swinging by, did you have any luck finding this? I only found some notes on these two old Gamespot threads:

gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/95439...

gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/95439...

The second one seems unrelated, though. Different contest.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

It’s a Nazi bar.

Ah yes, send armed militants to attack your own citizens. That will surely get your country to respect you.

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

They’re showing shots of what’s left of the barricade ICE rammed.

Kind of wild that the New York Times has more sympathy for an influencer who posted child porn than it does for trans children who want to be left alone.

Is Pat Finnerty a ContraPoints?

The NYT's continued war on trans kids and families is particularly heinous right now because they're targeting a group who can not speak up without endangering themselves. It's watching a minority group hide and flee for their lives while running a 6-part series about how the other side has a point.

Dropout needs to get you onto Smartypants. I know this image wouldn't be the topic, but it'd be great.

"If people knew how shit our product was they'd stop buying it" is the slogan of the 21st century

SOUTH LOOP ICE Mass Arrests Spark Chaos In South Loop As Activists Fight To Disrupt Operation At least 10 people were arrested at check-ins under an ICE monitoring program for immigrants, and an alderman said he was thrown to the ground by agents while protesting the arrests. By Francia Garcia Hernandez and Sebastián Hidalgo 17 hours ago

Reports of the arrests, which quickly spread on social media, prompted activists and alderpeople to arrive on scene at the office building at 2245 S. Michigan Ave. to resist and document the arrests. A chaotic scene unfolded, and Ald. Anthony Quezada (35th) later said ICE agents pushed him to the ground as the tense scene unfolded. Quezada told Block Club at least 10 people were detained by immigration agents Wednesday, with the alderman citing community organizers. Quezada said one advocate told him people received text messages informing them to come to the building for "surprise check-ins" as part of the federal Intensive Supervision Appearance Program.

Tensions escalated outside the office building as agents led detainees out to vans. Most agents wore face coverings and some carried long guns. They were seen pushing back some of the alderpeople and residents who assembled to protest, and Quezada later said he was aggressively pushed to the ground by agents. A child could also be heard asking if his mother was among those being led to the vans as he frantically searched for her.

Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday.

They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for “surprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials.

THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.

Hades and Slay the Spire meeting before the semifinals, I wouldn't have been able to handle hashing that one out.
