My Minecraft build lost temple entrance, partially completed. Two huge statues flank the foreground, each holding a diamond sword. In the background, an arched ceiling is held up by deteriorating pillars.

In-progress entrance area to lost temple, the whole work heavily inspired by the dungeon TheMythicalSausage built for Misadventures SMP

all built in survival + mob proofed (including the multiple slime chunks)

I feel like most of my followers know this but because I see a lot of cis folks who have a specific blind spot for it:

This includes the theme park. I don't care if you want Butterbeer or want to get a wand or are already there so why not just walk in. It's all Her. Everything with the name is Her.

I've been comparing it a bit to The Witness, which is another puzzle game that kept changing my perspective with each solve. Even though the credits rolled, in no way am I close to the end of the game.

More and more, I’m seeing people gesticulate wildly about how leaving the U.S. is a dereliction of duty.

If you’re a trans person or an immigrant, the first and most important thing you must do is survive. The rest can come later

Not Enough People Are Playing 2025’s Best Game Yet It's a surefire GOTY contender for 2025 as the highest-score game of the year so far, but it needs more players than it has.

Infographic labeled "How does a tariff work?" showing the breakdown of a price for a pair of shoes made in China and sold in the US. https://www.britannica.com/money/trade-war-meaning

Editor's Note: We updated the graphic to include China's new tariff rate (104%).

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TRUMP’S TARIFFS The quick version. On April 2, Trump announced sweeping tariffs on every country except Russia, North Korea, Cuba, and Belarus. Tariffs are a tax that are paid by the importer when goods enter our country. Prices on everyday items will increase radically and responsive tariffs will harm US businesses. Ask your federal representatives (numbers at reps.fyi) to revoke Trump’s ability to apply tariffs. Who pays tariffs? The country of origin does not pay tariffs. Whoever is importing the goods in the US pays the tariff, and passes the cost along to regular consumers—in other words, we, the people will pay the tariff. How did Trump calculate his tariffs? Trump’s tariff sheet claims that countries charge the US exorbitant tariffs. This is a lie. The number he lists has nothing to do with tariffs, but is instead a trade deficit ratio, calculated as the dollar amount we import from that country divided by the amount we export to that country. What is the difference between a trade deficit and a tariff? Trade deficits are not tariffs. We buy more from some countries than they buy from us because many Americans have disposable income and purchasing power. It is not possible, or beneficial, for countries to have perfectly balanced imports and exports. What impact will this have on your life? You will pay more for everything you buy, and American businesses will lose overseas customers. The last time America passed sweeping tariffs was in 1930; this is part of what made the Great Depression last so long. Trump’s tariffs are higher than the failed 1930 tariffs. Who is responsible? • Donald Trump and his cabinet for imposing the tariffs. • Every Senator and Representative who fails to block Trump’s tariffs. What can you do?

• Contact your Senators and Representative (info at http://reps.fyi), and ask them to revoke the so-called national emergency that Trump is using to impose these tariffs. • Distribute this fact sheet so that people know who is responsible and how to join in. • Join a protest against Trump’s damaging policies. Sources for these claims & this sheet itself can be freely downloaded at TrumpsTariffsExplained.com

I've finished my extremely basic normie tariff discussion. Here's what it looks like.

*Please share so EVERYONE hears this -

THIS is the level of anger, rage and indignation we need to collectively be showing, voicing and channelling right now.

NONE of this is 'Ok' and we need to let them KNOW.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was undeniably divisive, but to many who worked on it, it was a miraculous accomplishment to even ship a complete game after EA forced live-service into it, then reversed course. Now, their reward for the long hours and hard work is layoffs and transfers.

Dragon Age Veilguard player character, Rook. In the foreground stands an elven female with dark hair and faded into the distance is a cityscape. She is wearing a dim purple jacket and grey pants, and appears to be focused on something offscreen.

Not going to progress very fast with my 'speedy' playthrough, if I don't stop playing with photo mods.

Another elven Rook because I can (always), plus Mourn Watch mage (again)

Another round of Dragon Age Veilguard but I *only* doing main story quests.

Pierre Poilievre is only "inevitably" the next Prime Minister if we say so.

New Brunswick and Manitoba used their last two provincial elections to send bigots packing.

We can do it nationally if we want to.
