@gailsimone.bsky.social , you are fucking incredible. Just half way through The Dark Artery and am absolutely blown down and away by how good it is.

Wow. Just wow. The 2024 to Current run of The Uncanny X-Men is some of the very best comic book I have ever read.

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

Batman / Deadpool was everything I wanted it to be. Perfection.

Jumping jimminy piss, stop gate keeping folks coming into your fandom thought either shame, dismissal, or withholding.

Protection and stewardship are different. Someone engaging with your thing is a good thing. If you have space, guide. If you don't, leave it be and love your thing.

This is the version of the post that everyone needs to see. And all you readers/authors despairing of non-comprehension, etc, we are gaining new fans of fantasy and SF. It might not be the fantasy or SF you personally read, but they're reading and buying where they weren't before.

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI'
Remember that.
Remember her.

Oh hell yeah! Thank you! (Also, tag away)

So I did the thing before I chickened out (or came to my senses) and threw up a GFM as a stop gap measure. I hate doing it more than anyone will hate seeing another fund raiser.

It's perfect and will be the thing that makes my brain leak out my ears

Hey! I started listening this today. Just started with the episode of Psylocke and my brain almost tried to leap out of my head, screaming and on fire, with in 20 minutes of lore dump.

Thank you. This is perfect.

That is plenty enough I feel

Thank you. Do I need to go this hard for my home Marvel game? No. Will I? You bet your ass I will.

I don't think your gifs are loading right?

By the gods, we shall try.

HA!

Trying to digest X-Men lore might be the thing that finally ends me.

tanya is really good people. they’ve been nothing but a great friend, any support or boosting would me a lot to me!

A picture of Doctor Doom leaning back in a large chair, fingers steepled, a word bubble containing "I am Doom." floats near his head.

Today's mood.

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??

I'm certain this string of English does not mean what my brain wants to convince me it means.
