The 90s Are Alive Again
Had the opportunity to throw some time at the FF7 Rebirth on my friend’s PS5. I’ll have to wait until June before I can expect to see it on PC, but its been a lot of fun to date. Eager to see more of it.
Meanwhile, Unicorn Overlord on the Switch has been a great travel game.
Diploma mills gonna mill diplomas
Click bait headlines should be banned unless they’re spoofs.
Seems like it’s the only way anyone knows how to make money anymore
War is always just the prelude to diplomacy. Gotta wonder how many more people will die before talking starts.
Republicans. Would. Be. Worse.
We will be more like China
We won’t be like China. We’ll be more insulated and divorced from Chinese media, culture, and conversation.
That’s the stated end goal. Bringing up sharp walls between nationalities in order to control the flow of information between people.
If we keep TikTok open, we risk exposing American young people to Chinese norms, ideals, and social standards. We might even be exposed directly to Chinese mass media (ie, propaganda).
This is a real security risk, as it raises a possibility that younger Americans won’t accept American mass media at face value.
Nintendo gets to do this (the Yuzu shit) because so many other developers have stopped making anything except slot machines.
Behold, the unlimited power of a fully nationalized war time economy.
No Poor Muslims Allowed
I mean, I’m going to need a bit more info. What’s the R/W on that kind of disc look like?
Its called a bumblebee because its got three left feet.
More than 122 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since the outbreak of the war.
America deserves a President Kamala Harris
I am just personally uninterested in the direction the game is going with the OneD&D, and I think the source of this muddling path is do to the failure of the original business maneuver with the OGL revision.
I absolutely agree. Although, I think the consequences of that decision has been something of a “Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom!” D&D-knock-off renaissance. And I’m pretty happy with that, given how a lot of my old favorites from Palladium and Rollmaster and GURPS seem to have found some new life.
I don’t really see things getting better under Hasbro, so any major shakeup might be a good thing overall.
I would love to see the Onyx Path (ie, old White Wolf) folks find their legs again. Miss myself some old school Vampire: The Masquerade.
they might have been more hands-off than Hasbro went it comes to mucking with the business model,
Hasbro was extremely hands off for a long while. But then their toy lines fell apart and their board game revenue just became “How many times can we sell you the same box of Monopoly pieces?”
Suddenly WotC was their revenue stream, and the head managers decided they needed to apply their magic touch to the franchise.
I don’t really care, because D&D is more a style of playing than a product for sale. Sucks to see Faerun or Eberon cannibalized by these ghouls, but there’s just so much fucking material out there that’s never going away.
It’s just not a game you can ruin (and 4e fucking tried, let me tell you). Too much of it is bound up in what you and your friends bring to the table.
Looks like they… crossed the line.
It’s a shame we never invented a Space-Time machine
