@IGNorantreturns @GermanStrands I don’t agree this is the “most important detail”, and it never was - in any Fable game. Character customisation has always been quite limited through the series, yet the games are all great. Character customisation is a nice bonus though, absolutely! Love to see it included 👏🏻

HOLY SMOKES 🤩

Things are, in fact, Good. Before 🤝 After

@Joseph_Fasano_ Yes please! We need it always but especially during periods like this, Joseph ❤️🙏

Friends, please let me know if you'd like me to keep the Daily Poetry Thread going, since so many people are leaving this platform. I think Poetry should continue, especially where it's marginalized.

It is WILD to me that Remedy knew Alan Wake was a slow burn - commercially unsuccessful upon release, though it was met with universal critical acclaim - and they STILL didn’t take lessons from that, 13 years later, when launching Alan Wake II. Blows my mind.

A triumph. Heart-wrenching, and heart-warming. A portrait of loneliness, grief, and hope which makes no apologies for delivering belly laughs followed closely by gut punches. I *loved* this film. Possibly my favourite of the year.

2 MORE DAYS ⚡️ Who’s ready?

No spoilers, but SHEESH it was good to be back in the world of #AlanWakeII and uncover new detail around the FBC’s operations. I’ll replay Alan Wake II at some point, but for now let’s manifest a follow up which takes less than thirteen years to release yeah? 🔦

You had me at “clandestine government facility” 🔥

In the years I’ve been making Stuff The British Stole, the biggest lesson for me has been how much history hides behind politeness—polite plaques, polite speeches, polite monarchs. I don’t have Lidia Thorpe's life experience, and it’s not appropriate for me to offer commentary on her actions. But let’s be clear on one thing: the British Empire was not a polite enterprise. Like most, it was built on conquest, power, and, yes, things were truly stolen. Many things that have not been returned or in some cases even acknowledged. It was not a polite empire.

@JoshButler “The team responsible for producing the beer list was tasked with showcasing that our palates are similar to our views on Indigenous rights, housing policy, progressive tax, and climate change: uninteresting, leaving a lot to be desired. We hope this pleases you, your Majesty.”
