I'm streaming some Magic with the folks at Monolith for #EXTRALIFE. Come join us. extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuse…

It's a tragedy that we better remember humiliations than triumphs.

This tiny indie is being review bombed for being trans inclusive. Go support them. store.steampowered.com/app/2009860/?s…

Because I apparently have to post things here or lose this account, I'll just leave this here without comment.

Hey everyone, I know I rarely use this, but given the takeover I’ll be closing this account soon. Find me on other social networks (or just say hi in the comments on EC).

@dandr0id_ I listen to soooo many audiobook (thanks public library <3 ), but there's elements to the written word that I feel I miss out on (and thus don't improve on in my own writing) with audiobooks. Plus I just want the discipline back to go sit and read a book ; )

When I was young I used to read for hours at a time...now I find it hard to read for even a half hour without checking my phone. #thingstoworkon

@AndyLonn For individuals that's true, but for business (where a huge % of oil consumption comes from) thrive on margins and they were already seeing profits on the horizon in the renewables space.

@JamesPortnow No money to invest in alternatives if you have to pay top dollar for essentials

Doesn't OPEC doom themselves in the long run by keep prices high here (as it's going to encourage more nations to finally look for oil alternatives)?

To be fair to the government, they're investing in studying terrorist/extremist groups in Roblox to come up with broad anti-terrorism/extremism policies as turnkey solutions that game companies can implement from the get-go.

Today on The Dystopia We Live In: The Department of Homeland Security just invested in counter terrorism/anti-extremism…in Roblox.

@Azereki Fantastic! Conjuring I'd kept up on but I hadn't found the time to dig into the rest.

Where did all the monster/supernatural horror films go (alien/the thing/the exorcist). It seems like most modern horror films are just about people torturing each other...

@ThargeretMatcha I thought it was more a Tekken style fighter but, I confess, it's been a while, I could totally be misrembering it.

The tragedy of Nintendo owning The Pokémon Company is that we'll never get the all Pokémon Smash Bros competitor we all know we secretly want...

It's weird that almost no gaming news/announcements came out of PAX this year. Guess the industry has moved on to Gamescom.

I'm on midjourney and just legitimately typed: /imagine dragons

For most people a midlife crisis involves buying a fast car or dating someone younger. I'm pretty sure mine is going to be level capping in Everquest and finally reading all of Wheel of Time...

2 But it's simpler than that. Why are we playing defense on a subject that on a _purely pragmatic_ level is clear? Almost every historical example shows us that when the level of education in a society increase so does its prosperity. EDUCATION SHOULD BE FREE.

1 To clarify: I spent a lot of my 20s working 10 hour days to pay off my student loans. I also spent a lot of my 20s working enforced crunch on games that, frankly weren't worth it. Why would I want anyone else to have to go through either of those things just because I did?
