i genuinely feel like im being edged

J. K. Rowling is now posting upskirt photos of trans women and making fat jokes about them. This is all because this woman blocked her on Twitter.

I hope this woman presses charges so fast it makes this bitch's head spin.

Reminder that if you're still engaging with Harry Potter, YOU ARE SUPPORTING ACTIVE SEXUAL ASSAULT.

You know, in light of this, I can't help but wonder if it's a good time to contact HBO and Scholastic and ask if they want their brands associated with a woman who commits sexual crimes.

i'll forever miss how the internet felt before you had to second-guess the authenticity of every single piece of media you came across. silly videos used to be just silly. fun was coincidental. wonder was just wonder. digital art had character and soul. AI has taken the taste out of everything and irreversibly poisoned the creative sphere and the people still pushing it forward are the doom of both joy and the quality of being.

washing dishes is evil because you go "oh fuck there's so many dishes this is gonna take foreverrr" and then you enter the dish abyss and emerge with your abdomen somehow covered in water and your hands all wrinky and then you look at the clock and what felt like half an hour was actually 10 minutes

And I’m supposed to act normal about Sam tending to Lara’s wound AND addressing the TRAUMA?!

Never getting over Charlie Kirk getting shot in the throat right after he uses it to downplay gun violence. Gotta be a top 3 assassination. Up there with Shinzo getting doohickey'd.

[foxgirlmindcrank]

It's on some straight up Greek play shit. Man who uses his voice to justify violence and stir evil for years meets his end as that very violence tears out his throat. Poetic. Captured live from multiple angles. People stole his blood soaked merch to hock and his wife was giddy about sale numbers during his funeral.

THE RESIDENCE  (2025—) 1x05 “The Trouble with Harry”

[salvadorbonaparte]

I wish I could go to a doctor and just list every single symptom I ever experienced no matter how small and unconnected they seem and the doctor is nice and patient and knows everything and they nod and smile and explain that every symptom I ever experienced is connected to like one rare and often overlooked issue that's sooooo easy to fix with like. a pill. and then I never have to worry about anything ever again.

Doesn't even have to be nice. Could be House MD about it. Just get it done.

Every time someone comments on my old fic, i feel like I'm an old actor getting paid residuals. Appreciate you, old-fic-commenters. Key source of emotional income, tbh.

Spelling mistakes? I guarantee neither of us saw those at 3:00 AM Monday Morning.

So I've just finished my first playthrough of Prey (2017) (over here if you're interested) and it is like.. okay for one thing now I have to join the ranks of everyone distraught that there can't be a sequel, and also just generally bummed out that it wasn't received like the masterpiece it is

and secondly. it wears its influence from bioshock on its sleeve. it's clear as day and affectionate with it. I spent the whole game talking about how lovely it was to just... get to play bioshock again.

but then in the final act of the game it becomes clear it's not just that. not just another stylish, midcentury-inspired game about injecting horrible bullshit into yourself to survive. it's not just the best bits of bioshock.

it's also the best bits of mass effect.

you know how the ME trilogy juggled huge concepts like ancient space species with unfathomable goals and mixed in oddities like prematurely expiring suns and harvesting human DNA and whatever. Prey is like taking out all the fluff in Mass Effect that didn't need to be there and then showing you the actual fear you should have felt at its concepts.

I didn't just get a loving retread of the best moments of Bioshock, I didn't just get a Bioshock that didn't waste its twist 2/3rds of the way through, I also got Mass Effect 3 done exactly right, horrifying and stunning in equal measure.

It doesn't get sidetracked by triple-A exploration, vehicle sections and concepts that felt cool in the boardroom, but crumpled under their own narrative weight versus a looming deadline. I reserve my highest praise for a game that knew what it was, what story it was telling, and restricts itself to excelling at that.

Please try out Prey if you liked either of those games. I've never seen such clear foreshadowing yet been utterly lost to explain how a story would end. This game should be a classic. This game should be considered Bioshock's sequel. It. Ruled.
