literally all I could think about while shane and yuna were having their Moment

you always see white americans talking about how they have "no culture" and it almost sounds like a harmless silly statement at first until you realize that leads into the very much harmful view of them being the default. the default character is a man who is white and lives in suburban america. and let me tell you you cant be thinking like that american baby

shocking how fast the tone of the conversation has turned from "fuck ai" to "well actually everyone is probably using it so i guess we should just throw our hands up and accept this terrible bargain. what else are we supposed to do, stop playing games?"

and well. yes. that is literally how it works. you withhold money from companies doing unethical shit and you criticize them publicly and you go elsewhere for your entertainment. games are not food or shelter or utilities, this isn't a "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism" scenario. there are plenty of indie studios and solo devs creating works of art by themselves without touching generative ai and supporting those smaller creators when the games industry is cratering is a net good: it supports them so that they can continue to create, it doesn't give money to companies who are using unethical business practices you want to see stopped, and it broadens your horizons past the latest big fandom game.

fomo isn't a good enough reason to just "oh well, all our favorite companies suck, i guess, so no point in taking a stand now that it's not just one or two." sorry. it's just not.

this post was written by a nonbinary atheist with a transbian sister in law. if you reblog my post you agree that trans rights are human rights.

What a difference a year makes at Larian.

I need everyone to know that Anne Rice and guy who started Popeyes (the fried chicken place not the cartoon) hated each other and once spent weeks/monthes taking out page length ads against each other in New Orleans newspapers because the Popeyes guy opened a tacky restaurant where Lestat was supposed to have died, or something like that

In case anyone thought I was kidding

[ayellowbirds]

why am i not at all surprised to read of Anne Rice being litigious about petty bullshit

[arquus-malvaceae-deactivated202]

It gets even better when you realize that, before the restaurant opened, it was an abandoned used car lot. She was literally complaining about an abandoned property being bought and actually USED for something. Because in Lestat’s final scene he walked by the car lot and looked at his reflection in one of the car windows.

[jennytrout]

I have never enjoyed anything more as I have enjoyed imagining Lestat’s reaction to learning that his final resting place is a restaurant owned by a fast food executive.

[gabesaportabiographer]

I bed everyone to read this article, which includes not only mr. Copeland writing “PS see you in court” but also anne rice writing AS LESTAT and thereby ADJUSTING “CANON” that lestat isnt in the restaurent bc it was so ugly it woke him from his slumpers

Anne Rice could gaf abt canon this is all amazing

[lestatthebiprince]

This is SUCH a Lestat thing to do though…Lestat most definitely would take an ad out in a paper to critize an ugly restaurant he believed didn’t suite the ambience of New Orleans . If that’s not Canon idk what is . I can see him looking across the street in horror and calling his lawyers while Louis just sits there done with life.

[lestatthebiprince]

This is the best part. It’s 2:00 Am and I’m losing my mind .

A softer moment for my favorite crusty neighbor (and an excuse to draw jellies!)

[nillial]

today the icebreaker question at work was "what are you dressing up as for halloween" and everyone's answers were "i don't think I'm dressing up this year" "i don't really dress up but my kid wants to be spiderman" "um i don't know maybe a zombie or something" and then it got to me and i had to be like "im being cloth mother and my roommate is being wire mother from the 1950s sociological experiment"

[ms-demeanor]

this made me laugh so hard that it triggered an asthma attack.

all media today is writers frantically trying to make their work idiotproof and then the audience frantically trying to make themselves better idiots

Plotting, scheming, etc.

This was filmed at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which rescues, rehabilitates, and releases orphaned elephants in Kenya (among other conservation efforts). Charity Navigator has given it a 4/4 star rating, and you can make donations here or “adopt” a baby elephant here.

THANK YOU FOR THIS IMPORTANT ADDITION.

I have enjoyed this video so much and am very happy to share ways to help the babies!!

[frustratedasatruar]

That man held it in until he knew for a fact that they’d need another take anyway, and not a moment less.
