Man i feel really bad for the guy who wrote this article because the article actually manages to raise a very very very good point but the way the headline is phrased completely omits 95% of what they were trying to say
And because i know people won’t even bother to click and check the article itself i’m gonna screencap it, it’s fairly short, give it a read:
tl;dr: the article’s point isn’t “corporate satire is not funny anymore as in “we should stop making fun of corporations””, the article’s point is “corporate satire is not funny as in “it’s extremely depressing to live in a capitalistic hellhole and corporate satire aims more to poke fun at that without actually making you think about our world or giving you hope for a better future, and therefore it’s just lost its bite””

I'm missing some cutscenes (and couldn't find most of my TFS recordings/screenshots for the life of me) but it was so cathartic putting this collage together. Made so many memories with this guy.
I have a callus on my left middle finger from long hours on the controller playing Destiny 2. D2 was a reprieve when work got too overwhelming, especially when I was in a really toxic former job. It was truly a comfort game for me, and though I've been gone since EoF, I do feel the gap still.
It was the first game I ever pre-ordered (impulsively too). I'd always wanted to play D1 but I didn't have any friends to play with, and by the time I was comfortable joining alone, I felt too behind so I gave up. I started D2 as a solo player anyway, and it still felt fulfilling alone.
I loved the whimsy, the comradery and the kindness of blueberries over the years. When I started sharing my D2 art and then befriended other D2 players in the community, I finally got to experience dungeons and raids and I'll forever be grateful for everyone I've had a chance to play with.
It was also the D2 art community that pushed me to make more art, more AMBITIOUS art and I grew so much as an artist because of the inspiring creators in this community: artists, 3D artists, cosplayers, writers. We all love this world so much, we want to expand it and share our love for it.
And the D2 community itself is so receptive and appreciative of its creatives in a way I never experienced before that (coming from smaller games and communities who barely care about fan works). When my first comic blew up I was so touched, and then... It just happened again and again. I felt seen.
I loved sharing my fan art and fan comics with you all over the years. I loved connecting with D2 players from all walks of life with jokes, shared experiences, and recent story beats. I loved reading comments on twitter, Reddit and Tumblr. I was honoured to have my art featured in the TWAB/TWID.
And Ceph. He started out as a nameless warlock whom I drew exactly like his character-creator self. It was the D2 art community that inspired me to make him whoever I wanted him to be. He is my most precious OC and I'm thankful for the time D2 let me spend with him.
I have no plans to stop drawing Ceph. He may be a bittersweet reminder of the 9 years I've spent with D2, but he grew into a character who has become more to me, and I'm so honoured any time anyone expresses that they like seeing my art of him. So you will keep seeing him!
It wasn't always sunshine & rainbows with D2, but I don't regret the time I spent with it. I'm so grateful to the devs who poured their love into this game; it shows in every aspect. Thank you! ❤️
I'm unreasonably excited for Jade Shadows: Constellations. As a Garuda enjoyer, I want to know more about her Protoframe. The Warframe Garudais defined by her aloofness, but Vena seems to revel in bloodlust. I'll be booking it to the Third Orb Mother's remains for the Garuda lore, too.

Inquisition's open world is exhausting to you. I play it like it's stardew valley gathering herbs, mining rocks, killing monsters in dungeons, fulfilling requests and frolicking in the woods then going back to Skyhold to kiss my spouse, greet the neighbors, bother my mysterious mage of unknown origin and get my gear upgraded by the blacksmith. And at the end of the day, we all gather in the saloon for drinks, music and banter.
I love The Hinterlands. There, I said it! It's not just gorgeous; but, full of hidden stories. Plus, I feel like my Inquisitor actually made a difference to help people.
It wasn't just kill local animals. We fed hungry refugees.
It wasn't just find caches. We kept displaced families keep warm during cold nights.
It wasn't just close rifts. We opened travel routes, so people could go home and start rebuilding their lives.
We earned goodwill, and helped bolster the organization. Boots on the ground, then back to home base for friendship, budding romance and tasty drama!
Like a month ago I messaged a craft group about accessibility for wheelchairs and the answer I got was “there’s a lot of stairs but we have cute boys who can carry you”.
And it’s…not good. As a wheelchair bound person I largely depend on people when I want to go out and do *anything* so I’m used to it, I laugh it off, make an annoyed post about it and off I go. But I wanna just say a thing real quick.
Even if I wasn’t gay, wasn’t a survivor scared of men, getting help as a disabled person is just…Not a pleasant thing to us! Imagine for a sec how you’d feel being carried up a flight of stairs. You’re a grown person. You’re being touched in an awkward way. You’d rather do it yourself. You’re So Uncomfortable. It’s not where I look for the beginning of a romantic relationship.
So like…could abled people stop doing this thing where they think helping us in a condescending and infantilizing way is cute? Cause I’m real tired. Just get me a ramp or lift and I’m cool. I don’t need a dating service when I’m just trying to go about my day
I love when romanceable videogame charas have a friendship version of the romance scenes.... i love you can eat cookies with sera in the roof and they are "inquisition cookies" instead of "us cookies"... i love that you can spend the night with gale telling him he doesnt need to sacrifice himself and he is like "fuck you for bringing me friends and adventures now i dont want to die" thats the good stuff... i love that if you don't do the romance you get different convers that add a lot to how the character acts with a good friend, instead of just "oh well you didn't date them so no special bonding for you in friendship either"
I love, love, love Mesa's battle stance while using Peacemaker when she's not sending masses of enemies to the shadow zone. It exudes power, and charisma. She's going to yee haw you, partner!
