Wizards of the Coast should bring back the Magic Player Rewards program. #MTG

What's your favorite flavor text on a card?

There's something simultaneously awesome, snarky, and infuriating about this one.

It's ironic how the plot of Hi-Fi Rush is that it's about teaming up to take down a megacorporation and Tango Gameworks just got shutdown

Congrats Microsoft, You proved the game right

You own a farm that yields a bountiful crop. It makes you millions. You're not 100% sure that it'll make you infinitely more money next year

So you shut down the farm
evict all the farmers
and set the fields aflame

You've done it. You've maximized the shareholder value

The $375,000,000 Microsoft payout to known dog scum Bobby Kotick, could pay for the estimated salaries of both Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks employees combined for the next 17 and a half years

if shareholders weren't punished for doin' a late capitalism to boeing nobody is going to protect any of the things that make life worth living. if they don't care about looting american civil and military aviation they don't care about you

If making Hi-Fi Rush isn't enough to keep a studio alive, nothing is. Nobody is safe so long as they're owned by a mega-corp.

Which, hey... That's part of the game's core message too.

Hey, so fuck Microsoft

So—the studio that made a well-performing, well-received, and award-winning game got shut down out of nowhere because (checks notes) it wasn’t making a priority game?

If AAA isn’t performing well, don’t kneecap the AA & indie studios that are helping to keep the industry afloat!

Besides Magic, I play D&D and will try other systems, am starting the Digimon TCG, watch a fair amount of vtubers, sing in a video game music choir, play video games, read some manga, collect posters of pretty anime, gaming, and vtuber ladies, and want to get back into fencing!

I see a lot of people ask why companies buy these devs only to shut them down. You need to understand that the people at the top are literally just gambling using companies as chips, they're not any smarter than you or me, and they fully believe in the rightness of their actions.

Bro I'm so tired. I'm so so tired of this. What's the point of working your ass off, succeeding at creating a game that everyone loves and is financially successful, only to get fucking vaporized to juice some stocks. Like why even bother man?

your reminder that there is no U.S. secretary of the arts despite it being a larger % of GDP than transportation and agriculture

The last few days of watching Sony gut Helldivers 2 is a grim reminder of the pitfalls of working with a publisher. Make sure you know what you're getting into before signing your game away.

There are good publishers out there and we've seen them kick a lot of ass for indies.…

Look at my adorkable oshi, Sayu Sincro//Nisity🔩: her new model makes her looks like a GBA character sprite and it makes me happy. So glad that she is thriving.

just a reminder:

-photoshop costs $263 A YEAR

-clip studio paint is a one-time price of $54 (and regularly goes on sale for like $40 something)

-procreate is a one-time price of $13

both clip studio and procreate have robust art- and comic-making tools that surpass photoshop

Reorganizing my collection and I found this print by Allison McKenzie Art that I bought when she visited Seattle for GeekGirlCon 2018.

It single-handedly made me a lifelong fan of her art and started my money-sink hobby of print-collecting.

Please go support her and her works!

You have to understand, Gen Z is not going to back down.

They lost every teen milestone to the pandemic. They went to high school scared of being shot. They are inheriting a burning planet.

What are we gonna threaten them with, taking away their reproductive rights?

Anyway, most of you are now experiencing the same feelings I have towards a majority of the Secret Lair drops and, lemme tell you, I feel so vindicated.
