I still can’t believe this. It’s quite clearly total bullshit, but for this to be the fake reason he rolled with shows a remarkable lack of leadership & accountability. He could have made up anything, or said nothing. But he went full victim mode. It’s really pathetic.

the chapo/dirtbag stereotype of libs is often both uncharitable and inaccurate, but the reaction of many elite liberal lawyers to suggesting sotomayor retire show that it's basically right for lots of that specific subgroup

lol - getting pizza slice and the guy in front of me (trying to banter with the cashier) is like “you made mine with extra love right” and the cashier very solemnly and Eastern European accentedly said “it’s made with normal amount pepperoni”

my sims when i dont feed them:

I can’t imagine how gut wrenching it must be to devote years of your creative energy to something, only to never be allowed to finish it or even tell anyone what it was. It’s frequently brought up in interviews as the most painful aspects of game development. Awful.

It will not stop here. There is a concerted effort to remove ALL adult content from the internet, being pushed by payment processors and lawmakers in several states. And of course queer expression has been included in that 'content.'

Half of my friends who are into men right now: 'The guy with the burned face and no nose in the Fallout show is so hot I wish he would pin me up against the wall'

'someone leaked details of our game so we're cancelling the game and closing the studio and it's kinda your fault' is pretty wild spin

Help! My dog keeps hunting these little animals in my yard. I don't know if this is an endangered species. Anyone has tips on how to stop dogs from doing this?

the Strainsand effect

this is the nastiest, most petty and vindictive layoff notice i've ever read from a CEO, and that's actually a high bar to clear. this reasoning makes no sense either. looking forward to ethan's piece.

Just going to leave this great quote from the CEO of Possibility Space here...

Larian Studios has made history! trib.al/Lxe2vAF Larian Studios

Hard new this morning. My studio is shutting down. My team was awesome and I really enjoyed the time I had with them. Unfortunately I now find myself looking for art direction, character Art/lead roles.

In a bizarre studio closure and layoff message to staff, Possibility Space owner Jeff Strain blamed the studio closure on employees leaking information to the press.

I guess I’m glad the Strains are (ostensibly) stepping away from the games industry but it would be nice if they hadn’t ruined hundreds of people’s lives before that

why did rome fall? a lot of reasons, if you want anything more specific than 'what goes up must come down.' even within that array of reasons, what you choose to highlight is a reflection of your own concerns. climatic/environmental reasons are very popular now for some reason!
