Yahtzee’s relationship to The Escapist is the epitome of “you need me more than I need you.” That site just scored the biggest own-goal in games media by losing him, and by all accounts they deserve the L. Good luck, Yahtzee, not that you’ll need it. 💛

Pretty much every good game site went to hell after some shit company bought them. Sometimes I miss writing for them before remembering there are barely any independent voices left. I remember being told by the Escapist’s last owners that outspoken voices weren’t their future.

The best sites were built off personalities that drew audiences. Corporations hate that, because they think “The Brand” should be the draw, not individuals with their own opinions and ideals. This is why they believe A.I. can replace their staff. “The Brand” is what matters.

These ignorant fuckwads fail to understand that “The Brand” was built by the very people they ousted when they bought said brand. It’s like they’ve got a curse out of a Greek tragedy - doomed to see the value of things, but never the context of *why* they’re valuable.

Finally on to "bluer skys" Same handle (without the _)

I just realized the high profile LongCovid patients who have been unmasked & Back to Normal since 2021 (who can’t figure out why they are always sick) aren’t going to listen to other patients, & they’re going to center & promote the establishment & the policies that got us here.

It feels hopeless when you realize everyday people will continue to be ignored, as the privileged who are newly sick climb to the top of the pile, talking out of their asses & offering false hope, guarding the status quo like attack dogs, ensuring nothing ever changes.

Endless corruption in Saskatchewan #skpoli Steve Boots (Inactive)

So many of these people aren't actually interested in politics, they are interested in being cruel and bullying people and wanted a morally righteous excuse to do so. At least online trolls know they are being pieces of shit, they simply don't care.

THIS “Sask. people have sent over 30,000 emails to government in less than three weeks… When this government received 18 letters from parents this fall, they called an emergency session of the legislature to invoke the notwithstanding clause and circumvent the constitution.”

If Government of Saskatchewan elects to ignore 30,000 emails in a 3 week period it will forfeit any future claim to be responsive to citizen input

A Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation sit-in Jeremy Cockrill constituency office earlier this afternoon was brought to an end after the RCMP Saskatchewan was called in to remove people. #saskedu

Well, so much for Threads. I can no longer post, reply, or even see other replies. Not sure what happened, but nothing loads now. Hive and Mastadon are both Dead, and only 5 people appear to be on blue sky. After all this twitter still seams to be the most reliable...

It is unacceptable that public school teachers in our province are forced to battle for essential classroom complexity issues to be addressed, while the government goes to great lengths to ensure a school like Legacy Christian Academy remains open. #legacyofabuse #skpoli

⚠️ BREAKING COVID Deaths Surge to Highest in Five Months in UK; Expert Urges Masking COVID-19 deaths in the UK have reached a five-month high, with hospital admissions also rising Experts are urging everyone to 'mask up' to curb the spread.

They got rid of data in 2022 so we could pretend the pandemic is over for the 2024 election. I wish people understood this. We just ignored a RECORD summer wave. Winter is coming. It’s a cull, save yourselves.

Just a reminder that the Canadian government petition on addressing the issue of games being destroyed ends tomorrow. We're well over the minimum threshold needed for a response from Parliament, but more certainly won't hurt: ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P…
