a bloo bloo

an american football/basketball version of Football Manager would be pretty great. Seems to be more of a Euro phenomenon in the mainstream though, these heavy simulation games.

I like the analysis of games as service and the spooky implications of the technology at play but... this ain't a review of the game, really. 

sounds like Mario Galaxy might be finally accessible to people with disabilities? Pretty fucking Nintendo of them to pull the only accessible version of it after a limited time offer.

totally understand.

having his name dragged through the mud by absolute psychopaths has nothing to do with “fame”

Parasocial relationships and the toxic behavior it enables is truly wild
