Gamers hate when anybody talks about real politics but capitalism is working the exact way it was designed and is going to price you out of gaming. You will own nothing. You will not be able to afford even borrowing the license. The companies making games are literally dying.

Cynthia Erivo talks to Variety about people joking about her being Ariana Grande’s “bodyguard” after she defended her from a red carpet intruder:
“I think that we haven’t really come to terms with the insidious nature of how we view Black women. And I’m sure people will read this and think, ‘Oh, for goodness’ sake, it’s not about that.’ But it is. Because that’s what was being made fun of. It was my physique; it was my shape; it was the fact that I was bald; it was about what I looked like. And because of that, there was this assumption that I was bigger than my co-star and so I had to be controlling or protecting, and that was my role. I would hazard a guess that it would not have been the same had it been the other way around.”

“They killed my mother — and before that, my brother. I urge everyone: do not go to the American aid distribution points soaked in blood. This bag only contains 2 empty flour sacks — nothing else — & yet they shot & killed my mother as she tried to get us something to eat today.”
amy madigan was good in weapons but it's still hard for me to believe this was the horror performance the academy was rallying for. toni collette in hereditary and lupita nyong'o in us were much more oscar worthy acting wise yet both got paid dust.
