  • Last year EFF started a series of articles on the Public Interest Internet. Championing the alternatives to for-profit internet seems more important now that ever.

    "[T]here remains a wider, more diverse, and more generous world. Often run by volunteers, […] sometimes tiny, often local, but free for everyone online to use and contribute to, […] and inspired the earliest, most optimistic vision of its future place in society."

  • This mural is tucked away in a parking area on Yale Street, but is one I'll run past when I remember to visit it.

  • Softcult – “Someone2Me”

    The new single from Softcult is a send up of incels in the form of a supreme shoegaze song and its video uses a vampire to represent the very real threat from incels and other abusers.

  • Growing up in rural Nova Scotia, I didn't have a local library I could visit, but I did have the magic of a bookmobile. The bookmobile, a bus filled with books, would visit on a reliable schedule and stepping onto it was a wonderful experience. I remember vividly browsing the shelves and choosing a pile of books to take home. It was on the bookmobile that I found Asterix and Tintin volumes and cemented my lifelong love of comics.

    @apollo @Jyoti What's the game?

    I played Infinite. I didn't cry but it was a gripping and emotional experience.

    The game that's given me the most visceral experience recently is Gris. The whole way through I was like "holy shit, they can do that?". Finished it in one long sitting.

    @s @Jyoti The game I'm playing is Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

  • I passed through Guangzhou airport 4 years ago on the way to spend the holidays in the Philippines and this spacesuit was a highlight.

    Well, my fave is (though there's some well dodgy middle-of-the-roadness going on politically) as the story is the most beautiful for me.

    BUT the first is a justified classic. The second is okay, just not my cup of tea.

    Infinite, though… it stays with me, it echoes through me as much as any novel or film. It's true art.

    WARNING – I had to pause it several times to go and have a cry.

    @Jyoti I've been warned the game I'm playing now will have me in tears by the end. That's so rare in games from my experience, but I'd welcome that from back to back games for sure.

  • Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was my game of the year. No other game released this year has drawn me in like it did. The story, gameplay, astounding world, and quality of life elements were unmatched. Nothing else came close.

    @Jyoti I've never played any BioShock game, though I've downloaded them for Switch. Maybe when I get through Xenoblade Chronicles 3 I'll have one of them queued up. Would you recommend either of the sequels as a good starting point or is the first game the way to dive in?
