Based on a (somewhat blurry) example I got, Meta's new app looks a lot like Twitter.

So, could this take over all the Twitter screenshots we've been seeing on the Feed lately? Maybe.

Itโ€™s impossible to predict how audiences will respond but this could be an alternative.

Metaโ€™s been briefing creators on itโ€™s upcoming text-based app โ€” now looking at a possible late June launch.

Details are in my newsletter but Iโ€™ll list some highlights ๐Ÿงต

Why does the pervert need to exist? It only ever seems to make good characters worse and make already annoying characters insufferable

An Xbox game review titled (deaf gamer review) and it says:<br>Thank you, you have no idea how much it means to me being able to see my kids words on screen as they talk into a mic. I only wish other game helped me out a little. But SEEING "RUN mom a spiders chasing you" made me feel included, even though I died.

@KaylaAncrum zootopia would work so much better if it was like, lions and tigers in conflict or something instead of the predator/prey dynamic, which is...problematic for obvious reasons

I feel like this Disney movie almost does a better job with the allegory of Zootopia

New #Destiny2 survey asks players if they'd like to see space combat, offline progression, single-player content (and more) in the game.

At 1.4ยข/GB, did you know that it would take only 70 8GB videos per month to make Twitter Blue a money losing proposition?

Gamers (with a capital G) are too dumb to even figure out who they're harassing

@ABC7NY Why not invest in safety barriers for the platforms instead?!
Goes to show theyโ€™re more interested in the money their losing than the lives theyโ€™re losing. ๐Ÿ˜ค

Every other AAA game is afraid of putting a number in their title (Mortal Kombat, God of War, Horizon Forbidden West, Zelda Tears) probably for aesthetics and meanwhile Final Fantasy is out here like the Super Bowl

Also, the original vision for Galaxy's Edge was way more interactive - much closer to the Starcruiser. They came up with a cast of original characters, like Vi Moradi and Harkos the bounty hunter who would have interactions with guests.

Vi Moradi
Harkos
End up on Harkos's list and you may face a problem if you show up at the local cantina.




Vi Moradi was originally going to be the one that gave you your mission summary on Rise of the Resistance before they decided to use Rey instead. She made it into the parks as a walk around character, but doesn't really have any specific thing to do or tie to the land?

Meanwhile poor Harkos is... well, I guess it's hard to put people into prosthetics for what Disney pays its character actors.

Harkos has yet to be seen in the land.




But it's okay: they have made every vendor, janitorial crew member, and ride operator invent a Star Wars "character!"

They don't need bespoke characters with backstories! They can just have Drink Cart Steve greet you with "Bright Suns" as a Batuu native and boom! LIVE THEATER

They still know how to do some good old fashioned Star Wars hacked together and greebled design - it's all over Galaxy's Edge, and the kid's Star Wars room on the Wish. So this plastic look is an intentional choice, for whatever reason.

Some off the hip thoughts:

The Starcruiser never properly managed to look like Star Wars. Disney Star Wars has actively moved away from the grunge and towards a sort of... flat white plastic style that's on display at the Starcruiser and also the Star Wars bar on the Wish.

WHAT THE EFFING F!!! I don't understand anything about networks.

As you know, Google shook the beehive that is infosec by providing a .zip domain. The community has exploded in outrage over the fact that this makes a lot of phishing-style attacks easier.

Graphics in games are the biggest psy-op ever, made by console and pc parts companies to sell you better hardware to play same looking titles with artificially raised requirements by stuff like hairwork or raytracing
