The petitions have gotta stop.
EA literally doesn’t care. Do you know how much pushback and complaints they get about how Sims4 is handled? A lot; nothing has changed and that is one of their biggest titles.
Seriously, I’m no fan of McGee, but let the man mourn in peace. All of this hashtag save alice stuff just feels a little naive and maybe even a bit selfish.
It’s done. It’s over. EA holds the keys and isn’t giving them up. They will not sell, they will not fund. McGee is contracted to not make another Alice inspired project. He’s dead, Jim.
I get it, I’ve been an Alice fan since I was seven, before I even really knew what I was absorbing. She’s the reason I started dying my hair red (she was a redhead in the first game), I’ve gotten so much creative enrgy and inspiration from the game. I’m planning on legally changing my name to Alice some day. I get it. She’ll always have a place in my heart.
Hold EA responsible, send the emails, boycott if you want, but be realistic, and be compassionate to her dev team. McGee’s had enough; don’t beat a dead horse.
I think it would be far more productive to have conversations about creators having to sell the figurative soul of their projects to have a chance at making them, or the predatory behavior of big publishing companies like EA and the negative effects that has on gaming as a creative medium, or even making unions more accessable to protect devs and their teams when publishing companies demand crunch time or full rights to projects.
We can’t save Alice, but having these conversations can maybe save someone else’s project.

No bc why are we starting to be like the other shitty clubs? I thought we were better but alas…I miss the innocence of your where we didn’t know about all the shady background activities.
The idea of Barca being "more than a club" has been hollow for quite a long time now. When Cruyff left Barca, so did the essence of the club and after he passed away, Barca became just another shady ass political hellhole instead of the holy football center it used to be. Not acknowledging the mess that's Barca or being just completely oblivious won't make this club any less messed up than it is. Barca died in 2016 and since then it has been a hollow shell of the beautiful club it used to be. There's a reason Pep Guardiola left this club even though he fucking loves it. He knew how shady and snakey the people running the scene were. And Leo felt the same in 2020. Despite his undying loyalty to Barca, he wanted to leave because he also understood that Barca is no longer what it used to be. So in a way, Barca is just like other clubs - a politics-based snake pit.

In context: One of the scariest jump scares in cinema history.
Out of context: Am I the only one who thinks that Xenomorph just wanted a hug?

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????
i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.
so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.
