I'm taking the MMOanthropology krewe on an FFXIV house tour Sunday, Nov 15! We'll visit homes across Aether, from cozy cottages to wild venue builds. If you've decorated a place you're proud of, send me your world and address and we might stop by on stream. #FFXIV #FFXIVHousing
In today's interview with Jeagan2002, we went over his experiences in City of Heroes and what it takes to make it in the superhero MMORPG. The game has had its ups and downs, but the fanbase perseveres. #CoH #Homecoming youtube.com/watch?v=3Ur9y245…
Well. I had intended to update Star Trek Blackwell: Illex, but AO3 is down for a few weeks so they can handle some security issues. More power to them. I will get back on track with that as soon as it is resolved.
Farewell to Sir Patrick Stewart. May the Inner Light follow him into human memory and into the hereafter, as you are memorialized in film and television. We could always use more archaeologists on film and TV flying brilliantly into the stars. people.com/patrick-stewart-d…
Anthropic just filed its paperwork for what will probably become the largest IPO for a pure-play AI company to come, setting market expectations for the years to come siliconangle.com/2026/10/26/…
Farewell BioWare. I enjoyed your run, your games, and your company -- it was a long, strange journey, and I enjoyed the time we spent together. EA: As usual, you know my opinion. You're long-standing the most hated company in gaming. variety.com/2026/digital/new…
As usual, the Helldivers 2 community is hit-or-miss. Running into people who don't realize you can't always see chat when things are going on. Fortunately, you can view the last few people you played with and block them.
Holy crap. For real? I wrote about Star Citizen over a decade ago, and its single-player is finally on Steam with a potential release date. pcgamer.com/games/fps/squadr…
Now that is interesting news!
Game designer Richard Garriott has confirmed he will soon regain the rights to the influential RPG series Ultima from Electronic Arts.
"It means I could re-release the earlier Ultimas, but it also means I could sequel them."

I know it took me forever, but I finally wrote up the last 3 sessions with Kora and me in FFXIV. We have finally reached Black Mage for her. Any *advice* for young BLMs is welcome! Come read and help out. #FFXIV #MMORPG tumblr.com/sharedhorizons/82…

Building applications for fault-tolerant gate-model quantum systems should begin well before the hardware is available. In @thecubetv, @kytsune examines how D-Wave’s gate-model simulator beta enables that work. Built around our dual-rail technology, it allows organizations to test error-aware programs under realistic hardware constraints and prepare applications for forthcoming D-Wave gate-model systems. Error awareness brings the realities of future hardware into today’s development process. $QBTS #quantumcomputing

Just started publishing the first chapters of Star Trek Blackwell: Illex. This is the second in my fanfiction series about a medical cruiser that responds to catastrophic and strange mysteries. archiveofourown.org/works/93…

Meta staff DM'd me secretly
Posted with permission
Meta is ALLEGEDLY building their own Google search engine, so that if their AI does a web search it doesn't end up at Google, as Google could then use it for THEIR training, so they want their own web index that they will then use as their own Meta search engine for their AI
Interesting 🤔
Meta is doing heavy heavy heavy scraping on all my sites this week too (and seemingly everyone else's sites now)
So much so that I got load average alerts for it today on one VPS
The fact that they're hitting url2og (my own screenshot service for all my sites) might they're scraping not just text but images too, so maybe they're working on an image, video or just world model
P.S. these stats are just from url2og not even my other sites!
You're welcome @finkd but maybe I should start charging you for it with @cloudflare 😊
Although the new Guild Wars 3 theme is technically beautiful and excellent music of its own, it diverges from the Guild Wars origins in ways that may erase the identity earned by the franchise to date. We'll see where we end up as more is revealed. voxexmachina.com/news/set-ad…
It's always fun when devs leave in the architectural detritus of the work letting this strange liminal permeability become visible.
FF14's new zone has a creepy backrooms void tucked just underneath it pcgamer.com/games/mmo/ff14s-…

The adventure continues as Kora and I work our way further into FFXIV. I also thought a bit about what world and data center travel are like, although really the day got stolen by the early encounter with Hydaelyn, I mean "crystal mom."
