Checked out Silent Hill Ascension last night and yeah, was not impressed and doubt I'll look at it again.

Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win

From the article, quoting Judge Corley:

... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

AEW Fight Forever Digital Foundry Review

I've been strongly considering picking this up. I was a big fan of Yuke's old WCW games on N64 and this seems to really lean into that lineage.

@minimar
All for new IP, though I have to say that I bounced off of Outriders pretty much immediately.

Techdirt Podcast 354 - Yoel Roth joins to discuss content moderation on decentralized platforms

Yoel Roth is the former head of Trust & Safety at Twitter and now a Tech Policy Fellow at UC Berkeley. This episode does a pretty good job, I think, of pointing out the strengths and challenges of moderation on the fediverse and other decentralized systems. Great listen for anyone interested in this sort of stuff.

#TuneTuesday : #ThatIsActuallyGood - A song you like from a band you pretend not to like (darkfriend.social)

#TuneTuesday : #ThatIsActuallyGood - A song you like from a band you pretend not to like

Share a song from a band that you pretend not to like. This week’s theme comes from @derthomas

Tune Tuesday is a weekly prompt to share music. Each week there is a new theme pulled by @Kitty and a corresponding hashtag. This is mostly on Mastodon, but thanks to the power of federation I can tag @music here and share it to the Music community at Beehaw.org.
