It can be pleasing to inhabit a fiction where all the pieces are smoothly bolted together, working in lockstep. But teaching people to favour the consistency of imaginary worlds may also teach them to vilify disagreement and the entire practice of interpretation.

I can sometimes feel this pressure when running a tabletop game in a big setting like 40k or Star Wars. Can't imagine how magnified that is when you're working on something thousands of people with play, let alone in a fan base with such obnoxious reactionaries in the mix

100%. If you have $5-10 bucks to throw to the Democrats you could instead toss it to someone who actually needs it, like the UNRWA, or a local gofundme

Logitech is axing the Blue Microphones name in favor of Yeti, the name of one of Blue's most popular mic series. Yeti mics will live under the broader Logitech G umbrella of PC peripherals and accessories historically aimed at gamers and streamers.

"We will be keeping the Yeti brand and moving it under Logitech G. The Blue name will be used to describe our technologies (e.g., our BLUEVO!CE filters that we offer on select Logitech G headsets)," Logitech said via Reddit on Thursday, as spotted by The Verge.

"Logitech G Yeti" is a bit of a mouthful to remember in comparison but at least the mics aren't going away for good.

And with it goes me using Reddit, too. The official app is just sooooo bad and I barely check Reddit on my computer.
