This whole interview rocks

there were countless industry trends in this game's way, and they all played their part, but internal mismanagement remains undefeated in killing video games

Rainbow capitalism will not save us. Absolutely driving me bonkers that some LGBTQ orgs are celebrating Lyft giving a $10 discount for “trans joy” in the face of Kansas’ human rights abuses as some sort of magnanimous positive and not just meaningless culture war corporate performativity.

FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS

Early in my copyright career I had a complex, nuanced take on the ethics of piracy. Now I'm like, fuck it, pirate copies are perhaps the main way any copies of corporate-owned media (esp tv/movies) are gonna persist through unrestrained corporate looting, have at it.

Bill Clinton is smiling while looking back through old Epstein photos & nodding over memories His attorney snatches them out of Bill's hands.

Bill smiling

I always smile at photos of me with a sex trafficker when I hate sex trafficking

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

anyone choosing this moment to be all "here's what you get with republicans: bombs in the middle east" needs to grow up rapidly, considering what the last dem admin did in gaza & their current support for trump's actions right now. this is what you get with (wholly bipartisan) american imperialism

two men: the blowjob brothers
three men: tonight on top gear
four men: weezer

also an extremely important reminder that if you are a successful game developer, whether this is fair or not, you have to proactively and emphatically speak out against antiwoke nonsense. any silence on your part will become tacit endorsement, a vacuum filled by the far right

Every few years I go back thinking now is the time that I will finally understand its secret genius and I always quit after like three hours.

The fact that enemy hit reactions are rng based is the single biggest problem of modern action Resident Evil.

One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.

Very interesting to see Expedition 33 analyzed in the context of French history & politics. Turn on those subtitles and listen to voices from all across the world - they'll expand your horizons and help you grow.

After 9 yeareals, it's finally my turn to post the "a thousand cereals" clip, seeing as how I'm the idiot who made it.

I was laughing because it was so bad.

It's a moment that could never have been amazing, because these two characters have zero history together.

It's just fanslop

This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.

Daughter Games and Wife Games are an interesting thing. they always come after, never before, the games centered on the men in a story—as if they have to ask for permission to exist

that doesn't stop a certain sector of absolute fucking babies from whining about the fact that they exist, period

Please just make an argument about the game and stop trying to interpret my own feelings while ignoring anything I see that doesn't fit some weird preconception you have about me.

God I fucking hate when people burst into my comments thinking they know how I feel about a game better than I do.

Writing is hard. Writing is great. Writing sucks. I love writing. I wish I could stop writing. I cannot stop writing. Please help. Please leave me alone, I have another 3 pages to get through. Please read my work. Please never perceive this garbage I've created. Respect me. Ignore me.

Every professional translator I know has the same position on this and can easily explain the reasons for it when asked. The fact that executives don't even bother to ask and force translators to work on AI/MTL slop regardless makes it clear where their priorities lie: money trumps quality.

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace

"I hope you die" is weak. "I hope that obscure Japanese-only game you wanna play gets a fan translation done entirely by ChatGPT" is way more hurtful. It's real. It could happen to anyone.

Jackson @tree_bro Follow *knocks on door* Mrs Smith? I'm from Army. Your son got owned in Iraq. He showed great valor in the face of epic fail. Semper fi or whatecer 4:20 PM • Jul 22, 2011

This tweet preceeds and anticipates deaths in Operation Epic Fury by almost 15 years

Premium actually has that feature now lol

i have no personal involvement here but i have been working on a theory as i observe discourse around marathon and all other live service shooters and it can be summed up as this: everyone just wants to play team deathmatch
