This is truly stupendous news.

We're in a world where a lot of games don't actually end anymore so they aren't doing new runs for GOTY editions

I was wondering about this — it's not a huge amount of people but those dual-booting on an Ally/Legion Go/etc. might find this requirement pretty annoying if it does start to break some games.

It's too early for me to want to go off on all these em dash haters.

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.”

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

I wonder, if he'd known there'd be three of these, if the first might have gone a little differently lol

Just now watched the Direct — lost it when Square decided to mention its player survey. If you guys like the demo, just wait! Sometime after that, a big beautiful survey is coming your way!

This.

I cannot emphasize enough how influencer and hustle culture have completely changed the internet from "weird and wonderful things people make for the heck of it" to algorithm chasing joylessness.

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.
