Really worried for the midsized devs in their portfolio in the coming days and weeks. Also, if Bethesda were gonna try to buy themselves out from under this sinking ship, now's gotta be the time, right?

The fact that the only ms/Xbox letter mentioning Sarah Bond is Phil’s, along with the fact that she didn’t release a statement, suggests that this was all actually messy as hell, and the story is going to get out faster than leadership could plan for. Bush league shit.

recently watched an episode of Star Trek TNG with the Duras sisters, so I'm reposting this thing I drew in 2022

Honestly, Bethesda should buy themselves out from under Microsoft YESTERDAY. Microsoft Gaming is finished under that AI slopster.

Fact: Conservative "art" is an empty husk. The monkey's paw curls, and finally there's something AI could improve.

"In those days, Miyamoto would come to us at 11 PM, after he finished all of his board-member work, and say, "It's Mario time." At that point, we'd start a planning meeting that would run until 2 AM. At that point, Miyamoto would go home, leaving us with the words, "You should return home soon, for your health." Over the next two or three hours, we'd write the game design documents and summarize the instructions for our artists and programmers. 

It was the craziest crunch time that I've ever experienced in my development career. But if the God of Games was working so much, could we give up? Miyamoto had incredible stamina."

-Motoi Okamoto, Script and Mini-Game Director for Super Mario 64 DS, in a 2017 interview with Chris Kohler from Gamasutra

According to Motoi Okamoto, Mini-Game Director for Super Mario 64 DS, Shigeru Miyamoto would start midnight crunch sessions for the game's development by walking into the office and announcing "It's Mario time."

Hear me out: "Insultant".

It's like a consultant, but I get paid to tell you your stupid ideas are shit and to stop doing dumb things.

Sure reads like these Conservative wackos up here deeply admire what ICE is doing down there and would quite like their turn to hurt people they hate.

From their convention.

The Rumble in past years has been the litmus test to see whether or not I am going to pay attention to or watch WWE programming. Currently all I do is read the sheets.

I've watched every Royal Rumble, so I'm also gonna watch this one, even though I think it really sucks that the women's Rumble match will be brutal work for all of those athletes, having to be completely covered due to stupid Saudi laws.

This one hurts. Sanford and Son was one of the things my Dad bonded over when I was a kid, and later again when we reconciled briefly in my 20's.

May Demond Wilson rest in peace.

I finally picked up Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Paper Mario: TTYD on Switch, using vouchers one final time before they go away(BOOOOO NINTENDO, BOOOO)

Holy smokes is Echoes of Wisdom great. Took a little bit to realize it, but I'm really enjoying it.

And Paper Mario is the GOAT.
