Dangerous Sam Smith

Looks like I won't get my pre-order of All Tomorrows either. What a mess. Just once I'd like to see the people in charge suffer for this shit

Can confirm I was definitely a broke-ass weirdo when I was a games journalist. The idea that any of us were on the take is so fucking funny

Tokon looks INCREDIBLE holy shit. So many mechanics! Having to build up your team with throws and wall breaks is the only thing I’m unsure of, but man the rest looks amazing

Hulk Hogan ratted out other wrestlers attempting to unionize to save his own position and paycheck above anyone else's & gladly accepted funding from Peter Thiel for his Gawker court case that paved frequently abused legal precedents for the rich to shut down any media outlets that embarrass them.

if you go to bed, hulk hogan will die.

Very funny that Hogan's final WWE appearance was getting booed out of the state

It's a real shame Hogan destroyed his own legacy by being an awful person but oh well

Still gutted about Ozzy. Probably will be for a long time. Without metal I have no idea who I would be, and there's no metal without him.

Without Ozzy, none of the music I listen to would exist. RIP big man. Does someone have to bite his head off now

It's Friday

hehe someone put George Carlin audio over Splinter from TMNT's live show

Red/White has always been my favourite. Red/Blue is great too. A splash of red makes any deck fun.

It's Friday

Slayer are the best band of the big 4 and it isn’t close

SLAYERRRRRRRRRRRRR

The scaling and budgeting of Western AAA development has gotten utterly absurd. We desperately need new people in charge.

“We don’t actually need to fire you but if we do we can make EVEN MORE money” - Phil Spencer

How the fuck are Microsoft the ones out a shite Doom game this year and instead it is John Romero is the one who gets all his funding cut and has to lay off all his staff?

Disgusting and devastating. This should not be allowed to happen. You upset John Romero and his cool wife, you have gone TOO FAR

I am sure that laying off the most skilled people, with otherwise unobtainable insight from decades of experience in game production, will somehow make games cost less to develop and by extension purchase.

Looks sick man, can’t wait

“If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease, and I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be able to develop software titles that could impress people around the world” - Satoru Iwata

seeing people hit by the layoffs today who have worked in the industry for DECADES. one guy had worked on fucking STAR WARS GAMES FOR THE SNES, another had been at blizzard since starcraft.

that kind of continual experience in the industry is like gold dust, and MS are just throwing it in the bin

Gutted for friends and ex colleagues affected by this. These “changes” aren’t about ‘efficiency’ or
‘streamlining’; they’re executive level failures being offloaded onto workers. This isn’t just mismanagement, it’s hugely exploitative and somehow it’s always the talent that pays the price.
