I started playing Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare lately, because everyone seems crazy about it and I was wondering what I missed.

...So it's basically Team America: World Police but minus the puppets and humor, isn't it?

And then later the employees are in the backstore, writing on the whiteboard "un trio tabarnak = combo"

They know their audience has the same mentality as Logan Paul when he watched Oppenheimer. They're the McDonalds of cinema.

I would ask "ok and what's in it for me?" but they'd put me on a list.

Social media in a nutshell lol. The "so you hate waffles" tweet was actually very generous.

Never saw that clip before, it's perfect ๐Ÿ‘Œ

So many problems could be solved by just not giving a shit.

Ehh, close enough, considering it's from the 80s and/or 50s ๐Ÿ˜› Definitely not CIB tho.

I'm surprised they didn't write "As seen on Stranger Things" in the description or title.

Valve ain't perfect but I LOVE how they let us do that.

Anal Destination sounds like a great porn-slash-horror movie.

Guy scared of his own monsters.

Not for nothing, but when tf is the last time he interacted with an Indian anyway? I have mutuals from all over the world and even I don't have one from India (wouldn't mind tho).

So basically...

I like to say, when you're so rich you have no problems ever to any degree, life is so boring you have to create your own.

Fair enough. I was just curious, thanks for answering.

Are you arguing that art should not be used as a source of revenue? If so, my argument is; it's nice to be able to do what I love and also pay for my groceries. I wouldn't have enough time and energy to make games if I had to do an unrelated job 40 hours a week. Source; tried it, didn't work.

If anything, *I'M* sorry for not being able to support you guys more. Times are tough. Buying that one copy of issue 1 was pretty much the most I could afford, but it was absolutely worth it. Thanks for everything, you guys! You did great!

I love how he shows examples of both pixel art that works better on a CRT and pixel art that looks worse on one. Goes to show that intent, and the relationship between the art and the hardware, is more important than the medium itself, in the end.

Unfortunately, this is the kind of situation where you literally have to be like "it's me or your parents". And also be prepared to hit the bricks. It hurts, but it's better than a lifetime of gaslighting.

It looks like a delicious Crimbus mushroom and nothing else ๐Ÿ™ƒ

And the reason is not because you actually suck or anything like that; it's because they want to get rid of the competition.

Fuck the haters, rise to the top, king! ๐Ÿ‘‘

I mean, it's literally their browser lol.

Firefox hasn't let me down yet. I recommend AdNauseam as an ad blocker. It's a fork of ublock but it also fucks with the ad networks by tricking them to think you actually watched the ad.

Gotta cut down that tree at some point.

I guess they thought the machine in question is "illegal immigrants" or something lol

I honestly don't know what to think of this. Better late than never?

Also, great article! I honestly feel exactly the same way.

My personal opinion is, let's throw Ian Bogost in the garbage where he belongs.

Also it's very ironic how you could very easily use his own words to argue against the value of things like books and music.
