sounds like a school that REALLY liked students with rich parents

you know we would have much smarter discourses on if games are art if non gaming outlets regularly hired people who wrote about games for a living instead of leaving all 63619137220 of them to fend for themselves in the unemployment mines

"are video games art" discourse on the timeline, 63 wounded 184 dead

i will never stop. i cannot be stopped

you have to savor the small things in life during the fall of the republic. for me, it’s being able to read my old articles on kotaku without having to squeeze past 15 ads at once

Tweet reading: It's maddening because it's mainly far right politicians talking about this in the UK, so we're watching people fall down the alt right pipeline in real time because they do care about this and are shocked by it 😬 desperately need more left wing voices talking about this

holy shit i’m not being taken to a different page if i scroll down too far???

ohhh that first one is good

once i saw someone go into shock from some low blood sugar issue and a nurse on the subway immediately did emergency aid, someone told the conductor to stop at the next station, and everyone was contributing whatever candies they had on them. anyway this city is awesome

whenever people bemoan that ao3 has too much yaoi on it i’m just like shut the fuck up and cook your own damn food that’s how any of this works

doing fake nails for the first time and omg how is anyone typing on their phones in these

ho-oh card without art

a five pull of sentret, ariados, marill, jynx, and ho-oh

LMAOOO GUYS i actually pulled the rare ho-oh alt card that got its art placeholdered because of suspected tracing on the part of the artist 😭

nobody tries to explain the play-doh worlds in mira and that’s exactly how it should be

LIVE SERVICE GAMES ARE NOT INHERENTLY BAD OR DOOMED TO FAIL.

LIVE SERVICE GAMES MADE WITH SINGLE-PLAYER PREMIUM EXPERTISE IS DOOMED TO FAIL.

kind of want to write a gaming industry blog post that's just

"I know your executives want to make a live service game but YOU SHOULD NOT MAKE A LIVE SERVICE GAME UNLESS YOU'VE MADE A LIVE SERVICE GAME BEFORE OR HIRE PEOPLE WHO HAVE AND PUT THEM IN CHARGE OF DECISIONS"

loving a less popular character and having to look at fanart of ships i don’t even like:

i was telling my group chat that this shooting is proof that we need to make manhattan more hostile to cars because driving is how he snuck an assault rifle into midtown

and oh look, interviews with named, reputable industry sources rather than a vague “most experts”

hire gaming journalists, folks

to be fair axios tried before the sudden hiring freeze lmao

honestly i think all the time about how unhinged ethan could have been with times reach, resources, and lawyers

for those unfamiliar, this is a bit like if someone stated an AI takeover for the film industry is imminent and backed it up with "jurassic park included a fully cgi t-rex in 1993"

twine is fine on mac (sorry i will never run unity on a mac)
