Anyone who abandons NaziTwitter after today is officially slower to change than Debian.

Red Dead Redemption 2.

OK hear me out.

Sure the game’s setting predates the Nazis and there are none to kill in the game. However, there is an entire inexhaustible faction of Confederates to murder. But even better than that, the game gives you several opportunities to stumble on a Klan meeting.

These encounters are special because they’re a sandbox for creative butchery and guiltless massacre. Even the game’s honor system looks the other way while you toss a gallon of liquor onto the burning cross, dousing the Grand Dragon and all his Cyclopses, sending them in a screeching panic, fully engulfed, off a nearby cliff just like that dude in Lord of the Rings.

Can you imagine if Hollywood worked like this?

yea, we moved Stephen Spielberg and some other senior leaders to different rolls. He just seems he’s a better fit for the “Cliffhanger” project. We just don’t envision that Amblan Entertainment needs our full attention now and they have all our confidence going forward with their “Schindler” property.

EDIT: I forgot: what’s the difference? Unions probably.

do you want an hour-long video essay on the Angry Video Game Nerd? No, of course you don’t. Who would want that?

Sony had like 10 subscription/ live service games in the pipe when Concord flopped. All canceled now.

Evey games developer want’s a fortnite but they can’t understand that multiple games designed to maximize player investment and dominate their time can’t coexist.

The AI that sets your health insurance policy is going to be way deadlier than the one that has a gun.

IDK if we should be calling something that requires so much training and dexterity an “accessibility device”.

With the expense of the hardware, the learning curve for the user, and the friction of wearing all that stuff, this is going to have to solve a compelling problem to be useful. Especially when “good enough” solutions are everywhere and free.

The militant centrist symbol is Jon Stewart wearing a Che Guevara hat. The T-shirt is only available in extra medium.

This statement outlines this developer’s sociopolitical agenda.

Because I’m not allowed to read the article to know if this is mentioned: a big reason why this would aggravate Wukong fans is that Nintendo is a Japanese company.

This article’s reasoning is faith based. The cornerstone assumption is that industry profits and layoffs obey the preferences of the market.

To those who follow the industry, this is demonstrably false. What follows is the lack of awareness on full display:

and even though Spider-Man 2 sold more than 11 million copies, several members of Insomniac lost their jobs when Sony announced 900 layoffs in February.

This is like a soup joint that’s trying to see how much they can piss in the broth before customers notice.

Me watching Kash Patel and Donald Trump drive the FBI into the ditch:

Why does capitalist reasoning always sound like a prayer to an angry god?

We consulted the oracle and it seems that the dragon is tired of corn. So we’ve hedged our portfolio with wheat and virgins.

Everything that disrupts surveillance is good. People concerned with the “fairness” of tolls and tickets, or that a criminal might benefit are just grown-ass hall-monitors and it’s pathetic.

This person appears to deserve recognition and respect. It is also a macabre PR stunt to defect criticism for layoffs during what’s essentially an industry party of self congratulations.

Two things can be true.

Summons were Dark Souls’ easy mode. In Elden Ring summons activate normal mode. Not an improvement.

Running a single-player melee build shouldn’t be a challenge mode.

So it can be ignored, like GeForce Experience?

I’m really tired of the “protect our democracy” shtick. On the one hand, it’s hypocritical to “protect democracy” from people voting wrong. Secondly, if democracy is going to be perpetually on life support, it’s defenders can only hope for survival and abandon fantasies of a democracy that grows or thrives.

This has existed for decades in the form of a game show called “The Price is Right”. It’s obscene that they break away to commercials when the show itself is just an endless parade of consumer products presented by beautiful humans.
