. Opinions MINE.
I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don't expect to be forgiven. I'm simply here to apologize.
After speaking with Ubisoft PR, they sent me this picture of Yasuke and his family. The picture was taken by Rurouni Kenshin and Ubisoft confirms a certain
Hot take:
There is no need for a new dedicated gaming console.
Zero.
Even a a mid range PC can run pretty much every game ever made, and better than a current gen console.
The Steam Deck outclasses the Switch.
The only reason anybody is buying consoles is price,
Ubisoft literally cannot afford for Assassin's Creed Shadows to fail.
The company has taken a massive financial hit, and a lot is riding on this title.
However, in trying to protect it from "the chuds," they might've just guaranteed its underperformance at launch.
Good job.
They want Disney without Walt.
They want Tolkien without Tolkien.
They want DnD without Gygax.
They want Star Wars without Lucas.
They want Harry Potter without Rowling.
They even want Minecraft without Notch.
So
@Grummz
talks about the lengths pop culture activists will go to to take you out of the picture if you try to oppose them.
I personally know of some people with very mild takes who were swatted.
I know of some comics people who have been banned from cons.
Others have
VERY easy solution for handling gender in video games.
- Male
- Female
- Custom, which allows you to mix and match body types, clothes, voices, etc., and assign pronouns only *if* you want them.
That took me all of 30 seconds. You're welcome.
Google is broken.
Wikipedia is corrupt.
Facebook is broken AND corrupt.
Can you imagine what Twitter would be like by now if
@elonmusk
hadn’t bought it?
X isn’t perfect. But it’s one of the last places left that you can speak your mind (mostly) and challenge narratives.
Theory:
The people who participated in cancel culture for years are themselves being canceled.
It's just being done on the downlow.
No fanfare. No Twitter spats. No hit pieces.
Just... no phone calls. No work.
And now’s the part where people who’ve *obviously* never played a video game in their whole damn life decide to hitch a ride onto that Sweet Baby Inc gravy train.
You know, the same people who told us that video games were stupid and would rot our brains and shit?
Yeah. 😒
Back in the day home computers were ungodly expensive and not that good at playing graphics intensive arcade style video games.
Consoles designed solely for gaming made sense.
Now they do not.
Johnny Depp's legal victory and the likely overturning of Roe v. Wade are part of the same toxic cultural movement, argues Vox senior correspondent Constance Grady.
Here is where the reaction leaves us:
"Living well is the best revenge."
Remember that art fixer bullshit?
Yeah, nobody does. But they still remember the original cover. And now he gets another go at it.

It took a year or two to see it, but there is definitely a “before” and “after” the pandemic.
Nothing has really gone back to what was normal in the “before times.”
A lot of stuff is still broken. Entire industries are burning down in real time. As are entire cities.
And so
Sorry nerds.
George Lucas isn’t going to ride in on a white tauntaun to save Star Wars from Disney.
It’s over. It’s been over, but people kept holding out hope.
Star Wars is just a corporate IP now.
Kelsey Grammer: "We avoid political jokes [on
#Frasier
], because honestly, they are so locked in a time warp. Contemporary culture does not fuel any comedy that lasts."
Moving to California to be an “influencer” is stupid.
I never understood why so may YouTubers and Twitch streamers did this.
There’s a 99% chance Hollywood will never accept you, no matter how big your following is.
You can work from anywhere.
Live someplace cheaper.
I just got Doxed. My family has been doxed.
Second Wind and former EIC of Escapist, Nick Calandra
@jnickjcal
, has weaponized his Discord server and is encouraging his thousands of patreon supporters to dox me.
They did.
And unlike certain other journalists who don't post
Why are pop culture journos, game devs, comic book creators, animation industry people etc. all losing their minds on social media?
Their prospects aren’t looking good TBH. The entertainment industry is collapsing in real time.
If you’re still working — even for yourself —
Theory:
I believe the insanity is ramping up because they know the end is near.
The money is running out. Studios and publishers are laying off or closing down.
Their phones aren’t ringing anymore.
But they want to take as many people with them before it all ends.
Oh come the hell on!
You couldn’t even wonder aloud if the vaccines caused blood clots or you were a fascist and/or a white supremacist.
Over an experimental pharmaceutical product.
It honestly doesn't matter anymore if Kathleen Kennedy is fired, quits or leaves. The damage has been done.
Disney's packed with a bunch of people like her willing to continue her vision and Disney's not going to erase the canons of the IPs that have been damaged.
Reminder:
Disney Star Wars is not “G-canon.”
George Lucas wasn’t involved in its creation and didn’t even sign off on any of it AFAIK.
And he’ll tell you as much.
Every chance he gets.
It’s expensive fan fiction that you’re free to ignore.
Anybody else think this sudden resurgence in 2017-era “fan blaming” is just digital journalists desperately trying to mine clicks to keep their jobs? 🤔
Reminder: It’s been less than one week since the announcement that Elon Musk was buying Twitter.
Can’t imagine what the coming weeks and months will bring.
Baldur’s Gate 3 wasn’t considered AAA before it won a bunch of awards and sold a bunch of copies.
Now some people are retroactively trying to claim it (and Elden Ring) as AAA.
Baldur’s Gate 3 isn’t a Saints Row or Suicide Squad. The failures of those games can be traced back
Let them have Star Wars, Doctor Who, LoTR, etc. etc. etc.
I honestly don’t care other than to laugh at stupid corporate decisions regarding legacy franchises.
Just assume they’ll fuck it up somehow and blame the fans. Rinse and repeat.
People who were bullied don't always have empathy.
Some nerds who got bullied grow up to be even bigger online bullies than the people who bullied them.
There’s not a single Disney executive at the company today that has the vision or the BALLS that Walt Disney had.
Nobody told Walt no.
Nobody told Walt what he could or couldn’t do.
If he were alive today he’d probably move the company out of California to have the freedom.
@Grummz
AAA and Hollywood are in the same situation right now IMHO.
Both industries maxed out their credit cards on a bunch of subpar DEI infused content that audiences rejected, and now the bills are coming due.
So now they’re having garage sales just to make ends meet.
Skybound took the Transformers and GI Joe comic book licenses and turned them into bestsellers almost overnight.
Clearly, IDW was the problem and not the IP itself.
Lots of people who weren’t there at the time are arguing online that NOBODY who saw ‘The Blair Witch Project’ the year it came out believed it was real. That’s wrong. Many people did.
All the Tumblr cartoons that were greenlit over the past 10 years?
Yeah, it's OVER.
Things are gonna be WAY different after the strikes.
This is a RESET of the American animation industry.
Some people WON'T be ready for it.
This is a good case study in just how important the people behind the camera actually are.
People associated with 1990s Star Trek worked on The Orville, and it shows. In many ways, The Orville got the spirit of Trek better than official Trek.
And it started out as a parody.
It’s way too early to tell whether or not Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be a hit.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League had great presale numbers… at first.
It’s a long way to November. Just sayin.
I swear to God, nerds are the most vicious online bullies.
I’m sure there’s a psychology to it.
They’re losers in the real world, so they feel empowered online.
Or something.
Gina Carano SUES Disney and Lucasfilm! Elon Musk is PAYING FOR IT?!
HUGE Disney news!
@ginacarano
is SUING Disney and Lucasfilm for wrongful termination off of "The Mandalorian" and SpaceDaddy
@elonmusk
is paying for it! This is another F-YOU to Bob Iger from the both of them!
Even if KK got fired tomorrow, I don’t know how you’d fix Star Wars.
You’d have to decanonize and/or reboot, but Disney wouldn’t have the balls (or the cash) to do it.
And you can never have the original trio back together. Carrie Fisher is gone and Harrison Ford is 80.
I’m finally back home and my notifications be HOPPIN. 🔥
If
@elonmusk
wants to help with this team up to see what’s possible against Embracer Group and/or LRG, I’m all ears.
