The expectation that everyone who consumes something can be as much of a jerk as they want, but anyone who creates something must be an avatar of perfect grace/patience… is bad, actually.

My George Miller tweet hit big, so I’ll push my luck. I played Dark Souls 2 searching and craving for any connection to the first game’s story. Its steadfast denial to give me Little Treats and instead present continuations of themes puts it miles ahead of DS3’s callback bombs.

It’s a harassment campaign and it’s almost exactly like it was ten years ago. People are namesearching around the topic and hopping into replies randomly to sea lion (at best). The point is to exhaust you, make content, and radicalize young people to the far right.
If you aren't sure this is a harassment campaign, just take a look at the content. Look at how many sock puppet accounts flock to comment on posts. Look at the language in those comments. Look at the images they're sharing, the way they're manipulating pictures of women.

Weird to watch the lesson go from “don’t write intentionally provocative headlines, it makes problems” to “objective news exists and it should be a re-printing of publisher press releases” or the more pernicious “don’t be negative about games ever, you’re hurting the industry.”

I don’t like criticizing other Souls creators because who needs to know my opinion, but when someone is throwing around the word “globalists” and their community isn’t immediately saying “what the fuck, dude?”, I gotta say no thanks. I never got a good vibe off of Ziostorm.

Shadow of the Erdtree does a great job of making you feel new to the game again. Yeah it’s difficult and I think the damaging tuning is harsh, but I’m constantly reminded that the world is too big to get stuck fighting things in the order I see them. I gotta bounce and wander.

I don’t know how this take will go over, but: Making people work at 1am is terrible management. Just the worst, most superficial idea of how work works. One hour of well-rested work is more productive and valuable than several hours of late night overtime.
Show me another CEO that has more skin in the game at 1AM in the office.
These young engineers are learning from the most innovative person of the twenty-first century.

The thing about spaces where ironic bigotry is allowed is that real bigots show up there and radicalize them. This _always_ happens. If you are responsible for maintaining and online space, it’s good policy to stop that early and often. No, your irony won’t work out differently.

Hi, I’m one of the mythical people who did “the right thing” and paid off their student loans. Rather than let the take writers speak for me, I’ll speak for myself: I would not feel cheated if they canceled current student debt. Do it, you cowards, cancel the debt.

Elden Ring: You can see for miles, but you’ll still stumble into a set piece that would be a whole level in another game, and this will happen several times on the road toward something even bigger. This happens with zero fanfare. Maximalism has never been so understated.

This is a huge part of why these games, from this era, are so memorable and fascinating.
Motherhood is a huge theme of Silent Hill 1, 3, and 4, and I sorely feel its absence later in the series. SH’s legacy should be much weirder and more uncomfortable than “guilty man haunted.”
Honestly, I will never stop talking about the "tokophobia" (fear of pregnancy) themes storyline that was heavy present on many ps2 horror related games. Silent Hill 3, Rule of Rose, Haunting Ground... they perfectly managed to show how scary is to lose autonomy of your own body.

If you’re going to buy and talk about a game that supports a bigot because you want to keep an open mind about it, I’d recommend that you keep an even more open mind to the people who are saying that bigot is putting them in danger.

Kamala Harris will disappoint you and being a fan of a politician is a bad idea. Putting all of your faith in a single person to be a moral avatar of the state will end badly. Voting is a strategic act to put the best coalitions closer to power.

A game lies about the danger of a situation to instill a feeling in the player. This lie is one of many signs that gaming has fallen into degeneracy. For example, did you know that if you die in the game, you don’t die IRL? And mommy is behind those hands the whole time?

My favorite thing about manga is how ambitiously they play with timeline and continuity. Every manga I’ve read has presented events in reverse order, right down to the dialogue and panels. I admit it’s challenging, but I don’t like having my hand held. Difficult, but satisfying.
