Dumb? Yes. Scummy? Not really. ‘Scummy’ is awfully overused these days.

“Many streamers, after all, make a large portion of their money off advertisements”

They do? Since I don’t make squat off of ads. If I didn’t have regular subs, I wouldn’t make anything off of Twitch.

Still easier than trying to monetize on YouTube, though.

I’m with you on this. It’s really cool to see this actually achieved on any platform. 

I am an almond, tyvm.

I hope the reporting keeps happening, if only to continue upsetting folks that have to make this comment every single time. 👍

Can we get Kate Botello to come back and co-host X-Play?

I speak from experience that birds swooping on you is fucking terrifying. The grudge against mockingbirds is strong.

I mean, people can enjoy those games and not be stupid, but sure - let’s go with your opinion.

That would be the way they could get me interested in Duke again.

There will be no natto shaming in this house!

Ditto. I used to work with ex-Experis folks who spent a while working on Halo Online. When they saw that it had gotten leaked a couple years ago, they were vocally not too happy it was out there in the world. It always seemed like an odd response, since Halo Online got cancelled. I’d be pleased as punch if anything I…

They are lucky that they didn’t have more major issues with those last-minute additions. But, I would definitely describe not being able to complete every achievement as ‘game-breaking’. Heck, that’s a cert violation right there, and would need to be fixed. Unless it got fixed later on? I don’t know, since I’ve…

I had wondered what happened to Project Wight/Darkborn. During my brief time at Private Division, we got to try out a pretty rough milestone build, and gather feedback for the devs. Seemed like an interesting concept, but builds that are that early are tricky to give feedback for. Just before I left PD, this had…

I wouldn’t have when I still worked for 2K. I watched a fellow QA tester get fired over a very minor reason about two weeks they spoke with the VP of QA about harassment they were receiving. This was a situation where they took advantage of the VP’s open-door policy and it cost them.

Been looking for work since I got back from Japan last August. No luck, despite talking & interviewing with places along the way. Now all this happens and it makes the future seem less certain than ever.

Trying to keep my spirits up, though, by finding projects to work on. I’m also starting to watch the original Kamen…

For real. Stubb’s is amazing stuff. The fact that it doesn’t use HFCS at all (I believe that’s still true; someone correct me if I’m wrong) is an added bonus.

Grab what I want, don’t have to deal with BS small-talk, and hopefully get in and out quickly? Sign me up.

I definitely agree with the Zero Calorie Coke Energy tasting really odd. Very medicine-y. I have a can of the regular one I’m going to try in the next couple of days. The Zero Calorie Cherry flavor was decent, though. I think the Cherry helped mask some of the other off flavors.

One thing I wish I could remember,…

I never use the term ‘shit-lord’, like, ever. But Tyler1 seems to embody that term. Maybe his audience are masochists? Because something what is linked to above would be enough reason to never give him another view.

I saw this on Wario64's feed this morning and thought ‘that might be nice to finally try out’. Then I saw the price, audibly guffaw’d, and went about my day. There might be a lot of game there, but this also isn’t a brand new title.
