The Quick Brown Fox called the series a “lazy dog.”  Ouch.

Sigh. That’s why you don’t use real text as placeholder text.

“mistakenly published”

In addition to the pandemic release scheduling disaster of Wonder Woman 2, it also sucked.

I don’t particularly care if we observers and spectators take it seriously. But for the people who work in the industry, and their various capacities? Yes, take it seriously. The games which are being awarded (and those that aren’t) don’t come about without a great deal of hard work (and in many cases overwork), so…

I personally would at least come in blue jeans, a dress shirt and a blazer, and bring out the watch. But it’s also a tech company and the style with big tech is casual so while not appropriate for another industry, casual would be appropriate for this to a degree.

I believe it’s called “business casual” and is pretty common in tech-related industries. I do agree that it’s a silly half-measure but the reason it exists is because of the archaic idea that you need to dress formally for anything business-related.

I think the statement “It’s an awards ceremony.” doesn’t have as much gravity or respect with many people as you might think. It’s just not something that people take so seriously anymore.

Or, if you do, go bold. Bring the TACKIEST blazer of all time alongside a charity t-shirt with a fucking bowtie. Commit to the absolute clown look.

No one’s saying that they expect the developers to be draped in haute couture (and it’s disingenuous to imply that they are), but at the end of the day, this is an awards show for your industry, and you would think that members of that industry (including those who might be getting awarded) would care just a little…

Eh, if you’re presenting, you might want to dress up a bit. A fuckton of people are going to be seeing you, might as well look your best.

First, it is an awards show. This is the sort of thing where you probably should dress up a bit if you’re expecting to be on-stage, joke of an awards show as it might be.

“Fine, here’s 10 years of Call of Duty, whatever. Can we please speed this up so we can make Candy Crush dispense actual crack every time you play? Please? Our shareholders are getting agitated.”

Wait till the next one comes out and then there will be wave of ackshullys

“Sapient” is actually correct here, as Thanos seemingly intended to wipe out half of all intelligent beings. Not all sentient beings are sapient: sentience implies the ability to feel, while sapience implies self-aware intelligence and wisdom.

the MCU has plenty of sentient species that are non-humanoid.

???

For example, in the film Avengers: Infinity War, a character named Thanos kills roughly 4 billion people.

You’re being kind. They’re not ‘struggling’ with anything. It flat didn’t occur to them when they began development, and now that it’s been pointed out, they simply don’t care.

It’s not that japan is a homogenous country, its that they are also racist as shit on average. This is the country that commited race and nationality based war crimes in ww2 to rival or even surpass the nazis and refuses to aknowledge or apologise for them to this day, and celebrates war criminals as heroes. A country…
