it is kinda what’s going on here. south korea, japan and china all have a demonstrated fixation on the “whiteness” of western culture, whether that’s having an Anne of Green Gables-land, or using western europe’s medieval history as a sandbox for their own stories (whether that’s Elden Ring or Final Fantasy), because…

according to MS, gamepass will only ever amount for no more than 15% of their income on the platform annually—that’s the hard ceiling on GP.

the show is just an exhibit in wasted potential, especially wasting cavill.

don’t conflate the creative direction of cavill as superman with his performance of the character. honestly he nails the tone and presence of the character—and makes the role his own, a modern clark kent and superman, rather than immersing himself in a homage to the late great christopher reeve.

i imagine the witcher is a much bigger time commitment than superman. when cavill was superman he seemed to have time to join a number of other projects, but he’s been notably less productive since the witcher started.

RIP.

i mean, the books do suck—at least, in terms of their literary merits. i can understand why writers would dislike them. but there is a lot to work with, regardless, and i think any writer worth their salt would see the job as an opportunity to improve upon and take advantage of the enormous fantasy world at their…

it honestly sounds like the game is trying to make a point by using provocative scenarios and gameplay mechanics, but the critic doesn’t realize it’s deliberate on the game’s part. instead the critic is just restating the game’s own point as if their own criticism of the game rather than engaging the themes of inequali…

i’m okay with political criticism of videogames as long as the criticism is valid. but it’s weird how the critic seems to think the game’s political commentary only begins in earnest in the second half of the game, whereas earlier missions were simply offensive. but i dunno, a mission where you shoot innocent…

the USA under Trump or a Trump-alike is exactly the unstable, global level threat you describe.

i mean, i’m on the left, but these people are idiots—if they’re leftists, it’s of the superficial, non-self-interrogated sort.

i’m sorry that your simping is being exploited. 

yeah, usually these girls are fronted money by a business man or significant other, who then expects a cut back of whatever they make from onlyfans. it’s often more than one girl they’ve got going, and it’s sometimes dozens. it’s just pimping in the modern age.

this is an important lesson to learn about these so-called “solo girls” —nude models who make their personality and interactions with the public their business model. the truth is that they are very rarely doing it themselves—it’s almost always being propped up by a business partner, boyfriend or spouse who is using…

overwatch 2 is free

exactly. due to hale’s semi-celebrity status, at least among VA talent, i’m guessing she netted a flat rate deal north of 100K.

platinum have taken a swan dive into an empty pool after nier automata. bayo 3 looks like mediocre shit and all of their other recent work is frankly boring as shit.

couterpoint: these price points will ensure that the cards remain available to media professionals—visfx boutiques, for instance—who actually need these cards to stay competitive for work. scalpers shouldn’t be able to easily afford them, miners can go fuck themselves and gamers don’t really *need* them—they just want…

that must explain why it’s so well-liked. 

i am really glad they went with something less obvious here—but the dancing bat ladies were among my favourite characters in the game, for sure. i would love something like this.
