Your comment reminded me of this company I heard about on NPR.

There are some really clever setups out there, I remember before he died there was a company working on a voice synth for Roger Ebert so he could do voice-overs for a new TV show, and they were basing it on a huge sample library of his own speech pulled from the recordings he’d done for DVD commentaries before his…

Even in the matrix all of the humans had pods. In the US we offer nothing and if you do not like it you are UN-AMERICAN.

Have you read UQ Holder? It continues the story of Negima, but is even better imo!

Besides water, I kinda feel like 12 cans of anything a day is going to fuck you up eventually.

See, I really don’t know which side of this would win.

So, we all know it’s as easy as flipping a switch, so why don’t devs just do it? Don’t advertise it, don’t make a big deal out of it, just ship or go live with it enabled. What’s Sony going to do, honestly?

They could throw a fit and demand the devs disable it after the fact, but that would just make them look like…

By the time I was 16, I’d endured years of: misogynistic tirades from my father who called me a prostitute when I was in second grade (learned a new word that day!); ongoing paranoia from both my parents that I’d have sex despite not knowing what sex was at the time (lower elementary school); bullying at school from…

Like great-great-’gran-owen always said, ‘Never trust a man with neon purple hair who streams video games as a side gig.’

What bandwagon? This was literally a Respawn developer confirming our worst fears about EA’s corporate behavior and their plans for a beloved franchise. And that same developer saying “it is what it is, so we’re not going to spend the marketing money trying to pretend otherwise. Take it or leave it.”

The problem here and with just about every undocumented immigrant is that the paperwork basically doesn’t exist to bring them into compliance. I hate that “make the paperwork exist and help people follow the rules” is a policy that is somehow the same as “AMNESTY! OPEN BORDERS!!!!one1!!!1!” in Republican PR terms.

“To try and convince a skeptical audience for months with trailers and hands-on articles, we’re just like, ‘Let the game speak for itself’ - it’s the most powerful antidote to potential problems. We’re doing a free to play game, with essentially loot boxes, after we were bought by EA, and it’s not Titanfall 3. It’s…

I can’t wait until the next Democratic president declares a national emergency, seizes all of the assets of the for profit health insurance companies and sets up medicare for all. 

I was dismissive at this at first since, if it was from SONY themselves, well it’s a pretty tame “package”. It’s not awful, but if you’re going to do it from that level, might as well go all out.

GOLF. clap.

Slow clap.

Playstation FOOOUUURRRR!

And all day and all night and every monster he sees is just blue
Like him, inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue Chocobo

Yo listen up, here’s the story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world

Judging by what appears to be a very small number of people affected, it’s entirely possible the discrepancy in inventory vs. preorders is a result of breakage. I’d be more inclined to believe it was/is GameStop overselling if the number of cancelled preorders increases. Not that this changes much for the affected…
