The problem is precisely that, regardless of how much one cares about a W3 remaster specifically, this seems indicative of Blizzard’s future work. I suspect that’s part of the reason so many people are so angry - they’re finally seeing Activision peeking out from underneath their Blizzard skin.

Oh God, I should’ve known someone got there already. What a fool I’ve been!

Nice, but not enough. I want them to go further - an entire external enclosure with an integrated LCD that could display gifs, or videos, or even other stuff maybe - you just put it next to the case and it could do all kinds of stuff. I bet something like that would sell like hotcakes.

The internet and its ability to connect people across the world is one of the most impressive marvels of human achievement, period. It’s the people being connected that are often a toxic waste dump. Teens on Apex Legends voice chat are basically self-selected for the worst that humanity has to offer in the interaction…

A Liquid Crystal Display-addled mind? Those are the worst, true... CRT 4EVER!

I supported the developers’ decision to pivot this into an online PvP game with microtransactions since, after all, they were a tiny studio and their livelihoods depended on making the thing work as best as they could.

I am of course presuming that PC owners are, as usual, free to get fucked at their leisure?

It’s fine. If I were to watch the movie in a movie theater, I wouldn’t run out when this started over the end credits. But come on, this is not the tempo you want in a Sonic movie song! I couldn’t jog to this thing, let alone run.

Yeah but that was kind of the bare minimum required.

The visuals are gorgeous, coming closer than anything yet seen to recreating a perfect 3D version of the animated show.

Not nearly the only one. Jesus Luke, phrasing!

Jesus, never thought I’d get so old that Cube becomes ‘this 90s Canadian film’. I’m flashing back to that scene in Civil War where Spider-man says ‘did you guys ever see that really old movie Empire Strikes Back’.

All of this. But also for extra bullshit points they introduced Shantel VanSanten as Patty Spivot back in season 2, who was wonderful and a fun character and had great chemistry with Barry - so of course that shit had to go, pronto. Nothing could be allowed to threaten the damp squib that is Barris.

I’m not sure ‘super funny’ is the most appropriate phrase to describe this.

That sounds like an incredibly convenient setup for Microsoft, and potentially an incredibly inconvenient source of problems for Microsoft’s valued customers.

Yes, I know what their jobs are. And 600 employees isn’t a particularly big company these days, but it is about a medium-sized game studio. And while I’m not the head of a major games publisher with insight into production schedules, I can perfectly easily look at what other game studios of a similar size release over…

What a travesty. I for one won’t tolerate a world where my peanut mascots aren’t clearly and cleanly divided into Boy Peanuts and Girl Peanuts - the latter preferably wearing a pink bow.

...I don’t understand. What are people complaining about, that Evil Hat wrote the factual fact that Lovecraft was factually racist?

I don’t think you get the full picture - this isn’t ‘people were more racist back then’, his wife left him because he was too racist to live with. His contemporaries, even his friends, complained in their letters that he’s a bit much. Imagine how racist you must be to be ‘a bit much’ for 1920?
