That’s the easiest way of putting it, yeah. While most people understand standing as something that relates to whether one is directly affected by an action, it can also be automatically granted by acts of law, which is what the Texas Legislature did in this case. Standing is automatically granted to any citizen, as…

Oh for sure. Over the last couple of years I’ve observed a number of streamers (who to be certain, are far smaller than the big hitters this article is talking about) jump ship for YouTube contracts, only to return to Twitch within less than a year on account of reduced viewership.

Riders Republic plays more like SSX

I felt like the dialogue was basically just old 90's/00's “radical” speak, but they just swapped out a couple of words for more modern slang. Which that mishmash kind of put it in a weird “does this even exist anywhere” feeling for me.

Could be sooner than later; they were one of the companies the Jan 6th Committee issued a demand for records from a few days ago.

As they note in the video, this is something Sony have struggled with for years; I had two PS3 consoles overheat, and myPS4's heat + fan noise problems got so bad towards the end that I simply stopped playing the thing

This is like saying; “I don’t like arthouse films. I bought and used a ticket to an arthouse film. I want a refund because I didn’t like it.”

I can’t get over how they bookended it with ‘5's which only makes the message stand out all the clearer. Like there’s no way they didn’t want this noticed.

Yeah you don’t rename one of the more recognizable faces of one of your big properties unless you know they’ve got some stuff on you. Perhaps ActiBlizz is aware of some stuff that they know will surface on account of the lawsuits and are trying to get out in front.

I assume this is Epic’s thinking. They have stated in the past they want Fortnite to become more than just a shooter; that they want it to be a “platform” or something like that. My assumption is events like this are them trying to bring that into existence.

This is something I thought of as well, I don’t know what kind of restrictions are in place during this event, but bigots will always trying to mess stuff like this up.

While I take your meaning, there is a weird trend among the anti-mask crowd of filming themselves harassing kids going to school trying to convince them to take their masks off, or just so they can post to facebook and moan about how “bad” things are regarding schools and masks. Just based on the girl’s comment I’d…

Kind of reminding me of the Balan Wonderworld dance sequences tbh

Possibly, but racketeering is a fairly wide class of crimes, and you would need definitive proof.

Yup that was it. The moderators were very quick to react thankfully, but it really is the lowest of the low to target something raising money for children’s cancer funds.

In both theory and in practice, larger streamers often use it after they have finished streaming to help out a small streamer who they want to bring more attention to, like a friend or just someone they like. Especially since a lot of people watching streams are only sort of half paying attention, they may linger and…

That is such an inspired casting choice I never knew I wanted to see.

I get what you mean with Jet, but I think it’ll mostly come down to performance. How he speaks and carries himself will sell it more than the look I think. That first shot in the slideshow is extremely action hero, but hopefully that’s not indicative of the tone of his character.

Yeah Faye’s outfit had been something I wondered about from the very beginning. I never expected them to even try to go for full accuracy because it would be absurd, but I did hope they would figure something out that felt right. The lower half of the outfit is quite clever actually; by adding some belts and high…

Honestly I’m surprised they repsonded at all, I think ‘no comment’ would’ve been less stupid than whatever that quote is supposed to mean. Creative choice? Really??
