Why are we jumping to Moana already? Feels so recent to be getting a remake. These are all terrible but you’d think they’d at least tap Frozen first.

They usually can’t define it because what it really means to them is: “A slur I’m still allowed to say”

Oh yeah for sure, it was definitely not clear enough that it was a joke considering the state of things. Parody that is indistinguishable from sincerity is doing more harm than good.

So I will throw in here that that Steam post from the tweet in the article is almost certainly parody and not genuine, though it is mocking genuine arguments that are present on the Steam Forums they seem to have witnessed.

I played the demo of this, and I rather liked the overall concept and mechanic that battles aren’t really won or lost in the traditional RTS sense, but rather through how much it impacts your faction’s will to continue fighting, as well as how important supply is. The idea of fortifications you build being persistent…

It was wild how passionately people proclaimed that for a while there.

I’ve definitely played some betas that had cash shops, usually they say it was mostly for testing the cash shop functionality, and whatever you buy carries over to the full launch. The only major difference here I think is the length of time that the game will be absent (I’ve never played a beta that had a cash shop…

It’s definitely become a useless terminology beyond saying that it’s not “finished” which even that doesn’t really matter that much anymore with infinite games like Fortnite existing.

Wow hearing the name WildStar is a blast from the past. Was it really trying to peel off WoW’s hardcore base? I was definitely in that 99% category, having never gotten into WoW but curious what this whole MMO scene was about. So I got into WildStar’s beta and enjoyed myself decently, but I remember feeling like it…

So, did Steam delist it or did the devs delist it as precautionary compliance?

I continue to feel like this embrace of the Way or w/e will not be the end result, if only because it would be a really weird unsatisfying narrative track for Filoni to spend all of Clone Wars and Rebels making it pretty clear Death Watch’s religious extremism is bad and then saying “well they were right in the end!”

I don’t really have an issue with what did or didn’t happen in the episode like Germain seems to, I just felt like the cohesion felt a bit.. off. Like I can imagine a version of this where everything is the same just the cuts and shots and general pacing were all executed better and it would do wonders.

I heard someone say once that Mandalorian is basically a live action cartoon, and ever since then I’ve increasingly felt like they’re right. That’s not really a knock against it, just that if you’re expecting a focused ever forward plot ala Andor or most streaming shows, and not an episodic wandering with a loose…

“an embittered ex trying to bypass due process” by.. formally pressing charges in court and not saying anything about it for 2 years until NBC discovered it when he had to appear in court? Sounds exactly like due process to me.

Heck even some AI devs (though a minority) don’t like calling it AI. Whatever the technical distinctions and specifics are within the field; the popular conception of the term is how people understand it, and is why we’ve got tech reporters writing about the coming robot uprising because they told a chatbot “act scary.…

Maybe they’ll just use his career for one of the lootable corpses.

Citing bullying is weird because yeah, I’m pretty sure that the real violation here was single letter emotes, which Twitch is very strict about. A small streamer I follow had a “W” emote that got removed for that reason, and so they resubmitted it except now it was “UU” and that was approved.

I think it’s the fact that he’s a film critic that makes this astounding. I can buy that someone so far removed from all media maybe hasn’t heard of it. But if your chosen career path is to watch films, of which Tetris is one of the few games that has been around long enough and has enough cultural footprint to be…

Steam? Probably a few months.
