Now before everybody jumps on here and says he looks like what you’d expect a 4Chan tough guy to look like, hear me out...

He looks exactly like I would expect a 4Chant tough guy to look like.

This is unreasonably harsh, but I wish the police would take these death threats, swatting attempts, etc super seriously and track down the person(s), arrest them, and keep them in jail for a few years. Absolutely terrifying for the victims and anyone who is doing this stuff has no place in general society. It's…

Solid Ghostbusters reference.

Also to note; Nintendo is able to keep doing this specialized hardware thing only BECAUSE they have so much internal talent and IPs to lean on. Without it, they would have failed as hard as any other Japanese publisher (and even WITH those internal advantages it got pretty dicey during the Wii-U period).

Yoshi-P described it in the NoClip doc on FF14 as SE having a mentality in the mid-2000s of hyper skilled swordsmith crafting exquisite products while the industry as a whole was automating a ton of that labor intensive work so they could focus on the rest of the product and save money.

This is interesting, because after reading the comments, all I can think with a lot of them is “you’re all right.” The Japanese gaming industry wasn’t ready to shift focus to multiple “similar” platforms simultaneously, they absolutely favored themselves over foreign ideas and people, and the change in what players…

Honestly, appreciate their openness to give a response about the situation and actually provide a “fix”. When I first heard about this story I figured that would also be the last I would hear and the dev would just go silent about it.  Interesting that you can just buy animation/game assets from Epic, I had no idea…

Given that this a German company, I’m tempted to believe this was entirely on purpose.

Good for them. These hackers are fucking awful: “Just because our country is literally trying to murder you is no reason for you to not... localize the game for Russians”.

Entitled pricks. Like, sorry - the devs aren’t monkey forced to dance for your amusement.

Was the cure real? Did they act against Ellie’s wishes? Was Joel justified? These questions all share the same answer: dear god please fucking kill me I can’t do this anymore.

I think she was supposed to play it deadpan.

Not only was that a really good episode, despite the clumsy start, it’s been a while I’ve laughed as hard as I did during the Waffle House sketch. Like that was near perfection.

When someone who has power over you at your workplace propositions you for sex, they have enormous ability to punish you for saying no or continue harassment afterwards.

It is orders of magnitude more dangerous and damaging than internet commentators - and those aren’t harmless, either.

Imagine streaming on twitch because there’s less harassment.

Remember when the comments were inundated with weird Bored Ape dweebs trying to convince us how revolutionary and forward-thinking NFTs were? I guess these pseudo-futurist assholes have moved on to the AI Art articles now, to defend that shitty fucking garbage.

Soon to be outdone by the “_AAA Clock”

Control was published by 505 Games, not Private Division.

The tower fowl is Colonel, Cayde’s rooster.

With price differences like that, it’s no wonder that more and more people are turning to ALDI.
