Damn, that is some fine craftsmanship.

I would be curious to see an off-shoot of this study that attempts to measure how the sexualization of female characters impacts the cis-male gamer. Does looking at and playing as overly sexualized females change how real-life women are viewed?

Oh look, more reasons for me to feel good about cancelling my Prime subscription 2 years ago and just going out to stores more often when I need things.

Remember ten years ago when people were absolutely enraged that a game might have an “always online” requirement?

Yeah, I’d definitely rather focus on the fact that she shared, like, a thing implying that grieving parents’ pain was false then the fact that she’s not the best voice actor.

“Eventually the game will die and other games will overtake it.”

Yeah, bodily autonomy, what a burden.

While it is a possibility, I don’t understand why people cannot believe that idea that at 60, someone who worked his ass all his life would like to retire and enjoy life outside of work. It’s as if everybody’s looking for a reason for his departure other than, he’s tired and deserve time off.

I’m pretty sure “She’ll hear you” refers to Viridi and not the Piranha Plant?

Hey, did you guys know that Tetsuya Mizuguchi did not direct Tetris Effect? Or produce it? Or design it? It’s true, the only credit he has outside the music (which, giving it the benefit of the doubt may also double as level design) is a shared credit for “game concept” with the actually credited director, Takashi…

Not gonna lie. I now have no idea what actually happened.

1. Fortnite is free.

This is absolutely an unintended interaction between meshes in a game that is constantly getting new items and only has enough QA coverage to make sure it’s 90% bug free. They might even have unit tests for checking all the dances on every single content drop... but it’s hard to force your QA staff to do that forever.…

Hmm. Almost looks like a problem with mesh deformation weight maps or whatever newfangled wizardry is used these days... Like the leg movement is inadvertently affecting other parts of the mesh... 🤔

“nipples are erotic”

It’s easy to point to Price’s original comment as “crossing the boundary” or unprofessional in the context of her job, but of course that’s not really the point for the people who wanted her fired.

Honestly if this is the worst we ever unearth about Mr Rogers I’ll take it

I have two daughters who are both adorable. How do I know this? Because people will constantly go on and on about how pretty they are. “Oh my god, she is so BEAUTIFUL! You’re gonna be in trouble when she get’s older, man!” Stupid, creepy shit like that. I always say something along the lines of, “Well, she’s also…
