Absolutely. It takes genius to bring a character as audacious as Ace Ventura to life. Jim Carrey brought a 90's madness to slapstick like Jimi Hendrix fused hard rock into Delta Blues. I think it’s great that Carrey is returning to his comic roots — it feels as nice as watching Patrick Stewart play Picard again.

I struggle with the knowledge that anyone ever found Ace Ventura Pet Detective funny, and while I love Dumb and Dumber, I’m far more likely to re-watch The Truman Show than one of Carrey’ slapsticks.

Yeah... it’s almost like what Blizzard did was entirely indefensible from any moral or ethical standpoint.

Literally covered in the last paragraph.

Notwithstanding that, doesn’t that make it pretty obvious that then perhaps Blizzard should have reacted in a different way?

So people here might be wondering how this was actually done.

You know what’s weird? The first Gex game has an expensively made, highly detailed and unusually well-animated intro and ending cutscenes.

Your friends seem pretty smart to get a console with a controller that is far superior for FPS’ than PS4's.

Approachable systems do not turn into boring systems. That’s an insane comment. So many games that are loved and played endlessly have approachable systems.

I’m having a hard time feeling a lot of sympathy for used-game retailers ... an industry whose business model inherently hurts developers (and is one of several reasons why micro-transactions and loot boxes have become so prevalent).

as a graphic designer, I really do appreciate the fans voicing their opinions about icon design! I think it prompts the industry to take this aspect of design more seriously.

What mental gymnastics did you have to do to defend bezels on anything?

Killing Nazis is literally what the game is about. They advertised it as such. Dumb fuck neo-Nazis/alt-right shit heads got triggered at a video game advertising anti-Nazi messages so Bethesda doubled down. There is literally nothing crass about this scenario other than those complaining about the marketing campaign.

Because I know there are people who will say “They need to spend time making the game, not the icon,” it took me less than 60 seconds, combined, on my phone, using the basic Gallery app, to make acceptable Switch icons for Sonic Mania and Kingdom: New Lands. And that includes searching for the actual images on Google.

As a software developer focused primarily on UI, I absolutely love it. I think it should be something that Nintendo should go as far as enforcing the consistency. It goes a long way.

A lot of users get enjoyment out of having an aesthetically pleasing home screen, I don’t see why that’s ‘pathetic’.

The same reason people purchase/install custom themes for software and apps, or buy stylish cases and covers for their hardware. All about having something nice to look at in a product you spend a lot of

I’ve started transcribing chunks of Splitscreen and will hopefully continue to do so because I know you guys appreciate that, but transcribing an entire hour-long podcast every week is just not practical!

Oh, you came so close to getting me to pay attention. Not everyone wants to listen, some of us actually like transcripts.
