More than enough reason to support the strike. Starz kept the show on hold months after it was completed because....reasons. Smell should be arrowing the execs for holding the show back.

Credit where credit is due, this dumb idiot said some stupid shit, but walking it all back (with a little face saving caveat) and joining the picket line is the right conciliatory measure.

in other words “I failed to read the room before I spoke. When the strike is over please everyone don’t refuse to work with me”

Kotaku has been doing “Six months later” articles for major titles for years now. There are dozens of other examples. Red Dead 2, Eldin Ring, Genshin Impact, virtually every big game released in the last 5 years or so has gotten an article like this.

Yeah, but it didn’t drop off in six months, it dropped off in three weeks and stayed that way. The game was sheer mediocrity and the numbers back that up.

Fuck Rowling and her transphobia — which is very easy for me to say, as I never read Harry Potter or saw the movies, so it was never my fandom to preserve.

Except the falloff was something that happened ages before now and we all commented on it.

It was less than a month.

Hey, so this a bit off topic, but as a website that often write about the dangers of generative AI and support Hollywood unions’ fight against the looming specter of AI... maybe don’t use it yourself? Maybe hire an actual translator? There are a lot of freelancers out there looking for translation work. Using machine…

If it gets removed from D+ for "tax purposes" then it never happened, right? :)

Talos was killed with very little fanfare and it was not cool

Right?!?? I totally forgot we’re looking at a new content drought starting in a few months. God what a stupid thing to do. 

“Sure our biggest and arguably only major in house franchise is Star Trek, and yes we have a very popular kids show that is doing great work creating a whole new generation of fans we can hook for life but, and hear me out here, what if we not only destroy the already renewed show, refuse to show the second season,…

I personally am trans, so I’m primed to look for it. But yeah, the argument that Gwen is personally trans is not compelling.

there is something wrong with race swaps of established and clearly defined characters.

The character in this game is modeled on the actor and looks exactly like him. He seems like a nice enough guy, so why insult his appearance? Save it for Bobby Kotick or Tucker Carlson, much more punchable faces.

Replying to your comment so WillOWispy can’t dismiss it. At least, I assume that’s how it works. The fact that Kinja lets people dismiss replies to their comments is kind of absurd.

The key question here is what constitutes “issues.” Neither the console nor PC versions of Jedi Survivor run at a locked 60 FPS. That’s the primary complaint of PC users. 60 FPS is seen as the bare minimum (and some PC gamers find anything less than 120 FPS to be offensive). Any drops below 60 are seen as sins against…

The games physics are tied to the 30 fps it was supposed to run at. Modders have had a hell of a time getting arrows to work properly on high framerates. It’s been ironed out with patches, mostly, but there’s still some jank with ragdoll physics and stuff flying all over the place when you play at 60fps or beyond.…

It’s interesting isn’t it? Characters in fiction associating themselves with villains to fulfill their wants while people in the real world convince themselves it might be ok to give an actual scumbag money. The in-fiction answer is the same as the real world answer: Slytherine will remain as long as people don’t mind…

Honestly Rowling has done a pretty good job of evening the reputations of the four houses, if you ask me. Back in the day if you claimed to be a Slytherin, people might assume you were bigoted, or at least too self-centered to recognize oppression. But nowadays you can pretty reasonably assume that of adults who still…
