Amen, brother.

Yeah I came here to post:  EVERY GODDAMN FRAME FROM 2001!!!!!!

And no sequence from 2001: a Space Odyssey makes the cut:

I clicked fast and made it to 16/44 before I just ran out of shits to give.  I’m not even one of the people on a crusade against slideshows, but man...this is just way too fucking much to ask of anyone. I’d rather scroll past an equal number of ads on the side as I went down a page of these than have to click through…

As it was when he was initially banned, if his reason for being banned is so benign and Twitch was acting in such bad faith, all he has to do is provide the receipts he claims to have.

Yep. Its pretty much the “thoughts and prayers”-yadda yadda in different form. Its easy to do, you dont have to raise your ass from them comfy couch and can pat yourself on the shoulder that you did something.

It seems performative because it is performative. None of this stuff moves the needle even one micrometer. Like Blackout Tuesday on Instagram last year which was meant to highlight racism and police brutality but was really just a way for people to feel like they’re a part of something without actually making an…

Just like those nonsense “don’t pump gas for a day” boycotts, unless you’re willing to boycott for the long-haul (and take your audience with you) then don’t bother. They know you’ll be back tomorrow and ultimately the gesture appears performative over anything else you’re trying to achieve. Commit.

I mean, one of Fortnite’s first claims to controversial fame was stealing dances without credit.

Considering Sweeney considers Fortnite a “media platform”, and it’s whole damn thing is collabs (what’s the current one, street fighter?), then of ALL the games that should reach out to a smaller indie dev for a collab vs stealing the ideas wholesale, Fortnite should be that game. Especially when Sweeney says that…

Good on him for declining a bad deal and sharing what he feels like he can and should.

Not really. If she didn’t support him, why should he support her?

I was working as a contractor at Microsoft Game Studios several years ago, when some game studio (I can’t remember which one) made headlines by setting up a pavilion outside the Expo that included a stripper pole. I said something about that being not at all cool, and some of my (male) coworkers spoke up in defense of…

In the video she asks the question, people in the crowd cheer and the men on the panel looks chastened. Then men in the audience start booing loudly and you can see the panel become emboldened to start openly making fun of her. There is a lessen here about the fact that the misogyny in the game industry is reinforced…

we are short staffed and have even more people leaving to a degree that covering the news surrounding all aspects of this is taking every resource. i am having convos with folks as we go but at the moment the plan is to continue covering relevant news with the appropriate context and tone, should it be newsworthy.…

i’m not sure how that explains him saying he’s debating erasing it from the sleeve. that’s what folks think is disrespectful, he could have just said that the card holds the value and not the sleeve and left it at that

I’m a heavy magic the gathering player and yeah signatures tend to LOWER the value of cards rather than raise them. this is because there are only a certain number of pristine examples printed and every time you get a card signed or the card gets damaged that number of pristine cards goes down. If you buy and sell tcg…

I know I’m not the target demographic for this but input lag is always going to be a dealbreaker for me.

Its US insurance industry propeganda. It’s simply not true. Signed, a Canadian.

No one dies waiting for care in countries with socialized medicine. You’re regurgitating insurance industry propeganda. Everytime I hear an American spout this lie about the Canadian health care system I want to strike them in the face. It’s pure falsehood.
