You mean Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Men?

You’re absolutely right. Worst case here is that he believes this—and that’s a sin how? Should somebody who doesn’t love this game be running the show based on it? 

I think we’re overthinking this a bit.

I don’t know the specifics of Milwaukee, but being familiar with Chicago, I don’t have reason to doubt what you say.

The ‘food deserts’ in Chicago are largely areas that have homicide rates on par with active civil war zones. When the West Garfield Park Aldi closed last year, activist journalist types bought in to the…

I am a bit puzzled that “mass transit” reduces traffic.
It is not always true. Especially in North American cities. Mass transit targets specific locations while highways aggregate drivers from all over the place.
Example for me was NYC. It is great if you go to Manhattan, not so much in outer boroughs. 

First, you can’t make a food desert worse. It’s already at its lowest point, and that’s because it’s a crime-ridden part of town where no one wants to open a business. Even if it wasn’t, we don’t put a full grocery store in every neighborhood in the city. The people who live in $1M condos on the east side also can’t…

Highways don’t cause food deserts, poverty does. Retailers focus on areas and neighborhoods where they expect to be profitable, period.  IF there’s money to be made, another gas station, mini-mart, pawn shop, liquor store, payday loan place, brewpub, coffee shop, organic grocery, yoga studio, doggie daycare, or auto…

The area is a food desert and has been for some time. The problem is crime. Who would want to open a store in the area when they would be robbed blind. And there are little or no consequences for the criminals. This is happening in big cities all over America. Beware of what you wish for.

Horizon owes more than a little DNA to Monster Hunter, a series partially defined by its multiplayer. It’s not shoehorning if the inspiration already relied on it.

Monster Hunter but it’s Horizon Machines! Give it to me!

Monster Hunter: Horizon would be pretty cool, I think.  You can use the setting for all kinds of unique weapons, big monsters exist, mounting exists, etc.  

This is part of the same initiative as the Last of Us battle royale that was rumoured a while back, right? Could see Horizon’s shaping out as a sort of Monster Hunter-y affair since PVP wouldn’t mesh the best with that combat.

how about supporting all the writers and developers who poured their heart and soul into what looks like an awesome adventure in a wonderful universe that’s bigger than the original author and her real life politics?

Nintendo isn’t going to fuck you.

Yuri Lowenthal, who voiced Spider-Man in the PS4 Insomniac games, also voiced him in the recently released Marvel Midnight Suns game from Firaxis. I like to think this is a subtle way of implying it’s set in the same continuity as the Insomniac games and thus the larger world of Into the Spider-Verse.

He must have fucked with rich people’s money. It’s one thing to fleece the poors, but once you steal from the investor class, the US will get you. 

Spencer went on to contrast Xbox’s strategy of bringing its games day and date to PC and Game Pass with Sony’s focus on keeping its latest first-party blockbusters like Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarök exclusive to console for the first few years.

I feel like the Xbox has been in “wait until next year” mode since Quantum Leap came out.

It sounds like she thought she had more clout than she did. I lol’d at the petty passive aggressive move of sending her boss a Wikipedia link for character arcs. That’s some god tier narcissism.

“While overtime is not mandatory, The Washington Post reports that Blizzard is using company stock bonuses and $25 DoorDash gift cards to encourage staff to work longer to get the game done.”
