I mean, I feel like Game Pass is brilliant for Service Games, or games that FEEL like Service Games. If you can just sort of play it every week on a steady treadmill of “do random stuff to inch forward” then, yeah.
AND I can imagine that would absolutely increase sales for SOME games. It’s a very logical event we see…

I... don’t disagree with anything you just posted. I was only trying to point out that when someone says “Reznor is all of NIN”, the fact that he works with other musicians doesn’t really matter. That statement is perfectly fair to say, because Reznor has final say on everything he does. The usual “band works together…

Now I feel like I’m just being called out.

Pretty Hate Machine was his first album, he couldn’t play drums, and also, isn’t actually the album he wanted to release. It was heavily produced by TVT Records before he got signed to Interscope and got his own label. Pretty Hate Machine was an altered version of a series of demos he had recorded, and TVT asked for…

I think the implication of the statement is that, quite literally, Trent Reznor write, composes, and produces ALL of NIN by himself. A few times earlier, he did it with Atticus Ross. Now, they BOTH officially compose NIN. But quite literally, without exaggeration, Trent Reznor IS Nine Inch Nails. Yes, he gets a full…

The whole point is, the visualization of the scene is clearly meant to evoke a sexualized set of imagery for the VIEWER. Could easily have been written any other way (as, you know, writers and scene directors are allowed to create things however they want). They chose to make it kinda’ sexually weird in a needless…

I mean... the PS4 has an install base of like, 90 million users. NOT selling games on the PS4 would be leaving money on the table, and depriving gamers of experiences, all for the sake of making a version of the game that looks less than 10% better, loads faster, and has minor ray tracing...

No, see, THIS is why games journalists are treated like children when compared to most other fields of journalists: because you do the bare minimum of research, you specifically put more ‘feeling’ into it than pure reporting, and you write attention-grabbing pieces for the purpose of click-baiting, which I’m willing…

Like... why do people care if Logan Paul ISN’T a piece of crap who scammed his audience? Why are people rising up to defend this guy? I really don’t get it. If my favorite videogame franchise (like Halo) treated me poorly and used me as it’s own personal disposable income, while making very little effort in rectifying…

Wouldn’t it be incredible if they rebooted FF Tactics with the same engine as Harvestella/DioField Chronicles, made it play like classic FFT, and then used all of the Jobs and art from FF14? Like, Gunbreaker, Sage (but with lasers), Reaper, Dancer (but with chakram), ect?

I only partially agree here... if I’m a creator (I am literally an artist), and I create something, I don’t like the idea that, you know, someone could just use my art to sell their own stuff and just steal my shit. That’s not fair to me. I don’t post any of my art online at the moment specifically because I would…

This is actually EXACTLY what I thought when I read the headline. “Yuji Naka? Doesn’t surprise me.”  And then it was about insider trading, and I was like, “Huh. LAST thing I would have expected.”

I’m not sure about this... but I have to imagine there are other actors who aren’t necessarily Hollywood actors who feel that it’s unfair how wide the pay gap is between those professions. Like, the voice Actor for Kratos swapped from that to VA, but only because he got to be the voice of a franchise that Sony owned,…

I saw the hamsa hand thing, which is a... symbol of protection... and I only saw the horned mask later. Which, like, shows up in lots of cultures, but definitely feels Asian here (horns and tusks and all making me think ogres/oni).

But yes. No idea how anyone can see this WHOLE mural, and zero in on that. Like, “If I…

This is one of the few instances where I’m like “Can we put a red circle on the part you’re talking about? I literally see nothing out of the ordinary here.”

Like... the kid PAINTED. A MURAL. Do you know how much I would have been terrified of doing that? I wouldn’t have been that brave (people criticizing my artwork),…

See, that’s what’s so interesting. Magnus has been acting funny for a while now, so is this just more of that, or is this just... misdirection? But for WHAT? Like, either he lost for real, and is being a dick, or he knows he didn’t, and is just... like, at this point, what could he say? Could he have ever salvaged…

This, I feel, should be where everyone is at with this.

Either Magnus was genuinely defeated, and is being a total ass about it, or:

Neimann cheated, and Magnus is trying to make it Neimann’s problem, not his own.

I kind of don’t know what to hope the outcome is... but it feels wrong to be hopefully for anything. Reality…

Entirely possible, no doubt. But Square isn’t talking sales figures anymore. This typically means only one thing: they aren’t good. Typically, if your product is doing well, you talk about it. There’s no incentive to hide it, quite the opposite, usually. It looks bad to investors and whatnot when you clam up about…

Because nobody wants to defend hate mongers such as racists, phobes, and misogynists.

And nobody will EVER complain about those types of people getting taken down for any reason.

And if you support the idea that “nobody should be allowed to tell me how to think”, I’d agree with you. So stop supporting people and their…

I mean... who exactly are they impressing as well? Who is really sitting there going “damn right you’re saying this! In a... in a table-top RPG! That just 2 seconds ago I would have said was the work of Satan and is unAmerican!”

Like, if you were part of the apparatus of talking heads and public figures, sure... but…
