Honestly, as somebody who chooses their words carefully—or at least tries very hard to—I would have just stayed away from any word or phrase that could evoke any means of suicide, whether or not the cause was known. That they happened to land on the phrase they did is just profound misfortune all around.

What in the allegorical fuck? Yeah, I would be intrigued to know how many people signed off on this marketing email before it went out. Especially since I bet every one of them makes more in a month than my annual income.

Zero chance. They’ll no doubt find a way to set up the plans in order to make you pay for games just to get 4K/HDR streaming.

Jeez, wow, I had no idea... THANKS! 😳 Why the hell don’t all streaming services have something like that just as a matter of course?! 🤨

Well, I already have to watch Twitch and YouTube and everything in Edge (Literally the only thing I use it for) because a couple years back Chrome-chrome simply stopped being able to play video at full framerate for some reason. Like it just completely shits the bed, yet Edge-chrome works fine. Given that they’re…

Arrested? For recreating a dead MMO? Jesus hopscotching Christ. I mean, I know we joke about how ridiculously litigious and punitive companies like Disney and Nintendo are...but what’s next? They just going to start having people executed for downloading Marvel and Star Wars movies and shows?

Yesssss! I first watched it a couple years ago. I’m planning on watching it with my sister some time...she loves good proper sci-fi when exposed to it, but doesn’t seek it out. Predestination will melt her brain. 😂

What? No Predestination, seriously? 🤨

Fun fact: In Germany, the dog gets top billing in The Sandlot; the German release bears the alternate title “Herkules und die Sandlot Kids”

Oof. Yeah, I certainly feel bad for anybody who was streaming it exclusively. Penny-Arcade was streaming SBB something like one night a week for a while and everybody was totally in love with the game. No one was happy to hear about the buyout and NFT nonsense, but at least they’ve got like a million other things to…

GOD DAMMIT.

Date? Over dinner? Well, this is one time I will definitely not be suggesting Kingdom Death: Monster. 😂

idk, I kinda envy anyone who has so much food... 😑

You forgot the best gaming-related April Fool’s joke; the Gundam Evolution playtest. Licenses went out sometime around midnight to those who got in. We install the game, run it, watch the intro cinematic... And are greeted with an ‘unable to connect’ error, because the playtest doesn’t begin until 4/7. And there’s no…

I hadn’t really been watching any of the anime on Netflix, aside from a few Netflix-backed exclusives like Blame!, but I finally started watching Demon Slayer. Man that show is 🔥🔥🔥

That’s the really completely insane thing about the DMCA and everything... They made this turn-key system where every asshole on Earth can file a copyright claim against you with literally the push of a button, with zero disincentive for making false claims. Of course this is what’s going to happen, idiots!

Seriously. I have so many really good games I’m already neglecting...if there’s something new that catches my eye, it’s actually a relief when I’m given a reason not to care about it!

SBB was a popular game in one of the communities I frequent, and the moment word of this buyout came down, the opinion was pretty much unanimously “Well, it was fun while it lasted.” People immediately dropped it like it was on fire and made of spiders. 😬

Well, the claim was from Nintendo, and not Sony. I did fight it, but I also made the video private. It seems that in the past year or two, they finally retracted the claim. (It was still there as recently as early 2020, as I recall.)
