Works for me.

They tried that in the Xbox 360/PS3 days, but fundamentally missed the point: eventually, you run out of people with a strong, creative vision, and then the machine can’t be fed with limitless money, and shuts down.

100% with you. Instead of making a sweeping game with the biggest map ever in a game that will take 120 hours to complete the main quest and 200 to 100% complete the game, why not a game with a tight map and a solid 20-30 hours of game play (or, heck, 10 if it’s a great 10!)?

NO Tesla has already cornered that market

I was genuinely kinda interested in the new Charger, and after this ad... man, I dunno. Even if he’s just spewing a bunch of crap that he doesn’t believe in to try and entice the MAGA crowd, it’ll still wind up basically making this the automotive form of a MAGA hat. I wouldn’t wanna been seen in one.

...it statements like this that really makes me wonder how these business people got to where they are. A non-live service game like Hogwarts Legacy outsells every game last year, and then a game burdened with live-service content like Suicide Squad tanks, and they seem to think Suicide Squad is the same sort of game…

When he says “brotherhood” I keep hearing the word “Aryan” in front of it.

And since when was marketing based on objective facts?

So double down on the thing we just said was a failure and move away from the thing that was a financial success?? Well it’s WB/Discovery so i guess that tracks on making dumb decisions.

They are going to keep pushing a future where everything in a game is monetized. The bean counters and executives are making these decisions and the creatives will just have to work around them. I won’t be playing those games however.

Feels like WB’s about to try the ‘They don’t like it so force-feed it to them’ approach to their next live service games.

“Not looking like a melted jellybean.”  Did they look at the meh they are putting out? It’s not a bad looking car, but i wouldn’t go and make fun of other EVs’ shapes just yet 🤣

It’s no longer about giving us quality games. It’s about turning console games into app games with in game purchases. Look, I’m not a competitive gamer. I don’t play Fortnite, Apex and COD players to prove I’m the best player. At that point it becomes a sport. I hate sports! I like to go on single player action/adventu…

Edited from the final cut for time reasons: As he drives back to the future the camera zooms to a closeup of the rear window where there is a decal of Calvin pissing on a Prius.

Finally, an electric car for us assholes!

There’s a cruel Republican solution for that too: make migrants build their own houses.

But then you’d have an inarguable housing crisis staring Congress in the face, and they might actually have to *GASP* solve it. Maybe by throttling the extent to which PE firms can own livable space as an investment category.

At this point I just assume the song choices are a deliberate ploy just to elicit “stop using my work” responses, which is perfect fuel to throw into the big ‘ol “ownin the libtards” bonfire that makes his base so slavishly happy.

the regrettable fact is that after the first Dune novel, the books... kinda aren’t great? they have great major plot beats, broadly speaking, but in the moment to moment they fall far short of the original. like, it was clear that Herbert was struggling the move forward with the story, given how clunky and gnarled the…
