You sound fun

Those Star Wars cartoons that are aimed at getting kids interested in the property didn’t speak to you? You don’t say!

So to borrow a phrase from Mr. Plinkett, “they made it more bigger and more better-er”?

In my job, I see children who are the victims of abuse and neglect on a daily basis. Through this work I have lost all faith in CPS and our other systems setup to protect them. To say it has had a negative impact on me physically and emotionally would be an understatement. My eye pretty much always twitches now due to…

Dudes fuck up other dudes so bad. It’s real depressing. Every element of toxic masculinity comes back to men being shitty to other men. 

‘I know what I’m working on, I know what I’ve gotten myself into here.’

“Other people I’ve talked to have been like, ‘I know what I’m working on, I know what I’ve gotten myself into here.’ And you start to blame yourself for being shitty or weak or spineless.”

This person applied and WANTED to work at NetherRealm. Are you telling me that they had never seen the kind of work they do? Had no idea the type of work they WOULD be doing?

Agreed. The article isn’t even about whether or not these people are filing complaints or complaining, more about the fact that this game, and other games have effects on the people working on them akin to PTSD

This is shockingly bleak, and I'm embarrassed to say that I never really considered what the process of creating this sort of thing could do to a person. I'm glad that everyone got their game out to good reviews and decent pay, but this is a grim toll that shouldn't be part of the process of creating art and…

Man, these grey comments about workers not being able to handle the content of a game they signed on to make, way to miss the point. Exposure to material like this effects the human psyche negatively, blanket statement, end of story. Even if the extent of that damage is desensitization and is largely not at a…

Riot is very committed to cleaning up its culture as long as it faces zero consequences, zero scrutiny, and doesn’t have to fire anyone of any real significance.

tDR did design work for musicians and venues such as Aphex Twin, Autechre, Gatecrasher, The Orb and Warp Records. They were wholeheartedly a major player in creating the vibe and aesthetic from then.

In the U.S., the first game will always remind me of artist parties in abandoned Williamsburg, Brooklyn factories, when the neighborhood was still raw as hell and before that all became a cliche. Same vibe.

“There was no one there to tell him “no” at any stage.”

You did say it.  You’re wrong, but you said it.

It was also very nice to see the outpouring of support the audience gave Kelly Marie Tran during the Episode IX panel. That and the support for Best were just lovely moments.

The Phantom Menace is probably about as close as any movie ever got to what George Lucas’s vision of what Star Wars was supposed to be. If you read the earliest drafts of his screenplay for the movie we now call A New Hope, the tone is much closer to TPM — a clear pastiche of Alex Raymond’s Flash Gordon comic strips…
