“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

Conservatives: “OMG! HOW DARE YOU TEACH OUR CHILDREN HOW SHITTY WE ARE TO PEOPLE WE DON’T KNOW BUT HATE BECAUSE REASONS!!”

You can’t even claim that it was ripped from the game (though, yes, having the asset disappear from EGS), because nobody knows where *FROMSOFTWARE* got the animation, but it’s highly unlikely that it was created in-house. Many developers *license* their assets from third parties, not just tools and extensions. In this…

One thing is certain — the gaggle of greedy, incompetent nincompoops running things have a never-ending supply of excuses and scapegoats for their equally endless stream of fuckups.

More to the point, it wasn’t about her performance. By that I mean, award shows also tend not to look favorably on ‘superhero’ movies for anything regarding actor performances. Scripts, VFX, sound, and such? Sure. They win awards for those, but acting? Almost never. You’d be hard-pressed to find any superhero film…

If you think deleting these videos is going to stop AI tools from ‘stealing’ his voice (or his likeness, etc), I can assure you that it will not. The only thing that will be accomplished is removing what little revenue his work is still generating after his death.

There’s no such thing as a self-made billionaire (and even millionaires, at this level of inflation, is suspect). The only way to build wealth is through unbridled exploitation, almost exclusively of the people who have no power to stop being exploited (ie, the poor). The only way to exploit others is by one form of…

Is DeSantis Using Racism to Win the Presidency?

I’m going to guess that part of the problems underlying 2077 is that the CD Projekt team hit hit it big with Witcher 3 and the people in charge of the company lost sight of the decades-long process — the original Witcher game started development 20+ years ago! — that brought them to that success in the first place.…

So, in other words, the right hand didn’t talk to the left hand. Part of the development team was building a ‘shooter on rails’ experience while another part of the team was building an open-world exporatorium. And NEITHER team communicated enough to identify an obvious incompatibility with those two approaches.

Microsoft didn’t ‘become’ a gaming powerhouse. They bought their way to success. Prior to buying up various studios to create their own gaming brand, Microsoft’s gaming ventures were virtually non-existent.

True story: ‘gun control’ laws are all in response to *BLACK* people exercising their 2nd amendment rights. Which is to say, white people are fine with other white people having guns, even when ‘very fine white people’ use those guns to kill children -- ‘thoughts and prayers’ — but completely lose their shit when…

Racist white motherfuckers, the patrons of ‘Dur, which way do I turn again?” racing, are a fading demographic. Sadly, NASCAR has no way out. They can’t court sane people without pissing off the racist demographic they’re relying on to keep them afloat.

Why are the champions of white supremacy such stellar examples that no such thing exists? Because the ‘movement’ is comprised of a bunch of useless mediocre white people who know they’re useless and mediocre and can’t compete in a fair and equal society. Thus, they take extreme measures to ensure no such society ever…

What’s so telling about this list is that the *WORST* presidents are also iconic REPUBLICAN presidents...to the surprise of absolutely no one who has watched the party dissolve into an incoherent mess of rabid extremism and violet rhetoric in its spiraling desperate bid to stay in power. When your solution to…

Translation: where real estate ‘investing’ speculators will strike next. Because if you can afford to live where you work, they haven’t finished extracting maximum profits from your community.

Because antivaxxers refused to get it, which eliminated the whole purpose of getting the vaccine — herd immunity — giving the disease plenty transmission vectors to spread so that it just kept going and mutating into dozens of different variants with escalating resistance to the vaccine.

Society should NEVER reward deliberate ignorance or stupidity. That’s psych 101-level obviousness — you get more of the behaviors you reward. And because companies are part of society, they should give the boot to people practicing deliberate ignorance or stupidity. At the very least, to the people who refuse to…

Even if the GOP is slowly collapsing, I would point out that they courted and legitimized America’s fringe-crazy, radical, violent extremist in their descent to hell (because there was no else left to court for votes). That should concern you, because that particular group isn’t going to let go of its power quietly.…

‘3/5ths’ didn’t start out as law of the land for no reason. It’s a culture of believed superiority, and it exists at the core of Christianity. Contrary to popular belief, White Supremacy and Christianity are connected at the hip. They are inseparable. Or haven’t you noticed how Christianity’s figurehead, a man…
