Somehow it escaped them until now that yes—it’s always been about them.

I was there, youngling, when the first AD&D books were published.   Even back then there was a staggered release date.  

SOLD !

Doctors Ten, Eleven and Thirteen tried to be cool but always came across as that elderly relative who has no real idea what being cool involves. From this trailer alone it looks like Doctor Fifteen has finally figured out how to be cool.

*sees comments getting shuttered across the Gizmodoverse*

The original is almost laughably bad when watching today...

a tech bro building a planned city on a bay on the california coast north of san francisco... it’s Night City.

they’re fucking building Night City.

I wish there was a dedicated part of the company that continued the life sim / slice of life games like Hey You Pikachu and Pokemon Channel. Just having different experiences for people that exist in the world beyond trainers is nice. Could make the easiest Animal Crossing vibe game from the Pokemon IP.

I would play…

Pretty much any of the ultra hard games. I’m in my 40's, so I grew up with a lot of NES and SNES games that were hard in comparison to modern counterparts, so it’s not that I can’t get through difficult games. The bigger issue for me is that at this point in my life I just don’t have the time to repeat the same boss…

Kotaku equating AI to NFTs might be the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while. AI has legitimate uses across multiple industries and is inevitably going to be a part of most future development pipelines. It’s not some cash grab fad that’s going to quickly fade away like NFTs.

I mean, we all did that with Rhodey, didn’t we? Worked like a charm. 

Now suddenly everyone’s like “Oh boy, now they can bring in Dr. Doom to replace him for the rest of the multiverse saga!”

That’s plenty of time to generate more barren planets for players to walk around in and go “You know, I could be playing Baldur’s Gate 3 RIGHT NOW”

Except that I doubt the typical Incel has the income needed to buy one.

I can promise you that, if they’d advertised the twist, there’d be a ton of people complaining that “Boy, I wish THAT hadn’t been spoiled in the trailer!”

I always thought when the TV exec suggests that the characters on Itchy & Scratchy should be asking, “Where’s Poochie?” whenever he isn’t on screen was just a funny bit of absurdity. But I’m realizing that this was actually meant to placate an audience that genuinely wanted to know where Poochie went.

I couldn't get into Futurama because John Futurama never showed up *once*.

It actually says “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” on the package.

People incapable of character growth hate character growth.
