Jesus this man is insufferable.

I wouldn’t say the story is “rotten to the core.” That would imply that it’s off putting or sickening in some sense.

Instead it’s flat, flavourless and bland.

They also already made three films based on exactly what Snyder is proposing (Kingsman). From a much better action director than Snyder ever will be.

It’d be cool to see, like, 20-year-old James Bond. The humble roots that he comes from. Whatever trauma of youth that makes you be able to be James Bond. There has to be something there.

He makes movies that are fun to watch, and that’s it.

It’s more like “Holy shit, this Whopper I ordered has wilted lettuce, old cheese, and I’m pretty sure this isn’t even beef.”

Eh...maybe.

A limited nuclear exchange is still a possibility. Outside of the Russian Federation and US and Communist China mag-dumping their ICBMs, nuclear exchanges don’t necessarily have to end all of human civilization. Having a comfortable place where you can hunker down for a month or two while the worst of the radiation…

“I have never in my 13 years of playing Dota 2 ever done anything like this, and when I realized it felt wrong and was the wrong way to go about things, I stopped it, sadly you can’t undo a mistake you made,” he wrote. “I’m asking for a second chance, because I will never do anything like this again, and I never have…

Mason: “So that’s it? After 13 years, so long, good luck?”

So you’re saying NASA needs to hire the world’s best drillers? 

Websites can ask Chrome what categories you’re in, but they won’t be able to figure out exactly who you are...

I’m not sure what the actual “vetting” process would entail..? The Day Before was a playable game that wasn’t infected with any malware. That’s pretty much the only criteria required to sell something on Steam. Quality is largely subjective so if you’re expecting Valve to curate, that means a lot of good games would…

Holy crap someone else who actually remembers the days where people were mad that Valve were the arbiters of what got released on PC.

there used to be something like that...but people complained about Valve “Gatekeeping”...so they changed it to $100 and you can put up your game.

I think it’s clear they planned to dump it and run with whatever they got. You don’t drop everything a few days after release if it was a lack of funds, you can’t launch a game if you’re that close to bankruptcy. It might not have started as a scam, but that’s what it became.

It was often the most wishlisted game on Steam for much of 2023. A lot of people thought a no-name development team could build a AAA open world MMO.  It didn’t help that the dev team CLEARLY LIED about what features would be in the game.

Scott did the same thing on Alien. From Wiki:
