so they spent all the money on AAA studios who have basically underwhelmed people since the acquisition, and none of those acquisitions moved the needle in any meaningful way as far as selling XBoxes. The only move they have left is to scrap exclusivity and try to spin it like they care about gamers and not just the…

at any other point in history you’d be correct, but right now, these protests functionally amount to pro-trump action. any chipping away at Biden’s support right now brings Trump one step closer to the white house. It’s not like the protests will have any tangible effect whatsoever other than functionally serving as…

yeah i think we may have reached the point where Jezebel lost the plot

If those are the stories you want, you can go to literally any major news site. Someone has to cover the other side sometimes, might as well be Jezebel. Besides, expressing anything close to sympathy for dead Palestinian civilians is a fireable offense in the media industry so don’t worry

you can pat yourself on the back and feel like a good citizen when Trump gets in then lol

shh don’t tell them that they don’t wanna hear it

and what do you think happens under a Trump administration? The only net result of this protest movement, literally the only tangible result, will be helping Trump, who you know is going to be more aggressively pro-Israel. These protesters can’t see the forest for the trees, or they just don’t care either way.

Yes because what we really need during this particular election is leftist infighting from people who are laser focused on Gaza and nothing else

looks like his campaign is now in the dustbin of history

step right up for the battle of the cults. i’m here for it

yes, this. gotta love the (probably well-meaning enough) ‘allies’ telling us what the appropriate ways to behave in the face of gradual genocide are. It’s important to be extremely polite as you’re led out behind the sheds for the Ole Yeller treatment <3

Seems like “brainwashing” is a little harsh. Remember, you posted this comment to a site that’s been reporting on how awful CDPR’s practices have been for months and months. So yeah, for what I would charitably guess is the vast majority of people who read this piece, none of this is news. Shouldn’t be terribly…

Them and the Kotaku commentariat, apparently.

This. Most blogoshpere hitpieces either don’t realize this or don’t care and just want the traffic. I feel like most of said hitpieces could be retitled “I Fancy Myself a Journalist but this Random Fucking Swedish Guy is Far More Famous and/or Rich than Me so I’m Mad”.

Why all the bitterness for a harmless meme? Personally I kind of like PewDiePie’s content, it’s just nihilistic enough without leaning too far into it. I know he has said dumb shit but glass houses/throwing stones etc. right?

I pretty much just keep tabs on TWD by reading the odd episode review here. I haven’t been able to sit through an episode since the whole Glenn fake-out in season... 6 I think, which was obvious even before the cliffhanger resolves in the subsequent episode.

I kind of figured Bethesda was bullshitting on some level when they first announced console mod support, and being someone who works in vidya game QA I knew the logistics of getting that to work on PS4 (the console I game on) would be... let’s go with tricky.

Oh man, the nostalgia. My early teens self had both a deep crush on her *and* kind of a desire to be her at the same time. I think my old VHS of The Craft was used so thoroughly over the years the tape itself started really degrading.

This isn’t bad. He can cover the costs. I would be actually worried if Filthy Frank was getting evicted. Shit, I’d start a GoFundMe or some such.

I guess funny really is subjective after all.
