the king seems content in his marriage (to, I will stress once again, an underage girl)

I object to Jenna’s description of the final battle as thrilling — everything about it was totally obvious and not shot in an interesting enough way to make up for that. This is my biggest complaint about this show so far: it just seems like box-ticking and moving pieces into place.

Yeach, I think Kotaku ought to be writing THIS up instead of giving these guys the article the press they're clearly looking for.

You know what Disney got wrong with Star Wars?

I’m feeling some cognitive dissonance with how everyone that stayed at Giantbomb and everyone that left acting like everything was great with the new ownership, so great that the staff split in half and just created what appears to be the same company in everything but name and ownership.

If you leave a company, then start a new company that does exactly what you did before, it’s hard to not just assume it was because of the company.

So the only problem here is that he’s rich, basically?

Man, I wish I was born having already created a really famous internet platform and married to a tremendously wealthy tennis player (things apparently some people can do prior to their own birth). Then I’d never have had to deal with being working class the lion’s share of my life. Unlike this lucky guy.

A real man would have pulled the engine, tore it down on the kitchen table, replaced the Type-4 crankshaft with a counterbalanced unit, (Stroker crank? Maybe?) weighed and balanced the rods and pistons (That’s why god created Dremel tools and cheap scales) lapped the valves, and replaced the rings. It would help a lot…

There’s a great Apatow interview, where he talks about how any movie that tries to meaningfully capture life is going to be rated R, because adult life is rated R.

sort of a bummer to hear, had a feeling this might be lackluster when I saw it was rated PG-13

This statement from SE tells us less than nothing. I still expect 2023 for Part 2 at the earliest. Streamlined development has never been SquareEnix’s forte even back when they were still Square and Enix.

I mean, it’s not really supposed to be a tactical, dynamic fight, it’s supposed to be a mad scramble just to stay alive while you unload every single bullet and pipe bomb you have into the thing. The game stocks you up plenty beforehand and there’s ammo littered everywhere in the environment where the fight takes…

This is actually non-trivial to do well, since binocular depth and apparent focal depth may not sync up. Yes, one could just re-render, but creating good stereoscopic content requires thinking about the limitations of the presentation technology. Depth of field and other tools of cinematographers are less readily…

I was always under the impression that the original intent of that message was to pre-empt possible criticism of the first Assassin’s Creed game. That game was set in the Crusades and involved a religious conflict between people of Catholic, Jewish and Islamic faiths. Not many games would venture into that thematic…

I’m definitely torn on this mentality.

On the one hand saying “serious allegations” to a company that has a very bad work life balance diminishes other allegations that are very serious.

As software engineers, we for sure have agency. Getting a new job in this industry (tech) isn’t all that rare (this isn’t up for…

seems that you can interpret that in a million different ways, but doing such a lame self-insert is the real crime here.
