Yeah, I’m beyond tired of people saying shitty things and then claiming it was a joke when they’re called on it.

Gonna be honest. As a simple and sometimes pathetically empathetic person, I dig what she had to say. Even IF the commenter didn’t deserve to hear that (he did), there are a whooooooooooole lot of other peeps that absolutely need to hear what she had to say.

As usual, streamer news about someone of whom I have never heard and makes me feel old. But of all the stupidity exemplified by shitty guys in this story, the Minecraft quote sticks out to me for some reason.

Streaming will forever be something I just do not get. Like are these dbags hate/rage-watching women stream? Each passing day also moves me more into the “internet was a mistake” camp.

Nah, just Nintendo being salty.

The Japanese can be very touchy about this sort of thing. If even one employee in your company leaks this information, well, it is a breach of trust and an act of disrespect. How can they then trust Netflix when their corporate culture is so lax that their employees casually leak secrets?

This week’s video game podcasts:

Except he’s done that. Repeatedly.

It’s not just the monthly subs though, it’s that a 6-month card now costs $60. Twice what it used to.

Someone call Jack Thompson.  He’ll be culturally relevant again in a few years.

The crazy thing is if his coping method was to just sit in front of the TV watching football or something they probably wouldn’t say a thing about “screentime”.

Parents always worry. That’s what parents do. I’m old enough to remember when Mortal Kombat was going to turn us all into serial killers and The Simpsons was destroying our values. You could run this article every 10 years with a new set of parents and it will always be the same. Weird front page choice for sure.

I graduated high school just after the original iPhone launched. I remember my teachers showing it to us in class talking about how great it would be.

If this wasn’t full of COVID-19 references, I would think this was published 20 years ago. Also, that quote from his mom...

As a mid-30s guy who played a lot of games, specifically Animal Crossing and its built in sense of virtual community, during all of this to keep sane and in touch with friends and family, this NYT article can kindly fuck off. I’ll keep sussing my 8-year-old nieces and nephews in Among Us from afar on a weekly basis (be…

“I don’t feel entitled”

This mess really isn’t on EGS or Steam, but on IOI. They kept stating content and progress would carry over as recently as two weeks ago, when they had no such system - and let’s be clear, such systems CAN be coded. Klei did it, for example. You just have to handle it yourself, since “cross-storefront purchase…

It’s gorgeous, but the town is nuts.

Sedona is a diss to Arizona. It’s full of snowbird nutcases and hippies.

The celshading looks marginally better than the earliest CG shows, but I’ve seen Japanese hobbyist animators doing better since the turn of the millennium.
