Live look at Faze:

“Faze Clan, which as recently as last year seemed an unstoppable cultural force for the genre of dudes who both play video games and aspire to own lambos, is in trouble”

I’ll be honest: no, it didn’t really seem like that. It seemed like an over-capitalized flash in the pan that was going to crash and burn because they…

Michelle Obama and George Bush didn’t strip the U.S. of Roe v Wade or hundreds of thousands of live due to covid, or anything else that’s the direct result of that orange fuckwit. So yes, that’s my mentality. And go fuck yourself.

“Games like FFVII recontextualized the skirt as feminine clothing item not only for women to wear, but to be sexualized in.”

This strikes me as an odd blanket statement. Skirts have been sexualized for far longer than their appearance in videogames, and their usage in games is reflective of their usage in reality…

In a perfect world, a judge would read out his sentence, pause for effect, and finish with “not in Minecraft”.

Now before everybody jumps on here and says he looks like what you’d expect a 4Chan tough guy to look like, hear me out...

He looks exactly like I would expect a 4Chant tough guy to look like.

Title promises bloopers, we get 1 sort of blooper and a bunch of unrelated instagram posts. Sheesh. 

Kelly Clarkson has a talk show?

They should’ve did what Sony did, same internals and hardware so there’s no power disparity, and just dropped the disc drive and made it a digital Series X. Instead they doubled down, no disc drive and far less capable hardware, I get what they were going for but it’s clearly becoming a bit of an issue now for…

Film rights =/= video game rights.

Sony can spend all its energy trying to block this deal, which will reduce competition and slow the evolution of the market.

I don’t see GaaS going anywhere. There’s just too much money in it. The top grossing games of any given year are all live service games and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. Publishers aren’t going to ignore that.

People aren’t GameStop’s most precious resource.

Then you’re a sociopath, Girlfriend Games is incredibly wholesome and they were actively donating to The Trevor Project while streaming, the psychos that hijacked their streams and brought a woman to tears through bullying aren’t allies of anything or anyone, they’re using trans suffering as an excuse to be shit…

Next he’s going to whine that Nintendo was outselling Activison playing cards, back in the 1920s.

AMV Hell was the one I immediately thought of, as well.

Not every joke in that series landed, but luckily, the ones that didn’t were five seconds long at max and quickly went onto something else.

Seriously. Takeshi’s Castle is much funnier than anything that has come after, especially the dub that removes all of the comedy and replaces it with one liners.

You are exactly right, and this article is mostly reductive correlation. Common factors in folks who favor support roles in games are that they enjoy the social aspect more than the competitive play, and they enjoy helping the group achieve goals over individual glory (putting others first, empathy). So far, studies…
