Still waiting on a Return to Monkey Island review, but I guess yet another update on what a Twitch streamer pulled out of their nose this morning will have to do.

I can’t overstate how disappointing this article is. Judging people by what they wear and not, say, what they’ve accomplished (you know, what awards shows are meant to be about) deserves every bit of pushback.

“So, basically, invite more marginalized people to The Game Awards, give more marginalized people jobs in the industry, and maybe let someone who isn’t a white guy named Todd or Glen make a triple-A game. Then The Game Awards may start looking like a proper awards show.”

Maybe have this be the crux of the article…

“If this executive doesn’t spend at least $600 on an outfit, THEN HE’S RUINING MY DAY GOD DAMN IT.” - Conservative paraphrase of this article

Frankly, the Oscars are already a bore that serves as a marketing tool for (mostly) bad movies. The Game Awards are essentially the same thing for another industry, so it makes sense that it would be a bore, too.

Of all the things that’d make it less boring, though, the fashion sense of the attendees is the last thing…

Yep, out of all the current issues with the industry, game execs and designers not wearing enough couture is definitely pressing.

This article: The Game Awards highlight this completely negligible thing that doesn’t have anything to do with the actual problems of the industry.

Me: The Game Awards highlight almost everything bad about the industry right now, like throwing money at a completely irrelevant event, that is only important because of…

It’s bad enough that the Oscars and other awards shows are stuffy, elitist back-patting fluff. Let’s not turn TGA into that as well. If clothing designers want to dress attendees on their dime, fine. But this is all coming off as clothing-shaming as it is now.

When Gucci starts calling up these folks to loan them astronomically expensive outfits we can start being critical of their wardrobe choices... until then... come on... this is *not* the Oscars.

Yes, how dare they... not dress fashionably enough?

His bomber jacket is probably a couple hundred dollars, and his dad jeans may be some pricey label. Although the bomber jacket covers his wrist, he strikes me as a Rolex kind of guy, but a TAG Heuer or Carty wouldn’t shock me. A TAG Carrera or Monaco in particular seems like something a Forza fan would dig.

Well then you never engaged with a single work of art ever produced in the game, because that’s where it all comes up, constantly. Engravings, artifacts, statues, carvings, everything of that nature. You also can’t have checked any dwarf’s family history, since (other than I think your starting dwarves), they’re all…

It’s a trailer. in 999 out of 1000 cases trailers never have anything off the actual soundtrack. LOTR didn’t include the the entirety of the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack just because Lux Aeterna was in the trailer for the second film. I would read littearlly nothing into the soundtrack of any show or movie based off…

Your math is in fact wrong because the events are not independent. Ad absurdum, imagine there are only 2 days in the year and 3 people: if person A and B don’t share a birthday, person C must share a birthday with one of them. You start off well, we need to calculate the probability that 2 people don’t share a…

I’m not a programmer, but I wouldn’t expect a patch that fixes some of these issues to be large. It seems more like code issues which to me wouldn’t take up a lot of room - I would think the graphics and stuff would be large and I doubt those are what need fixed directly, but that’s just me.

Naw, Nintendo knows exactly how 95%+ of their community functions. You know how many Nintendo customers care about the pro smash scene? <1%.

The original game also only had 32 courses at launch, and 48 after DLC.  This pack brings the number of courses to 96.

TIL the Switch version of Mario Kart 8 is still getting DLC tracks. The original game is over 8 years old.

hopefully when they get done with these maps they can finally release a new Mario Kart:
