Even then, broadly speaking: why does it matter if a movie did/didn’t make $1 billion? A movie can be successful without getting to $1 billion.

I love this.

Most normal people: “Dang, sounds like a lot of drama an executive meddling. I suppose it’s expected of a company this size.”

Those Weirdos Online: “GET WOKE GO BROOKEEE. This is what happens when you make a GIRL a superhero! I called this with Captain Marvel! The day has finally come!”

It is addition by subtraction. Inhumans was his thing too. Heh

“Hey everyone! Let’s stop what we’re doing and let Bobby Kotick lecture us about morality and decency in business!”

Hi, just a friendly reminder that Bobby Kotick is a piece of shit and the world would be better off if literally the entire fleet of Greyhound busses ran over him (and the rest of Activision-Blizzard executive leadership, for that matter).

Actual Conservative legal theory should be very pro-abortion. A person making decisions about their body should not be anything the state has influence on. It was weird during COVID when Conservative legal scholars were making pro-abortion legal arguments fighting agains vaccine mandates and Liberal scholars making…

A group of prisoners and the executioners tasked with overseeing them explore a mysterious island named Kotaku…

Companies deserve no pity when people say that they should offer games commercially in perpetuity. It’s the least they could do as it was THEM who lobbied to this day, that copyright terms have become life of the autor plus 75+ years.

Apparently Ashley (the author) has never been to Japan.

“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…

Trump picked some ignorant, sons of bitches to have a life long job F’n up other peoples lives.

We can only hope that Turmpzilla and DeSantisorah declare all out war on each other during the primaries and as a consequence make each other completely unelectable. That way no matter which one of them wins the primary, the Republicans lose in the general.

Yet another reason not to go to Florida anymore. They’re fucking nuts down there.

Fucking Florida...

“it’s neither truly “AI” or art”

That sounds like a lot more work than these AI people are willing to do though.

And corporate executive offices...

Majora’s Mask is I think too polarizing of a choice for this list, especially when LTTP or other games in the series might be better suited. 

It’s a riff on Roseanne Barr blaming her racist tweets on Ambien.
