I fear the comments that are coming, but thank you for pushing back on this garbage. The trial was a nasty hateful carnival where everybody clearly relished the opportunity to weaponize their misogyny with no reservations, and I’m sorry for all the women that behavior pressured into silence.

It 1000% calls into question the meaning of what it is to remake a game.

Fans went into 7R expecting a paradox: for every single aspect of the game to be changed, and yet everything be the same. New graphics, audio, gameplay, content...all things which fundamentally change the experience of the player, and are the…

It’s almost like the first game slowed the pacing way down because the Midgar section had a ton of unused potential (and let’s be honest, having the first part be in one city helped keep production simpler), and from here they’ll simply pick up the pace a bit. I’m not sure why some people think 50 hours in Midgar…

Nope. Listen, I’ve loved Diablo from day 1, played Hellfire, used to wake up before school to grind for runes in D2, and enjoyed D3 post auction house, but there is no way in hell I’m downloading Immortal. Yeah, I could play for free, but number of downloads is still a metric Blizzard uses; number of “potential…

“Unless it happens to one of their own, they’re not going to do anything,” another local explains.

...Mastriano is no ordinary Republican. Not only does he support a complete ban on abortion; per Politico, he also arranged bus transportation to the January 6 insurrection and, the New York Times reports, has attended numerous events organized by QAnon conspiracy theorists.

They will buy a pizza pie and then light it on fire.

This isn’t cancel culture. It’s consequence culture, also known as accountability. She publicly embarrassed her employers. She got fired. The same logic applies to an eSports company in 2022 as would have applied at a tobacco company in 1952: You can collect checks. You can embarrass your employer. You don’t have a…

I’m 6'2 and think it’s hilarious that she was fired.

I’m 6'2" and I have no issues with her being fired.

I’m 6' and I don’t have any problem with her being fired. I can’t pretend to comprehend the cultural implications of the slang she used, but you can say “I prefer tall men” without saying “Short men aren’t humans and should have surgery to fix their defect”. Replace tall/short with any other immutable identifier about…

because crypto is a scam.

Game Pass needs to slow the fuck down.

Just because someone is enjoying a game that others don’t like doesn’t mean that they have been paid off.

Yeah, give up and roll over. That’s a much better strategy.

Nah, the rank and file folks doing the work aren’t the issue. It’s a top-down problem, and the company needs new leadership. That doesn’t require burning the place to the foundation and salting the earth. It requires removing the offenders and putting people in their place that understand what needs to change about…

Maybe, but you still remove the original tumor.  You sure as shit don’t just leave it there to continue metastasizing.  There’s no path to wellness that doesn’t involve excision of the original source of the infection.  

This is what I am responding to:

You’re correct, there is only one type of person that still says “the Orient”-and they know who they are.

I lost it at “tastes like bird.” And will probably now go get a Burger King chicken sammich for lunch because I hate myself and that line was funny. So good job, human writer pretending to be an AI bot.
