He might already have a job. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that he’s a very well paid programmer somewhere else who busts bugs as a lucrative hobby.

What the fuck is this fucking sentence? Jesus. “Say what you will about this guy who perpetuates ‘no girls allowed’ toxic masculinity in the alt-right redpill breeding ground and drops n-bombs with the weak-ass 90s-era ‘just singin’ along brah!’ excuse, he presses buttons good!” is a fucking idiotic take. A n-bomb is…

Soylent Green’s The Walking Dead Stray Observations: Tonight, We Bid Adieu to Rick Grimes, or Grimey, as He Liked to be Called: Edition

I used to work at TrustedReviews - I left several months before the offending article was published. I don’t have intimate knowledge of why TI Media, which owns TrustedReviews, chose to settle the case, but I know no laws were broken obtaining the documents. To my knowledge, they were emailed anonymously to a member…

I mean, you could certainly make the argument that all information serves a public good and that part of a journalist’s job is cutting through the marketing cycle instead of just regurgitating what publishers want said. But let’s say you don’t believe in that argument. Here’s a good example.

Yeah I too am fearful of the slippery slope this could represent.   We should be scared when a big corporation goes after the press.  Sue the employee who leaked to the press.  (Or if the press obtained through legal means then this is warranted.)

There’s an important distinction to be made here between a leaker and a journalist. When someone leaks a document to the journalist, it’s entirely the journalist’s prerogative whether or not they want to report on that. They have not signed any NDAs and have no obligation to protect companies’ secrets. In fact, a…

Cause trans people’s lives aren’t hard enough. Fuck, leave them alone.

This is why I’m definitely not expecting Cyberpunk to be anything amazing. It’ll be another CD Projekt game, and the people that liked Witcher will probably like it, which is good I guess, but these tweets are incredibly alarming to anyone in contact with LGBTQA+ members of the gaming community.  The politics of…

You know, at this point it’s no longer a bug. This is a feature.

They’re probably hoping people go digital instead of waiting for physical copies, that way they can milk every margin dollar they can out of sales. Why take a cut to have someone else sell our game when we can do it ourselves at full ticket price?

Don’t know which I find harder to believe, the fact Telltale was run by a management so incompetent they’d think something like this is workable (a company hiring dozens of people already spread to the wind all of a sudden on contracts for a product they have no experience publishing nor even the rights for…

It's not going to deter people from peppering you until you are low and then watch you die by an NPC... Seriously. Screw PvP in PvE environments...

Since it wasn’t mentioned here, the reward money for killing a griefer is taken from his own inventory, and while “marked” is unable to see anyone else on the map.

That’s all well and good for this game, because I’m not gonna play it anyway.

But if I can’t get adult mods in Stellaris and Elder Scrolls VI, why would I even play those games? The plot? Pffft.

I’m getting a bit tired of having to register for Yet Another Service every time I turn around. That’s part of why I haven’t bothered with Creation Club, even once I learned that they have ‘free’ mods every so often. And why I don’t have GoG & GMG (and others) alongside my Steam, Origin, Ubisoft, and Blizzard…

The problem in GTA Online is that Max Level means you cheated or exploited and didn’t do it stupidly enough to get banned. Or you’re one of those crazy fucking stupid people who spend literally thousands of dollars on Shark Cards to get ahead in line and are contributing to a revenue generation method that is…

Nothing sells Shark Cards faster than game-breaking grief machines, I assume.

Kinda blows that you can’t really run around in active mode anymore in GTA. I’m fine with getting ganked, or gank-ing, but having people fly by an nuke you randomly is just unfun.
