Not gonna happen. Leaving aside that any Republican running for President is facing a popular vote deficit that grows by three million or so every four years as more of their most reliable voters die off and aren’t replaced (to say nothing of how repeatedly screwing everyone who isn’t a Boomer or an Xer willing to…

Considering how little the unskippable sex scenes added to Cyberpunk I’m pretty OK with this.

Hammond is a terrible critic, which makes this slightly easier to believe. But I will bet money this is a lie to draw traffic.

My father hated video games (for...complex reasons I don’t wanna get into) but he loved Tetris. He took me to the arcade and while I wandered around he’d sink a few quarters into it.

As somebody with actual formal film criticism training, this is kind of the equivalent of taking your critical credibility out on stage and then just slowly and bloodily murdering it in front of the entire world.

It’ll be hilarious if the Silicon Valley Bank shitshow is what sinks this deal. Frankly the whole thing is stupid and insane, so banks deciding that, nah, they will NOT let Microsoft spend $69 billion on a company with clear and serious legal problems, is probably the best outcome for all parties.

There was absolutely every reason to believe a situation clearly marked as both temporary and unsustainable in the long term turned out to be those things.

If I were an investor I would be apeshit that it seems they thought Powell was joking about interest rate increases. The Fed has some fault here for not noticing the problem, but at the same time the problem was caused by stupidity so epic it's actually kinda concerning.

It’s not a bailout. The banks are dead, their management has been fired, and their investors aren’t getting their money back.

I feel like male gamers like myself forsook any chance to complain about anybody being gross the day the term “boob physics” was invented.

Yeah, it’s the outfit. They needed to redo the prosthetics a bit if they were going to swap out the clothes. 

I’ll be honest, I find these pieces kinda dull and uninteresting but they are a frolic through the meadow in the golden sunlight next to the crap other gaming sites firehose out there. At least it’s not another piece weeping over how Jenna Ortega compromised the artistic integrity of Wednesday.

I’m gonna take a wild swing here and guess you REALLY miss Tumblr.

We should also note that this ten-year deal is a joke and a sop. Microsoft cannot afford to give up the revenue selling CoD copies on ANY platform, not when they're spending NASA money on a fucking toy company, and both sides know it. This is about Sony not wanting to give a direct competitor a slice of their store…

That’s effectively impossible with the Nintendo deal (which is probably part of the reason Nintendo signed it) and that’d be a lousy deal anyway. The only reason FF is exclusive to PlayStation at all is because the Xbox brand has been horribly mismanaged in Japan, and FF moves a ton of copies in that market. Sony and…

I love how she acts like this is some sort of stunning revelation instead of, you know, a Sony exec clearly articulating company strategy.

Oh don’t worry, you’ll get your wish:

Let's be fair, Apple owns a half of that shit sandwich. And for the same reasons!

More likely they just decided they didn't want to pay because that won't inflate the stock bubble.

Ten bucks says an executive is going to flee the country a day before massive fraud is reported.
