“Anything that brings more people in and engages those people for more time in a context with the extent that I think it’s a good thing over time,”

This is not a sentence that fucking means anything.

I was going to say “the WiiU wasn’t even an error on the same level as the VirtualBoy - people bought the WiiU, it just never did the big number the Wii did” but actually checking the numbers I see it sold significantly less than even the Gmaecub did - numbers that for its era were competely unacceptable. So yeah,…

And the company they work for completely reflects their values as they’re free to act without any form of compromise - because there’s nothing easier on this world than getting a paying job as a writer.

It was very well regarded in its time - but it’s also a decade old now, and AMC has never quite captured the ‘legacy’ cachet that some of its broadcast rivals seems to have.

I remember this from Halt and Catch Fire.

Where they pretend to have done this.

I am not excusing the Star Citizen devs - what little I have played of the game was A) Visually Stunning and B) Totally Broken Garbage. Was not good. Would not recommend. Do not buy. But you can see that work was done - it never came together in a functional way. It was never fun to play. But that’s not the same as…

I don’t own any Star Citizen and haven’t touched I since a buggy mess of a program at a friend’s place before the pandemic.

But even that buggy mess is far more of a product than anything these NFT bros just got.

(Honestly, Star Citizen As Vaporware is such a bad take. They absolutely delivered a product. Is it any…

Those songs are already orchestral.

“Gamer feedback was negative to the point of being aggressive. As gamers are want to do.”

Wont, for Christ’s sake. ‘As gamers are wont to do.’

I know Pratchett was an extremely successful author (the UK's biggest, I think, until Rowling), but I can't help but wonder how much better he would have done if his books hadn't had those grotesque and stomach-churning Jack Kirby covers until the mid nineties. I understand what they are - nominally parodies of…

I won't have the lead of Chairman of the Board disparaged in such a manner. Of all the movies ever made, that film is absolutely one of them!

I stopped watching mid-way through Jodie Whittaker’s first season because, well, for all its hype of being progressive I found the actual content to be gross and regressive - a Partition story where the problem was people not getting along and not, y’know, conscious choices by colonial masters, a Rosa Parks episode…

Is the toy market cratering? This I did not know

I was shocked to learn today that although the Sims came out in Feb of 2000, the last expansion back came out in October of 2003 with the Sims 2 releasing in September the next year. By which I mean to say that the original Sims published SEVEN expansion packs in 44 months, an average of one every six months, and…

Nothing reminds me more that we live in the worst timeline than the fact that Seth “Fucking Family Guy” McFarlane is making better Trek than Trek.

I was disappointed with the first few episodes of Lower Decks I watched - it felt less like Trek are more an awkward Rick and Morty clone with less edge and two bland leads - but the continuing response really makes it seem like I bailed too soon, that there is something genuinely good within it when Trek is cranking…

Your Batgirl, maybe. Not mine. Mine will only ever be No Man’s Land Cassie Cain and I accept no substitutes

Powerless, a show that almost literally nobody watched in 2015 that was about making gadgets for WayneTech started life as a much more interesting premise as an office comedy set at an insurance company that operated in a city with superheroes - a concept that was eventually watered down into something with more brand…

Used to use Bootcamp jut for that purpose, but I feel like we live in a awful world where you can buy the expensive computer that does little but does it stably, or the relatively less expensive computer that does a lot of thing as gleefully unstable as possible - and either way the experience sucks. Mac are terrible.…

I spent a lot of money on a Mac for work - a job that went ahead and furloughed me anyways before collapsing as a company a year before the pandemic hit.

I have been looking for work since. The circumstances mean

A) I wasn’t eligible for any of the various Covid employment benefits here in Canada and therefore

B) I…
