Speaking here as someone who’s been laid off by Microsoft more than once (and eventually replaced by AI in one notable case), who’s struggling again to find work, and is running out of money:

Reminds me of how I once accidentally freaked out a guy on Twitter by commenting about the bookstore he posted a picture from, which I recognized. Oops. It wasn’t rocket science, though: he worked at Valve, they’re in downtown Bellevue, I worked a couple blocks away from there and a block away from the store, and the…

Expectation: You found six people on Twitter with a fetish.

Basically, it’s based on League of Legends lore, which is a very different thing from being based on the League of Legends game. It still impresses me that they made such a good series out of it — and it’s genuinely a stunning series — because Lore(tm) is not synonymous with narrative. You still need writers who know…

For some perspective: according to the post I just read on their site, Supergiant has fewer than thirty people on the Hades team.

Well, if you want to properly use Arial Black, you have to license it from Monotype, or else you’re looking at font substitution.

Suddenly all I can hear in my head is, “WHERE IS CHARLES LEEEEEE?!?!!?!?”

Please learn the difference between “fired” and “laid off.” No one who’s been fired still gets severance pay. “Fired” means “it’s your fault, get the fuck out.”

I’ll tell you what: I will give credit to the guy who intercepted the can, because he was on the ball.

I’m in about the same boat. I did a bit of dolphining in this game, and then backed out again before I did anything too stupid. Still, I’ve gotten a ton of enjoyment out of this game, and the story/content updates continue to be substantial enough to make it feel worthwhile. This is just sorta where my gaming budget’s…

I’d much rather have two solid seasons (and I have no reason to believe that we won’t, as good as S1's been) than five made under increasing strain, logistical challenges, and increasing pressures from on high, because you know it would happen. I’m more than happy to get what we’re getting, let it prove its point, and…

Personally, I believe in public education, reasonable zoning, reproductive rights and access to necessary health care for everybody, and that pineapple on pizza is tasty, but I’m pretty sure it’s the last one that will get me run off the internet by a screaming mob.

It’s still around, and oh, crap, now I want to order some. (The grocery store up the hill from me used to carry it, too, and now I’m tempted to check if they still do.) https://shop.bawls.com/

Honestly, I respect this. Hell of a way to go out.

I want a Sims game for dragons now. Design your lair, collect your hoard, terrorize your carefully crafted villages...

Fun bonus: he flew to LA on a private Disney jet to do it. (Just Google his name; you’ll find the story, along with a few other innocent bystanders with the same name who probably resent the hell out of his prominence in search.)

that is exactly it.

Sign up with Sony’s online store. They’ll notify you when it’s in stock and give you a time when you can order one directly from them. I got mine last year that way (and got another invite almost exactly a year later, which, I mean, I don’t need two, but thanks?). It’s virtually painless and it ships quickly; I got…

Speaking of Disney and sex scandals, you reminded me of one way back in the day (god, it was in 1999. why did I do the math. aaaagh) when Patrick Naughton, exec of an internet company that Disney bought, went and got himself arrested in an FBI sting for traveling over state lines to solicit sex from a minor. Cue…

Now that’s a hero image I can hear.
