I’m not surprised The Simpsons predicted this, as many other real life events.

So it begins...

They just admitted that Starfield would probably sell 10 million copies on PlayStstion, and yet they’re keeping that one exclusive...

I mean the conditions are a bummer but at the same time a rookie actress who was one of most critically acclaimed parts of this show is now about to get prime time focus on a national station.

Here's the fun thing: Halo wasn't supposed to be an Xbox exclusive. Microsoft saw a developer (Bungie) making cool shit and getting promotion from another company (Apple) and decided to take the game away from Apple gamers — and that developer's back cstalogue, too. Taking stuff away is kinda Microsoft's entire thing.

Bethesda getting bought out made me so much sadder as a PS owner. Despite early protestations to the contrary I fucking KNEW MS would make those titles exclusives. And it’s such a fucking bummer to hear their mealy-mouthed bullshit about how “niche” some of those properties are. Elder Scrolls and Fallout alone....…

If your last paragraph was true I wouldn’t be sad about likely never seeing an Elder Scrolls or Fallout game on my console again despite Bethesda very much wishing otherwise.

Microsoft has been trailing Sony for some time now and while I wish it was done via an internal push for more and better first party entries, them having additional massive franchises under their belt will help prevent Sony from resting on their laurels. If 3rd place is always 3rd, why do 1st & 2nd even need to try…

I followed that twitter post and read the legal docs. Included is an expert witness giving examples of a previous swatting incident used to back up why this person should be considered dangerous. That is some chilling shit right there.

Your daily reminder that wage theft is the largest and most common type of theft, to the tune of an estimated $50bn/year in the US. 

From Black Mirror episode to real life dystopia in just a month. Has to be a new record.

Dear Studios:

It was 13 outbreaks, not 13 cases. That said, you’re right that it’s a pretty small percentage of cruisers.

I love that Fran Drescher is at the center of what could be one of the most consequential strikes of the 21st Century so far. While this (and WGA strike) is mostly about pay, it’s also the first real pushback against corporate exploitation of AI.

As someone who has experienced the thrills of Norovirus’ uncontrollable dual evacuations so far twice in life, neither case having been cruise-related, I assure you that you do not want to contract it even once.

Mental health issues are generally conferred by the genetic lottery or brought on by a momentous event (often traumatic). People don’t choose mental illness.

Racism is consciously taught and reinforced by the structures of society. People choose to be racist (even if they don’t always realize they’re making the…

I respect your decision in not naming the community manager. If you’ve played Destiny 2 and read their TWABs, then you know who it is. It’s really shitty that they ended up leaving the company. They were great at communicating with the player base and addressing issues.

Maybe I’m reading too deep into your comment, but let’s not conflate racism with mental illness. There are plenty of people with mental health issues who manage to not be racist in their treatment of others.

Any punishment that can be easily paid off isn’t punishment, it’s just a cost of business
