““one step toward true creative freedom,” that would democratize the animation industry.”

Man this sounds suspiciously like some of the stuff that crypto bros would often say on Kotaku.

His window was during the pandemic. Like I said, he had a chance to take over the Republican Party and he didn’t. And him skirting a confrontation with Trump is all but bowing out of the race entirely.

Dude…you need to chill. 

Which will all but fail the the moment it reaches any political floor. This is political theater and trolling.  

Yeah except people don’t want a Bush. Hell they had a chance to vote in a Bush in 2016, and look how that turned out.

Considering he recently wussed out on a confrontation with Trump, I don’t think he’s gonna run for the nomination for 2024.

Liberals feared Desantis because, like you said, he was a more palatable Trump. And you can bet that a version of Trump that is smart to not say the quiet things out loud is one that would absolutely appeal to moderates, independents, and even a couple of liberals.

The problem is is that Trump has radically changed…

Essentially uses Tiktok as a model for what tech companies seem to be going thorough called “enshittification.”  Basically Kick is extremely generous in order to attract content makers.  But inevitably they’ll begin shifting away from them to…

It’s a cycle. They adopt a combative mindset, largely in order to appeal to their gross goblin fans who will cheer on everything they do, but also so they never have to do any introspection and recognize that “maybe they’re the baddies.” So any one who disagrees with them are “THEY” (Jews, The Cabal, liberal mob etc)…

Because people have been trained by both movies and other video games that it’s okay to enact brutal violence on people so long as said character is likeable. I mean that is a large part of video games in general. The character, and by extension the player, are morally in the right. Therefore it’s okay because I am…

Within the context of a post apocalypse?  It’s not saving “more people.”  It’s saving humanity in itself.

THIIIIIIIS.

The entire point of the Giraffe scene is that Ellie has finally found something worth dying for and that in itself causes a riff between her and Joel because Joel very much wants Ellie to replace his dead daughter. That riff that grows exponentially when he lies.

I’ve been arguing about this for the last 10…

“DID make him a hero at least to Ellie.”

I actually never thought about that.  I have to imagine that post-Mario64, Nintendo felt like that Mario had to be in full 3d.  

Most likely an admittedly awkward way of saying that video game companies during this time very aggressively went after the 18-35 year old male demo, and basically ignored everyone else.

Oh absolutely. No one is saying that it’s not valid to not like TLOU2. But..I found it absolutely fascinating what it revealed in many a gamer. Not even the considering the whole “Anti-woke” nonsense: It was clear to me that a lot of gamers were very uncomfortable with the both the subject matter and the intensity of…

*grins in “Boy the discourse for season 2 is gonna be so fuuuun*

I think it’s important to note that there was always a method to that madness. The Wii was a response to the disappointing sales of the Gamecube, and the Wii U and, ulimately, the Switch, were responses to the Wii. The Switch is pretty much found the perfect balance between catering to hardcore gamers and casual ones.…

Unless I’m missing something, yeah? Like Sony’s argument of Microsoft making Call of Duty exclusive to Xbox/PC kinda makes no sense because there’s no way that people who were gaming on Sony’s platform are going to switch and pay $600 for an Xbox console to play Call of Duty.

Holy shit I remember that Vegeta’s pride music video.
