It’s almost as if we all live in a giant refrigerator, isn’t it?

I haven’t read the book either but my understanding is that the book is way more steeped in ’80s or at least ’80s-adjacent stuff and that the movie folds in a wider variety of references. My guess is that Spielberg digs The Iron Giant, and not wanting to re-use a lot of his own iconography, was happy to borrow another…

Nier Automata is a fucking chore for me but I continue to play because I sunk $40 into it. I keep thinking maybe this turd will polish itself at some point and I’ll have that eureka moment and end up loving it.

Far Cry’s version of the Monty Python running gag.

When I was a software engineer at a major studio in SoCal years ago, I recall we switched from salary to hourly due to some legal issue with another video game company. I went from working weekends and ungodly hours to…

Solidarity forever. This socialist stands with his brothers and sisters in the labour movement. I am not union - my industry is actually pretty good for following the labour laws and treating workers right. But game developers are getting screwed, labour laws are getting broken, and it’s not acceptable. Crunch, job…

As the titular character of Samer 2, I can guarantee that it is the dankest gane around.
