In case this makes no sense to you, Ironmouse (who is, let’s remember, a petite Puerto Rican woman) regularly collabs with fellow streamer CDawgVA, and he made a (clearly false and said as a joke) claim that Ironmouse and Chris Broad (a male, English YouTuber and documentarian who also frequently collabs with CDawgVA)…

Hey, I take offense to that comment!

... you ever get the feeling that “below expectations” involves the same kind of magical math that makes the most successful films of all time never be profitable, except for the fact that all the suits get all the money from them?

Cockatrice is still around too. That’s how I play my weekly Commander game. More convenient than any of the official clients, too - three people brought Go-Shintai of Life’s Origin to the game last week. You know, immediately after the card was spoiled. So yeah, this NFT nonsense is completely unneeded...

I don’t have any data for this, but I’m certain this is true - announcing you have no restrictions increases your event’s chances of becoming a super-spreader event beyond just not preventing the spread. Why? Cuz it feels like every person who has a high risk of spreading it (unvaccinated, large circle of friends who…

I think that’s the text of the translation, but the cultural context is being missed. I believe the general thrust of the message in the context of corporate speak is “we’re going to scrape our chat logs for deleted messages until we find who said and who leaked this info and fire them, out of a cannon into the sun if…

Yeah. This felt like overkill. Imagine a kid gets kicked in the shins. They tell on the kicker to the teachers, and the teachers get the kicker expelled for the rest of the year, which means he’ll be held back a year and put at a disadvantage for the rest of his life. Then imagine that kid, who forgot the pain of the…

Same. I don’t care how many guesses I get it in as long as I guess it right, and sometimes I gotta get out of my own head and put in a guess that involves letters I haven’t used just to eliminate potential words from the long list of candidates...

That is 100% valid. The world is wearying, and even though it’s good to keep the sins of the world in your mind so you’re not blind to manipulations, it can be hard to stick with it if it’s affecting your mental health and not bringing you joy. 

The cynic in me has to wonder if they’ve lost some of their more toxic audience - something they probably see as a good thing in the long run.

Wonderful article! Stephanie’s been getting better and better as the years wear on, and I don’t see them stopping any time soon. Here’s to many more years of incisive, needed, and hopefully less Cassandra-esque commentary on the industry!

God, Hook never fails to hit me in the feels...

So, basically, this is a Doug Judy spinoff with the serial numbers removed? ... yeah, sure, I’m game!

Isn’t any game that has a save system technically a time loop game? It’s just that the loop doesn’t start until you hit a part that kills you, is all...

But see, that’s what’s throwing me. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS ALREADY. A company announces they’re embracing NFTs, the public (and let’s face it, even if it’s a Facebook situation where the users are the commodity, not the customer, you still NEED THEM AROUND to stuff full of personalized…

I don’t get why companies haven’t been able to see NFTs as fast-acting, virulent PR poison yet, or at least prior to massive backlash. Are they so insular that they just see the short-term dollar signs and not the middle-term to long-term rejection? So weird...

To be fair, I can see how they made the error...

Let’s frikkin’ go! Good stuff, guys. Give the bigwigs PR nightmares until they pull their heads out of their butts.

I disagree. Purplish hat, black, curly hair pulled through it in two pigtails, red nose with no/minimal make up, pink sleeveless garment overtop a top with yellow and pink patterning? Your homework is to bring me back five other clowns with a similar look. I will probably fail you and send you back a grade.
