Missing projections by 45% is not the same as revenue being down 45%.

Sam Neil is in the 2 best horror movies in my opinion. Mouth of Madness and the spectacular Event Horozon.

You mean noted tomesmith Dan Brown? Renowned novelist Dan Brown? Dan Brown, who uses the feet at the ends of his two legs to propel himself forward?

You don’t know anything about game development or working in general. Incredibly delusional post. Go experience some reality.

Yep. I felt awful reading this. Not in that I think the critique is unwarranted, but that I feel for devs who 100% KNEW what they had to put out and likely had almost no recourse to do better. It’s kind of heartbreaking. I’ve been in a position where I’ve had my name go out on work that I knew wasn’t up to scratch but…

Yes, it’s bad. Yes, no one should buy it. And yes, everyone should know about how bad it is and how no one should buy it.

I’d argue it’s somewhere between “Poochie died on the way back to his home planet” and “The mute sniper lady has to be half-naked because she would suffocate otherwise!”

I wholeheartedly endorse an annual (or seasonal?) power fantasy weekend, where everyone can feel like Esoterickk or their favorite solo flawless streamers for 10 minutes. Use them to let us low skill, antisocial folk finish up their exotic quests or grab dungeon loot before the new expansion, or just see parts of the…

That’ll never happen, they don’t want endgame content being cheesed... but it would be cool if they made a PVP mode where we can craft a weapon (for free) going in, and then it auto-dismantles after the match

Are we sure it wasn't just Ron DeSantis in a bear costume?

Totally agree. Subscription fatigue is real and its only going to get worse for consumers. I got 3 years of Game Pass for $1 (or something like that) back when it kicked off, but I have no intention of continuing on with it past those three years. It was a great value but I am not paying $20 a month for something I…

I went through and canceled all my subs in the last couple months. I think only one I have now is NSO, and wife and I share netflix. There were roughly half a dozen services that either charged monthly or yearly. Just nuked them all.

At some point, you have to ask yourself about your own expectations for games (i.e. things we play to kill time for fun). We are entering into an environment socially now where everyone wants every single thing addressed according to their liking or articles get written like this. Had the devs/writers stopped to “more…

If a game doesn’t really get going until around 50 hours once the main quest is done, then shouldn’t the main quest be better?

Ragnarok was a fun movie, but the problem with it is that Waititi undermines every single major emotional moment. It’s an issue he basically doubles down on in Love & Thunder.

I don’t dislike Ragnarok, but I do think that Waititi sabotaged every single emotional beat in the film.

For me, Taika Waititi is not the right director for Thor. He doesn’t understand that ALWAYS going for the joke is not the right approach. This is the big difference between Waititi and James Gunn. While many criticized the Guardians of the Galaxy films for not taking things too seriously, I would argue that Gunn knows…

Nicolas Cage is as nepo as you can get, but he did not use his connections, he changed his name.  the same thing with Joe Hill.  

The thing is, Barbie had a message. It went over a ton of people’s heads (Germain apparently included) but it had one.

People who don’t have the condescending attitude that five-year-olds deserve mindless garbage recognize that you can pitch a movie at five year olds that actually respects them rather than just trying to sell them something. Happy Meals and algorithmically generated YouTube nonsense videos are also pitched at…
