Maybe a new Guitar Hero would let players generate their own songs based on popular artists styles and voices, or let them jam alongside iconic musicians on the fly. It could be intriguing, and a licensing nightmare.

Algorithms to turn audio tracks into level files have existed for over a decade at this point. AI introduces literally nothing new in this field that doesn’t already exist. People hand author tracks because making something that technically matches the track does not equal making something that feels good to play to…

Even with the black/gray system, the comments on Jezebel are still awful. So many of them are basically "this writer is a dumb bitch" and they get up voted by other grays until they're dominant. Something about being a woman on the internet just drives commenters crazy, apparently. 

lmao Disney doesn’t have the balls

They better get Tim Curry while they can.

Keep in mind though that there is kind of a limit to the number of kids movies that can be produced and released in any given year. So more animated video game movies coming out just means fewer Secret Life of Pets movies or Trolls movies or some other dumb movie where one of the characters is voiced by James Cordon.

A lot of people said it could’ve had a better story, but like bro it’s a mario movie it’s legit a franchise primarily targeted towards children like c’mon, what else would you expect?

In 10 years, we’re gonna be talking about move audiences’ NCU fatigue, after the back-to-back failures of the ActRaiser and UN Squadron movies.

On the plus side, those vidya game movies are going to be crazy expensive, which means less money for other movies, which will most likely mean that the current genre struggling to bust blocks, superhero movies, will suddenly dry up from lack of funds, so yay for that, right?

“What if pokemon was dark and edgy” is literally the oldest and most obvious joke to make about pokemon, there are dozens upon dozens of fan made games and comics and skits about this already. You might as well make a joke about mario taking psychoactive mushrooms or link smashing pots

I saw some of the stuff being thrown at Pikamee, it definitely wasn’t “just threatening to unsub”. In both her original tweet and her reply she was constantly called a transphobe, told to off herself, sent death threats, told that she was directly killing trans people, and had trans and ‘ally’ accounts celebrate her…

I wouldn't take much of what Sisi says at face value. I'm a queer person, and find a lot of her takes pretty unnuanced. (Which isn't to say I think people should support JKR. I won't be buying this game and tell people I know I don't think they should, either.)

Not wholly related, but sorry I just find it funny that waifu is in quotes every time as if it’s some new phenomena and this is a more mainstream site reporting on it. Like boomers who just discovered the word exists.

“(Other articles point out that this fictionalized version of the Soviet Union beat Hitler, but um—that did actually happen in real life).”

I find it a smidge ironic to see Sisi talk about nuanced discussion getting flattened.

You know, I had a long convo with a friend last year because we both played this game around the same time, where I was saying that I bounced because I felt this weird streak of conservative back-patting throughout. Like, the crazy rightwing conspiracy theorist is presented as mockable, but he’s also 100% correct in…

The most important thing about those 8 million copies sold is that they include copies that Sony literally gave away for free on Playstation Plus. Anyway, here’s how you screw up your super-cool and hardcore apocalypse game with a presumed attempt at a relatable main character.

Sub-Zero: “Cool your expectations.”
Scorpion: “Get over it.”
Mileena: “This bites.”
Kitana: “I’m not a fan of this.”
Sindel: “I could scream.”
Johnny Cage: “What a punch to the balls.”
Raiden: “Shocking.”
Liu Kang: “ *unintelligible turkey noises*”

As a person who loved and obsessed about Bayonetta I think this ending is absolutely perfect given the circumstances of everything that happened.

Healing is so powerful on tanks that teams almost have to go after the supports first.
