Dude. Cate Blanchett getting cast in an Eli Roth driven Borderlands (aka a garbage fire) would no more grant legitimacy to video game movies than Bob Hoskins did for them in Super Mario Brothers.

video games aren’t lent more legitimacy by being made into movies

“Dominique “SonicFox” McLean has made a name for themselves as a fighting game great. Back in 2018, Kotaku first profiled the esports competitor...”

On one level, a company can fire someone for almost any reason, or decide not to fire them for almost any reason. Exceptions are rare and narrow.

The only reason this is biting her is because how this dealership operates. As noted in the source article, one of the male employees was on that very same site. All he got was teased. Another male employee also groped another female employee, no mention of a reprimand for him.

Amazing that nobody was reprimanded for viewing porn at work.

She was thinking she’s an adult and should be able to do what she likes in her personal time.
She was also thinking she had bills to pay.

Yeah man, got to make sure technicians aren’t *checks notes* making a side income in a completely unrelated field.

Sex work is real work. No different than any other side gig.

Word of warning: as someone who also thought this was just idiots complaining about progressiveness, if those leaks are real, the game’s plot is just awful.

I don’t think WWE is going out of business until Saudi Arabia runs out of money.

I wish I had your optimism. A year (Or even two) off can’t hurt, but only if they make the most of it, which I doubt they will.

“It’s the Tea Party all over again.”

I really don’t understand the fascination that white people have with black people and “doing the racism”.

Nah, homeboy will end up landscaping for an uncle and killing off a 12-pack a night until cirrhosis ends him, while homegirl will end up failing at being a tattoo artist and selling LuLaRoe after having married an abusive jarhead.

Not surprising.  Republicans don’t want female politicians for the most part.  There are some exceptions but the number of female Republicans in Congress went down in 2018.  Because they’re women, they are seen as being more moderate compared to the male candidates, even if they take more extreme, right wing…

I hate to break it to ya but SEGA has not worked on a Streets of Rage game or really any 2.5D brawlers of mention, in 26 years. There is not a single employee who worked on any of the Streets of Rage games that I know of who even still works for SEGA. They would not be your saviors in this case.

Extremely, profoundly stupid of them to literally just trace over that picture of her. They easily could have used it just as reference and then changed up the wardrobe and facial features a bit so that it wasn’t so clearly her.

I’ll do you one better and say The Force Awakens is a perfect summation of the fact that there was no plan; in that movie, Snoke shows up and he’s all mystery. The entire idea behind him is “we barely know who this is, but every Vader needs an Emperor, for reasons”, and he holds no dramatic tension beyond that. Rian…
