If he’s the sole owner of the company, he doesn’t have to answer to anybody and therefor has no oversight and can treat his employees like shit with no recourse.

It’s odd that you went straight to assuming someone was trying to steal the company from him, but judging from your other comments you clearly don’t…

Careful, that’s some load bearing misogyny and homophobia in your joke there! ^_^

It will probably be more comfortable if you stick to licking the boot instead of deepthroating it.

The best reasoning I’ve seen put forth for the strategy is to get people to build a collection on the Epic Game Store which will hopefully lead to them feeling comfortable making real purchases as well. A big reason people are so attached to Steam is because they’ve built up these extensive game libraries over the…

Man, you’re being really intense and weird to a stranger on the internet.

I think the game is meant to help players find joy in simple tasks through the use of abstraction. The gameplay is an abstracted form of things we typically consider joyless work. I think we’re just meant to enjoy the bucolic nature of it. The self-expression aspect I think was more meaningful when you had such a…

There are two types of Animal Crossing players. I like that the game is slow and kinda obtuse in how it works. The fact that perhaps the most significant aspect of Animal Crossing is that it runs in real-time gives insight into Nintendo’s vision for the experience they’re trying to deliver. I don’t think these QOL…

Fuck this post is stupid. Jesus.

So how does this not apply to other streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, etc.?

Bill Oakley recently said in a Talking Simpsons podcast that the songs that are expensive to use doesn’t really correlate with popularity, either. He said a George Michael song would be like $10,000 a second, but an ABBA song could be $500 a second.

No Braindead/Dead Alive?

I’m sick of Ubisoft trying to do this “ripped from the headlines” bullshit. They handle it with all the care and subtlety of a toddler.

Are you kidding me? That was only a year ago? My brain is just mush now.

Wasn’t Ubisoft working on some Breath of the Wild-esque adventure game? I remember them announcing it years ago. Did that get cancelled?

I think it’s kind of remarkable how TLOU2 and Death Stranding both deal with very similar subject matter and thematic material, but Death Stranding (maybe a bit ironically, for Kojima’s love of film) embraces the video game medium to its fullest to explore those ideas, while TLOU2 tries to ape prestige cinema, which…

I am one hundred percent in agreement with this. I think Cards Against Humanity can be a very funny and almost educational game if it’s confined to a small group of close friends who all know where the jokes are coming from. But that allows it to be abused so much by people who think the offensive cards ARE the joke,…

This is the same co-founder who had sexual assault allegations, too. The company’s response to that was awful, almost literally saying “We support victims of sexual assault and we should all believe women, but... uh... not these women because they’re totally lying!”

It’s awful when any man commits sexual assault, of…

In any cast, the Curse of the Moon spin-off games are made by a different developer.

The bundle includes a lot of tabletop games and game dev assets and engines, so there’s definitely a lot of different stuff to look through.

I just went and looked at every single one, and they’re all offbeat or intriguing in some way. And I helped a good cause!

Sort of a similar thing, I really enjoy Malibu and Gatorade. It’s delicious. And it helps keep you from getting dehydrated from the alcohol!
