If Netflix has this all worked out, where they know a show is only going to run two to three seasons before they axe it because that’s when the algorithm says they start losing money, even if the show is successful... why don’t they just actually set that in stone? Just straight up tell creators “If the show does…

I love Ribombee. He’s just a little dude in a scarf! He’s literally shaped like a friend and I will fight to the death for him.

I was in the beta last year, before they’d even announced the Stadia name and it was still only running in Chrome, and there seemed to be a huge flaw right out the gate: I have average American (read: terrible) wifi because that’s all I can get in my building, and I had to disconnect every other device in my apartment…

Doesn’t the daily format seem like it would actually lend itself better to streaming instead of normal tv, instead of the other way around? Wouldn’t an actual tv network have to give over like a sixth of their entire primetime schedule to air this?

I dipped back today into Division 2 while it’s having a free weekend, and it’s still right in that spot of “solid enough to keep me playing” and “not good enough to spend money on”. I feel the same way about it that I do Destiny 2: fun mechanics, but I just can’t make myself care enough about it.

It’s so weird that none of the abuse/assault allegations against Stone Cold have hurt him at all. It’s like the Wrasslin’ Redneck persona was so effective that people just assumed he was like that anyway so they don’t care.

My girlfriend’s mom is in town for the weekend, which obviously means I’m not going to be gaming much, but here’s what I’ve been playing going into the weekend, and will probably still be thinking of: The Surge. My history with Souls-likes is... shaky at best. I really wanted to get into them a while back, and bought…

...so she’s doing the Art School Girl version of Reputation-era Taylor Swift? How edgy.

The nuggets are better than the sandwich, and either way it’s not good enough to justify what the company is like. It’s just pickle juice! That’s the entire secret. You can easily make it yourself. 

Remember when Minecraft Story Mode came out and everybody was like “okay this is neat but it feels a bit late”? That was seven years before this movie is set to come out.

Whoah wait, is this not legal? Is it just an Illinois thing? I worked for a few years for a (very small but pretty well known in the area) grocery chain on the east coast and they had us doing this years ago. My girlfriend worked there over a decade ago and they were doing it then. I thought it was kind of weird but…

Why are all the comments assuming the contestants won’t know anything about video games? Do they think designers don’t have any other interests, or is it some weird, sniffy “well they can’t be REAL gamers if they like fashion” thing? It’s 2019, most folks know what a Nintendo is.

How much money will it take to get you to take this headline down

This really can’t come soon enough. I’ve been toying around with the app today as part of the free trial, and it’s good for reading comics. Really just feels like a more stable version of Marvel Unlimited, which still, years after launch, feels janky as hell. The main issue right now is the selection, which still…

If they really wanted to get into some stuff that’s been floating around for a long time unacknowledged, something that a lot of wrestling enthusiasts might not even know about, they’d be doing an episode on the abuse allegations against Steve Austin.

Three problems with this theory:

It’s gonna be interesting to see what they do with the fashion, now that 90's Goth Witch is like a fairly mainstream Instagram look.

I’ll agree with a lot of what Brooker is saying, namely that you can’t expect a single coherent message out of something that branches this wildly, and that this may not be unique for games but it’s new for Netflix, but like... are those good things? Is this what we want? I think it’s possible to engage with…

Remember when that writer went on Fox News and said that Mass Effect had explicit, pornographic sex scenes and encouraged the player to sleep with as many women as possible? And then it turned out she hadn’t actually played the game, just been told about it? And then everybody review-bombed her books on Amazon saying…

She’d already got a youtube channel and an instagram where she gets paid thousands per sponsored post, she’s way past the reality show phase.
