Gamers and cringey fascists, name a more iconic duo

Doesn’t the first amendment only guard against government interference in speech? I’m pretty sure you’re allowed to voluntarily agree to limit your speech as part of the terms of a contract with a non-government party. It’s the same principle as NDAs.

A reminder to always, always ignore the number that a company is suing for. That’s basically meaningless, its really just there to scare people and get headlines. The actual reality of the damages would get assessed during the actual trial, if it goes to one.

It is targeted and dehumanising and means to harm us

If The Social Network gets a sequel I hope they go with The Social Ne2rk. I mean, “network” has “two” in it, how can you pass that up?

It’s truly mindboggling. As though former USSR countries were coerced into joining NATO when the fact is they did so to protect themselves from Russia invading them and forcing them back into Russian control. Stone pulls the same ole BS that the West should’ve made more overtures to bring Russia into the world economy…

Even without digital distribution, Gamestop still feels like a shambling corpse.

Noise, distortion, and static are all atmospheric sounds that help create the type of film the director wants.

I didn’t notice anything weird about the sound in Oppenheimer. Tenet, however, mxzade zme txzuzrn oxn thzxe suxbtxxitlzes anzd znozt zxloxok bxackzz.

Falling in Jedi Outcast just removes some health.  Losing health is not “Respawning with less health”

I can’t imagine the type of person who’s walked into any Gamestop in the past decade and thought (likely while surrounded by the scattered remains of lootboxes and Hot Topic reject merchandise) “yes, this is the business whose success and 4D chess-like strategies will greatly change my fortunes!” Gamestop is a…

The author is comparing the weird culture around the GameStop meme stock to a cult.

Wow, gotta love a cherry picked clip show. Not identifying with a fandom, especially one that has been historically not been kind to your gender, is not the same as not engaging with video games. And not being interested in violent video games once again does not disqualify her. Seriously, stop with this chud shit,…

“Actually, the women in games appreciate being rescued by male characters. That’s what Zelda told me anyway ... in my 12, 000 page erotic fan fiction where she marries me in Hyrule Field.”

The nit picky crap was unreal. The gatekeeping was unreal. Like art critics all had to have ten thousand hours of painting before they are allowed to be a critic. Like Siskel and Ebert were fake because they weren’t famous directors.

One must take anything Stone says about history with a massive grain of salt. He still pushes a very conspiratorial view of history, often with basic facts wrong, and has also become a massive Putin apologist in the last decade, calling him a great leader. Even after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, which Stone said would…

Man, it takes some fucking nerve to remake Ingmar Bergman projects. My brain would screaming “no! stop! what are you doing?!!? what possibly could you be adding to this?” at every stage of the process.

The ideas where *so incredibly* basic, 100 course level, surface-skimming concepts that the fact The Gamers(tm) reacted the way they did still dumbfounds me when I think about it.

“our space”

Rarely have such volumes been spoken by a mere two words.
