I was having a pretty good day today. I’d aborted over a dozen babies, I’d gotten a couple of conservative co-workers fired for “hate speech”, and so for lunch I decided to visit Wendy’s. Not to purchase any food—like my fellow elites I only eat artisan kale salads prepared by women in hijabs— but rather to mock the…

I loved CG Muppet Yoda too, and I was really touched by the scene with him and Luke, but it just seemed like Yoda again was acting against the character established in the original Trilogy (Again cause he acted against character in the prequels too). If he decided that the Jedi Order was total bullshit and needed a…

WARNING: lots of thoughts, lots of text.

They made Luke Skywalker interesting. I love the original trilogy. I love Mark Hamill. I have read an ungodly amount of Expanded Universe stuff. And most of it, however hard it tries, can’t make Luke interesting. He’s The Hero, The Beacon of Hope, The Savior of the Galaxy, the Jediest Jedi in all of the Jedi. Even…

Stuff like this is why Peterson’s “Playing at the World” is my go-to history for TRPGs (and, really, a whole slew of other tabletop genres). Although he also privileges the designer, he points out how designers would often start as players of other games, and how they would often take ideas from the games they played…

Hey, I like this response!

Right. But in the interest of ensuring that nobody is misled, I’ve changed the headline from “The Witcher’s Author Says He Doesn’t Get One Cent From The Games’ Success” to “The Witcher’s Author Says He Screwed Himself Out Of Profiting Off The Games.”

Why I am marching today (See you soon, NYC!):

I agree there isn’t a good reason to vote for Trump, but we need to separate the action and the reason.

I’m in no way saying that all young teachers who work in the inner city are racists. Many are wonderful.

Oculus is currently losing both current and potential business partners because of this; that, if nothing else, creates a direct gaming link.

Beyond that, Luckey’s part of the industry; if it falls beyond the purview of a gaming news outlet to report on news related to the industry, then who should report it?

Legitimate…

A couple of important points, and then I’m just going to shush:

1.) For all of the “what does this have to do with gaming” folks--Luckey is the originator of the Oculus Rift; as such, even though he sold his company and product on to Facebook, he occupies a position of importance in the gaming industry, and…

Heh, pretty lousy for a developer to complain that we’re cheating when they can’t even outline how the various systems in their own fucking game work to the player.

Egg hatching, distance traveled, the damn three footprints glitch effectively making finding any creatures a guessing game...

Yeah, think I’ll keep…

I’ll tell them what. I’ll stop using the API scanners as soon as they fix the fucking 3-step bug. How about that?

You know what would make all this tolerable? Meeting base expectations on communication. For example:

The first sign the company was in a tailspin should have been that the "Senior Communications Manager" was using Comic Sans as her e-mail font.
