“There are women out here in real life that do have these body types.”

Off topic but man I love that Lindsay Ellis is getting such recognition that her 3-part Hobbit retrospective can now just be referred to as “the documentary on what New Zealnd went through with WB during the making of Hobbit and LotR.”

I don’t like this “my people” nonsense. I am not his person. Doesn’t he understand the whole point of this freedom concept we have going on? Oh, wait, this is the guy putting children in concentration camps...right.

“He speaks and his people stand up in attention,” he gleefully told Fox News on the White House lawn Friday morning. “I want my people to do the same.”

Something people aren’t considering is that as time goes by there’s only going to be more competition on Twitch and other sites with monetization programs like YouTube. The people who started 5 years ago definitely had to work to get where they are now, but if they had started today it could take even longer for them…

Yes, but we still need to call out these pseudo-predatory practices because there will be enough people that get sucked in with the promise of pay only to realize that they get nothing or very little.

Tybot already pointed this out, but the thing your company did is really terrible, and is something that is very heavily criticized. It exists, but it isn’t very common, and its an extremely shady way of doing business.

The difference is that that Perkins isn’t compiling books of children’s drawings, then turning around and selling them for $60 each.

Totally different. With an estimate you’re estimating the work. The agreement for payment is agreed upon before any work starts, and the payment is guaranteed. Spec work asks for FINISHED work with low chance for any compensation. It creates a race to the bottom.

Normal, no. But more common than is healthy. Where the above is a grey area as to whether or not it’s truly spec work and bad for the industry, what you describe is EXACTLY what is frowned upon.

I accidentally read that as homeopathic chicken. I may have come up with a new business plan.

If PlayStation wants to stay on their own little multiplayer island, fine, whatever. I primarily play Fortnite on PC, and “portable” would be my preferred secondary console experience, so I’d happily forfeit my ability to play on PS4 in order to play on Switch instead. The fact that you simply don’t have the option to…

The Last of Us is one of the games that makes me really wish I had a Playstation. Damn you console exclusives!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS YES YES. The Last of Us is either my favorite video game of all time or second depending on my mood when you ask me, and after the Left Behind DLC, I was really hoping TLOU2 would let Ellie be queer, and oh my saints and stars, they DID! I usually wait for Game of the Year/definitive…

pfft class. Work productivity is about to drop 70%

thank you for this ethical gaming journalism

Women can absolutely do what men can do in most any scenario...

But lower taxes, AMIRITE!?

I think whoever greenlit the script should be given a party for daring to play with the milieu and delve into some self-critical examinations of the standing paradigms of space wizardry.
