The article insists that Forbidden West absolutely deserved an award as if it was a foregone conclusion, but doesn’t make a compelling argument as to why. It blames outside forces (like Elden Ring) for its snubs, and doesn’t even spend a moment to introspect that maybe there was something about the product itself that…

The dude probably can’t afford it either. He’s just abusing the DMCA takedown system to troll the developers and deprive them of revenue. It happens to YouTubers all the time because anyone can file a takedown notice for any reason without providing proof.

As a prior victim of DMCA takedown abuse on YouTube, I thought we had it bad. But if any Joe Schmoe can use it to yoink entire games off storefronts too, then that’s absolutely fucking broken and a nightmare for game devs.

Just because it is live does not mean it can’t be disabled. Ask me how I know. (Or scroll up to my previous reply.)

It being live does not make it any less of a laugh track. It’s formally most often called the crowd feed, but since it’s mostly laughing anyways, it often gets referred to as a laugh track internally. On many productions it’s exported as a separate audio stem in the archival, and editors can enable/disable it as they…

Actually really solid, nails the references without “fellow kids”ing it, fantastic CGI work for a parody video.

Jeez. Between this and the non-Black founder of the PGM Voice Over list trying to sic a Twitter mob against two prominent and respected Black voice actors simply because they had the gall to politely but sternly disagree with HIS assertion of how THEY should be represented, this has not been a good first week to Black…

Also: Amphibia, Coraline, Peter Pan, Neverending Story, Owl House…

Some of them have been great, but it’s almost always A- or AA-level successes, and so far outside the scope of the big splashy linear cinematic single-player spectacles that Sony is so well known for.

There’s not a shadow of a doubt in my mind that, even if Forspoken had turned out to be a really solid game all the way through, it’d have been completely brigaded by the GamerGate crowd literally just because black woman.

Still reading the review, but I had to take a second on Isaiah’s little blurb, because

You’re welcome!

Yep! It’s limited to one Bluetooth device and one Xbox device (including the PC wireless adapter), and you double-tap the wireless button to switch between the two.

You know what would be an absolutely killer feature for these controllers? A device switcher. Something that lets you swap between Console and iPad and PC or something like that. A lot of Logitech mice and keyboards have that functionality now and it’s such a game-changer. These controllers are being marketed as the…

Is it? The original Xbox Elite has a swappable circular D-pad option similar to the Saturn. I’d say it’s perfectly within the scope of the controller, at least compared to its less expensive direct competitor.

I feel like Scuf bungled the paddle placements on the Reflex. Four paddles can be perfectly comfy if done right. Xbox Elite is an excellent example. The Steam Deck’s aren’t bad either (at least in terms of placement; they do feel a bit stiff). Razer Wolverine’s are also great.

Probably because it’s more reliant on the health of the game itself. We thought Overwatch would last forever but that really doesn’t seem to be the case with how ABK has bungled the IP. League seems to be doing very well and its esports ecosystem appears quite healthy.

Except even Nintendo is being shitheads, what with all the Panda/SSBM controversy

Generous read: is it possible he’s talking about games getting cancelled by the publishers? Like what happened at Ubisoft? Because the “cancel culture” read is so wildly divergent from his usual checked-privilege diversity-first messaging.
