Wow the world for real doesn’t care about the constant wars against brown people. Europeans attacking each other though, lets pause the game release. I don’t know how I feel about it, its just odd as hell.

Honestly these days the fact the review embargo lifts several days in advance is the best sign of all it seems. And it sounds like this game is exactly what I was hoping for, keeping all the focus of the original game with the only flaw being it could never pull off a satisfying twist the level of finding out what… Read more
Because, for Microsoft, it isn’t about creating content. It is about controlling the market by limiting consumer access to just their ecosystem. Read more
The thing around this whole acquisition though that still strikes me is that Microsoft have spent the last, what, four years now just buying up everything under the sun and what exactly do they have to show for it? Read more
This late stage capitalism setting we are in... is really getting tiresome.
If only the government could step in like it did in the ‘90s and pursue some anti-trust cases against them again.
lmfao he’s not complaining about it being a tactical shooter, this is exactly the kind of response I’d expect
The gameplay isn’t the problem. Read more
Acknowledging her trans identity is worlds different from harassing her for it.
Like, is it me, or are NFTs just another fucking pyramid scheme?
Maybe it’s just me, but I read “play to have fun” as “PlAy To HaVe FuN.” It’s nice to know what the heads of these companies think of the people who keep them swimming in cash.
Fuck off.
I explained this in a Reddit post that is now deleted because it was buried under a litany of bro culture hate, where Afrasabi, Greg Street and others on the panel obviously and openly made these candid remarks without remorse, without consideration. Read more
So, I’m willing to bet that the pavilion was pitched by and put together by some third party agency. I say that because I work at one of those agencies.
By and large, I think the mentality that would think a stripper pole is a good idea thankfully being forced to die but there are still a lot of troglodytes that are… Read more
“I guess Greg Street now knows who I am now. Cool. OK. And also that wasn’t really an apology, but sure you do you. Whatever gets you to sleep at night,” she said. “I was joking with a friend when I saw it, when I saw everything he was writing about that, just, you know, ‘Oh, I couldn’t see her react, I couldn’t see… Read more
I was working as a contractor at Microsoft Game Studios several years ago, when some game studio (I can’t remember which one) made headlines by setting up a pavilion outside the Expo that included a stripper pole. I said something about that being not at all cool, and some of my (male) coworkers spoke up in defense of… Read more
In the video she asks the question, people in the crowd cheer and the men on the panel looks chastened. Then men in the audience start booing loudly and you can see the panel become emboldened to start openly making fun of her. There is a lessen here about the fact that the misogyny in the game industry is reinforced… Read more
The restaurant industry is horrendous in its treatment of anybody who isn’t the top chef, and of course women and POCs get the lion’s share of abuse. Because of that reputation it attracts people who want to behave in this outrageous manner and the cycle continues.
What is the shows responsibility to how they portray this person. From what we know Top Chef wasn’t hiding any of his behavior on the actual show. This was all information they received after the fact. Should they have tried editing/re-editing the show differently then they’d likely have planned so he appeared in a… Read more
Well, at least looking back he was able to parce out why cutting the work hours and then firing a woman you had an extramarital affair with after that said affair ended was a bad idea. Especially without anything concrete to back that decision up. It’s those sutble situations where it is so easy to take the wrong… Read more
I worked with a chef for years who would literally have his dick out under his apron. And now restaurant owners are like "Wha??? No one wants to work?"
That’s a great takeaway from this article, and I wish your comment was above all the ones saying “I don’t get it/I’m too old” and those that clearly didn’t read the whole thing.
