I think what an awful lot of them are confusing is “I made $XXX this month” with “I have a steady source of income.” Anyone who works in creative/artistic/performing media knows that’s BS. You’re basically applying for a new job every time, or your audience will go elsewhere. 

I think you are underestimating the appeal of personal connection. People pay good money for the illusion of knowing the performer, and OnlyFans is an ideal venue for that.

I actually believe rockstar does this stuff on purpose. These bugs that just randomly turn up are perfect meme material...and that is consistently the case. Their flaws are always funny, lighthearted stuff.

People would lose their damn minds. There was an event in WoW before the release of WOTLK that was really, really cool but people got mad it interrupted the completely irrelevant just-before-expansion gameplay. Gamers are the worst. 

“sets a dangerous precedent,” because it leads to a “victimhood mentality.”

Congrats, Madison. You’re 24 and already an Old White Guy. Except maybe you yell “Hey get off my lawn...bro!” Another grifter mouthing the same old cliches to same lumpen clods who are afraid of anything that isn’t them. 

404: Soul Not Found

It’s fucking awful!! but thank god for that latest tab!

I haven’t played the game yet, but now I know that character dies BEFORE I clicked on the article and went past “spoiler warnings”.

It’s a little odd that the show gets a series nomination and 3(!!!) writing nods, but not a single actor nod. I know its sort of hard to choose because the entire cast really is excellent, but carve out a spot for one of them and pick a name out of a hat.

3 writing nods for “what we do in the shadows?”  wonderful!  just wish the performers got some love.

If you haven’t played it yet, this game is absolutely worth the time.  Heck, even if you have played it it’s worth the time.  Easily one of my favorite games ever made.

I may not watch streams much- but unlike some people my age I fully understand the appeal. It’s no different than watching people play sports really, minus the exercise, or any other kind of youtube channel. It’s “raw” though I don’t really care for reality shows, this isn’t staged, or at least AS staged, as those are.

This was a good read. Thanks.

Despite how “dead” Red Dead Redemption’s open world is from an interactivity perspective, it never felt like a knock against it. In large part because of the fact that the frontier it was recreating is and was mostly empty and inhospitable. You’d see tumbleweeds roll along the ground. You’d see grass or trees sway in…

The notion that entire, sentient races are naturally predisposed to certain levels of intelligence, or moral alignments, is baked into the game. That’s not the same as talking about “good and bad sides”.

This is interesting. It’s one of D&D’s last real structural holdouts from its Tolkien roots that some creatures are all just literally created evil.

It’s interesting that they spotlight orcs and Drow specifically. I haven’t read any RA Salvatore in years because it was just becoming too much to keep up with. But, as far as I know, he was kind of blazing that trail with Obould Many Arrows trying to find a place for his people to settle. Orcs were still volatile,…

Imagine how sad one’s life must be to review-bomb some game on Metacritic, esp. over some perceived “SJW”-ness or something.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s, perhaps? I like this distinction of pre-rotten, we know we are in full 70s New York when the city’s lead changes from nerdy-but-still-handsome Jack Lemmon to full-on grouch Walter Matthau.
