“I’ve made a really bad game—this is the only thing I’m guilty of,” reads Very Positive’s latest tweet. “If making awful games is not allowed on Steam, why haven’t they already suspended the CDPR account?”

Normally I love a commenter who only read the title, because it’s often very funny. Today, though, we have a rare case! A commenter who only sorta read the title!

Fingers crossed for Zelda Anniversary news - I’d love to see a 3D All-Stars-style Zelda collection. I’m hoping to see Wind Waker or Skyward Sword coming to Switch.

Fingers crossed Vladimir doesn’t find himself mysteriously poisoned while working on this. It’s a fascinating concept, and I would love for more studios to dive into and flesh out voice-command mechanics in games. The fact that he’s already caught the eye of his own giant policeman is worrying.

Shagging your female teacher who is heavily, heavily implied to be in coerced sex work after hours.

So your main takeaway from her post is that she writes funny, not that there was some (at the least) creepy shit going on that they had to make a rule like that in the first place? She was like 14 years old.

A very good counterpoint.

Spec Ops was a wholly unique game that played with the concept of player complicity and outcome for player violence.

I’d place Spec Ops in the same class of game as The Stanley Parable or Bioshock for shifting the player’s “fun” away from game mechanics and onto self-awareness of actions and…

But I don't think that's fair to games. Hollywood was making movies about Iraq and Afghanistan while we were still there? They made a movie about the raid for Bin Laden like 5 months after it happened. Why is it OK for movies and not games?

I like this idea. Especially as an American who is very critical of their own country. Just please do not make it like another Ubisoft sandbox game lol

Honestly, as an American, I would be absolutely *fascinated* to see that happen. There’s plenty of games depicting people of other countries as the bad guys, so why should we be immune to that? It’s not like America hasn’t done enough shit to deserve it. The conversation around it would be crazy, I’m sure.

Coincidental, Pedro Pascal's sister fits all those criteria.

They should recast her with somebody who can actually act, preferably a transgender actress. 

I don’t know why these days everyone seems to be opposed to recasting roles.  I’m not an idiot, my mind won’t melt down trying to process everyone calling some new lady Cara Dune.

Exactly! And if anyone thinks that Larry Flynt was more of a misogynistic asshole than Jerry Falwell, or any of his ilk, are deluding themselves.
At least Flynt owned up to who he was instead of hiding behind JAYSUS!

He took on Jerry Falwell ... gotta give him credit for that.

Just before we have some of the usual ‘Cancel culture gone mad!’ comments, no, she is not being ‘cancelled’, she is facing the consequences of using a public platform, the internet equivalent of shouting out in the middle of the street, to make questionable comments, and Disney would rather not have to deal with it.…

Larry Flynt rubbed a lot of people the wrong way (no pun intended).
But despite his personality, he did a lot of fucking good in the world of censorship and right-wing bullshit, and for that I will always admire him.

I respect the hustle

Honestly I think this is hilarious and I personally think this is fine. No one is going to have high expectations for a $5 emoji game.

Whew. My knee-jerk reaction to this is so, so torn. I also went to a school for “troubled teens” and I also was woken up in the middle of the night to be transported across the country (first to a wilderness program in Utah, then back across the country -slightly- more willingly to a boarding school). It saved my…
