This Wired article wasn’t criticism, it was a hit job. The dude basically hated Sanderson from the get go and in spite of all the evidence that he’s a nice guy decided “hey fuck this guy”

I like Sanderson’s books, they’re definitely popular because they’re accessible and competently delivered as opposed to dazzling the reader with prose but there’s no shame in being the MCU of fantasy books.

How does KotOR get a pass because “Sony partially funded it” but Redfall doesn’t when Microsoft *wholly* funds it?

Lmao I feel like blaming FF7 for the sexualization of skirts is a bit of a massive reach considering as the miniskirt was sexualized decades before FF7 was even conceived of.

“It’s not because Sony paid us, definitely not that.  They’re definitely not doing what they’re trying to argue Microsoft would do with Activision games, definitely completely unrelated and not hypocritical.”

I don’t understand why you keep saying it’s ending when you literally said it’s continuing.

I mean, short people are a thing. There was an article a while ago where a short woman said to stop calling her boyfriend a pedophile, and people on Tumblr reblogged it to make fun of her and call him a pedophile.

The original Dead Space has been part of Game Pass Ultimate for a very long time. So reading that “Dead Space is coming to Game Pass” genuinely made me think that the new game would be joining the service, despite how unlikely that would be.

Let’s hope they did not lie....again,

No, none of that makes the headline less misleading

This article isn’t super accurate. This was his top 5 Recs for people who have never watched any anime and this is a pretty good starting list tbh.

Yeah, this metaphor doesn’t work because the whole reason fast food is popular is because it’s fast and cheap, not because it’s good. Whereas a volume of One Piece or Naruto costs exactly as much as a volume of whatever your favorite manga is, and (so long as it’s in print) it’s just as easy to find. So those series…

Inversely if I told you, “Oh Mooyah has the best burgers you’re going to get, it’s just down on Cougar Blvd behind the Walgreens” you’d look at me like I’m speaking another language.

Headline made me think Dead Space got added to Gamepass as a surprise :(

I’m personally fine with that? I dunno. If someone’s a phenomenal artist I rarely go ‘well okay that’s great and all, but can you dunk?’

How exactly does this game get “a pass” when there was enough controversy that the composer donated his entire salary to charity?

Some people have made it their entire identity to attack people who are planning to play this game as bigots or bigot enabling and I just can’t with these people. I’ve donated a not-insignificant amount of my time and money to progressive candidates but im going to enjoy creative mediums and I separate art from…

The voice of ignorance, because you clearly don’t realize the extent of developers who are hired straight out of the modding community.

I can toast some bread for breakfast, but I ain’t opening up a restaurant.

Obviously no arguing with the man. He’s right, and he acknowledges the problem right there too. It is absolutely one of those things where it’s super easy to want and acknowledge, but way harder in the execution within the triple-A game space. You’re kind of flying by the seat of your pants most of the time, and…
