Right. I don’t mind at all exploring a large, well-designed world. But if you’re going to tell me that not only do I have to keep a crib sheet of all possible quests but that the end result of even minor quests could be quite literally anywhere, I’m going to start doing the calculus of “do I spend 3 real life hours…

It’s really weird to me that so many people make this argument over and over again. You don’t see anyone insisting that, because they are ADULTS with JOBS, it’s insanely obnoxious and unreasonable to publish books longer than a novella. Only some kind of unemployed, lonely degenerate could possibly read more than 100…

Can I pay someone to stop putting this guys face in the thumbnails? I no longer wish to look at dead things.

*Cracks knuckle*

The “boop/beep” thing was a direct insult to Pedro Pascal, after he put pronouns in his bio as a show of support for his trans sister. Publicly attacking the star of the hugely successful show you somehow landed a part on is exactly the kind of stupid-as-shit career move that leads directly to working for Ben Shapiro.

You’re right.  The commenter clearly was saying that Stone has never done wrong in her entire life, and is the Messiah.

Yes, 10 years ago, she took a job and she’s apologized repeatedly.

Every time I see people with this same bullshit take, I think that you either didn’t see Poor Things or you don’t understand how basic math works.

“Robbing” is a strong and inappropriate word. It would have been awesome to see Gladstone win because I really loved her performance, but Stone’s was also really incredible, and a much bigger part of her film. The award was up for grabs especially between the two of them, and not for Gladstone to lose.

So let me get this straight: they just had Hogwarts Legacy, a best-selling game of 2023 that’s single-player with no microtransactions and no live-service component to it, and Suicide Squad which is a GaaS disaster (in a successful Arkham series that was single-player up to this point) that went as low as 250 players…

Japanese devs in general understood the idea of ignoring social media. Switch off YT comments like they do in Japan too. I don’t know why western devs like talking so much online. Gamers are parasites, invite them in and they’ll ruin you.

Take a lesson from Fromsoft. They do not give a shit about fan communication. They do note issues the community is complaining about for patches but there’s almost never statements, and definitely no conversations. They do things their way and let the chips fall where they may.

i honestly think listening to the internet ruined the entire industry.

Sure, every community has vocal assholes, but it seems like “gamers” have taken that reality as a challenge and then went the wrong way with it. “Every community has assholes? Well then we’ll win by having the most, biggest, worst assholes! Assholes that shit on everything! We’ll win at assholes!”

Oh relax. Anglophone and Francophones picking on one another is a national past time. Nearly half my blood relatives are Francophones and we poke fun at one another constantly. That said, I have two family members who work(ed) at Eidos Montreal and it had it’s fair share of French Canadian employees (not a majority…

In “defense” of Eidos Montreal, being an asshole to other people is a very French Canadian thing to do, so it’s not like they were singling him out.

Cloud understood the importance of keeping his work relationships strictly professional after the last time he tried to make a friend ended with him waking up in a field of grass surrounded by bodies.

“I come before you today with an indie game! Perhaps the greatest indie game of all... nah, this indie game isn’t for you. It’s more of an itch.io kinda indie game!”

The grifters have moved on to “AI” “art” and “writing.”
