It’s early yet, but I alreadyt say best news of the week.

This is definitely one piece of Youth Speak that drives me up the damn wall the second I hear it. Toss it in an article, sure. As a headline it just feels off.

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?

Come on.

Is giving Marvel Snap what?

Automaton spotted!

Yeah, Last Action Hero was a little before its time, meta wasn’t a THING yet. Now I think people know what it’s about and love it for it.

Last Action Hero is ridiculously ahead of its time. I love that movie through and through. 

I am disappointed that the “Read More” button wasn’t brought in on the gag and relabeled “Would you like know more?”

It’s funny that we’ll remember this kid for this pretty nifty accomplishment. We won’t remember this lady, whose name I already forgot, within minutes of reading this article about her dumb ass.

That is certainly an opinion, but it might change had you actually played his games. Regardless of his methodology and justification for some out-there ideas, his titles are technical marvels and quite ground breaking for the medium. I’m not defending the man, but to put down the games, their footprint on the industry…

You certainly managed to draw a lot of conclusions about games that are 100+ hours long without actually playing them, based entirely on very small amounts of information. Clearly, we have found our new authority on the subject.

Interesting to dig more into Unity’s really tumultuous stock price over the past couple of years for some possible added context.
