They’re all 40-somethings (or at least pushing it). A change in ownership is a great time to assess whether you want to keep doing the same thing for a different boss, or whether you want to strike out on your own.

Giant Bomb is a personality-driven website about video games, primarily featuring video content. They’ve been doing it since before Twitch existed.

Some money got laundered.  

Dude stfu

It’s the whole schtick, though: white women doing gross things with food. If the videos were all children or puppies or whatever, Claire wouldn’t be like “someone is cooking this spaghetti,” she would say “a puppy is cooking this spaghetti.”

because that is the type of woman whose videos he produces over and over again

I really enjoy Ann Reardon and her How to Cook That channel on YouTube. Along with her fantastic cooking videos, she does a number of debunking videos that go into details on why many of the recipes on content farms (5-minute hacks, blossom, etc.) are bad and sometimes dangerous. She will even discuss how to make…

Both were sold off to Red Ventures.

It’s weird how Kotaku is my social media, now. I mean, I have an Instagram, but I post nonsense and I just look at memes on there sometimes.

I don’t have any gaming friends either, really. Or at least the ones that do game don’t ever seem to talk about it that much, for the most part.

Kotaku has gone through lots of…

With Official Playstation Mag UK closing and now most of Giant Bomb leaving...

I guess I don’t feel bad now for stiffing them a $1 “humble tip” and going 50/50 between the content provider and charity.

Lived long enough to become the villain, I see

“America’s racist past”

past? HAHAHAH

I’m not arguing that there are not actors stoking division for the purposes of keeping certain groups both weaker and fighting among themselves. That has been a well documented strategy of the US Government going back decades.

My point is more that these chuds consider even a discussion about how the US has been…

Critical race theory is essentially scholarship based on the foundation that white supremacy exists, it’s bad, and it can be defeated. So which of those foundations are we expected to disagree with?

And even when they “quote” MLK, BOY is it selective.

“We...must...love...our brotherhood and...have a dream!”

~MLK(...?)

He added that “we should be fostering unity to come together and heal—not division. The question is how?”

Horseshoe Theory - The idea that if you go far enough left or right on the political spectrum, the two sides touch and become indistinguishable.

Add “critical race theory” to list of things that Republicans love to scream about but haven’t bothered to actually research. See also; 1984, socialism, freedom of speech.

I don’t think it’s accurate to say “most gamers don’t play games for their story.” The medium forces changes to a narrative format; it similarly wouldn’t make sense to say “most gallery patrons don’t look at paintings for the story.” At best, a comparison might be to a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book or Black Mirror…
