It sounds more like Richards used it as an excuse to nix the only other guy who was ever really in the running.

As a fat person, I can confidentially say that fat people don't have the privilege of socially banishing everyone from our lives who has made a shitty fatphobic comment 

Eh, sorry. Amogus was incredibly derivative on arrival (I remember being flabbergasted hearing friends talk about it and finding out it was basically a bad Flash game version of Werewolf), and the word “imposter” isn’t some secret sauce.

For security researchers, $7500 is pretty much nothing, and it means the next person who finds something like this knows they’ll make 10-100x more selling it to a hacking forum.

“It’s challenging to find women in engineering roles, which was a lot of the hires that we made”

As someone who works in the software engineering industry, you quite literally have to put effort into having a team full of talented folks and not hire A SINGLE POC OR WOMAN. That is something you have to *work* for.

Simply,…

I’ve played every Final Fantasy game in the mainline series. It took me THIRTY FOUR YEARS!!!!

“One burrito is way too big for a single meal”

lol what

Hot cheat code that Niantic DON’T want you to know: you can actually become immune to this disease and keep your immunocompromised and underage friends and family safe by getting vaccinated and encouraging everyone around you to do so.

This is the greatest “this u?” of all time.

This is some “googling how to fix your PS2 laser” shit and you love to see it

He’s not the CEO, so of course he doesn’t have the final say. But when the lead producer of the game and one of the most respected created voices at your company says “I don’t think we’re ready to show the game at this show,” I imagine you take that seriously.

Uh, are we supposed to cheering for Activision and YouTube? Have fun with that.

If anyone saw the presentation last night, the Pixel Remasters actually look pretty nice. The character sprites are still a *bit* too washed-out in my opinion, but the environments and such look great.

I’ll have to check these out. I had a really hard time trying to push through Returns and eventually bounced, so it’s good to hear that the sequels are big improvements.

Let’s be real, though; most people buying this (like me!) are doing it for the collectability. I love real hardware and games but at this point I have much better ways to play almost everything than sticking an actual 20+ year old CD in a 20+ year old CD drive and praying. I think most people interested in this are in…

As someone who has an entire large room full of original hardware in various states of modding to work with modern displays ... no. Those things are ticking time bombs, and original hardware in general is going to fail eventually.

Emulation is the path forward, for better or worse, and luckily hardware-based FPGA…

Also, don’t underestimate the power of a good shop vac.

“ a few hours to put in a couple runs”

K, so you and the devs are saying they don’t want anyone with a job and a family to buy it. Fair enough, I’ll keep my money.

Resident Evil 4 was basically the death of the series for me (it’s fine, but it’s not a Resident Evil game), so this is kinda disappointing. That said, I did enjoy 7, so I’ll probably check this out regardless.
