Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Joker: "Born to Post", sir.
Colonel: You write "Born to Post" on your helmet and you wear a t-shirt that says "Posting is a form of self harm". What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Joker: No, sir.

Videogamer's new logo a screaming exclamation mark on the 'support independent games media' argument. Legitimately thought this was someone taking the piss when it was first posted in a discord, but no, it's on the site. You have to laugh (or else you'll cry)

Deep in the article, there are quotes from young liberal staffers too. There is a problem with inflammatory rhetoric on both sides.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

Nice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted you as the soyjak doomscroller Bob and myself as the chad organizer Sensei Sergio.

the first good tiktok i ever saw was a guy saying "Best MCU movies RANKED" before the camera cuts to him throwing his dvds in the bin and saying "they're all equally shit"

video games should be treated like radiation exposure and games critics should have to wear those massive lead vests

median games commenter who wants reviewers to crunch to hit deadlines, but it's because they think no one deserves to be tortured by having to play a video game for longer than they need to

been having the music/games 'industry' parallel on the mind all the way through games week, and that always leads back to me thinking about steve albini being essentially my standard for the kind of person i want to be in a scene/community. heres a little something from a reddit ama he did ages ago

Connections don't mean shit. I've never had any connections that weren't a natural outgrowth of doing things I was doing anyway. Additionally, the people you might make connections with who work in the industry and value connections themselves, all those people are clueless assholes with no clout anyhow. You can tell because they think they can get somewhere with connections and spend their energy trying to make connections rather than being good at things, and being good at things is the only thing that earns you clout or connections.

It's a myth that you can get anywhere in music through connections. The guy on the other end of the connection has to be into what you're doing, and if you're doing it publicly and he's receptive, he probably hears about it on his own.

Don't worry about anything but making music you like. Everything else is bullshit.

Real opening paragraph in an Official Nintendo Magazine feature

"I once punched my younger brother so hard in the chest that he vomited up that morning's breakfast - cornflakes mainly. It wasn't technically the Heimlich manoevre, as he wasn't choking and I wasn't trying to save him-"
