You can charge $100 for a game when 100% of that doesn't go to some shitty MBA
we dont talk enough about how the majority of the podcast complex at this point is centered around playing new stuff.. AND that new stuff is generally only going to get about 2 weeks worth of discussion unless you're a doing a game club thing
I think a layer of nuance this round of discourse is missing is the very real FOMO that happens when not being able to purchase games on day one. For disabled people especially, who rely on games to build community and stay connected, not having a brand-new game means potentially losing community.
i grew up in Butler county.. and while as a kid i knew some people had problems.. it felt impossible to let things get this bad. in Hamiltion we used to bottle our water (top rated in the US at one point) and send it to people in disasters.

i didnt realize how small that bubble was.
Add Cincinnati to the rapidly expanding list of cities where homeless students sleep in parking lots because their families can't afford a place to live.

i really appreciate that this looks like a space where you've thought about how wheelchairs need to move.. thank you so much for that.
UP TO is doing mountains of work there
knowing that zoe quinn and mara wilson are at least friendly in a 'oh hi good to see you around' kinda way really shows that the chuds always get it wrong.. being happy and chill just gets you closer to other cool people.. being upset about whatever they say is wrong this time just makes you sad
i really consider it a blessing that my disability stops me from being able to play CS and the like.. bananas stories win or lose
its been a particular pain in rewatches because of crossovers.. which are great.. but so clearly designed to be seen in the same sitting on analog tv
what bothers me right now, peacock has the contract to have all of SVU up there but ever since the brought back OG law and order you can only stream the currently running season.

contracts are bullshit. im sorry that doesnt REALLY have much to do with what you were saying.. but i had to get it out
genuine question: why would you hold anything that has higher than a 3 digit value?.. you could buy so many games with that.

Been turning ‘Talericoed’ into a past tense verb in normal conversation for awhile, and it should be pretty self-explanatory, but to make a definition:

talerico
(verb)

1. To falsely insert yourself into an event for mythmaking.

| he talericos that he was MVP of his High School football team.
my least favorite thing on the entire internet is being stuck in a youtube shorts hole, seeing an interesting TV show I've never seen an ad for bc it got buried on streaming and having to hunt for the name of the show in the comments where 50% of people are talking as if this is a real situation.

thats what im saying. in this situation the bar to clear has become 'is he a nazi' and not 'would he be any good at this?'

just sucks ass everywhere.. we have to 'accept' the former reddit shitlord to offset paul fucking finebaum because we only elect memes now not real people
i saw some chatter that they were using GEN AI to make different assets.. did you notice anything?
i dont know that you can call this nothing.. sounds more like 'boy holy shit its slim pickens out here huh'
seeing 7 posts in a row about this but never getting an answer on what it all is.. not a good way to wake up in the morning
I have no idea who the Nazi Tattoo Chest Man is. Every scroll in this app reveals to me some sort of Blurry Seth Rogen figure all over again. Please don't tell me who he is. Just tell me if I need to go look up for myself who he is

If you were at TwitchCon and experienced or witnessed harassment, especially from IRL streamers, I'd like to speak with you for a story.

Please signal boost.

trying to at least get noticed enough to get editors to OPEN their emails.. it truely is like the 2 years of work i did mean nothing because they are not right now.

julie no*

*= or at least no until people get better about not shitting on people who cant finish games.. if my opinion is not allowed to be 'this shit is too brutal and it broke me' then id rather that friction be smoothed out until people are chill.

Y’all have GOT to stop uncritically sharing Stealth’s posts without checking your sources!

I can’t find a source for when and where Miyamoto supposedly said this or who translated it ANYWHERE and yet my timeline is flooded with takes on it.
woke up today and totally forgot the F1 race was here in America
at this stage getting a thumbs up from hasbro is like getting political support from Palmer Lucky
They cared so little for the project that they used AI to create yet another MMPR retread.

Therefore, I cannot be bothered to care about this project, however much validation Hasbro gives it.
The teaser trailer for the Ninja Kidz Power Rangers officially approved fan-film has dropped.
What are your thoughts? 🤔
