The fact that no one outside of DMA could see the potential of something as blatantly futuristic as GTA3 shows just how myopic and weak-willed all of the suits, publishers and executives are in the gaming space. anyone with a soul could see this was special

looking at the guts of Rolands new TR-1000 drum machine and seeing maybe $200-300 in parts. conventional opamps, transistors, a few microcontrollers, standard knobs/pots and tiny display.
considering they're selling these for $2700 USD (2744,40 €) thats a crazy mark-up

I was home from school, sick with the flu, and decided to try installing Worldcraft (Hammer) again, after failing to get it working previously.

sitting in a fancy hotel and having breakfast, Im struct with the realization that I hate being waited upon. I would much rather be in the back of a dive bar or greasy spoon, invisible to the "staff"

Im old enough to have ordered a Giger shirt off of this website. it was exceptionally well-screen printed, and I eventually wore it into tatters
which is a shame because I now realize that shirt would be worth hundreds today

I am so bored of cooking peas!

Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine

LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!

Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.

Over 200 employees from Rockstar North have signed a letter to management, in which they have condemned the firing of fellow staff members.
