Furukawa understands the industry he's in better than people who've been in it for two or three decades, but if you say that too loud somebody's gonna mention his business degree or the fact he's from outside of the games industry.
• Furukawa thinks that it’s importation to build a strong financial foundation, so that employees can take time to refine creations until themselves are satisfied, without being pressured by short term business results.

I've seen so much ink spilled over Monster Hunter Wilds' technical performance being its achilles heel and not its god-awful narrative or raptor taxis or smoothing-out of all of the mastication that made these games so captivating in the first place

Hosting rights require integrity. America’s aggression, human rights failures, and threats to visiting fans show it is unfit to host, by FIFA’s own standard.

New Gist: The Abuse Factory
It shouldn't be difficult to act swiftly and without hesitation when the question posed is "Is it OK to work with the child sexual abuse material factory?" But our state failed this most straightforward of tests this week.

Again, the people who seem to be most damaged by social media aren't the kids - who are quite good at navigating it - but the middle-aged, who get caught up in extremism, fooled by misinformation, trapped by scammers, and addicted to porn.
Stop focussing on the kids. Start with the rest of us.

The Nintendo Wii got so much shit in its day for its visuals and in hindsight I think most of its best games’ visuals have aged better than its competitors.

We're going to start seeing all the rhetoric around peaceful protest as we're facing our neighbors being abducted, shot in the face with pepper spray, hands broken, and killed in front of their wives.
Think before you even use the word "peaceful." At all.

Appealing to legality is a dead end. Everything the state does is "legal", anything that we do is "illegal"
Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

Getting to the top of the tower in Dark Souls after beating the Gargoyle and realising just how much of the game world you can see from there
tell me about a time you were awed by a set piece in a video game. not a story beat, not an emotional moment or a cool mechanic, but something just There, in the world, that made your jaw drop or sent a chill up your spine

This video is always relevant when people start trying to talk about the need for 'more training'. This is about police but ICE is trained by many of the same people discussed in this video. They are doing exactly what they were trained to do.
