Today's Load-bearing Tomato addresses the age old question:
"why don't the devs just [SOCIAL MEDIA OPINION]"
It turns out, "a lot of reasons", but if you never have to test your ideas, you never have to discover why they're not any good.

Why chasing twitter's approval doesn't work
The opinions you believe are universal are being fed to you by an algorithm designed to show you what you want.

makes sense, from start to end of my teenage years I played Final Fantasies 7, 8, 9 and 10 as they came out. that kind of thing is gonna warp you into being dependably nostalgic if nothing else. if the only contemporary FF I got to play was 15? that couldn't warp me, I'd be normal and well adjusted.
Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

Blue Prince creator Tonda Ros subscribes to our retro magazine blind box so I said hi at D.I.C.E. yesterday. He was like "I keep waiting for it to be a Nintendo Power," and then paused and was like "Don't game the system and send me one!" which is just beautiful, that's exactly who I'd hoped he was.

Okay but she posted on Reddit after the broadcast that she realized partway through Double Jeopardy that this was her only way to win, and started deliberately picking clues/buzzing in to maximize the odds that they would be tied going into Final. Absolute galaxy brain.

all this talk about character design needing to be a little freaky to work has me thinking about how random bartender NPC Siobhan Honkaistarrail is a better design than just about any character in any given hero shooter

Gavin Newsom is definitely the Rita Repulsa of Democrats
Look, our society just doesn't have the spiritual strength to vanquish Gavin Newsom at this time. We need to seal him in a well for one thousand years, do some asceticism to gather power, then take him on in a climactic battle when he re-emerges
