the term "passing" comes from whether or not you look good enough while disguised as a maid to make it past the palace guards

The way that Sektori’s strike attack reloads when you dash into a token and the way that strike chain functions as a multiplier for the separate kill chain is one of the beautiful things I’ve seen in a game in years. It’s mechanically perfect.

I don't think our literary culture has sufficiently explored the concept of "the down-underverse" from the episode of the simpsons where lisa gets really into crash bandicoot

the breadth of what we get now ui/presentation-wise is so rad and interesting in a way that we did not get back then because publishing a game was like 100000x harder. we're feastin' better than ever (imo!) but the stuff at the top is without a doubt full of capitalist slop rot

Thinking a lot about how when Schreier's exposé on R* working conditions came out, several mid-level devs I used to respect came out with very defensive "well *I've* never worked 90 hour weeks" as though it negated the fact that many contract and QA devs demonstrably were.
PMG understands Rockstar became aware of these messages after at least one non-union member of the server raised concerns about these discussions with management and this either kicked off, or contributed to, a wider investigation.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.
