Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Joker: "Born to Post", sir.
Colonel: You write "Born to Post" on your helmet and you wear a t-shirt that says "Posting is a form of self harm". What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Joker: No, sir.

v annoying as a viewer, essential as a producer: we are always wrong about the one we think is best

what's your most compelling point? what's an odd thing you noticed? how do you feel about it? what are you promising me that i'll find on the other side of this? so i'm not singling this page out, someone else pointed out Oatly has been making content for YouTube for a while with the same issue:

imagine it's quite hard to get a line to Anita Sarkeesian these days - very weird to see hours of content being produced, edited, with a unique asset, and then it falls apart at the moment you title it - why would anyone who doesn't know what this is click on it?

Black History Month in the UK is largely ignored by the games industry anyway but this has to be the quietest I’ve ever seen it. No panels, no events, nothing. Damn.

i am fairly sure i know two things you could spend 10,000 a day on and not miss it and they are: libelous

video games are so funny this is the only medium where a game is crowned as a dense, psychological masterpiece but you can also say this

i am often at games events and i start to hear something spicy and i have to remind the person telling me it that they should, perhaps, not tell me it

my feeling on the longevity of this site is you probably could not post the wesley snipes / tony hawk thing on here

i've been playing a lot of mcginnis lately because if your job is just to push and counter-push lanes you can actually ensure you win because, well, you can't lose and there's no draws

also mina doesn't do as much object damage since this week's patch so you're better off building pure assassin and prioritising stacking bites after ult unlocks

cultist is only worth buying if you can get it before the t3 camp spawns and trophy collector is less efficient than other items up until a point where you'd probably have won the game without it anyway

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

wanted to play a game while listening to the audiobook of Adult Children Of Emotionally Immature Parents and i guess the most appropriate one really is Hades

Here’s a thing I’ll add, as someone who’s been there: if you’re the CEO of a platform with millions of users, you don’t get to have as much fun on that platform, period. And your job is to eat shit every time a legitimate critique of policy comes up. That’s the gig. Don’t sign up if you aren’t game.

i am catching up on the moderation discourse and it’s really annoying that this episode basically goes back to leadership trying to have a goof and a gag. there’s not a lot of room-reading happening which comes across as immature and unprofessional
