"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it"

My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

Also is NYC more affordable than LA? I’m sure the rent is crazy here too but the food prices aren’t bananas? You can’t get fast food in LA without dropping $25 at least. A fucking non-Costco hot dog is like $12. Here there’s real restaurants offering real food for single digit dollars still

I’ve been waiting decades for this. I went on a flavor journey and arrived at the promised land. I heard the true name of God in the snap of its crust, and the beauty of all creation reflected in its pools of oil.

i texted pics of this pizza to all my closest family and friends

Pizza in California is fine when it’s doing its own thing, like bulgogi pizza or bbq basil or some shit like that, but they still can’t do a simple cheese or pepperoni slice right.

I've wanted to break this down for a bit: Wrote about a big quirk in how Game Awards is structured that makes it tough for small games to compete at a top level. Localization matters! And it creates a tough battle for the Blue Princes and 1000xResists of the world. www.polygon.com/blue-prince-...
In the GOTY race, localization really matters — which is bad news for Blue Prince
One of the year's best games will have a tough time breaking into The Game Awards

I think I am at the cusp of experiencing a catatonic seizure upon the realization that the entire senior administration is literally no more competent than a first year high school policy debate kid who is barely making the junior varsity squad

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Makoto Yukimura was worried that Vinland Saga's farming arc and "I have no enemies" moment was a gamble that readers wouldn't like. I told him about the J. Cole meme from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef. This is how he reacted.
o9: To give more color on that, Thorfinn’s famous declaration that he has “no enemies” has become a meme in the west—used affectionately, especially during the high-profile rap beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, through J.Cole reaction images in social media posts, and as a shorthand catchphrase in anime circles. How does it feel to see such a pivotal moment in your story take root in popular culture in this way?

Yukimura: (Laughs) First of all, I feel very happy that it has turned into such a phenomenon—my work turning into a meme—because it means that my intention to make what I’m trying to say in the story into a short, compact sentence was successful. People won’t remember if it was a really long sentence or something very complicated. If “I have no enemies” has become a meme and people remember it, then maybe people will understand what I’m really trying to say through the story, which is that humans are immature, but we can mature. To become mature is to become kind. This is the foundation of what I’m trying to say, but it really has to be much shorter for people to remember. But it does give me hope that people remember these short phrases as memes. Then, one day, it will click in their mind what I was trying to really say in the first place.

Met up with my dad for lunch before I head out and he gave me a bag full of "things you'll need for your trip"

It was just candy and a pack of boxer-briefs

t's wild that Disney has always wanted Tron to be one of their big tentpole franchises and then they pinned all that money and all their hopes on the guy who played goddamn Morbius and The Joker Who Shops at Hot Topic

Just means that Red Pikmin is confirmed for Smash Bros. 6: MESSIAH OF VIDEOGAMES (actual title)

So I've figured out what this absolutely, 100% is:

The next video will reveal that the parent was leaving the room to play a round of Super Smash Bros. 6, a game that is more fulfilling than raising a child

The answer to why no one seems to be making new Deus Ex or whatevs is pretty much entirely that: they are, but then some guy with money goes "but that doesn't look like the game that sold well this year!" and shoots it with a shotgun

All the classic Legendary games were pre-venture capital in games

It's super cool that any time I meet somebody else who's into old shit I have to wonder if they actually like Mega Man X for real reasons or if they're just some terminally online weirdo who misses when minorities weren't allowed to move into this neighborhood

Always be cautious about any person or organization or business or anything really that ties into the so-called "retro gaming culture", especially if they don't let you know where they stand. Because if they aren't upfront about it, they'll let you know after they got your money and attention.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.
The picture from
The article with a picture of an armed men standing in front of a burning donut shop. You must click through to read the caption “
Two National guardsmen stand guard outside a burning donut shop in Los Angeles on April 30, 1992.
The National Guard was called in to aid police during the second day of rioting in the city.”
