Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real

microsoft funds genocide, fills their dev pipelines with ai slop and throws all the people who actually make the video games into the street. i cannot imagine, even if you are politically sheltered and just want your treats, ever buying and supporting an xbox game. theres no future here

by all accounts this was a disastrously managed production where it only managed to ship at all due to a massive crunch from the staff that remained so this is so cruel. thanks for bailing us out now fuck off

never ship your game. worst thing you can do

Halo Studios Hit by Layoffs After Campaign Evolved Launch insider-gaming.com/halo-studios...

Emily Wilson set the entire world to arguing how to properly interpret an ancient poem and a modern blockbuster but sure, this is a failure of public engagement.

If the academy gets pulled into coming out swinging against the biggest adaptation of Homer in probably a couple generations off the back of one prominent scholar deciding to be Reviewer 2 to Nolan's work, it will say, IMO, pretty damning things about academia's ability to foster public engagement.

a yuri where one woman sends the other woman photos of herself in cute outfits to the other woman she has intense romantic and sexual tension with but the other woman overthinks how to react and so just keeps sending 👍

Me doing th math like that meme woman: So the Sex Purge guy is using a sex purge as a metaphor for covid restrictions. Which is bad. But at the end [spoilers for the Sex Purge] they don't have sex and realize there's more to life. Which means covid restrictions serve a purpose? Which is good????

I'm sorry, they made a sex purge movie about two hot people not fucking???

Going fascist. But then going fascist again. So you land on being liberal

its just true that if you look at a cartoon long enough you'll start wanting to fuck it you just never want to think about it happening to the people playing clash royale or bloons tower defense

So far, so good! 😆

"FFXIV devs didn't know where the story was gonna go after Endwalker and are just trying different things" yeah man that's how writing works

The director of Sex Purge: Please don't ask me questions about the Sex Purge

I left corporate communications and public relations because the work was soul-sucking. I'm now working in public sector IT. I'm a long way from being a journalist but at least I can pay my mortgage and family grocery bills.

That's what I was saying. I got into corporate communications and public relations explicitly because I could not find paying work as a journalist. One publication even tried to offer me a "job" as a music journalist where they would not pay me and also I'd have to pay for my own concert tickets.

This happens super often because papers don't pay and pr firms do. I can't tell you how many paper people I know that have been forced into pr.

No more Sims games for us. No more EA games either, for that matter. Some words on why.

They also post pics of him pretransition to be like "I totally would have sexually assaulted him when he was younger," which viewed through a certain lens just makes me think about Hitlerites posting about "Roman towelboys" etc. etc.

We've been just through months of alt-right chuds yelling "look at this effete, naturally inferior kind of man" about Elliot Page in the Odyssey. They figured out how to be shitty about trans men, and ⭐Surprise!⭐ it's the same way they're shitty about every other kind of marginalized man

can you guys retire "the right wing / chuds don't know what to do with trans men and forget they exist and will be So Confused by them!!!!" already. they are fully aware trans men exist and the thing they do to trans men is violently abuse and murder them

"aha ... our trap card ... showing off this fully transitioned trans guy! checkmate conservatives" you people are so utterly useless it's no wonder that fascism is ascendant everywhere i'm sorry what else can i say

it's so awesome how everyone is stuck in 2016 talking points

"There is a biological sensor inside that tracks dopamine and if your levels spike at the same time as someone you're physically near, it documents that as a sexual encounter. Masturbation is legal and it is implied that gay sex successfully operates outside of the mandate. "
