I'm just more puzzled on the Fortnite side of things, like - who there was like "Yeah, sure, the woman from Obsession. That's an IP that makes sense in our shooty game - that's worth spending money for the license and will get us cash back."

Gamers, would you pay $1800 to play Madden on a NEW console? No? What if we sweetened the deal a bit and charged you a fee to play online and took away discs and all games & controllers cost $100 now? Still no? What if we put out a new CEO deep dive article every month talking about how great we are

Perpetually annoyed whenever I see an ad that’s just a TikTok. The ad industry used to waste so much money on elaborate, high concept garbage and society was better for it. Let’s get Jonathan Glazer to shoot a Cadbury ad where the devil does sexual chocolate ballet with babes.

i think i will keep just approaching things with an open mind and try to have actual constructive criticism of things instead of reactionary takes! I find I tend to just enjoy shit more like that

I really don’t think people understand what R* is like to work for. There’s no “field” it’s a black box you exist in. There’s no games industry or meeting people from it. It’s just you & the other people who work at R*. You don’t realize but they’re pitted against each other constantly.

Wow holy fuck what a shit in principle but also at least have some selfworth and ask for more than an hour of time off for betraying your entire field www.verticalslice.news/rockstar-acc...

If you’re on the fence let this be your wake up call. You -can- be a girl. You can do that. You’re allowed to. Don’t let yourself or anyone else get in your way. All you gotta do is accept yourself for who you’ve always been~ 💖

This isn’t even a “haha digital circus fandom bad” thing. In my opinion ALL fandoms are bad because the internet, by design, enables all sorts of zealotry and narcissism. “Fame” affords me a lot; more than most people can say. But also I need to maintain a healthy distance from it.

Every time I consider quitting I see some phenomenal passion and fanart for my webcomic and I tear up and am excited to keep going
