Listen, I get it. I and everyone else are sick of soulless suits shoving AI down our throats. But when the discourse reaches a boiling point where you claim anything you don't like is AI or "worse than" AI, I genuinely start to question if you even respect art in the first place.

Guys, I think I've cracked the NintenDeen code. If the game wasn't an instant success, it was obviously a terrible game from evil greedy Nintendo. If the game WAS a huge success, it doesn't exist because it doesn't fit my narrative. I never want to hear anyone say he's not a grifter ever again.

Why even bother trying to get your foot into the mainstream entertainment scene? Your project ends up being a massive flop? You get laid off. Your project is one of the most successful the company's ever made? You get laid off. I'm glad I never pursued this path if this is the new normal.

After making the most successful Disney movies this year, obviously Pixar employees must now face huge layoffs variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Twitter: "Bluesky is garbage. We support free speech." The free speech in question: Anti-Semitism, ageism, racism, joke policing, and Epstein spam all from a clip of Scott The Woz saying "Wii U bad" (it is). Ah yes. Completely normal and morally acceptable behavior. Why would I ever want to leave?

At this point, I genuinely think the suits (derogatory) just keep doing this because they know they can and they take pleasure in ruining people's lives because of it. And the more these stories come out, the more I inch closer and closer to never wanting to consume any non-indie media ever again.

You know, maybe this is really easy for me to say since I got my dream game in Kirby Air Riders last year. But given the direction we're heading down, the Switch 2 might genuinely be the last modern console I ever buy. And as sad as this sounds, part of me is okay with that.

"It was inevitable" "Been saying this for years" "I'm all digital anyway" Please leave. This will mean fewer options for consumers, more control for publishers, and a huge part of gaming culture vanishing just like that You can still buy physical movies. You will not be able to buy physical games
