This seems to me to be suffering the same ills as The All-Star Games of American Sports. Exhibition Match, best players from the league(s), there should be a level of prestige and buy-in, but because it is less important than everything surrounding those games they become gimmicks.

The Great Escape, mostly because it is peak dad-core and also because it allowed you to get all the references in Chicken Run as a child.

All low level enterprise computers run on increasingly rebranded Pentium 4s that Intel accidentally made too many of in 2008. This post has been fact checked by real IT patriots: TRUE

FSG is like “remember how you felt as a literal child when Nomar was traded? And then how you felt as a young adult when we got rid of Mookie? Check this shit out, lol”

I’m the guy making phone hold music. For twenty five years I have made it so each note peaks your phone speakers and each chord is incomprehensibly muddied over the cell tower. Some days I go in and add a glockenspiel click on the 2s so you can count every second of excruciation.

I really hate being on the "ban this sick filth" side of a moral panic, but I can't argue that we shouldn't be restricting gambling ads the same way we did with cigarettes.

Pickleball players deserve less. Each time you put tape on a real tennis court and create your cacophony of plastic sounds you have sinned in the eyes of god. The only way to return a screamer of a first serve is to get good, instead you ran away and now you’re getting smoked in a sillier game.

America’s greatest cities run on Animus. NYC, Boston, LA, Chicago, Philly, MSP, DC. With all due respect to Omaha, you do not have enough haters and it shows.

You probably shouldn’t be listening to any terminally online posters on how to protest (including me) but at a minimum I would not listen to 1. People who think causing traffic delays is a step too far. 2. People who don’t go outside yelling about armed insurrection.

Exposed in 4K. What do you mean a dame named Scarlet Sommers sitting on the desk of PI Hank “Tank” Bradley might have some theatricality, or some over-the-top aspects.

I worry deeply and often about the state of the industry, the games it does and doesn’t produce, and who runs it. I share these feelings often. *Advertising* that feeling to put your game over? You are monetizing the rot, you have no honor, and I don’t trust you.

The difference in number between “high schoolers who play a sport” and “D1-2 players who have any kind of scholarship” makes the KT extinction look generous.

The vibes in and out of the industry are well and truly fucked, but it’s hard for me to agree with the abstract here when joy abounds from Deltarune to ArcSys Mahvel. The horrors persist but so do we.

I know it’s because millennials now have money (allegedly) and are of the perfect age to cater to, but I like to think that someone did finally crack the code that “hey actually, coolness did peak right around here, and we shouldn’t have cleaned it up”

Having now fully digested the concept of ArcSys 4v4 Mahvel , MVC Collection looks less like a tease for MVC4 and more like standing outside with a boom box hoping she takes you back.

I am choosing to believe that this is a new variant of the endless waves of “ideas guys” that crash upon the rocks of game design courses. Partially because they exhibit similar behaviors and lack of understanding, but mostly because the alternative is horrifying.
