Linking this again. Clint's Grievances nails it, again. Still can't get my head around the comparatively small size of this channel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWDM...

BAFTA are asking what the most influential game of all time is. Last year they asked 'most iconic game character' and got Lara Croft, so I expect the result is going to be hugely embarrassing again, but you can make a doomed stand against a tidal wave of idiocy here: www.bafta.org/stories/the-...

A movie theatre ceiling collapsed during Captain America and nobody died because only two people were in the theatre. How the hell is this a real thing that happened and not a Half in the Bag bit? Are we living in Mike Stoklasa's head? www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... @redlettermedia.com

It's true that the monopolist digital retailer on PC needlessly put up barriers to market access for the longest time, so long that many people assumed this was is normal, but thankfully they're gradually becoming less of a bottleneck.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

LinkedIn is sadly necessary because the career advancement route of "having your bosses make a bet that they can turn the next person who walks into their office into the next Jonathan Blow" is relatively narrow

There are replies to this that try to argue that Goldeneye holds up better today than Quake, and I already know those are the dumbest posts I'll read this year

Unreasonably psyched about how smart and outspoken the Project Orion writing team are shaping up to be. None of the big publisher "oh no, our games are strictly apolitical popcorn entertainment" malarkey here.

To the "UK English" localisation person working on Windows 11, trying to change instances of "program" to "programme" (which is FUCKING. WRONG.) and having update messages say e.g. "Ey-up! Bangers and mash, got a cheeky update for ya!" is absolutely not convincing anyone your role is necessary

This articulates something I've felt for a long time. Friends of Jimbo detracts from the game and has so little care put into any kind of curation, which is jarring compared to the considered economy of every other part of Balatro's design.
