the current strain of anti-creativity seems to be based on the premise that creative thought and labor is calculable and can be turned into a formula, when it is in fact the closest thing to magic that we have in this world
Is there any particular reason why women characters in video games need to be hot? What happens if women characters in video games aren’t hot? Does the world end?
Did the Democratic Party become more left wing by inches or has the entire country become so conservative that Roe v. Wade is crumbling before our eyes and one state made it illegal to talk about being gay in school. Who’s to say.

You don't need to play them to notice the woke BS. GoW literally putting a black chick in a Norse setting. C'mon, it's woke bullshit and you know it.
Rightoids are saying Bloodborne isn't about womenhood again 💀
They're bringing it up because “Bloodborne isn't 'woke' because I like it!!”-reasons. (BG3 go woke go broke)
David is constantly astonished by how bad the Harry Potter worldbuilding is so please drop your favorite nugget of completely nonsensical potter lore here because I’ve forgotten as much as I’ve remembered
somerton was making $170,000/yr on patreon apparently and continue to belabor this point but: that is more money annually than i have EVER made in my entire career. and he did it, in part, by ripping me off.
I’m sorry this is actually fine. This is some above average to good comedy writing. Can’t speak for the rest of the game but the lead’s voice acting sells it.
me when I only watch a 3 hour long black and white movie about how Isaac Newton took his first poop because I don’t think fun superhero movies are “real cinema”
Everyone who has built up the mythology of Goncharov, a fake Martin Scorsese movie, has clearly never seen a real Martin Scorsese movie, and I love that for them.
it's very funny that frodo is trending because in about an hour we are also going to see many of those people discover that the person who wrote the tweet in question is a murderer
I asked David what actually differentiates Lowtax from Musk at this point and David pointed out that Lowtax, despite being horrible, actually did build something whereas Musk never has

i just keep thinking about the depravity of trevor, as a character. it's like they're saying, only america could produce a person like this.
as a gambit appreciator, i have to say: you don't end up a gambit fan because he's powerful. you end up a gambit fan because you think it's extremely funny that the x-men is a paramilitary organization full of human gods and this one guy who's there to bone.
It looks like so many actors in SAG are already on the picket because they are either already members of the WGA or supporting their friends and colleagues. The SAG strike seems almost inevitable at this point.
Also never think too hard about the British wizarding system of justice, where if you’re wrongly convicted there’s so recourse and you’re sent to an island where monsters suck out your soul
“I plagiarized a ton of people cause I have adhd” is so wild. I also have adhd and mostly it makes me have bonkers mood swings and be chronically late.
the fact that deathloop, a good game that with a horseshit story, is nominated for best narrative at the game awards pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this stupid awards show
Marcille is just an effortlessly written lesbian. Almost all of why she’s Like That can be explained by her being a lesbian generally and super gay for Falin in specific.
The thing with millennials and the Metaverse is that we've seen literally the exact same concept implemented over a decade ago. It's like if Facebook changed it's name to Micro and promised the future was microblogging
Also I saw someone referring to Jorts the cat as “one of the most beloved leftists” and I’m sorry if an orange cat from the internet is one of the most significant figures in left wing politics to you, you do actually NEED to read a book.
i shouldn't pick on this guy but here he is straight up saying that he does not believe anyone is playing final fantasy 7 rebirth for the story, a sentence so mind boggling that i have to take a break from twitter i am sorry

I'm just staying the obvious. Gamer target audience are nerdy male virgins. You want to sell to them? You better cater to demand.
Come on, you think FF7 - Rebirth made historical sale bc of good story? great gameplay? pphsstt... nah...
an encouraging thing i keep seeing in response to harry's video is people saying "well, i'm a way better writer than this other guy, i should give it a shot" and emphatically yes, please do
What albums are perfect 10s for you? No skipped songs, pure bangers from back to start, on top of being genre defining and/or moving and personal pieces of art?
If you only read this website you’d believe that Scorsese only makes movies about the mafia and has only ever done so. He directed ~40 films, and under ten deal with crime or the criminal lifestyle.
You’re okay with a video game about murdering a HIGHLY MODIFIED version of the Norse pantheon as a Greek guy with a black man’s voice. But if u black person shows up, that’s bad. Okay!
Fullmetal Alchemist’s complete understanding of the mechanics of a fascist state and the systems that degrade the people victimized by the state continues to surprise and impress me
The Matrix Resurrections is a movie about how the best way to make a reboot or distant sequel is to not care at all if the people who obsessively fill out the fan wiki will be satisfied
I stopped shaving my armpits and legs and pubes like ten years ago and got laid constantly. People straight up do not even notice. Anyone who thinks it’s nasty is a child.
something i ponder frequently: so, so, so many adults watch children's entertainment and then get upset that it does not appeal to adult sensibilities. why????
hi! i am gita jackson. i'm a journalist and critic with around ten years of experience, and I am looking for work. here's a thread of some of the stories i'm most proud of.

pressure campaign are losers and goons. They're the cool kids from junior high who worked to exclude we nerds from cool kid events, plus the losers who joined in to gain cred. The elite-only verification system sucked, been criticizing it since 2018.
I love that right wingers never update their stereotypes. A blue hair with pronouns is ordering a multi hyphenate coffee from Starbucks? What is this, 2008?
someone QRTed this to say "isn't admitting that you've never made this much money in your career a self own" buddy we have definitely got to get a better understanding of the economics of journalism and writing on the internet, 170k/yr is a bonkers high salary
somerton was making $170,000/yr on patreon apparently and continue to belabor this point but: that is more money annually than i have EVER made in my entire career. and he did it, in part, by ripping me off.
the souls games simply do not get enough credit for being as funny as they are. there is a recurring character whose entire thing is to push you into a big hole.
one time brianna wu called me unprofessional for not being able to fix the unfixable problem of having audio leak from my apple earpods while recording the three hour game of the year podcast she scheduled for the day after christmas
So gamergate 2 has made targets out of: a consulting company founded by a black woman, a black artist working at that company, a black developer, and an organization advocating for black girl gamers. Wonder what all these things have in common!!!!
like, i like all these characters as i return to them. i like their little melodramas. why do we need demogorgons. why can't they just be adjusting to how their former nerd friend joined the basketball team.
One thing I hope happens because of Elden Ring’s popularity well eclipsing the extant fandom for FromSoft is that people realize you can play any of these games any way you want
I need to go back in time to prevent mostly female Star Trek fic writers from writing the parody story about the obvious self insert character Mary Sue because weird dudes online ruined the joke
the cowboy bebop show looks fine--nothing special, nothing disastrous, a fine way to pass an afternoon or a couple evenings--but this marketing campaign is committing the sin of "reminding me of better things i could be watching"
When I think of Akira Toriyama, I think of every time I’ve been on public transportation and overheard two children talking about who Goku could beat in a fight. An enduring legacy.
Noticing a trend in the Dragon’s Dogma 2 subreddit. People who have taken their time with it are having a good time just exploring and fucking around. People who have already reached the ending have a lot of complaints. How are you playing, what do you think?
