'Overwatch' director Jeff Kaplan on what broke him and made him leave Blizzard:
• Blizzard began focusing too much on 'let's make lots of money really fast' and set hefty revenue goals
• He says he was told if the game didn’t hit the benchmarks, 'we're gonna lay off 1,000 people and that's gonna be on you'
"It was the biggest 'fuck you' moment I've had in my career ... I believed I would never work anywhere besides Blizzard ... and I was like 'we're done here'"
"I wish developers would understand their own value more and stop handing the golden goose to people who don't deserve it"

BREAKING: Moments ago at the White House this took place.
A bunch of old people praying for a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, who appears to have just blown up 100+ Iranian schoolchildren, while he hides the Epstein files, in which he appears in thousands of times.
We are a joke.

Ok hear me out.
Showing this, combined with failing the bar, is all part of a plan. The Kardashians are masters at this. My money is on her using this to set the stage for getting a NeuroLink, telling everyone how much better she is, and then immediately passing the bar to “prove” it works.
• A swastika is a hate symbol
• It’s still Twitter
• MAGA is a terrorist group
• Vaccines do NOT cause autism
• It’s still the Gulf of Mexico
• ICE is just KKK in a new uniform
• It’s still the Department of Defense
• Donald Trump is a pedophile
And now, the reality:
- Cambodia and Thailand: it was a border conflict that ended thanks to mediation by Malaysia. All Trump did was a phone call threatening tariffs.
- Kosovo and Serbia: there was no war
- DRC and Rwanda: war did not end, violence continues
- Pakistan and India: India is adamant there was no US mediation
- Israel and Iran: the US was literally a belligerent (remember the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities?)
- Egypt and Ethiopia: there was no war
- Armenia and Azerbaijan: the "peace deal" hasn't actually been signed
- Israel and Hamas: beyond obscene for the US to take credit for ending a genocide it was the key enabler of
after the Sly Cooper trilogy, the inFamous games and now both Ghost of Tsushima and Ghost of Yotei, I think it's time we recognize Nate Fox as one of the best creative leads in the industry.
dude has dropped nothing but BANGERS 🔥🔥🔥
In the past 24 hours, Pope Leo has said:
— being pro-life means more than just opposing abortion
— Donald Trump’s treatment of migrants is inhumane
— Pete Hegseth sounds like a reckless warmonger
— climate change is the defining moral issue of our time
He also blessed ice.
