Few characters have been hit as hard as Toph in the Netflix Avatar. They made her a whiney emotional PSA on blindness, who sometimes girl bosses. Somehow they forgot that she is a human lie detector & that she sees with Earth Bending, & hand wave it by saying it's vibration sight
One of the reasons I'm deeply skeptical of the anti-Israel movement is that it's a Trojan Horse for third-worldism and radical terrorism within our politics.
South of Midnight cost $100,000,000 to make and no one bought it.
You can win all the awards.
And critical acclaim.
It means nothing.
Those are fake metrics.
Did gamers buy it?
Did it generate profit?
No?
Then you failed. Simple.
Generate a return on investment or get fired.
Jason's wrong, wow.
Spoiler-
It's the consultancy firms. Localizers. Activist speakers. Sensitivity consultants.
Mo-Cap actors. Face models. Body models. Dub actors for 8 languages.
The game awards. Hollywood actors. CGI trailers.
Youtuber cameos. Corpo-press goody-bribes.
It's the hiring of multiple social media interns.
It's the presence on social media at all.
It's the purchasing of rights to popular I.P.
It's the purchasing of rights to licensed music.
It's the purchasing of rights to celebrity likenesses.
It's the constant need to produce five-hundred cosmetics for live-service games.
The constant need to maintain servers and infrastructure for live-service games.
The constant need to work on new future content for live-service games.
The constant need to moderate and police communities for live-service games.
The constant need to push out marketing and trailers for live-service games.
The constant need to maintain new content for live-service games.
I could go on forever, but this more than covers it. "Labor costs" my ass. Stop wasting your labor costs on irrelevant nonsense and get back to making great, solid video games that real people want to buy and play, and suddenly your "labor costs" aren't an issue anymore.
Woke progressives asking "what does 'woke' even mean?" is the clearest example of performative ignorance on the internet. If 90% of mainstream media was pushing conservative politics or going to church, they wouldn't be so daft about it.
Even if Bungie started development on Destiny 3 right now, it probably wouldn’t release for another 3–5 years at best. And with Bungie struggling to generate enough revenue from their current games, how exactly are they supposed to survive until then?
It's over lol
Lmfao at the idea that Hasan Piker just wants “equal rights for Palestinians”
After October 7 he refused to condemn killing infant Israeli civilians on the grounds that babies could be “settlers”
Actual Malcolm in the Middle, the real show, not this horrific reanimated corpse, would have used the "nonbinary" kid as the butt of jokes.
Lois dreamed about having girls. There is no fucking way she'd have one and immediately be cool with her being a they/them.
Mia Khalifa said she wanted Hamas to flip their phones horizontal so she could get better quality footage of the October 7th massacres of innocent people. Now that her team is losing the war they started, she appeals to humanity. Fuck off
