When someone says "sorry I don't have time" and then proceeds to spend an entire evening playing video games. They're not lying because that's literally what they're dedicating their time to.

xiv has such a good localization that i often forget it's not written in english originally
controversial take over⚠️⚠️⚠️

Mao proved that recently-illiterate preindustrial Chinese peasants could understand and successfully parse Marxist theory in the 30s-50s, why are you pretending that literate postmodern ppl won’t be able to get it? ridiculous stuff here

I hate to my negative about content here but this is an actual industry plant. It’s ok to like this sort of game, but how it’s presenting itself hurts actual indie games.

- real licensed music
- massive array of custom assets and cutscenes, fully voiced too
- insanely pricey press kits sent out to small and big CCs
- presents itself as “indie”.

This is not “indie”. This is a refined product that was made for millions. Most likely a medium sized team of 12-30 full time for years. This kind of low hanging fruit stealing + indie labeling hurts actual small dedicated teams of real game devs. There will be actual indie devs that miss out on awards this season because of this extremely well funded AA title masquerading as an indie.

Mixtape is art because it has cool colors and sad music and fits my aesthetic stereotype of what "art" is. Metal Gear Solid 2 is not art because it has guns and explosions.

Buddhism gets such incredible PR you’d almost forget it’s also been used by the ruling class in countries like Sri Lanka and Myanmar to discriminate and even commit genocide against religious minorities

I would rather starve to death than work for the company that made the rocket that killed this child, and I don’t understand anybody who doesn’t feel the same way

[Jason @envinyon]

you don't see me going into WoW discourse and being like "why can't y'all have an artstyle that doesn't look fucking ugly" I just accept that the game ain't for me and go about my life, I don't need everything to appeal to me

[Jay J 🇵🇸🔻 @TelFromHell]

@GVMERGG @quidama_ It’s reversed here, most raiders have put the time in on the story and look forward to it actively and some of the best raiders I’ve met are also roleplayers and lore hounds. The worst raiders I’ve ever met are arrogant WoW migrants who never learn anything before doing endgame.

@saint_cloudy Right like nobody judges if people cry at a holocaust museum. Why wouldn’t people cry at an african American history museum after learning how black people were treated too?

[(• ˕ •マ.ᐟ ★ @Y40IFRQTTING]

Westerners don't understand that China also has labour relations, strikes, and massive protests. Any industrial capitalist society is bound to encounter these. The idea that this stuff is unique to Europe and don't happen in Asia is plainly racism.

[Gwen ☕ @GwenpostingTTV]

What a lot of people miss from Titanfall 2 is a time when FPS games were understood as war games. The TTK against pilots in this game was very quick. Quick burst and move on. It made the movement feel knife edge and rewarding. Then Apex came out and made it slow and clunky.

[Axel Folio, PhD, White Tears Distiller 🪁 @ISASaxonists]

Notre Dame roof on fire = global emergency. Western art historians wrote essays abt "civilizational loss." Billionaires rushed to donate.

When US/IS bombs fall on a cradle of millennia of art, suddenly the art world has no wi-fi. Whose heritage matters?

[Elsie @Meelsie143]

ngl this actually makes me mad in a way people making fun of american stuff usually doesn’t because multiculturalism is the one thing this country did right

[Jay J 🇵🇸🔻 @TelFromHell]

@obloquar Oh you bet, this will be a generational hate watch for us lmao

[the thicc husband & father @lukeisamazing]

the Minneapolis response to ICE is absolutely devastating to the snug Canadian psyche. Americans are fighting and dying in the streets while they tsk tsk from across the border and talk about voting. the ppl of Minneapolis have stood up to America more than Canada has in 80 years

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Every single person in Africa and India needs to see this video on their feed. Russians flood these countries with propaganda to convince them to move to ‘beautiful’ russia and this is the reality. Sent to death.

[Eleanor Red @TheRedGoner]

The setting of Disco Elysium originated from the dev's TTRPG sessions, and was first published in a book which is still nowhere near as popular as the game... almost as if the RPG mechanics are, not just fundamental, but elevating to the work.
