Eh. I'm a person. Or not. Depends on who you ask.

@chucktodd I wish you cared this much about details and nuance when you were employed by NBC.

Please go away; you offer nothing of value, and you've hurt the quality of journalism by your lack of curiosity and dereliction of duty.

@sudoingX Built. And it was a bargain.

[Plain, Simple Bear @BearlyVacant]

@MotherAia No one worth taking seriously calls it "X"
The fact that years later people still have to call it "The site formerly known as twitter" tells you how convincing that rebrand was.
There is an anime called X, a band called X. Even this website still calls itself twitter.

@acvalensVT There are two *economies* within the gaming industry, but Luke isn't curious enough to even scratch that idea. JFC this broader topic is profoundly stupid.

[Plain, Simple Bear @BearlyVacant]

@acvalensVT Luke sure likes to call it an industry though. This person clearly never took MicroEconomics, Business Economics, or understands basic consumer&biz segmentation.
This article is proudly ignorant.
Games journalism just gets worse and worse.

@KnobVanDam @Steve_Perrault You seem to have your mind made up. I don't believe in "agree to disagree" but as I said, twitter is a shit forum to hash out things that require nuance.
TH and Rebecca are world-class. Lalas isn't disliked b/c he's a bad analyst; he's willfully bad at the only thing he does

[Plain, Simple Bear @BearlyVacant]

@KnobVanDam @Steve_Perrault ...and I think I'm not the best advocate here. Twitter is a terrible place to dissect things like this, which requires a bit of nuance, right? I'll agree that TH's mic needs more gain because he's not a loud guy...Lalas is god awful

@KnobVanDam @Steve_Perrault With great respect, IDK what analysis you're watching that you draw this conclusion. Lalas is given the most talk time (b/c he's USA) vs TH or ZLATAN (not Zohran, that's kinda fucked up btw). If you're new to soccer, I'd recommend CBS Champion's League show.

[Plain, Simple Bear @BearlyVacant]

@KnobVanDam @Steve_Perrault The crime here is that Lalas doesn't do his homework, and his critical analysis boils down to "put ball in net"
Never played in WC, a national cup, a national team. He's proudly ignorant, and he's paired with three talents who constantly push themselves. Lalas doesn't belong.

[Plain, Simple Bear @BearlyVacant]

@KnobVanDam @Steve_Perrault Think of a high school sophomore being proudly ignorant in front a career veteran. Lalas constantly pops off underinformed hot takes that are factually wrong. Theirry Henry is maybe the best soccer player alive. AL was 1st USA to play in Italy...and was quickly fired.

@rhiow They're in a lot of places and industries.
Despite being an orgy, they're usually pretty blah. Ppl make a much bigger deal out of them than they deserve

@JarvTGA @A_L_W_podcast FR. I'm so glad I stopped watching this, because this reveal would have been weapons-grade dog water watching it live.

@nyaraVT I'm willing to believe "not a PsyOp" because the affect & language Adm uses is right out of US NPAC and COMNAVCRUITCOM material. "Recruiter" is a specific job with specific duties, so she's not *lying.*
But there's no way she operates without approval from SECNAV. She's in-house

[Plain, Simple Bear @BearlyVacant]

@WhispurrAudio I thought it was obvious this user had USNAV approval (at minimum)
Messaging is too precise for average sailor. Goes through the rates (aka: MOS or job) like the official brochures and recruiters would.
"Recruiter" is a specific deployment; clever spin
PsyOp? Hrm. More like PR.

@BlinkBets You're a real one!

@FairyCaveStudio I'm doing my part

[Plain, Simple Bear @BearlyVacant]

@TimSweeneyEpic Whomever is in charge of your media image or running your reputation mgmt or maybe you have a press person?

Fire them. You come off as an incompetent buffoon, and in 2026, that's really setting yourself apart.

Also how are you a billionaire and EGS is so ass?

@TheMorbidHobo @Pirat_Nation When you work on a game with a legacy, you have to have access to the development logs of the prior games. SMS has all of the old notes.
Despite writing for GOWR, she had to look at the old records. So much of the game references the original series, you'd be stupid not to use it
