Basketball is like the one sport I don’t follow in any capacity because I grew up in Pittsburgh (no NBA team), I’m 5’9”, and my dad is English. That said, I kinda hope the Knicks lose tonight because of what the city would do to him.

Don Draper drunkenly leaving work at noon and wandering into a Magic the Gathering tourney in a cafe, lighting a cigarette and whispering to some guy in shorts asking what’s happening.

On one side, you have a seasoned journalist with decades of credibility and colleagues who can speak to his integrity, on the other, you have a lifelong bullshit artist who has failed upward by flattering the powerful. I just don’t know who to believe.

They made two (2) Halos without Master Chief and they absolutely whipped.

Le problème n’est pas « jouer une femme ». Le problème est le pattern qui est devenu impossible à ignorer ces dix dernières années dans le AAA.

God of War, c’est Kratos. C’est un guerrier spartiate brisé, un anti-héros masculin brut, violent, tragique. Changer le protagoniste principal pour sa femme dans une nouvelle itération, c’est comme faire un nouveau Halo sans Master Chief ou un nouveau Doom sans le Doomguy. Ce n’est plus la même promesse.

On a vu le même schéma partout :
•Assassins Creed passe de Ezio/Alexios à des protagonistes féminines systématiques.
•Battlefield et d’autres licences « diversifient » en remplaçant.
•Star Wars, Marvel, etc. : les hommes sont souvent relégués ou ridiculisés.

Ce n’est pas de la paranoïa. C’est un constat. Et très souvent, ces changements s’accompagnent d’une écriture plus faible, de personnages qui servent d’abord un message plutôt qu’une histoire.
Les joueurs n’ont jamais eu de problème avec les femmes fortes bien écrites (Lara Croft, Samus, 2B, Aloy dans Horizon 1, etc.). Le ras-le-bol vient quand on sent que le genre est devenu un critère de casting prioritaire sur la qualité du personnage et le respect de l’ADN de la licence.

Dire « mais on jouait un hérisson bleu ! » c’est de la mauvaise foi. Sonic n’était pas un héros humain dans une saga ultra-narrative centrée sur la masculinité toxique et la rédemption. God of War, si.

Le vrai problème n’est pas le sexe du protagoniste.
C’est qu’une partie de l’industrie a décidé que l’identité comptait plus que l’histoire, que le message comptait plus que le fun, et que les fans historiques pouvaient aller se faire voir s’ils n’étaient pas contents.
On ne demande pas que tous les jeux aient des mecs baraqués.
On demande juste qu’on arrête de transformer des licences cultes en outils de signalement vertueux.
Si le jeu est excellent, les gens l’achèteront.
Si c’est encore un produit « inclusif » avant d’être un bon jeu… on sait déjà comment ça finit.

I consider this an argument against wealth being corrupting, an evil soul would have used the wealth create a startup company that makes a mass surveillance tool, or perhaps became a pedophile. The soul of the municipal worker burns through the wealth like your body does the flu

Runner’s World asked Zohran Mamdani some questions about his experience running the NYC Marathon.

Was not expecting him to say he ripped a cigarette mid-race.

My dad had this in 80s and quit because he was bored and my brother and I talk all the time about how much happier and wealthier he’d have been if he’d just stayed there.

a 9-5 corporate job that pays $400K a year is like hitting the cosmic lottery. you have a higher quality of life than almost everyone that has ever lived in the history of the planet earth

I met a friend of my father’s after he died who told me a story about a time they worked as waiters in Columbia, SC and staffed an event Strom Thurmond was hosting and the Black kitchen staff took turns pissing in the food.

[Darren Mooney @Darren_Mooney]

Um. No.

Tony Gilroy was, by his own admission, a “Star Wars” novice, and he ended up running circles around the guy who showran “Clone Wars” and “Rebels.”

One fun thing I’ve started doing whenever my wife asks me a question is immediately respond with, “Counting or not counting gang violence?”
