@JamesGunn You ruined Green Lantern just like you ruined Superman. Stop making DC movies so we can start over again in 5 years with something actually good.
The Cleveland Indians are in the playoffs so the wokesters are out in force to let us all know how virtuous they are and how much they love the name Guardians. They can't wrap their minds around the fact our history was taken for an idiotic political trend. #Windians
I was reminded by a YouTube comment that 10 years ago today I left ScrewAttack to launch Game Attack.
Game Attack was kicked ass for about three and a half years... then came the "Summer of Love" of 2020. While all that nonsense was happening, I did a podcast with the guys I worked with and said I'd keep treating people the same way I always had - fairly, like a normal person.
After the podcast I got told "that wasn't good enough". I needed to "do better." Specifically by a group of 20-something college-age white girls who were very upset with me.
My business partner at the time sided with them. He told me I had to apologize to the audience because "they paid our bills." I said I wasn't apologizing for something I didn't do wrong. That was the effective end of the partnership.
One thing that always stuck in the back of my mind: I once told him I thought I had a good relationship with normal people because I was basically a normal guy. He said, "Are you fucking kidding me? You can't relate AT ALL to normal people."
Turns out his idea of "normal" is what we now consider woke. Mine, needless to say, is not. The irony about the split is that we NEVER discussed politics once prior to the Summer of 2020. All it took was a couple college aged privileged white girls with white guilt to break up something really great.
After I left, my former business partner rebranded Game Attack because he didn't want any association with me - even though I was long gone. Their audience shrank because they leaned all the way into "woke garbage" - a phrase they affectionately put on a t-shirt - and they've continued a downward trajectory. It is what it is.
Side Scrollers, on the other hand, reaches millions of REAL normal people on a month to month basis. That's validating because it turns out I am indeed just a normal guy.
Thank you to the commenter who reminded me of the 10-year mark. Leaving ScrewAttack and starting Game Attack was a big moment but it pales in comparison to what we're doing with @SideScrollers now.
I don't really care if a cardback is pay walled, let the whales whale, but having an achievement locked behind massive payments doesn't sit right with me as an achievement hunter.
@Rio_dege@bernie_ple28263 We were season tix holders for years. Cancelled when they changed the name. Several thousands others did as well, that we know for a fact.
Ever notice how they don’t publish the season tix holder numbers anymore? Weird huh?
Instead they practically give away tix each night now
