Oh god, please don’t make me talk about myself.
Work still sucks, haven’t found another job, but we’re supposedly getting acquired by a larger company and that’s going to trigger a restricted stock unit payout. I’ve been here for a while so maybe I’ll get a nice chunk of change out of this debacle before I get fired.
I actually really like the SNES game, it is objectively not great though. You can’t even save, so emulation is a must unless you can dedicate an 8-10 hour sitting to it.
Particularly that it switches between top-down outdoors and a pseudo-FPS indoors, and the claustrophobic interiors and darker music give it a lot of charm.
I do nice things for other people when I’m up to it, but I hesitate to call myself a ‘nice person’ because niceness isn’t necessarily an intrinsic quality, in the same way that I can be a transient dumbass at times without thinking of myself as an idiot.
Respecting the LGBTQ+ community.
Yeah, it’s incredible how the ‘seethe and cope’ crew never get called out on being shit-stirrers and directly attacking liberals, but the minute you make a joke about convicted felon Donald Trump, all of a sudden cries for ‘unity’ and ‘civility’ come out of the woodwork.
Almost like they’re massive hypocrites who never gave a flying fuck about unity and use crocodile tears and both sides-ism to avoid accountability for the things they say and do.
What fucking red line?
I bought a Blahaj the other week and my god it is so soft. I’ve been cuddling with it every night since.
Sounds like the company needs to increase its bus factor. Luckily, I can help the company by not doing any of this nonsense, to pressure execs into hiring more staff so that the team is robust enough to weather a catastrophe.
You wouldn’t shutter a studio that produced a critically acclaimed game and then tell your remaining employees they need to make more games like that one.
“I’m especially good at defenestrating!”
After the Helldivers fiasco, I think it’s time to raise the plank and hoist the sails, Yarr.
Fuck around and make somebody else find out, chapter five billion.
Hell yeah! Hope the journey is a good one!
Fucking ghoulish.
JFC. Imagine saying ‘Strike One’ out loud in person if you’re on a date or something. Someone does that to me, the date is over. I don’t have a lot of self-respect, but I have enough not to tolerate that bullshit.
And they’re probably carving themselves a nice bonus out of the tax write-off for the studio closure.
I mean, let’s not forget that the early consoles had their own pitfalls, a period of gaming that spawned tropes like ‘Nintendo Hard’ and ‘Guide Dang It’ in order to, among other things, pad out the length of what we would consider an otherwise barebones game, and to sell time on their hints and tips hotline. I do feel like there was less bullshit in the past, but it definitely still existed.
That’s the joke. It’s (sarcastically) portraying Bezos as the one getting the raw end of the deal.
