"Why is there all this privacy destruction?" surveillance exists to create a chilling effect: critical mass resulting in direct action typically arises from sentimental consensus. if someone controls what you can say and hear, it follows that they can decide what you believe or do.

another important part is Suda pays tribute to Tatsushi Fujita, who was an environment artist for Grasshopper as far back as killer7. It's super awesome for Suda to pay tribute not just in this message but for the release of Romeo and the new game. It reminds everyone that games are made by humans.

There really should’ve been a generation in between Gen Z and Alpha. I see posts like “Gen Z doesn’t remember THIS show!” and im like “oh they’re talking about Still in Middle School Gen Z and not Pays for Own Car Insurance Gen Z”

If you're gonna read any quote from an article on the game, let it be this one, because I think it sums up a lot of the feelings of fans pretty succintly

Oddly appropriate today eh? No matter how many online spaces come up then die, we're still here.

kinda crazy that Sega seems to be the jp company most (perhaps too) concerned with how they are perceived globally and then just puts out that shit saying 'we knowingly hired a sexual predator, him being a sexual predator got him the job'

sometimes I see what passes for art in right-wing spaces, and I kinda get why fascists are so excited for computers to take over all human expression tbh

very funny to watch a movie with a meticulous and loving 20 minute long silent film sequence that recreates many of the best special effects of the era and then come home and read this bethesda interview

Updating my priors from “I strongly suspect this Stancil stuff is some extremely online bullshit” to “I am 100% certain this Stancil stuff is some extremely online bullshit.”

She got that Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance - Battle -primordial goddess- pussy

Yep

This was literally made during Superbowl season because at BuzzFeed we had to make content about whatever was going on that week 😬

letterboxd.com/hbomberguy/f... Accidentally wrote 1300 words about Iron Lung and I can't decide if I should post about it to justify the time spent, or avoid admitting this embarrassing fact

Me, literally A MONTH AGO, talking with @kayin.moe about how she got to have dinner with moot at an event once: "Ahaha thats crazy, the internet was so small back then" Me, today, looking at our degrees of separation scores now:

"moot is in the epstein files" is the completely true sentence that has finally convinced me this is all an extremely stupid simulation and that we're all being used to power a robot overlord's game gear or something

what.

Nothing can prepare your soul for the first image ever transmitted onto a television

I've been saying in private that if the base had its way the 2028 DNC platform would be "we are going to fucking kill you" but I didn't expect anyone to actually run on it. I suspect this will be an important rhetorical experiment that guides how other candidates approach their messaging.

the actual dividing line between retro video games and current ones is simple: was it made before 9/11 if yes its retro. if no, its not, because society is for all intents and purposes still stuck in 2002

he settles it forever: "retro" refers to a specific time period which was defined in the ps3 era. the bar for what is considered "retro" does not move forward as time passes. it's comparable to "modernist" literature, the name being temporal doesn't mean it changes over time, it's just a name.

WARNING!!! shutting your parody down for having too much empathy even when trying to be mean you have overshot the mark. no commodified waifu would ever say your dicks perfect for me she will only ever imply you're so big because the target audience dont actually care about being accepted by women

you are right however i was trying to capture the cartoonish levels of condescension that emanate from every single line of dialogue i saw in the first 2 hours of endfield. a guy literally says "wow, you're such a good learner!" after you finish a tutorial

GACHA CHARACTERS WHEN YOU SELECT THEM IN A MENU: "Boss, you're saying you don't drink water, only coke zero? Wow...you're amazing..." "Good morning, Master! I love you and only you. I'm incapable of being attracted to anyone else." "Endmin, I actually think your penis size is perfect for me."

I got Disney+ to watch Andor and apparently if you view content in the browser it's limited to... 720p. Even if you pay extra for the 4K option. Can these billion dollar companies just not suck for once?

"pervert animation" does not mean "big titty bounce physics". it means whatever the gba fire emblem team was doing for critical hits

whole comic was based on these two tweets coming soon: the other comics

I am willing to extend a lot of generosity to someone who read some pundit and thought things would be okay. I'm gonna extend a lot less generosity to that pundit himself. it's pretty simple.

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming. no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

One thing the regime has failed to learn from that is a common failure of other regimes attempting state capture is that if you create significant disruption in the day-to-day lives of people, they suddenly have both a lot of free time and identifiable reasons to rebel against you.

fascinating that undying corporate cartoon intellectual property has facilitated a neverending demand for guys to do impressions of other guys impressions of the hottest comedic actors of the 1940s forever

Racists do not deserve to feel safe ✨

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

been thinking about this post all fuckin day

was watching someone stream the sacred grounds in cave story last night and ballos why you tryin not to laugh that's disrespectful as shit

i like that the premier "live life as a pokemon" sim also forces you to engage with oldschool dungeoncrawler mechanics, it weeds out the noncommited. Oh you want to wag your tail? work for it bitch. learn inventory managment

man what the fuck

I love limited voice acting!! You can get all the personality of working with a VA, but you can hack up your script constantly or shuffle things around or just keep the pace up without creating headaches. Win win!

I've put a lot of thought into exactly how much of a project I'd want voiced over, because the logistics of it are a mess but also because I think there's a certain value in saving full voices for more important scenes or lines. Definitely love to see more of that, or contribute it.

i maintain the optimal solution is the JRPG “important cutscenes are fully voiced, everything else is text with maybe some reused barks”
