none of this would be happening if they still made licensed games based on every movie that came out

TLOU2 wouldn't be able to be the schindler's list of video games because you would've already played schindler's list back on the PS3 (now being remastered with blue dress DLC)

"Leisure Suit Larry is basically gaming’s Citizen Kane, in every sense except that creator Al Lowe was never reduced to shilling for frozen peas to pay the bills. […]  Sure, on the surface it seems to be a series about a 40 year old virgin trying to get laid, and its equivalent of the Rosebud scene is probably a really cheap joke about boobies. Even so, the parallels are nigh perfect."

TLOU2 is in good company...

I wouldn’t say that’s racist. Probably worth a ban for being a transhuman level of joke though.

Jason is a great journalist but his head is getting too big.

Yeah it's weird that he made it into "an actual media outlet" and starting to pull decent money out of it (maybe I read wrong but he said he was earning 100k or so at Kotaku by the end ?), presumably for his serious writing and work but getting into feuds with studio honchos about some tweet by a third party or going to ERA to defend his honour about a bad joke involving Jordan and BLM (?) he made 10 days ago.

I get that it's probably hard to turn off your (online) personality all of a sudden. I suppose Bloomberg is aware of that side on some level and brought him in despite (because of ?) it, being some personality may be part of the job now. But I'm really puzzled at what's being gained by him being an abrasive, thin-skinned shitposter wrt his supposed strength as an "investigation reporter".

Is it time to revisit Marx's legacy because of his antisemitic views?
https://www.resetera.com/threads/is-it-time-to-revisit-marxs-legacy-because-of-his-antisemitic-views.225694/

I didn't know we were viewing Marx in a positive light before this

Were we having a good opinion of Marx before now?

Marx is a Jew, and neoliberals on ResetERA are trying to cancel him because he's just as bad as a Confederate soldier in their eyes.

They've been doing this forever.

[Don Rumata]

I thought about this because we have plenty of Marx's statues here in Europe.

Well on the topic of having REE approved statues, Italy is ahead of the curve.
Now we only need to tear down Michelangelo's, Bernini's and so forth, since they tend to depict pretty problematic stuff, and switch them up with the Avengers destroying Thanos, Yoda training Rey and Steven Universe taking a dump.

I was unaware of him beyond his work on MST3K and RiffTrax. Watching the MST3K Turkey Day Marathon with our family has been something my oldest son always looked forward to on Thanksgiving. This taints so many good memories for me and I'm beside myself.

Godddamit Mike. I really liked him on MST3K (Joel is still better though) so this shit really hurts to hear. What the hell possibly do people see in being shitty like this?

It sounds like Mike Nelson wasn't really present for most of this, but even in that case he probably still has a lot to answer for.

Fuck.

I started watching MST3K during the Mike era before working my way to Joel. I loved Mike's dry sarcastic comments, I became a big supporter of RiffTrax as well. I made my parents scour the country for showings of the MST3K Movie when it came out. I was in the fanclub when I was a kid. When my t-shirt wore out, I stitched it into my hoodie.

I had heard that Mike was a republican and Bill Corbett was pretty far to the left, but just kind of shrugged it off as whatever. They were friends and it didn't effect me. But that was a different time and he's apparently the type that whines about the protest, the ineffectiveness of Covid masks...

Reading some comments that Mike doesn't use f*g like Doug does and it's a flimsy defense. Apparently Mike's big conservative issue that he loves to bring up is fucking abortion?! Is Mike religious?? You know what, I really don't care. Mike hanging with Doug TenNapel and sharing a podcast with him is enough for me. Fuck anyone that would endorse or co-sign that dude.

I don't know what I'm saying. I'm devastated. Scrapping my RiffTrax stuff and shelving my Mike MST3K dvds for a while.

As Karens come out in the wild IRL, lets figure out the names/types of Karens in the video game industry, using Video Game nomenclature.

For example:

1) Entitled Video Gamer - The Karen that wants her games on time. No Delays or preorders cancelled.
2) The Port beggar - Karen who is an expert on cultures, and knows honor and shame are huge parts of it.
3) Consolewars clown - They special Karen that will occasionally appear with her ‘Make Rare Great Again’ hat, followed by a rant.
4) Metacritic hoarder - The Karen who will remind you which game has 96 or 97 Metacritic as if that matters.

Women are boring as shit that's why.

Eats shoots and leaves...

Why do men like video games way more than women?

Well video games are endlessly repayable, they don't tell you not to play with them - in fact they usually want to be played with.

Video games don't care if you forget the first time you played them, or if you played other games when you got bored but came back for another try...

And after you've got a video game they don't keep taking money or threaten to deinstall themselves if you don't play them enough.

That's why men like video games way more than women... except the money part because DLC is also hanging on my paycheck every month.

Why do women wear makeup and perfume? Because they're ugly and they stink

Why do more men play video games? Because we have great tastes and we're brilliant

Glad I could end the debate

One of her most annoying traits (of which she has many) is that she never says anything about the shit going on in Canada.  There's plenty of racism, especially towards native/indigenous people.  And if you go outside of a few big cities like Toronto and Vancouver, homo/transphobia is very visible.  There is also a huge amount of poverty.  Sure, Canada does some things better than the US, but to pretend it's some utopia is incredibly stupid and short-sighted, but incelchief is somoene in their 30s that stocks shelves for a living to fund their wrestling and comic book habits and posts 50-100 times a day on a "video game" website.

This doesn’t appear to be a case of unlawful action by the officers involved or a racial issue. When you resist arrest, assault a police officer, take his taser, then aim it back at him, you can expect to be shot.

If the officer didn’t defend himself, he could be incapacitated, have his sidearm taken from him, etc. The officers had an obligation to prevent that from happening, and had an obligation to pursue him since the suspect had taken the taser (which could be used on a civilian).

Imagine what his response would have been if this had happened 4 years ago.
