ACCUSATION – A few content partners alleged a misogynistic work atmosphere by Channel Awesome.

FACT – Channel Awesome’s current and former female staff, including Tamara Chambers, Rachel Tietz, Aiyanna Wade, and Heather Reusz, have had vastly different experiences than the ones described. We are always trying to improve ourselves both personally and professionally and moving forward we will implement mandatory sensitivity training for all staff to ensure we maintain a culture of respect for all employees.

"You just smeared poo poo on my desk."

"Nu-uh, ask those girls I didn't put poo poo on their desks."

Edit:

ACCUSATION – Allison Pregler states “not a single person wasn’t miserable.”

FACT – In this video, you’ll find that Allison says that it “was a great production to be a part of. It was a lot of fun to be a part of this and Suburban Knights.”

Did Mike and the others think this was going to be like some sort of smoking gun they found to put the dissent to rest? Like "But you said everything was fine here in this video from years ago. NO TAKE-BACKSIES."

The fact that one of the claims they were incensed about enough to outright deny (lie?) was the one about who owns the NC IP is very telling.

Like ignore some claims like the one about no catering on the set or address other claims by trying to deflect accusations by bringing up other people's experiences but trying to dilute and defame the NC IP? They just can't let that slide.

LGR talking about the Seasons expansion for Sims 4

I might get this just for the Simlish covers of pop songs.

It seems like with Seasons that The Sims 4 is finally at a point where it can stand by itself as a competent entry alongside the other three.

Which is why it's super understandable at the end of the review when he says there's rumors of a few more years of Sims 4 expansions coming because I feel like going into a potential Sims 5 and starting all over again would be the worst idea possible.

The Sims seems like a series that would benefit from not trying to make a numbered entry start over from scratch(?) every time which means things like seasons and vampires and poo poo that's already available to put in your Sims 3 game will take anywhere from one to almost four years to appear in 4.

So there's really no new Doug Walker news here that I got but it is Doug related?

Like I go to one specific nerd convention a year and he's been a guest here for like at least a half-decade if not more. A few months ago I assumed after there was no update on any of their social media about whether or not they were dropping him as the perennial "Guest of Honor" concerning the whole #Changethechannel that he was probably still showing up. And I was right I guess the deal was already done a while ago before all of that hit and they couldn't do anything.

But it gets worse because the awkwardness of it all extends beyond just Doug being there as a guest of honor. It extends all the way to the loving badges.

I picked up my badge today and he's right loving there on the badge looking miserable at a bar drinking. All the badges, every badge has this sour puss on them.

(Here's a tweet that has the best image quality of the badge I could find.)

As far as I know Nintendo showed that Toadette putting on a crown turned her into Peachette, so the internet took this a sign to take any mario related entity, put a crown on them, and it turns them into a chick with gigantic honking tits with -ette added to the end of their name.

It was, at the start just a standard feature that you could read into as, "Yeah we're not adding playable Peach because we ain't changing the ssstory she still has to get kidnapped but here's a way to play as 'A Peach' so there's no consequences."

But there were consequences, and this was the consequence.

So if you said there would be consequences for them trying to rear end-pull a way to make Peach semi-playable while still keeping with the status quo with the real Peach as the damsel in distress congratulations because you were in a sense right.

It feels like Rowling was bit by Lucas during a full moon and despite her best intentions somehow creates retcons that would have made George blush.

And if she doesn't get the bite treated it's going to get worse until we find out in the final Fantastic Beasts movie that everything that transpires in the original series was set into motion by a time-traveling, mind-reading Fang, the true Fantastic Beast.

I'm not sure a bunch of random tweets amount to full on retcons. Unless she actually goes back and rewrites the books she's not doing anymore damage than any given fan fiction writer ever has. (and BOY did they try!)

I'm talking more about what she's adding with these new movies, which don't happen within the world of the books or maybe they do?

Or maybe only some parts will? Like for instance what the ending in the newest FB movie insinuates that there were actually four Dumbledore siblings this whole time.

The fact that one of the big enemies is (seemingly, I haven't seen any in-depth model skeleton comparisons it just looks so got-drat the same) a reskinned Skyrim dragon is just...

It's not bad, that they reused something like that games reuse assets all the time hell most if not all entertainment and artistic mediums reuse things from their own previous works whether intentional or not.

Demonetized on account of Other Joe's boxer shorts.

I really would like to see someone do a deep dive comparison on the makeup of the Scorched Beasts to the Skyrim Dragons to see just how accurate it is when we say that they literally dropped Skyrim Dragons into the Wasteland.

Because like I've said elsewhere it's not a bad thing in theory that they would take an already existing asset from a previous work and put it into a new product. Pretty much every creative medium in history does that. But 76 is such a toxic product and the discourse around it is so acidic that it unintentionally becomes something to lambast by association I guess. Like if this were just a piece of wacky Fallout 4 DLC hunting Americana Cryptids and the payoff was "Holy poo poo it's like a dragon from Skyrim, the Madmen did it." the response would probably have been more positive.

i sorta agree with his opinion on we happy few though i am less harsh on it i guess. like its by no means perfect but after a ton of patches it was playable. its more of weird oddity then awful poo poo game. the biggest issue i have with the game is that its trying to be to many things for to many people.

I loving FORGOT We Happy Few came out this year that's how long a year it's been. And it makes even less sense because the game came out in August and that was like less than half a year ago. I guess we just went from one video game disaster set piece to another and WHF barely had time to linger around the mindpace.
