Remembering how that one girl found out how to hack together a way to "play" as an Octoling in the first Splatoon, but because of how the online plaza worked if her modded character showed up in your plaza randomly it could lock up your game, crash the system, gently caress the whole console.

What I'm saying is Animal Crossing needs more anti-cheat. Now more than ever.

That former Kotaku writer who won an award for reporting on the bad conditions at Riot Games turned out to be a fuckin' racist.

From here:

https://twitter.com/xoxogossipgita/status/1267924622969835520

quote:

listen i'm sorry, cecilia d'anastasio doesn't get to say she's an ally to people of color. the first day she met me she told me she knew more about indian food because she went to india once, and her racism never improved.

what do you say when a writer who has told you to your face that she needs to tell me to stop talking when she's on deadline. i was, at the time, the only black employee. anyway she did that too.

what do you say when you're told to work on a project together, about black people, and she tells you that you'll get a reporting credit and then she completely just writes it on her own and you DON'T get that credit? she did that too.

what do you say when a white writer asks you to explain black slang in front of all your white colleagues? also her.

don't say listen to people of color and then prevent me from writing about an instance of racism from a streamer because you're doing a feature interview with them, and then not mention it in your draft at all. you clearly don't care to listen.

'nother story about her:

and people in japan are much more amenable to paying for credits for home games than we would be here, the home version of sound voltex costs the same as if you went to an arcade I think, so presumably someone out there would be interested in renting time at a game center over the internet to play whatever the current sega arcade games are like uh pengo online??

Last year I was cheering someone on as they went on a Bear Walk before E3 in order to hopefully spot a bear in order to get good vibes and Banjo E3 announcements.

Today I didn't see a bear. No bear.

But in my backyard today I saw...a bobccat. A big ol' black bobcat just chilling in the woods behind the house.

Guys. Guys.

Wait so like is the reason they didn't announce the price of the console is because they still wanna draw out this cat and mouse game with Microsoft over who announces the price of their console first as long as possible? Then the person who goes second can price their one lower?

it may also be because we're literally still in the middle of a pandemic and they don't know what production capability will look like 3 weeks from now.

I mean I remember thinking that what you're saying was going to cause both of 'em to come out at some point in the last seven or weeks to say that they were delaying next-gen until 2021 but then like a month ago both of 'em were pretty optimistic about this year and definitely launching before the end of December.

Sony pricing theirs lower isn't dependent upon them going second.

No but it would make for a good moment. Sometimes it feels like they wanted another "Used games on our console? Sure!" moment like the one at E3 2013 that got them a poo poo load of kudos.

Extremely disappointed there was no Knack 3 announcement. Hopefully in development but it will be so amazing that Sony wont be done with it until near the end of the PS5 life span.

At this point I think there's more people who (un)ironically like Knack as a character more than people who would call themselves a fan of the Sackboy/Sackgirl character. Huge Sackperson fans. Huge, huge sack fans. Sackies they call them.

Was looking up info on everybody's second (after Raiden) favorite playable-main character switcheroo The Arbiter and I never realized this about him:

quote:

Thel commanded multiple fleets during his service in the Covenant, most notably the Fleet of Particular Justice, of which he was Supreme Commander. This fleet mounted a successful attack on the human colony of Reach under his command and later fought the crew of the UNSC Pillar of Autumn on Installation 04, the first Halo ring to be discovered by the Covenant and humanity. 'Vadamee was responsible for over one billion human casualties over the course of the decades-long war against the humans and the glassing of at least seven colonies.

That's a hell of a K/D ratio.

Oh no, I get that. I'm with you on that and how maybe the culture that's grown within the past decade over having an entire game available to watch either day of or even before release maybe isn't always the best for some games. Certain games. Not all but, a few.

But that culture is too far entrenched now, there's no going back to to a time before it.

Like, remember when it was a agreed upon rule within communities at the time that you should wait three months until after release of a game before you Let's Play it? Especially games where the story was the main meat of the game?

Okay this has been driving me crazy and I'm beginning to think that I might have imagined it. Was there ever a game where the main character was on a boat or something escorting a prisoner and at the very beginning there was a timer to disarm a bomb or something like that? Depending on whether or not you did the task before the timer ran out you got a completely different game with a completely different story.
