it’s only miserable if the developer doesn’t care about mkb.
- Comment on Ubisoft's Board is Launching an Investigation Into The Company Struggles 15 hours ago:
after careful consideration of the management decisions that brought us here, we concluded that 1600 layoffs of low level employees is the solution. those who stay will crunch harder for the same pay to make up for any lost labor.

- Comment on Ubisoft Cancels Press Previews of Assassin's Creed Shadows 3 days ago:
oh. going through their profile certainly suggests that way. it’s weird to call that “diverse IP”… but weird is pretty on brand for that crowd i guess.
- Comment on Ubisoft Cancels Press Previews of Assassin's Creed Shadows 3 days ago:
what do you mean by diverse IP? Ubisoft has notoriously done the exact opposite by eliminating every distinguishing characteristic of their games and converging all of their designs into assassin’s creed with another name. Ubisoft has one of the least diverse portfolio of any AAA company, and that’s saying something.
the only good (and diverse) things that come out of Ubisoft have been from a small team inside that somehow missed all the rituals to sell their souls to Asmodeus so they keep making bangers like Rayman and the recent Prince metroidvania.

- Comment on Anon wants to stop the mad painter 4 days ago:
in real life things don’t have to be programmed for you to be able to interact with them. in games they do. and must things will be non interactive set dressing. the reason old games didn’t need this is because they only had environment + interactive things. no decoration. “realistic” games today couldn’t get away with empty buildings and rooms with no objects except health packs and ammo.
- Comment on Anon wants to stop the mad painter 4 days ago:
yeah you either yellow paint things i can climb or fucking let me climb everything that looks climbable a la Assassin’s Creed.

are you arguing with Nazis about how logical their racism is

i think saying internetism is a reason for apology
- Comment on We lost Keanu 4 days ago:
fantasy is an integral part of Nazi ideology. it’s not like it has any scientific balls basis. it uses mythical origins to reinforce the fantasy of the superior aryan race. notice how even Nazis today are ogbsessed with Vikings, ancient Greece and Rome.
whiteness isn’t a real thing; it’s based on exclusion, ie defined by what it’s not. so they have these disparate cultures romanticized and idealized in order to fake a shared history and culture.

can’t wait for the miniminuteman video.
- Comment on We lost Keanu 5 days ago:
also note that Atlantis is part of the origin myth for nazis. so this usually is just code for “the white master race taught the brown and black savages how to do civilization”, either conscious or not.

sorry i don’t think so. she doesn’t really like change. she’s very uptight and particular about things in a way that… i don’t know. i wish there was a word for it.

- Comment on Inadmissible 1 week ago:
that’s another thing, and partly why cross examination is a thing, but eyewitness testimony is not inadmissible. in fact many trials have relied on a single eyewitness testimony, and whether the jury believes the witness or not.
- Comment on Inadmissible 1 week ago:
it clearly is, and that’s not why hearsay is inadmissible anyway.
it’s inadmissible because it can’t be cross examined.

they haven’t specified much so i don’t know. but palworld steals very liberally.
- Comment on Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are suing the Palworld developers for "infringement of patent rights" 1 week ago:
it’s not the concept dude; you can’t copyright that (though you can patent very vague shit apparently, don’t get me started). their creatures look extremely similar.
- Comment on ‘The Crow’ remake ends its theater run. how much did it make? 1 week ago:
they should hire me as consultant for videogame movies so i can nip it in the bud. apparently I would have been the only one going “hey that game has no story and whatever approximation of one that it did have didn’t go anywhere and had no conclusion, maybe that won’t make the best movie”
- Comment on Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are suing the Palworld developers for "infringement of patent rights" 1 week ago:
i mean the game is over of the most high profile blatant knockoffs I’ve ever seen. I believe legal evidential reasoning is “res ipsa loquitur” which is Latin for “look at this fucking thing”
