- Comment on GTA 6's delay doesn't mean the games industry's in trouble - it's already dead 2 days ago:
Aren’t delays to video games good though? Less crunch and hopefully fewer bugs.
Maybe. Maybe they just haven’t done enough crunch yet so they need some extra bonus crunch.

I agree with you but it does cut both ways. Anonymity empowers assholes, too.

I have heard that the incidence of suicide is higher in deaf people then in blind people, which would suggest that, while our senses are sight dominated, losing our hearing has a bigger impact in some way. That said I can’t find a citation for that, so make of it what you will.

Dan Erickson has said that he knows how it ends and has a specific scene in mind. But they don’t know exactly how they’re going to get there.

It’s what Brits call them.
- Comment on Anon worries about Kojima 2 months ago:
Well I disagree to some extent, though I see where you’re coming from. MGS was good, I enjoyed all of the games in the series. They definitely weren’t perfect though and I did sometimes wonder if they were good because of him or in spite of him. The Kojimaness could get a bit much at times.

Wasn’t he only involved with Silent Hills? Which was cancelled?

- Comment on What makes a video game triple A (AAA)? 4 months ago:
A is short for Aaaaagh. The number of As represents the amount of crunch and exploitation that goes into making a game.
- Comment on Why does the Music Industry allow Spotify/Apple to profit off of them? 4 months ago:
For anyone reading this who’s put off by the prices, I ditched Spotify and started exclusively buying music on Bandcamp. Apart from an initial splurge, I’ve ended up paying less for music each month. And I own that music permanently. And they got paid more. YMMV of course especially if you’re somebody who doesn’t relisten much, but seeing an album on Bandcamp that costs as much as a month’s Spotify subscription shouldn’t put you off.
