Pretty crazy that like a dozen different congressmen all simultaneously admitted that they watch enough twitch to have an (clearly very poorly) informed opinion on one streamer. This must be really important! Probably one of the most important issues facing the nation!

Can you imagine how boring it would be if the Spurs won? They'd be on TV talking about mental toughness and competitive spirit. Instead we got Mikal hammered drunk talking about sex bans and OG so baked that he said "type shi-" on Good Morning America. We are so blessed

People are afraid that Nintendo will send Seal Team 6 after them for logging onto Vimm's Lair. We are terrified of a company that hasn't made a new video game in 11 years

I don't think there's any job more shameful and undignified than being one of the weird-looking guys who is friends with Mr Beast that is always looking over people's shoulders and going 😮 All of those guys look genetically inferior and I assume they are made to sleep in boxes

Really satisfying to see so much backlash against Mr. Wonderful, who has always been a an insufferable narcissus who turns into a full-blown creature the moment someone offers him anything but blind praise

I will always be dazzled by sports fans. So many people log hundreds of hours a year watching games and thousands listening to/reading analysis, only to hop onto social media where they can barely form a sentence or observe the basic aspects of what's happening. Just the dumbest ppl I've ever seen

The worst reality tv show ever made has a funnier, more insightful fandom than NFL football. Even the Gooniverse is decidedly more literate. No one can compete. Some of these people vote! They can drive a car and own a gun!

Wowee, the trailer for that new movie about a video game a lot of us have played for decades sure looks like cheap slop full of nothing but obvious gags and superficial fan service. Tbf idk how you'd make a compelling film out of a game either, but maybe that's the hint that you shouldn't bother!

Epic had a game that was absolutely printing money, and instead of choosing to sustain themselves, they violently expanded in every direction, burning through seed money and speculation, just like every other completely doomed capital venture. I am begging for even a single company to be normal

Epic Games is giving laid-off staff at least four months of severance, which is significantly above average for a US company. During normal times, that'd be a healthy cushion. But in this climate for the video-game industry it can take *at least* a year for someone to find full-time work

As much as it's a great game that I love, it's so weird to see grown adults sweating and gloating over Fire Red and Leaf Green, a game that anyone can beat if you just keep pressing the A button long enough

The article briefly mentions it, but personally I don't care what Lud's status was. Every post about his situation has wriggling weirdos underneath asking about it & I reject the xenophobic premise of their question. Immigrants are a positive good and Lud should be celebrated, safe, & protected

After fighting game community member Ludovic Mbock was arrested by ICE, his family and friends have been working non-stop to bring him home aftermath.site/ice-ludovic-mb...

Everyone gaslit Pokemon into overcompensating on grass textures, but I wonder if they're gonna let you skip dialogue, animations, or "cutscenes" to help shave the 20 hours of padding off this time

Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.

Mass strikes are always a blast in freelance production. Oh, friday? *checks calendar, no bookings* Oh no yeah, I'm feeling pretty revolutionary that day actually
