My thoughts on You Can See Everything

WOMAN: I’m gonna cum!! NATHAN FIELDER: ok.

Donald Trump is a rapist pedophile

Something I spoke about before was how transphobia is often an expression of misogyny, it gives people who hate women an outlet and sets trans women up as a class of women it's socially okay to be misogynistic towards, while also providing an ideological justification for that misogyny.

I heard people wanted incredible indie games without any slop. So everyone’s buying Virtue and a Sledgehammer right??

Edited to match current French political context. (While I'm doing silly jokes, go buy 1000xRESIST, y'all.)

Voted. Fuck those guys

He has always been a ghoul, huh?

You ever see 6 women in a line who are all definitely name Kaylee in increasingly esoteric spellings?

It was a rotation of Oregon Trail, Super Munchers, and The Secret Island of Dr Quandary

I believe Matt Yglesias should be required to shove one (1) medium sized cactus up his rectum every Tuesday.

Oh hell yes

This is how I learned he cheated on his wife

Leveraged buyouts shouldn't be legal. Loading a company with $18 billion of debt it didn't have before is going to destroy every EA company

Yesterday: Warren Spector justifiably furious about how f'd up the razing of Bioware is Tonight: Warren's in Brooklyn talking with us about his career, and probably also all this f'd up #!(*% extractive consolidation going on? Bring your questions ALSO at twitch.tv/nyugamecenter see you there

If you want to understand why I fell down the kpop rabbit hole, watch this video roughly a dozen times.

BioWare was not closed because their games were queer, or bad, or rushed, or too ambitious or anything else. They were closed because EA is trying to raise their bottom line by a couple percentage points and that always comes at the expense of the people who's labour is already being exploited.

We will be fixing any technical issues you find over the week! Thanks for finding them and being patient :) In the meantime we will be sending 10 codes to anyone who can't afford the game rn, but will draw us some cool fan art (no AI pls). Just reply here with it

Think they can double it by the 12 month mark?

for everyone who keeps asking if this is good: yes! it means there's now 80 billion dollars out there for us to find. get cracking, gumshoes!!

I think it is really important to at least try a bit of every new blood magic tome, just to keep up to date on things.

ok, yes. i used a little blood magic to make this potion. but in my defense, it's hard NOT to use blood magic these days. all the tomes and orbs are powered by it. blood magic is really a systemic issue. in a way i'm a hero for admitting i use it

to me the existential threat posed by AI slop games is less "AI slop games will steal our sales" and more "the onslaught of AI slop and the exhaustion over having to second guess every new game will make people mentally check out from supporting new games at all and retreat to their backlogs"

Doesn’t quite out do “by Odin’s fade” but it’s up there

im so tired, man

Tempest disbanding is both entirely predictable deeply disappointing. Yuehua continues to prove they are at the industry’s cutting edge when it comes to wasting potential.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

This era is going to represent the biggest pile of wasted silicon in the history of the microprocessor, because all these things are doing right now is depreciating. It's possible that's all they'll ever do.

Let’s fucking goooooooooo
