Are You Okay Haden

No amount of robot gun gender will ever make me forgive Bungie for laying my friends off after crunch death marches

But in case you can’t scroll: The incompetent pieces of shit in Bungie management ruined so many lives, several of which are people I know and love, by laying them off after they busted their asses getting Final Shape out the door, sending them into the worst game industry job market in history

It’s true 😭

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a giant squid wearing a yellow Bart t-shirt and some terrible hypebeast shorts is looking in the mirror. It says, “need groceries… but all my clothes are in the laundry.” Panel 2: the squid, now also wearing hot pink crocs, exits its apartment and says, “eh. I won’t see anyone.” Panel 3: two fisherman are pulling the squid to the surface of the water and pointing at it. An overlayed news caption reads: RARE SQUID SIGHTED - the fit was crazy

One more time from the top:

Just because a movie has a political message that you agree with does to mean the movie is automatically good or that the message was conveyed effectively.

THE BRIDE OF THE MONSTER was anti-nuke. I agree with it. HOWEVER.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Yeah, this is a constant struggle for us. We do our best to use "funder" terms for ourselves and it is great when others acknowledge and are consistent with the distinction.

Simply put, we do not offer services (loc, qa, marketing, etc) and devs own their own operations and external relationships!

You see this constantly in how-to books published in the last 15-20 years. Previously, there might be a CD-ROM but at least there was something solid. Now books are full of QR codes that may or may not lead to vital information.

If I get a book with them, I download and print ASAP.

Happy Mario day!

For all Burton's flaws as a director and artist I will always adore the run from Pee Wee's to Batman Returns and Edward Scissorhands is the absolute peak of that

absolutely dying to investigate this piano purchase

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

The budget for her ad was more than for the entire NEA.

This is the thing. The quiz is just asking people if they like a snippet of art or a snippet of a derivative of art. It’s like asking someone if they prefer a line drawn by Picasso or a line drawn by a computer trained on Picasso and the works of the people he influenced. It doesn’t mean much.

most of my anger towards dems is they repeatedly invoke this trope and then do not govern, either in majority or minority, as if it was true. whereas i actually often do believe it and believe the responsibility to act like it’s true extends past the first week of november

i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly

Zeteo ran an interview with Graham Platner today (paywalled, unfortunately) and I can't get past the fact that someone who literally recommends people watch "Come and See" as the ultimate anti-war movie is trying to pretend he never knew what a Totenkopf was.

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

unironically I think Tim Robinson has the most "Lynchian" output of the modern media landscape (and i don't just mean the freaky stuff in The Chair Company)

Sometimes Two People Just Fall Out Of Cahoots Ending an important relationship is never easy. It’s always going to hurt, whether it was your decision or your partner’s. But that doesn’t mean anyone did anything wrong. Sometimes two people just fa...

For big companies it's really not even really expensive for them to make a project union.

It's more about agreeing to protection terms for workers and actors that they're avoiding. Not cost.
