Two more weeks till BlizzCon...what a complete shitshow that’s going to be...

I feel awful for all the developers, who had nothing to do with any of this and who have been working their asses off on new projects and updates to existing titles that are going to have all their work ridiculed, ignored, and sidelined… Read more

Ultimately, everything is political. I forget who actually said it, but the aphorism that we do not have to take an interest in politics for politics to take an interest in us is absolutely true—and it’s of vital importance to the present situation.

More importantly, Acti-Blizz (and the NBA, and South Park) took a… Read more

For consistency sake, they would have to fire everyone involved in that video. It would only be fair, given their very broad and loose policy rule they used last time to try and justify supporting China without saying it.

Got what I wanted. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE on the Switch gives me a reason to play through that game again. Now, how about a remastered Persona 3 FES on Switch? And Final Fantasy VI? Read more

I’m already seeing the comments, so let’s be clear about something here:

Removing something from your own work that you feel do not stand by is, just saying, not fucking censorship. It’s called editing! Ya know, that shit that you do in order to create a good work? Read more

Ah, right..”censorship”...the cowards reasoning for accepting and brushing off hate speech.

Cool, that’s one less game I have to play. Read more

The photo above shows all the phones with Rayquaza in them. He was likely doing a “solo” raid. Since Rayquaza is a Level 5 raid, it typically requires 6-7 people minimum to win (though 9-10 is preferable) and is completely impossible for someone to do with one account.  Read more
