freeze-gamergaters won't stop until games journalism is great again, like it was in the 90s when Rise of the Robots got game of the year awards before anyone could even play it... and it was utter and complete trash. Oh and "booth babes" were everywhere and advertisements sometimes forgot to show the fucking game because a centerfold of a le naked feeemale is all that the hogs required to buy in (if you don't believe me, look up "Forsaken's" centerfold ad. It was in magazines I owned back then).

no one knows what happens if they exceed that date.

Damn it, now I suddenly want to see more cinematic helmets. sicko-wistful

Starcraft 2, mainly. There's layers to that bad writing cake, but the old "atrocity enjoying villain just needs to be cuddled by DudeBro McManPain to be 'saved'" is there and it reeks, and there is also "actually there's a secret group of masterminds that are behind every bad thing in the world" that sounds like contemporary "but RUZZIA" cope too.

I'm not going to go full CinemaSins ding about helmet usage or lack thereof. Theatrical displays of non-realism have been a thing in stage plays for thousands of years.

Screaming into a microphone to get credulous kids to pay up has been a successful grift for decades now. debord-tired

Oh look another good one that's jangling the freeze-gamer keys of requiring k/d ratio/gearscore/receipt-of-Fortnite-skin-purchases to even be allowed an opinion about the bideo bames. pathetic

I'd call it the Seinfeld Effect except that Seinfeld is such an incredible piece of shit pedo creep that I'd rather not give him that honor.

 

trump-moist is a NYC failson scion that's obsessed with golf and creepy beauty paegants.

my-hero goes without saying; he has almost nothing in common with the average "heartland" chud except hatred and targets for hatred.

I don't know how to reach them and I assume if it was easy it would have been done already, but it baffles me that these failson clowns hold the leash.

 
 

Enjoy!

Quit Clown

A Twitter data scientist who was set to resign reportedly told CEO Elon Musk what a lot of users are thinking these days: "I hope you’ll declare bankruptcy and let someone else run the company."

That anecdote and other eye-opening revelations are at the center of the just-released book "Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter," by New York Times reporters Kate Conger and Ryan Mac, who take readers inside how Musk has transformed the social network, now called X, into a shambolic mess of bots and extremist hate accounts.

The departing employee was initially pleased that Musk had taken over the company, as flagged by Rolling Stone, but grew increasingly alarmed, especially after Musk shared a deranged and incorrect conspiracy theory about Nancy Pelosi's husband after a home invader attacked him with a hammer.

"It’s only really like the tenth percentile of the adult population who’d be gullible enough to fall for this," the data scientist told Musk during a face-to-face meeting.

"Fuck you!" Musk shouted back. Fail Whale

There are even more bonkers revelations in the book, but you don't really need to read all these anecdotes to get a sense that X-formerly-Twitter is adrift and that Musk is a terrible manager.

If you've spent any length of time on the site, you will be inundated with sex or porn bots and dubious accounts with paid blue checks peddling conspiracy theories, with Musk as chief pusher of fake news on the app.

Not to mention arcane tech glitches, like last year when the website became unusable due to "rate limit exceeded" messages.

And because of Musk's mismanagement and his mercurial presence on the app, advertisers and users have left in droves — leading Musk to sue advertisers over this supposed mass boycott.

Here's a thought: perhaps Musk should have listened to that data scientist and left the website in more competent hands.

 
 

Well, not nearly as much of what he actually deserves. sicko-wistful
