Getting so emotional hearing these final moments with this cast and when Travis Willingham starts talking about bloody Doritos in the Sephiroth voice XD

The full quote is “the customer is always right in matters of taste”. In other words if someone wants to buy some ugly shit, let them. Not “submit to the customer’s every whim”. The fact the second half has been almost entirely forgotten really supports your point.

I worked in retail for about six years and "the customer is always right" is bullshit messaging that I'm convinced has contributed to so many adults acting like entitled babies who don't know how to take being told "no".

they let me write about sonic on my first day! and also bitch about remakes appealing to escapism and fear!

At this point, you can't even open the Steam front page without stumbling over remake after remake (sometimes remasters, just to spice things up). To say remakes are in vogue would be an understatement: they're an almost guaranteed moneymaker that can prey on nostalgia and a lust for a 'better time' to deliver games that can offer some ephemeral reproduction of the feeling of childhood, thus protecting from the Scaries of living in the current time. And, unless you're Square Enix having the Final Fantasy VII Remake series juggle both a new story and the original as a metanarrative, remakes usually grant that sweetest of temptations: the same thing you like, forever.

I reviewed a Silent Hill game!! Feels weird to be able to say that. In a lot of ways, Townfall epitomizes the series for me. It's a deeply flawed game, but Screen Burn's creativity breaks through each and every one of them to deliver an experience that I can't help but recommend.

With sexual assault being so prominent in the news I wrote this short piece. I hope it brings light to the average woman's experience of sexual violence.

When I was 17 my friend told me she'd been raped. She was drunk at an event and a friend took her outside and raped her. It was 2007 and I didn't have empathy for her. She often got drunk and flirted with guys. She was beautiful and liked the attention. It was bound to happen eventually. I didn't have empathy for her rape, because I didn't think it would happen to me. Or at least, if it did, it would be one of those lesser rapes like when your boyfriend does it, or when you end up saying yes because it's easier than saying no.

I first wrote a version of this essay when I was 24 and at that time I said I was the only woman I knew that hadn't been raped. That was a lie, but I didn't know what it was. I mean there was that one time when I continually said no to my boyfriend and he penetrated me anyway, but I carried on then so it's essentially fine. And there was that time I had a horrendous UTI, but it was my 19th birthday and he said it was his birthday present to me, so I just bore through the pain to receive my gift because I didn't want to make him feel bad about not getting me anything. But ya know, that's just part of being a woman isn't it?

My sister once said to me, "you've probably been raped and don't remember it. Men tend to just do that." The statement was ridiculous to me, a woman that had definitely not been raped. When my friend woke up and saw her friend violating her unconscious body and the police took us to a cabin in the woods so she could have a rape kit and then they arrested the guy, though she dropped the charges because it's not worth ruining his life over and he probably got the message from the arrest anyway. That was like a proper rape and that hadn't happened to me.

What had happened to me was more like what had happened to my friend when we were 14, where she got black out drunk at a house party and her boyfriend carried her to a local park, sat her on a bench and sexually assaulted her. It's something that feels icky, like you know th…

Maybe Capcom does plan to implement genAI, at which point screw them. But until they explicitly say they're using genAI or announce a game with genAI assets, I don't think immediately condemning it is warranted or all that helpful.

040

Michael 'Brawler1993' Beckwith @brawler1993.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

It's a ploy to make it seem like complaints about genAI are unfounded or an overreaction and it unfortunately is working. Capcom's statement is simply too vague and it could just as easily be spouting buzzwords to appease investors but people can easily jump to the worst conclusion.

Michael 'Brawler1993' Beckwith @brawler1993.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

AI has been a thing for years and in a lot of instances is perfectly fine. So, in response to the deservedly toxic reception towards genAI, tech bros will describe it in blanket terms to make you think that by rejecting genAI, you're rejecting ALL AI tech.

160

Michael 'Brawler1993' Beckwith @brawler1993.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Seeing how many people can't agree whether Capcom is actually talking about genAI or not really exemplifies how the AI industry has successfully obfuscated what any of the tech actually is.
