There are virtually no "AI policy" experts in law despite what some claim. And yet many nonlawyers or nonpracticing politicians are sure they are. Which is even weirder when you consider the lawyers who do know a bunch about current concerns and issues often won't admit to being such experts.

To be fair this guy isn't talking to most folks who love and enjoy music. He's feeding the egos of the "My computer made me a song about how my neighbor needs to return that rake he says he didn't borrow! The chorus is how he sucks and I'm a special boy!" crowd. So, you know...morons.

The Venn diagram of the worst whiners about a few bugs in the new Witcher 3 upgrade trying to convince you they paid for it and those who whined about Ciri as the main character in 4 is a circle.

Fan obsession with how every minor continuity issue seems to be getting worse and let's be honest, it's an embittered parasocial attitude that wouldn't have survived some of greatest franchises and series ever that were made by mere humans being paid to entertain regularly.

In today's Adventures in Gatekeeping, I saw some dip complaining the Morlock Annalee looks too frumpy and such in the new Wolverine game. This is Annalee in her original comics form. Fucking casuals.

This Ken Paxton interview where he brags about having a child predator (his words btw) serve a whole 60 days (he didn't actually btw) should be the end of him but apparently helping pedos is a plus for the right these days.

Saw a Skybound exec in a video bragging how they keep getting offers and haven't sold because the numbers aren't there. "But we will" He insists. Then he started going on about how they're a IP producer like it was just making toilet seats or something.

We're watching The Relic. A fun creature feature with a great Stan Winston designs. But it's also one of the worst examples of adapting a book. Why? Because someone involved in the film decided there were too many characters so they cut... the protagonist who went on to star like 20+ bestsellers.

This random post hating on the Wolvie game is the weirdest self own ever. That's Marvel's Power Broker. C list mastermind who ignored all warnings in his hubris and turned himself into a musclebound lump. Couldn't move, constant pain, slowly dying. That's who this guy who made this says he is...

I see a lot of "here's how not to let your players run over you with their crazy ideas!" videos online for gaming content and you know nobody just says "Don't play with disruptive assholes but be happy when your players care enough to get creative and fun."

Watching The Pirates of Blood River last night (for the first time I think, maybe not, I've seen a lot of films and I'm old) and I was struck by how much I'd love a studio that aimed to do Hammer-style films but with modern sensibilities attached as needed.

It is literally always some variant of the "Christ is King" assholes who staple their kids to their chest and try to fight everyone else online at the slightest "insult."

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I truly hate that most the time now when I see a video that looks like an old kung fu or fantasy or animated film its usually AI that falls apart in like 15 seconds. Just... nope.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

One thing the internet has normalized that should be taken out and shot is the idea if someone with direct personal experience is talking? It's totally legit for those with no experience to find some online opinion and use it to "confront" them as if that's an equal and just result.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

One thing I saw again today I'll never get is theists (okay let's be honest, members of the "big 3" religions in the West) who get all "these are facts! You can't handle it!" Uh no. It's faith. Wasn't that the whole point? If you try to make them facts you're trying to kill your whole thing.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Today's reminder than gatekeepers are stupid fucks who don't know 1/10th what they think they do. Being an expert in something requires insight and adaptability. Loving something means you want to share it with others enthusiastic to experience it. Gatekeepers are useless drags.

Don't be the sort of guy who posts crusader imagery as aspiration or has every unironically referred to yourself as a "modern day warrior poet." Or I mean do...ladies could probably use the help weeding you out of the dating pool.

I love how many hoops Comed makes me go through to prove I'm me. It helps deal with that epidemic of people logging on and paying other people's electric bills.

Maybe we can use Pokémon scalpers tears to cool data centers...

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I don't really care much about Pokemon but watching a bunch of entitled scalpers I suspect spend their off hours trolling teens and harassing minorities (because they seem the type) crying at their losses is kinda great.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

MAGA twits love to try and shame AOC for being a bartender while they also whine that libs don't work real jobs. I'm not surprised, but it's such a basic twit move you'd think they'd have a shitty ignorant troll class or something that would teach them better.

020

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

We're gonna have to force these idiots to wear scarlet hats in a few years so they can't hide and pretend they didn't love Trump and MAGA, aren't we?

010

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Oh god yes. Which also seems to be stripping away a lot of appreciation and utility of modest fame for actual accomplishments. "We can't pay you a living wage for actually creating the stuff we sell because we need to budget to suck up to influencers and streamers to sell."

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

If Trump fills his stupid arch with ammo, isn't it just a big old target for someone to blow up? Oh but it will have snipers! So when someone blows it up there will be guaranteed casualties. Sigh.

So a week ago I had no idea who Sweet Baby Inc was. And now after seeing incels screech about it for a week I get the feeling they're a sensitivity consultant or something?

I dunno but I feel like it. Favorite "Flagsuit/Super-Patriot" hero for a country that's not yours. For me it's Union Jack. With honorable mention to Jack Staff.

I've said this before but it bears repeating. If I see you complain about the "normies"? I'm gonna take that as a red flag and assume you're likely an immature asshole with an unearned victim complex that fuels your behavior.

One thing about wannabe bullies is they're fucking stupid cowards. So you're never mocking them or standing up to them to make them realize they're awful and pathetic. You're doing it so others who are targeted know someone isn't going to just let them act like that.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I want to be fun and light and say "yeah, Olivia Rodrigo should totally do that rpg the Onion joked she was making!" But I actually want to say... "Yeah, and then the Onion can do a piece about an experienced noncelebrity game designer getting proper credit and a living wage!"

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I wonder how the "everything Japanese is better than what you do, gaijin!" (mostly white) folks are going to do with this report that 85 percent of Japanese game devs are using generative AI. I presume just ignore it.

One of the regular bursts of joy I get telling me despite the struggles and the difficulties of life? When someone says "It's like Buddha said" or "As the Bard wrote" I often can say "yeah, I liked that too" while if they say "Like Mr. Beast said..." And I say "who the fuck is Mr. Beast?"

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Is it some weird Zoomer thing that just presumes everyone interprets a laugh emoji as "I'm laughing at you!" Because when I mock some shitty bigoted little chud and they "laugh" back I just assume they admit I've got their number so bad even they had to laugh at what a wreck they are...

Dear snarky painfully predictable Gen X influencer: Your emphatic protestation you really don't wish you were young again would land SO much harder without those filters that make you look like you're made of plastic.

I'm gonna be honest, if your profile pick is you in your car or truck with sunglasses on trying to mean mug the camera? I'm going to assume you're the worst of idiots. Same with certain anime and "tough guy" avatars. It's not a fair reaction, but it's earned.

Instead of doing their jobs and voting on the Hegseth impeachment the GOP is going home. Maybe we should all do that the next time we have to do something we don't like. Like nationwide. "Aw man, its my turn to make coffee? But I didn't even have any of the last pot... see you in 2027!"

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Basing your personality around how games, books, movies, etc. sell when you have nothing to do with their creation is just weird. Like, I avoid such people because I suspect they're not just annoying but unhinged on some level I don't need to deal with.

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Blood of the Dawnwalker is like 99 percent great but that Bakir fight is unfun horseshit. There's a good chance you don't have your gear and not even your elixirs and such. It's not even checkpointed well. Literally nothing else in the game has been like that so that's weird.

000

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Apparently paranoids at TP USA sure the streets are filled deadly libs and brown people expect people to believe ninja antifa vandalized a Charlie Kirk statue they didn't have a single camera monitoring. Like it wasn't really Erika Kirk with spraypaint muttering "maybe JD will love me now!"

010

Jack Norris @jackno.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Let's be blunt: this AOC and Mamdani "its inappropriate to briefly smile and greet each other at a memorial!" crap is about the idea that brown people shouldn't show even mild enthusiasm or joy without being seen as a threat to fragile whites. Well, that and puritanical horseshit.

"They didn't give me a physical disc and they put a pride flag on a random shop in the background of one scene! I'm being oppreessed! It's just a fun Marvel game, it didn't cure my ED or anything! Booo!" There, I've saved you reading a ton of Wolverine game "reviews."

I'm adding "go to Mexico City to see lucha libre there" to my wish list. Time with tell if "and stay because fuck all these gross ass bigots and morons" is added to that dream. I'm hoping not but I'm open.

Let's be blunt, the day he said he was running people should have looked at the shit he did as a private citizen and said "lol, nope!" I get we kinda want to give the 2016 Trumpettes a pass for political reasons but anyone who ever voted for him was being an utterly stupid bastard.

Why do I get the feeling if the new Wolverine were a game of memorizing the same ridiculous attack patterns to beat super hard bosses while convincing yourself you're having fun dying 452 times on a skeleton that reviewers would be all over its adamantium junk?
