The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York just rejected several of the Trump administration’s key rationales for withholding an Office of Legal Counsel opinion that it is using to justify its ongoing extrajudicial boat strike campaign, which has murdered more than 230 people.

Over the last year I’ve started hearing more friends and peers say there’s no future in games media. I don’t necessarily think they’re wrong in a lot of ways, especially if you’re a woman or person of color. The makeup of staff positions is abysmal

Everyone in politics and media does spooky voice about high corporate taxes and high top marginal rates, and then you look up the period of history where we had that and it's called ~the golden age of capitalism~

I'm always struck by the absolute fucking JOYLESSNESS of it all. They don't want to browse and explore and spend time actively pursuing a hobby they might enjoy. Instead, they want to click 5 times and then go "Behold my stuff" to an empty room because they have no actual friends.

I didn't know you were allowed to say things this horny in 1946.

The Big Sleep. Lauren Bacall to Humphrey Bogart: "Well, speaking of horses, I like to play them myself. But I like to see them work out a little first, see if they're front runners of come from behind."

(continued) "Find out what their hole-card is"

I saw "The Big Sleep" for the first time in college in the early 90s at the arthouse Palm Theater, programmed as part of a Noir Film Studies class, and the way the entire audience did their own personal and sincere variants on Joel from MST3k saying "Oh wowww" at this scene...

I think the most frustrating thing for me personally and one that feels unique to games journalism is that if you try to talk about these inequities people will just straight up say you’re a bad person and the create a reason for that post facto

I think what really gets my ass is like, nobody currently working in games media in a hiring or commissioning position will admit it, but the severe gendering of who gets to write and produce content in this space is part of an explicitly male chauvinist, right wing cultural movement.

The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

I don't really take anyone who INSISTS on the Japanese title of anime/manga seriously unless they'll also say 西遊記 instead of Journey to the West or Преступление и наказание instead of Crime and Punishment. Localizing the title of a piece of art is just NORMAL.

It can be a balancing act and sometimes weird choices can be made in the process of localizing, but I agree that the ultimate objective is to communicate the story clearly to the target audience. I don't always like every decision, but consistency is key so everyone is on the same page.

SungWon is right, and you can just @ him instead of doing this. Language is adaptive to the community you want to communicate with. Use the title that is accurate for who you are talking to.
