a thing i think more professional wrestlers need to internalize is that WrestleMania Moments are fake and that they are a branding exercise. they are the carrot they dangle in front of wrestlers to get them to take less and put up with more.

Wrestlers who are big Fed marks are really funny because they all believe they're gonna be the next Hogan or Savage or Bret or Shawn or Austin or Rock, but in the end, its the Fed. The way they book shit, you might end up a Brooklyn Brawler or an Al Snow or, god forbid, a Val Venis.

The death of monoculture means that the first time I ever hear about an internet personality is via them doing a sex crime. Also learning you don't have to be so famous as to set an all-time sales record of over 50 million copies of a music album to have people jump to your defense over sex crimes.

Messing around with a program that runs IPTV playlist stuff and I'm like "wow look at all the live TV channels I can run" and its just stuff like Buzzr or Retro TV or Comet TV or Shout!TV or whatever. I think if you add an NBC or ABC or Fox or whatever its just news and weather and nothing else.

I checked the source to see if it was at a shareholders meeting, a place where the greatest minds in business gather to discuss important things like "why doesn't Nintendo make bread, I eat bread sometimes and that sells" or "have you heard of phones" but this was some other conference?

Just in case you didn't know ModRetro fucking sucks and "Automated War Initiative" is a disgusting title Also, War Crime Enthusiast Palmer Luckey is incredibly thin skinned and will chase you around various social media platforms if you talk sauce about him and his shitty M64. Worth it.
FB comment:

Palmer Luckey: Mike Fink the M64 is $230 not $320 and it is far more powerful than the Mister. We developed our own core and open sourceed all the hardware and software 

And Aduril helps kill Russians, not children

Me: Palmer Free Luckey that's without the controller, not included, which is $90 

And also fuck youWe still clown on you with memes
Palmer Luckey and is shit handheld emulator, along with other fascists that don't care about human life, like Elon Musk and JD Vance

I don’t really engage with the greater Castlevania discourse in general, and haven’t for ages, because consensus has decided that they should all be Metroid instead of Castlevania, and that battle is over. The old guard is dead. The victors can put up with whatever modernity ruined for them.

Wanting one of these to pin to my car's eye shield thing like I'm a trucker or something. Or like how South Burning was looking at a picture of his wife hanging up above his cockpit in Gundam 0083 right before his mobile suit malfunctions and explodes, killing him. That's how I'd wanna go.

Apparently VGE hid the comment I left under his video. Here it is for anyone who wants to see it, as it seems to clearly bother him that someone wants to hold him even slightly responsible for the major damage he's been doing and continues to do this scene.
Not putting any sort of disclosure in the thumbnail or the description that this isn't from the actual team that made the tooling (which this uses and is the only reason it works) and the existing Banjo port is a new low for this channel.

This port is NOT associated with us. It is entirely AI-generated. Both Zelda: Recompiled and Banjo: Recompiled have very clear No AI stances. We have not, do not and will not use AI to ever work on these projects.

Your irresponsible reporting is exactly the sort of behavior I've told you about that completely hurts the scene and the entire reason why people keep pumping out these projects just so they get their 10 minutes of fame in your videos.

We're not interested in engaging a race to the bottom and will take the time that is necessary to deliver a polished version of the game. Using the extensive amount of human research we've done for the framework, the renderer and the games themselves and throwing AI at it is just disrespectful.

I mostly remember Nadesico as a fun TV series that was very enjoyable. And then it kept going, and it got less fun. I still like the TV series at least. Don't really like that Super Robot Wars just keeps using Prince of Darkness whenever they revisit it instead of the TV series.

My shitty all-foil mono-red goblins EDH deck has been needing a Muxus, Goblin Grandee for a while now, but I wasn't too fond of the only foil version of it that existed so far. Tempting me with a Labyrinth-themed reprint with art by Rebecca Guay sure is a strong marketing technique.

Yeah, an underappreciated part of Sega's weird ass history is that the Sammy merger kept them alive but also made their business decisions less horrible. Not "good" but at least with Sammy on board they weren't making as many horrifying wild swings because an executive got jealous at a Namco project

this is true and has been true for the past 30 years. And contrary to how most people understand, it was worse *before* Sammy, for reasons that people other than you seldom discuss! Still, there's a lot of good people at Sega, and the fewer assholes clamping them down the better.

the defining games story of the last decade is when the dead cells team got a bunch of positive press for being a workers co-op but then the game was a huge hit and so they made a private company for all the new employees to scale up into while the “co-op” remained about ten people large lol

Toshihiro Nagoshi somehow being worse than Yuji Naka is both not surprising and very surprising at the same time and makes the context of a lot of modern Sega's output make way more sense.

If you think the Japanese original/English localization discourse is rough, you should check out whenever a professional wrestler either signs up with or leaves the WWE and they gotta change their name and see what folks do there.
