Like, I'm not looking at Blizzard's books, I don't know where the margins are, but if your entire hero shooter franchise might collapse because a few dark skinned characters got more cosmetics or - shock horror - you added a woman who isn't slim, then maybe that's just poor management on your part.

I know folks are exhausted by the discourse around OW skin distribution at this point but it's still heartbreaking seeing so many people just accepting it. We all understand the financial reality is "young thin light skinned characters sell better" but idk if that's something we SHOULD just accept.

In all seriousness Glee Season 3 needs to be studied for just how many ways it managed to fall apart. Filming episodes two weeks before they were due to air, Ryan Murphy deliberately using the characters to mock fans, plots only existing to justify whatever was in the Top 40 being performed...

Not something I talk about much these days but for me this was probably Glee? First two seasons were great, then S3 gradually nosedived so damn hard that by the time S4 began it had gone from one of the most popular shows on TV to barely talked about outside of it’s hardcore fanbase.

Every day I miss the Survivor Trilogy Lara Croft more and more. Seeing Crystal Dynamics walk back so much of what was simply meant to be the new standard for the character is genuinely heartbreaking, as is watching people who should know better lapping it up simply because of nostalgia.

You cannot support HP without supporting JKR. There is no line to be drawn. Simply showing support, even if you aren't buying anything, helps boost her social standings which gives her more power over others to do as she pleases. (aka commit trans genocide) I will block you if you support HP.

My biggest hope is that Bungie can add these locations to the Distortion rotation going forward. Obviously Distortions were likely originally intended as a seasonal event, but given they were repurposed as a permanent EoS addition it'd be neat to see it expanded like that.

Thinking about all the people who never even got to explore the vaulted Destiny 2 locations. Titan, Io, Mercury, Warmind-era Mars, The Tangled Shore… The fact that’s all coming back still hasn’t even begun to sink in.

Like I get creatives trying to play off things already in the pipeline as being in response to fan critiques or wants in an attempt to make them feel listened to, but that trick only works when the stuff you've already made DOES actually align with that rather than fly completely counter to it.

Still wild to me they genuinely didn't seem to realise fans were aware of where production was at. Claiming S4 would be 'less big swings' in response to S3 pushback, despite it already being filmed, was such a weird choice and inevitably blew up in their faces given it's some of the BIGGEST swings.

I'm sure some people will claim it's 'lazy' to reuse the dialogue like that, but honestly I think it really adds to his character? The fact that Sybok's whole shtick is somewhat *rehearsed* just adds to the cult leader vibes he'll eventually have in The Final Frontier.

I'll always love this movie. It's the one that got me into the franchise when I was young and I have so much affection for it but my god having the film itself and the characters in it operating on two completely different sets of logic does not make for an easy viewing experience when you're a kid.

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991) - a.k.a. when you come up with a really clever time travel story, populate it with characters who don't have the faintest idea how time travel works, and explain it all to the audience so poorly it makes it look like your film is full of plot holes.

For the record, not a complaint, I have no issue with bad language I just think it's funny. Only line that *does* take me out of it is her "I'll cheers to that!" - no Brit would ever say that.

Ngl it's so funny to me that 10 years on Overwatch still won't allow language stronger than "damn", but is perfectly fine with Tracer's skin-exclusive "wanker!" line. I get it, from a US dev perspective it's a silly twee British word, but it's *way* stronger language than I think they realise.

Said it before, but across ALL creative industries, there is a glassy-eyed ayahuasca-addled CEO somewhere, slowly sawing the head off the golden goose while it's still laying an egg, grinning manically. Above them, a stadium-full of cocaine-dusted shareholders clap uproariously. This will continue

I can't pretend to have followed the project very closely and even I was aware it was always going to be about the length it was. People acting like they were promised a feature-length film are just trying to shift the blame for their own misconceptions.

The moronic discourse around The Lovers is maddening. Call me childish, but if you think you could do better then DO IT. In a world where human-made art is increasingly devalued & taken for granted, they made something truly beautiful, put it out online for free and people are STILL dicks about it.

Hawks as a protagonist was definitely written to be an older, experienced "commander" type given their backstory, and again the appearance of the default male version on the box, but I do think some of that writing maybe needed another pass or some line variants to account for non-human versions.

Like I dunno, not sure a female Twi'Lek who's been on the run from the Empire for a year would be *that* instantly forgiving of a guy who immediately jumped into an Imperial Officer uniform just because he's a bit sad about it. Still, on the whole a fantastic game, but it *really* shines mid-story.

OrbitalWings @orbitalwings.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Wrapped up Zero Company and I will say story-wise I think the ending was a bit of a letdown? Not that it's *bad* but it didn't really live up to all the build-up that preceded it, and some of the writing in it for the protagonist definitely feels odd if you're not playing the default human male.

OrbitalWings @orbitalwings.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
Unfortunately I can’t really talk much about why I think the game is resonating so much with me without getting into spoiler territory but it really is nailing a very BioWare-esque vibe and I’m loving it.

Still making my way through Star Wars: Zero Company and god this might genuinely be a GOTY contender for me. Gameplay still isn't old, characters all still incredibly engaging, and holy shit what a good use of the IP. Plays on your knowledge & expectations of Star Wars in really interesting ways.

Been playing Star Wars: Zero Company for the past 2 days and ngl I would *kill* for a Mass Effect game from these devs in this style. They've openly discussed ME's influence on this game and honestly I say just give them the IP. It'd be the perfect way to finally allow other playable races.

At this point, it feels quaint to call out Keighley for trying to play both sides, calling attention to rising hardware prices and widespread layoffs while showing off games that are embracing a contributing factor to those issues. As long as the checks are good, and we know they are, it doesn’t seem like he cares that the events he hosts perpetuate genAI sanewashing.
