there are no worthwhile qualities of fraternities, full stop. when they're not busy raping women and defending their rapist members they abuse and kill new members for fun. colleges have proven they cannot be made safe or reformed. the only reasonable policy at this point is banning all of them.

For my part, in the early days of the Asha Sharma era (which I guess we're still in, but let's talk in relative terms), I assumed that the goal was to bring insanely unrealistic "efficiency" to Xbox that would do huge damage to it. That wasn't true. The goal from the start has been to END Xbox.

At what point does the press finally stop writing glowing articles about Asha Sharma doing customer support, making decisions based on Twitter polls, etc. and start acknowledging who she really is: a Microsoft-appointed executioner

thinking about some facts about the early days of Xbox for no reason whatsoever
interview with multiple members of the early xbox project. quote from xbox designer Seamus Blackley: "There were some guys who worked on Xbox early on who called it Coffin Box because they were worried that it would fail and end their career at Microsoft."

I have to disagree with people saying Physint is never coming out. Oh, Microsoft will dump it, no doubt. No shot it ships under them. But Kojima won’t give them the power to shut down the studio, so he’ll just shop it to another publisher.

microsoft have essentially bought up and bulldozed almost an entire american arts industry as a half-hearted distraction from their main project of trying to monopolise and rent-seek global digital infrastructure and military contracts

other than call of duty and wow i genuinely think the smart move is to assume that any other xbox game thats more than a year away is never coming out. ‘mass layoffs and activision taking over halo’ just doesn’t describe how disastrous and destructive microsoft’s actions have been

this whole xbox thing feels like a true emperors no clothes moment. there is so obviously no plan, anything announced yesterday is overruled tomorrow, that even reporting the facts feels laughably insufficient.

The thing is, as dumb a decision as it was, Bungie didn’t do the vaulting of Destiny 2 because it seemed like such a fun idea. It’s because they had a huge, bone-deep tech problem with the game’s growing size that they couldn’t figure out how to fix. So. How are you fixing that?

I suspect the answer is no, but: is there ANY way to make Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave start with Japanese voices? It's a bizarrely long time before you get access to an options menu to change it, and it defaults to English VO, even if you set your system to Japanese.

given the language’s use of pseudo-onomatopoetic doubling like “girigiri,” “kirakira,” “guchagucha,” et cetera, do think “luppyluppy” makes more sense in japanese

RASCAL NEWSLETTER: The "Genocide Is Bad" organization has determined that this owners of this golf course actively support genocide. They have asked people not to play golf here, so go forward fully informed about the political context surrounding it. Now watch this drive
A screenshot from Rascal's newsletter which reads:

[Blizzard Entertainment is owned by Microsoft, which has been named a "priority target" by the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement over its complicity in Israel's ongoing occupation of Palestine and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. That boycott explicitly extends to Xbox and Microsoft's gaming products. I am about to spend a few paragraphs writing about a game I love (warts and all), so go forward fully informed about the political context surrounding it.]

World of Warcraft has once again activated the siren call, luring me back to shores I've explored for the majority of my life at this point. This latest temptation is the strongest and most devious, nostalgia mixed with big promises in the form of Wow: Forever. (The essay goes on.)

to me the question isn't whether or not oot remake uses ai, and i'm not interested in making blanket accusations just because it looks like shit, but in how much is it influenced by being part of a contemporary aesthetic movement that is deeply commercial, and yes, is influenced by gen ai

"leak" of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 3, with Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Metal Gear Ac!d, and Metal Gear Ac!d 2
