  • Awesome work! Looks beautiful!

    But also, Kirby as a Metroidvania worked so much better than it had any right to, really wish they’d do another game in that genre.

    I was so excited for that game when it was coming out, my mom bought some weird copy on the Internet for my birthday before it was even released in North America. The game was in English but the manual was in Japanese. Managed to get 99% completion and then my save data got corrupted.

    Tbf there are probably far-right people who are more like the latter. Just b/c I do not recall ever hearing those arguments does not mean that they don’t exist!

    Those people are working with the heritage foundation and other far right think tanks. They understand that their brand of mask-off fascism is problematic to a lot of people, so they allow their ideas to percolate through various right wing media outlets and entertainment personalities. By the time their ideologies reaches the mind of your average voter they’ve been neatly repackaged as “hey we’re just asking some questions here, we just want to get the facts straight.”








  • One problem is that there’s a massive upfront cost to get into VR as a consumer. Even the cheaper headsets are several hundred dollars, similar to a full console purchase. Which means not a lot of people are going to invest in the hardware, which means there isn’t as much of a market to produce games for, which means not a lot of people are going to invest in the hardware, etc etc etc.

    On top of that, VR has the awkward problem of locomotion. Either you’re teleporting around the game world, getting motion sick moving around the game world, or standing in one place at all times. None of these options are ideal, and the only real solutions to this issue involve insanely pricy hardware purchases.

    Maybe one day we’ll figure it out, maybe we’ll all be living in tubes playing games with our minds or whatever.



  • Quit.

    The Office is a goofy workplace comedy when viewed through the lens of an audience member, but Michael Scott is an objectively terrible boss and a shitty person.

    He’s constantly making comments that are racist, sexist, or otherwise ignorant and unacceptable in the workplace.

    He can’t keep any information confidential, as seen when he outs Oscar for being gay.

    He refuses to let anyone be “above him” such as when he ruins Phyllis’ wedding because her father made a great toast, or when he gets kicked out of the boat party for refusing to let the captain do his job.

    “Oh but he cares so much about his employees! 🥺” No he doesn’t. That’s why he insists on making his employees tend to his slightly burnt foot instead of dealing with Dwight’s concussion. Oh, and let’s not forget the time he sabotaged Jim’s promotion by straight up slandering him to David Wallace.

    I would rather be unemployed than working for such an insufferable man child like Michael Scott. The Office might be fun to watch, but it would be hell to live through it every weekday from 8-5.
