speaking of bad culture you love when you're an idiot babby, wing commander 3 was p. awesome when i played it in the 1990s and i'm p. sure it's actually terrible to the point that i have like zero desire to play it again. chris robert's kickstarted attempt to revive his career as a maker of bad wannabe ww2 movies in fmv cutscene form appears to finally be melting down the way everyone thought it would. if you haven't checked out the shart citizen thread in a while because it was getting boring, skim through the past two-ish weeks

(a bunch of the drama was kicked up by extensive, on-point public criticism of the project by none other than DEREK SMART! mixed with an assload of self promotion because DEREK SMART, but holy lol we are through the looking glass. for added comedy george "duke nukem forever" broussard recently tweeted an admonishment to stop buying pixel ships for hundreds of dollars you idiots)

there have been good penny arcades, and the artist has actually tried to learn art

that being said, their extreme level of success has made them really high on their own farts
