A low-level media personality muckraking and yellow journalisming a blustering academic charlatan, while the circumstances around the charlatan go on unchallenged, is merely just a bit of fun that we dullard peasants get to enjoy and spectate now and again. I really wouldnt worry about it.

I will say, while I held very little love for Rooster Teeth, it has sucked the past few years seeing the remaining handful of independent media and gaming sites spawned during the early to mid-aughts get shuttered or hoovered up and conglomerated.

At least Rooster Teeth will receive a conclusive ending, unlikely poor Giant Bomb that is still shambling along as a shadow of its former self.

I don't want everything to become a platform.

What about older ones? Are Old Man Murray and Planet Quake still doing ok?

the most Corporate thing i can think of is in overwatch 2 you can set your profile to have a flag behind it including pride flags, and theres also pride flags with an Associated Character on it. theres exactly One character per pride flag (tracer for lesbian pride, etc) except the trans pride flag where theres no associated character. ftw

According to the data, Men are worth 0.000 Gender Equality, and Women are worth 5.000. Introducing a Trans character would be worth 2.500 Gender Equality, resulting in a net loss...

Actually the real best example of people obviously not caring about the subject of controversy was when the weird anti-woke people had to pretend to care about niche visual novel House of Fata Morgana, because it used the term male fragility.

haha, that's the upsetting Gothic Horror in a more Wuthering Heights way one with the super lacy visuals, correct?

Besides the people who stuck around and then went to stream and podcast... are there even "game journalists" anymore?

Did Lindsey Ellis ever get over getting trolled about Avatar: The Last Airbender? I dont blame her for not poasting or anything, it's fine.

My partner had borrowed her book from the library, and I was like, "Oh neat! It's cool seeing Transformers fanfic as a published library hardcover. It's cool seeing this in person. What a world!" not disparagingly at all! and she was halfway done with the book and all :stare:

Silent Hill is interested in implementing gameplay mechanics that induce negative emotional experiences for the player. When modern games include mechanics that do not produce dopamine, Sterling has a habit of crying foul and claiming that no person has ever appreciated or desired such design choices.

Silent Hill is from the good old days of game development, just ask any of the members of Team Silent :)

Why does it always seem to be like this with indie games

I don't think it is, per se, or even game dev in particular, it's just a lot harder to cover up in a small business vs large, tends to be conspicuously at odds with aesthetics and company values, plus ignoring culture war poo poo for easy points, and the very catty/gossipy/online nature of the gig, the consumer.. Gamers... tend to be insane as hell regardless of what they happen to believe in at the moment

Congrats! Do you feel well when you wake? Is it quality sleep? If so, celebrate that, and don't throw off the rhythm.
Working on getting there, myself.

It is very restful, very deep sleep, but waking up is an existential nightmare where I struggle to comprehend my most basic functions lol
