why i haven't touched the DCU Lanterns shows post episode 3, the moment i heard the "are you afraid?" line i knew the writers know jack shit about Green Lanterns
being a lantern isn't about being fearless, it's about overcoming your fear and doing the right thing

I really wish people who are clearly not having fun with the show anymore would just drop it instead of reacting to every single thing we get with vitriol.
Like- for their sake. It legit cannot be healthy to spend so much time angry and bitter, a 2D cartoon isn't worth having entire days ruined

yellow paint haters will continue to be vindicated
Yeah this sounds so rough oh my goodness. I think we are on peoples last straw when it comes to tolerating AAA “safeness” in game design.

normally, i might agree with this (the accessibility part anyway), but the problem comes in when you realize that most developers' idea of """difficulty""" is "enemy hit harder/you hit like a pool noodle", while this is nothing new, i'm starting to really get sick of that trope
not a big fan of the “insomniac thinks your an idiot” narrative. especially when they’re known for having a LOT of accessibility/difficulty features
this is dark souls easy mode all over again.
if you know you’re not the less-experienced player the devs want to attract, change the difficulty.

this bit from skill up's review of wolverine knocked me on my ass, it feels like something that wouldve come out of one of those focus m parody videos but its in a real triple A game

utterly embarrassing that there are bright, cutesy games back in the 90's made for children that treated you more like you were an adult and can solve basic problems than a dark, gritty, and bloody one made for grown adults
if this is what you get for paying over $800 in hardware, we're cooked

Gen-AI controversy aside, after 30 minutes with Crazy Taxi: World Tour, it feels like classic arcade Sega - and it's an absolute blast

We honestly don’t blame anyone who sees shit like this and decides they’re sticking with indies and retro for the foreseeable future. Though it’s worth keeping in mind that 80% of the games headlining these shows are rarely worth your time, anyway.

i don't know if it's just me, but modern media reviews are just kinda boring to watch now? like, for people who were willing to shell out for all the equipment they have, their passion doesn't really reflect in their work imo

Gang I worked marketing for a multimillion dollar budget organization that needed advertisement conversion to survive.
Elon was throwing 10k at us to use for ad boosting, and I have seen the return metrics. *They are **Shit**.*
We had our ads get literal nazis in the comments. For Shakespeare.

Evidence is already accruing that spending time on Twitter pulls ppl to the right, bc the algorithm feeds you horrible stuff.
And again: academics are likely more vulnerable, bc they convince themselves they are less.
