#Embargo
i no longer work for a publication that has to publish reviews in time for embargo as a traffic play (which is good bc we are also a small publication that is not always given codes in time; i hope someday we get there). that said, i wish readers could reconsider the value of reviews at embargo

Su obra maestra.
Pienso esto de sus publicaciones cada día, pero hoy, sin embargo, también.

i think there is a big external prestige afforded to the people who "get" to do those embargo reviews for major AAA games but i highkey wish that would go away too. it's a huge amount of pressure. to this day i run across random comments from people still mad at me about my tlou2 embargo day review.

Caiu o embargo de review do remake de Ocarina of Time e aparentemente é mesmo um remake de Ocarina of Time.

Want je moet wel je bondgenoten steunen bij het uithongeren van een eiland wat niets terug kan doen?

if you want to experience a game in the way that a regular degular person does, you need to do the opposite of what a day one embargo review does. you need to take your time with it, explore, try things, not just race to the finish. i never read day one embargo reviews because they're not reality.

Protesters march through the streets of Leeds, UK, demanding an end to the Israeli genocide in Gaza and an arms embargo on Israel.

Agora que caiu o embargo de Godzilla Minus Zero: é muito melodrama para o meu gosto, mas ver o antiamericanismo do filme dias depois da vitória do Lula foi... especial.

I think we are maybe a year until an arms embargo is being openly discussed

Looks like the embargo is up! Ocarina reviews are trickling out

Wrote about how critics and readers and games are poorly served by the typical embargo length ... in 2021

(Relatedly I don’t know if Israel has in any way prepared the upcoming Jew Who Wants To Embargo Arms to Israel vs Nazi Who Says Hormuz Is Closed Because The Jews Hypnotised Trump election. Ossoff is like 80th percentile pro Palestine)

Y sin embargo, algunos descendientes de aquellos 4000, votarán al verdugo que los dejó huérfanos.

Political consultant Peter Feld says the midterms were a rebuke of Trump, the Iran war, and Israel. But with AIPAC adapting and J Street rising, he warns progressives must push for a full arms embargo and resist the capture of their new champions.
The ‘blue wave’ is a defeat for Israel, but the left’s work is just beginning

i know this is a dream of a culture change that will probably not happen for another decade or so. but, maybe it will as publications increasingly rely on other income streams besides advertising (which demands traffic, which therefore demands stuff like reviews & huge guides packages at embargo)

playing a game for embargo will always make me kind of hate the game. you're crunching for days, maybe weeks, and then you're forced to summarize that experience into a piece of writing, also on a crunch. it's also that you're having an experience no one else will have--no one plays games like that.

but i think we all know and have known for a very long time that even the reviewers who manage to beat a game in time for embargo don't always end up agreeing with their own opinion that they crammed in a fugue state. the best critical work happens in the weeks & months following that wild-ass rush.

Paní učitelky prý uvalily embargo na slovo řepa a všechno bylo v pořádku. Když jsem chlapínka vyzvedávala, sám mi v první větě řekl, že řepa nebyla, ale že ji ochutnal a byla dobrá 🙈😁

i’ll happily eat my hat if they put an arms embargo on israel and reverse sanctions on iran but i’m not sure the people of palestine, iran, and the global south impacted by oil shortages can wait til january 21st
