True for the game playing audience as well, although it's often hard to convince execs that the noise from a loud corner is not necessarily a big corner.
Probably a great time to remind up and coming people making or writing things about games... social media is not your primary audience.
It was true on the old site and it's true on this site too.

Imagine telling someone at a bar in 1989 that you were in all three of these movies and nobody ever believing you. And then when thewy asked who did you play you had to look at the floor and say '...Porkins. They... they named me Porkins.'
RIP William Hootkins. Thanks for all the memories!

Hey @2000ad.bsky.social! Now that Diamond has gone belly up how does my local comic store get copies of the mag? I've been told they have no idea how to order it anymore. Is it all over for me after 30 years of thrills?

This is actually hilariously sad. Such a pathetic pretense at a news network. Fox is to news what the WWF is to the UFC.
