Insert 20-page essay about the late H.R. Giger's designs for the Alien xenomorph and facehugger were rather explicitly intended to be overtly sexual in nature, so this is not even slightly unrealistic when you get right down to it
Men in black,
but it's actually just 2 dudes that really, really, really like fucking aliens. And they wear black turtlenecks.

I'm presently trying to emulate the Nikko digiBLAST media/gaming handheld.
It runs Linux on a 180MHz ARM system-on-a-chip, and its controls work via an OHCI USB host, so I need to emulate a USB host.
It is proof beyond denial that there is indeed a God, and he is vengeful and angry at our hubris.

God help me if I ever hit Sandy's level of big-fish-ing past glories.
I just *can't* overblow past work.
Yeah, I added rabbits to Minecraft; my texture work sucked and the AI sucked, thank god other folks helped.
Meh, I made Helldivers 2's armory gender-agnostic, and did some other UI shit.
etc.

Does anyone have a link to any particular streamer or YouTuber who opted to play through the Order of Giants DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and actually did so from the initial start-point of the game? Everything I've found just has folks continuing from Vatican.

There's something universally correct when it comes to Charlie voicing the one furry in the whole trailer for that thing.
I've been wanting to take a stab at being a VO person for decades, and I now have receipts via Indiana Jones and the Great Circle's DLC, but, damn. Dude earned the W.

The whole situation is fucked, top to bottom, and it's not something that innocuous porn enthusiasts should have to deal with.
That said, records exist, and I would highly encourage anyone who was once part of the Patreon patronage for this project to throw a bit extra into the ring, directly.

Adult game dev Shame Games just abruptly lost its Patreon. No clear explanation why, and its staff cannot be paid. SG’s Aika literally has children to feed and is reliant on Patreon’s income to pay the bills

So far I haven't seen anyone point out, via a Google search even, a deep-cut joke in the Super Mario RPG remake: www.gamespot.com/articles/sup...
On SNES, the 6 hint notes were attributed to Magellan, DeGama, and Van Doren (2 each).
In the remake, the note authors are different... 🧵

Considering using my upcoming 3 months of free time to actually, finally, get my "The Untold History of UltraHLE" video out the door. Wish me the best of luck, it's going to be a doozy.

It's telling that as controversial a figure as Karl Jobst can still refer to rileycs_ by the correct gender, while a cowardly AI-slop-voiced goblin "CallOfShame" insists on misgendering her.
Like, guys you're saying the quiet part out loud. Keep doing so so we can keep throwing spitballs at bigots.

I wish racists would just admit to being racist.
It's so much quicker than saying "Immigrants don’t work… apart from my GP, my nurse, my teacher, my cabbie, my IT guy, my plumber, and the woman at the corner shop"

Charlie Kirk said firearm violence was an acceptable tradeoff for 2A, and that empathy is for the weak. So if you think about it, I'm reacting precisely how he would have wanted. If you're upset by a game developer with 2 decades of experience saying this, my only advice is to cry harder.

Interesting, as the left has also been profoundly unhelpful this weekend.
If you thought a headline like "Nazi-Shooting Game Studio Fires Dev for Comment on Shot Nazi" would be a headline that would gain instant traction, you'd somehow be wrong.
Even YouTubers have been notably absent in @-ing me.

By the way, I'm not limited to the loud-voiced folks that I'm specifically pinging. If you have some channel on social media that's LGBTQIA-aligned and want to boost the story of the dude who got fired from the nazi-shooting game studio for expressing tepid relief about a shot nazi, hit me up.

Still waiting to hear back. One would think a headline of "Nazi-Shooting Game Studio Drops Dev for Comment on Shot Nazi" would be a pretty gripping headline.
Plus it seems ZeniMax learned nothing from Leona. Let's remind them.

As I just explained to a former colleague on LinkedIn: The management at MachineGames dramatically underestimated the breadth and the number of contacts I have when it comes to game-related media. And they just handed me a headline on a silver platter. God help them.

Now that the DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great CIrcle is out, I have to admit something that's been haunting me about it for months -
- the area called "Cloaca Maxima".
I know, Latin and all, but I can't read it and see anything other than "biggest asshole".

One fascinating aspect of @legaleagle.tv's Taylor Swift video regarding master-recording rights that Devin didn't cover: Bulk-licensing.
Record labels demand eye-watering sums for individual master-recording licenses, but as a bulk deal, it gets shockingly cheap. Case in point: Music/rhythm games.

The thing about bandwagons vs. doing your own thing is that bandwagons use 2010-era game physics.
You can stand on them, and if you're really careful you can hang around for a while, but once they get going fast enough, you'll probably fall off.
