If losing TGA this year means Kojima gets hyper competitive again then that's an absolute win for everyone

This is an extremely misleading "list of bad people" and I don't think OP was intending it to be that way. If we're talking about Kraft or Starbucks, by all means, make that boycott list. With this list, no creators were ever contacted about the extent of involvement in their channel.
Here's a pretty incomplete list of YouTube channels owned or funded by private equity.

irked at TGA for its completely batshit results while trying to remind myself that being mad at TGA results is the classic blunder

2026 is rock and roll time. We started a band inspired by the emo greats like Jimmy Eat World, Further Seems Forever and Blink 182. It’s just really good fun playing this type of music again

I wrote it and am so unbelievably proud of the entire team for their crazy hard work on this video. Editing on point, jirard and his crew did unbelievably well on the live action bits, just cannot say enough good things. I’m lucky to be a part of this team and can’t wait to show off the next video

crank take i have is that a lot of people/you guys need to learn to distinguish between when stuff is good/bad and when you're simply no longer the target demographic

I would like to formally recuse myself from the "metroid fan" group if that means being lumped in with crybaby weirdos that need outrage to feel like their opinion matters. Prime 4 looks great and one NPC has no bearing on my interest. Losers need more hobbies if this "ruins the game".

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

My goal on this site is to never follow too many people. If I can't see all the posts I care about in ten minutes, I'm officially "doomscrolling" and folks are getting purged. Social media should be a fart, never a subway shart

Always feel like a man of the people when people "access" my music library. All these pieces in the collection are yours to peruse and enjoy, you owe me nothing but the joy that you bring yourself.

The second this platform takes a nosedive, I’m out. It isnt fucking fun or worth it if I dont have control
There was already a *lot* going on with Bluesky, and now it's under even more pressure. I wrote about how I think about moderation, affordances, expectations, human needs, and powerful trolls for @techpolicypress.bsky.social

Early concept art for the Super Mario Bros. Super Show suggesting the cartoon was planned to have animated public service announcements. While Captain Lou Albano did a similar PSA wearing a Mario hat ("if you do drugs, you go to Hell before you die"), that one was live-action.

Have you ever been lost in a video game level, wandering empty halls, until you know you're going the right way because you finally run into enemies? Because you don't know what to do without conflict? Well some people live their real lives that way

I often fantasize about big artists being sicced onto a crazy fusion record or singing oldies tunes live in a cigar room with no cameras
what gets me is how/why a billionaire musician would want to just keep making the same pop stuff every couple of years, she should be on her third krautjazz fusion record by now not whatever it is she's doing, imo
