It is wild listening to the audiobook for Jeff Pearlman's USFL book because the back half is just "here's how Trump murdered this football league by doing most of the things he's doing as President"

Got some thoughts out on how the Metroid Prime 4 previews have been framed. Wanted to give some context and perspective as a viewer, as press, and as a Prime fan. youtu.be/33aUDA9KnMQ

Timing wasn't necessarily on purpose but I got a new tattoo inspired by a Murder by Death song the day before they played their last show last week. (My wife got a matching one but it feels weird also sharing a picture of her leg) (Also it's under second skin right now because it still healing)

Something Metroid Prime 4 related that's not about you-know-who...
The build I recently played had lots of helper text on-screen. You can turn off tutorials, which is nice, because I found that the info Samus got from scanning provided sufficient guidance
Couple of examples:
1st, with tutorial on

Listen I'm not saying Prime 4 is for the children, but watching my 7yo play Pokemon Legends Z-A and absolutely need the tutorial I saw people complain about being too long makes me think idk maybe having tutorial characters is good if we want more than a dozen people to play a sequel to an 18yo game

@aaronnagler.bsky.social heard on Transplants you'll be at the game on Sunday. If you find yourself among the tailgating before or after, I have a Carry The G with your name on it.

Imagine writing a preview for Metroid Prime but only based on the intro. It would be a linear game that's constantly telling you what to do.
Press can only cover what they're shown but context remains key. @jtsknight92.bsky.social takes a look at the reactions to Prime 4. youtu.be/33aUDA9KnMQ

tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true

Oh so I'm like, fully fully not giving that any mind. Got it.
Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:
"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀
"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀
“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees

Geoff Keighley really is the perfect representative of the gaming industry:
-unreservedly self serving
-pretends to care about the people actually making the product
-loves to make performative gestures that ultimately go nowhere and help no one
-would almost certainly sell out to the saudis

Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

There was a late era McCarthy game against the Giants (with McAdoo) that Green Bay won. It was a gross game and I remember feeling like it was an indictment on the McCarthy offense.
Anyway that's what last night's game felt like.

I just need to put this into the world because I can feel the wave of smugness coming from Philly near me:
Hey the Packers only proposed the tush push ban because their president was retiring this year and he took the heat for the other owners. At least the Packers' owner representative was honest.

We had to find out via the website!!! AND we asked what happened to the money!!
perhaps the most egregious thing that happened with the Future Class was when The Game Awards took money from Old Spice in the name of the FC & simply... pocketed it
it wasn't used to fund Future Class initiatives, it wasn't used to help lift marginalised developers
they just profited from us
