What if I told you that major video game publishers were using social media to instigate witch hunts against their competitors.

The governor of Tokyo revealed that they're designing an "umbrella shaped hat to keep the heat off 2020 Olympics attendees".
But this is Japan. We already have "umrella shaped hats" that are cheap, biodegradable, culturally relevant and good souvenirs.
What were they thinking.

There are videos on YouTube that can teach a complete novice how to legally port DOOM to the Nintendo Switch by themselves in 45 minutes.

Vile, unethical rage-bait media. Nickel and diming. Intentional use of addictive gambling models in kids' games. Risk hedging (political correctness, but for legal rather than moral reasons). Poor working conditions. Radicals exploiting worker dissatisfaction for their own gain. twitter.com/annandvirk/sta…

Kyoto Animation has made an official statement about last week's arsonist attack.
I've translated it into English here. twitter.com/kyoani/status/…

Lifetime sales for the Nintendo Switch have overtaken the PlayStation 4 in Japan.

My boss gifted me a Funko POP and I had to smile and act like that kind of harassment is okay.

Me watching video games, nerd culture, and the world in general devolve into an embarrassing nightmare while I nourish my non-idiot followers with good content.
135
I don't know how, and I didn't think it possible, but tumblr banning the worst of its community has made twitter an even bigger shithole.

I read this whole article and I love the anti-loot box bill even more now.
I hope Japan follows suit once it is enacted.

"Games ARE art".
Except when I don't like their content or the people who enjoy them.
Then, "games are toys".

Think you're pissed about Epic Games effectively delaying Outer Worlds for a year?
Just wait til Google pays some developer a billion dollars to make an entry in a popular series exclusive to the Stadia "service", and when Google inevitably kill Stadia it'll be gone forever.

No wonder Rich Stanton thinks that the gaming community have been silent about "Devotion".
Stanton has the gaming community blocked.
At least someone at Kotaku finally wrote a follow-up article, but it's just clickbait that is less informative than my tweets from months ago.

This art is not my cup of tea. It's got CalArts tropes in it. At least it's not some affront to God, like Thundercats Roar.

Why?

Wikipedia suddenly seems to be embroiled in an edit war over the title of this particular article about this particular day on which nothing in particular happened exactly 30 years ago wow that's so weird.

The yellow comment is a moderator of reddit's r/games board.
Why would you want to talk about video games on a forum full of people that don't like people who like video games?
みんなのおかん。ゲーム好き。Everyone's #01 Mom. I like video games.
