No company is more dedicated to cowarding out on changing their protagonists than Capcom. They are so fucking good at backing down, it’s incredible.

Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.
Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.
An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.
We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

I can maybe buy the sedan owners saying they got it before Musk was publicly nuts (they didn’t, they just weren’t paying attention) but the Cybertruck? Really? You expect people to believe that shit?
My favorite line is “I don’t agree with politics” like, no shit dude, look where you work

I am at my parents’ house and they just watch CNN all day and it’s wild to me how mainstream news just takes the administration’s word literally on everything. It’s like a very gullible baby is telling you about their day.

Funny, my wife and I were talking about this just the other day and I said we're about to be flooded with AI videos that purport to be GTA6. And they'll be believable all across the quality spectrum because of the initial leaks.
Increasingly convincing AI-generated GTA 6 gameplay "leaks" are going viral and getting millions of views on social media, which seems unable to stop them from happening. https://bit.ly/4p6yv7p

Additional point: Clair Obscur's third act is a thematic loop about how delaying the inevitable isn't healthy. You may feel temporarily good, you might even feel like a God among ants, but all you're doing is becoming a rotting husk and running away from inevitability.
Seeing other narrative design people say that Clair Obscur had a bad 3rd act or bad ending(s)…I just can’t follow you there man. That shit ruled. Sorry. You break the combat wide fucking open and then get your choice of doing genocide or walking toward Omelas and saying “torturing that child rocks”

In bengali, tomorrow and yesterday are casually shortened to the same word, and you have to use context to figure out which one the person means.

This whole thing feels remarkably like the beginnings of Gamergate except everyone involved sucks
this fuckin guy ...dropping allegations of journalistic malpractice and source betrayal in separate piece meal events like it’s delicious media gossip and then writing, “we haven’t reached the halfway point, and I haven’t yet described the most bizarre, consequential, and newsworthy events”

Fries in the remains of buffalo wings is also incredible.
Not just buffalo sauce. The sauce that has been left behind by buffalo wings. There is a difference.
