I was always a fan of ahmed best as an actor and im just really happy to see them shine once again in the franchise.

Come to think of it, One of the best acted characters in the prequels was Jar Jar. The movements, characterization and emoting were dead on to what was given to them. Thats what a good actor does, @ahmedbest fully brought to life the character.

This is perhaps the most powerful evidence weve seen yet about elon musk not being a tech genius.

I read that NYT article about JK Rowling. She wants to exclude transpeople from woman spaces, and thats transphobic because trans woman are woman. It feels like a rather dated article that missed the conversation by about 10 years. NYT is usually known for more thoughtful stuff?

There is a hole people fall into when learning information that's really odd. I dunno if anyone has written about it. 1) learn a simple thing 2) learn a surprising twist (that may not be true) 3) refuse to learn more after step 2

Vrising is an open-world survival, co-op online game, that sold super well and is in early access with an expectation of updates. They had the expectation because of the way that game is. Theres no need to extrapolate that into a global culture shift we dont see in sales data.

Older #gamedev have to understand: an entire generation of gamers grew up with #Minecraft or #Roblox, games with infinite replayability. Those gamers have the "buy it for life" mentality: why would they be happy with your game if there's nothing to do after 400 hours? 1/4 twitter.com/AlfredBaudisch…

I will never hire anyone who uses AI as any part of their workflow, unless that ai is trained only off works they have full ownership of. This is so obviously what the law should be on this issue. Its wrong to use someone elses data without approval. Its data privacy.

Please dont buy the upcoming harry potter game because it supports its creator who is transphobic. But if you do buy it, please dont be a spokesperson for it because seeing that online is going to hurt people who already deal with a lot of negativity.

Its almost unbelievable how many people believe a reviewer needs to finish a game to make a review. If someone says this i have to do a forensics investigation about where thing went wrong.

Geoff keighley is also one of the nicest people ive ever encountered in game dev and really felt like he looked out for games he liked and wanted to give spotlights to. Im actually really happy they are doing well.

fun fact: geoff keighley's parents are IMAX executives twitter.com/IMAX/status/13

One of the biggest swings and missing of the review collective. Digimon World 1. I can only imagine that they werent primed yet for a perma-death roguelike rpg. games like a 7-9 at its worst.

What’s the most critically mid game you enjoyed? I think for me it might be Anthem.

Come on. He was ceo for 12 months total, but in q1+q2 2022, before elon, twitter was positive in revenue +243m WITH 7500 employees compared to the -221m Parag joined in at. So yes hell find work. People just want to boo at the opposite team.
Quote Tweet
The former CEO of Twitter, Parag Agrawal, has gotten 0 offers to work for anyone else since Elon Musk fired him. Speaks for itself! 🤣

For whomever on twitter thats curious what happens when the big advertisers pause ads on a platform. Its just an auction, so it just goes to the 2nd highest bidder to fill the volume. This probably lowers some prices but not as huge a cpm drop as youd think.

The ads on this site are great right now

Twitter jumped from 3900 to 7500 across 2019 and 2022 and their revenue gross increased from 3 to 5 billion. What an embarrassing and disrespectful take about people who did good work at twitter who just got layed off.
Quote Tweet
Can someone tell me what the fired Twitter employees did all day? No, seriously. Elon fired 75% of them and Twitter still works the same.

I cant believe people are falling for the Disney Bob Chapek trick. Chapeks job at disney was to do all the tough choices, layoffs and unpopular but profit gaining moves they always wanted. And now iger gets to come back and be good cop.

Will readers understand this time that a reviewer is essentially a proxy for a like minded fan and not universal? And thats okay. If someone doesnt relate youre not their demographic. Cool.
Quote Tweet
tbh it makes perfect sense if straight men are largely giving bayonetta 3 great scores. the game is made explicitly for them. sorry if this tweet sounds mean or whatever but it's simply the facts of the matter as presented clearly by the game itself.

Kanye probably is saying these things to get out of his recently extended Adidas contract. As he has already stated a motive of leaving gap and starting their own brand. He pointed them out in multiple interviews and adidas has a certain german past that they are sensitive about.
Really the take away from the whole hellena taylor situation is how many of the "videogame experts/veterans" were lying about their expertise and were simply vultures.

Yeah she said some misleading stuff, but did she deserve more money or what? I feel like whatever argument for giving more probably would also apply to the other hundreds of people on the project too.
Quote Tweet
Former Bayonetta voice actor Hellena Taylor now confirms my reporting that she was offered at least $15,000 and that the final offer was for a cameo, despite the claims in a video that went viral last week:

tldr why not give residuals. If its a low number you should just do a milestone bonus instead because residuals need lawyering and accounting maintaince. Why spend 10k to hand out 50k When you could have just handed a 60k bonus. Theres no performance benefit.

To elaborate more, its also in how negotiations went, her counter offer was never mentioned and that makes it impossible to know how unfair, unjust, immoral anyone was acting. And yet everyones just swinging on everyone, jennifer hale too for some reason? It was senseless.

Two things can be true at the same time.both that it takes 5 days of 4 hours recording to do the entire game AND that she deserves more than 20k, AND that she deserves more on principle regardless of additional value added AND that platnum offered her a rate that was standard.

This especially sucks because the public reaction to the truth is just gonna be more misunderstanding and confusion. The public is just wildly saying stuff with no understanding about guild rates, how much time it takes to record, agents, anything.
Quote Tweet
it is exhausting enough seeing so many people outside your industry falsely act like they know the ins and outs, spreading misinformation, and just being flat-out wrong about facts it is infinitely more exhausting seeing people IN your industry making the exact same mistakes

I want to see some sharper attacks that are about how bayo voice is iconic and for some reason we dont have all ships rise with the tides. That guild rates are too low. That contracts dont protect voices from being hot swapped for fun after bad negotiations

This is my absolute chaos XY chaos plus maximum devils advocate explaination. (Forgive me) You could post violating content on an alt and then have big channels playlist it with a big following to spread it without any downsides if you didnt get a strike for a public playlist.
Quote Tweet
scarily bad decision youtube has made: nuke entire playlists if a single video is determined to be breaking TOS and give the PLAYLIST CREATOR a strike. in theory, someone w/ vids on your playlist could intentionally get you banned by adding hateful text to their title/description twitter.com/soaroz/status/…
