Thinking about how when I was in college, there were these LAN parties where the guy hosting them (who also road a longboard skateboard around campus) would just make like dozens of dumplings for people, so we started calling them โ€œDumpling Parties.โ€ What a time to be alive.

Season 3 of The Bear can feel like a lot of noise without much action, but I think the pace highlights how its characters relate to their work, and if they can ever be less fucked up about it

imo it's really cool that Aftermath is both an entertainment journalism site and also a site *about* entertainment journalism

the fact that most of the scenery you can pick up and use as a weapon is so fun. Also check every corner for the good stuff like baseball bats, pistols, and other secrets! It's like if DOOM said "yeah pick up that rock and throw it at that demon that'll teach them."

while numerous companies quickly distanced themselves from dr disrespect, including 2k games, which intends to patch him out of nba 2k24, a handful of studios whose games contain dr disrespect skins have yet to even state if they plan to remove them

The best conversations about FromSoftware games happen well after they are out, and now that I have finished and sat with Shadow of The Erdtree, an expansion I like, I think it's worth talking about the things it does and does not do well. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/elden-ring-s...

twitch has finally suspended nickmercs, a popular streamer who's been spewing anti-trans rhetoric for months, because he used an anti-trans slur. but the damage has already been done, and if twitch doesn't take further action, it will likely continue

Just like that, it's already time for another stream day. We're going live on Twitch at 4 PM ET with special guest @adashtra.bsky.social to discuss Dr Disrespect's Twitch ban and how the reason behind it finally came to light. Also: Elden Ring, because how could we not?

I've been on the internet a long, long time, and unfortunately this is true Huge communities like this just become self-sustaining bubbles. He's not going to be getting big sponsorships anymore (well, at least for a few years lol) but he'll have merch and other, smaller revenue streams

"These fans will continue working โ€˜round the clock to discredit claims against a man they perceive to be Their Boy, who in turn barely perceives them at all." Oh my God, he's literally the Vic Mignogna of video game shout men.

I was seeing this TikTok and it's so scummy. Instead of asking (non-union) fans to willing send free voice work for characters in your game that you will likely use with generative AI in the future without their permission, just... you know... fucking pay voice actors!
