It’s really nice to have an unapologetically leftist game that knows who the bad guys are. I can see this game acting as a blueprint, or a statement of intent. “These are the kinds of games we’re interested in making and publishing, with these clear politics, and we’re not afraid to do it and make those voices heard.” All that said, I did bounce off … Continue reading Tonight We Riot: A Micro-Review
Uber has laid off 3,000 more employees this week, according to a new report by the Wall Street Journal. This is following another round of 3,700 layoffs just two weeks prior. Uber’s business is down 80% in the time of COVID-19, and they’re bleeding out. But the blood isn’t their own. Like every other company has and will continue to do, they’ll happily sacrifice their … Continue reading Workers Shoulder The Burden Of Bleeding Giants
Hey. You made it. Chips are on the table, there’s coke in the fridge if you want. This is Toby, he doesn’t bite, but he does love people. You’re not allergic, right? Pie’ll be here in an hour. Feel free to put anything up on the ol’ tube, no one else is here yet. PowerWash Simulator is an oddly satisfying game that lets you clean … Continue reading What Else Is On? May 17th, 2020
This morning, Facebook announced that they are buying Giphy, the popular internet GIF repository, with the intention of integrating it with Instagram. Which means it’s only a matter of time before Facebook gets tired of their new toy and shuts them down for good, or maybe strip mines them for features before rebranding them to “InstaGIFs” or some horseshit. I am so goddamn sick of … Continue reading Acquisition Hell
Fuck yes, things are happening in Formula 1. Following Sebastian Vettel’s announcement that he would be parting ways with The Red Team™ at the end of this year, there was much speculation as to who would replace him at the storied Italian team, and how that would start changing the rest of the grid. Luckily, we did not have to wait long for an answer … Continue reading Sainz. To. Ferrari.

Jerry Stiller passed away yesterday and I did not find out until late in the evening. I knew him growing up as George Costanza’s father on Seinfeld, and Carrie Heffernan’s father on The King of Queens, probably his two most well-known roles. But his body of work was larger than that, in both the scope of roles he took, and the amount of time he … Continue reading RIP Jerry Stiller
There are no rules anymore. It’s 2020. You know this. If you’ve paid any attention to consumer tech in the past two years, you know that the companies that make phones have gotten both very rich and extremely bored, and so it is time to stunt on ’em. Samsung has been folding its phones in half in both directions, Motorola saw that as an opportunity … Continue reading This Weird Fuckin’ T-Phone Rips
Purchase Price: 101 Monday Morning Price: 63 Monday Afternoon Price: 102 Oh yes, folks. 102. That tiny bump betrays a coming larger bump. Happening this early in the week means it will probably be a smaller bump than might be otherwise possible, but after a few weeks of stinky trash prices, I will take what I can get. Brace for impact tomorrow afternoon or sometime … Continue reading This Afternoon's Turnips, May 11th 2020
Here we go again, folks. Day one of a new turnip cycle. Nothing but raw hope and possibility. I bought yesterday morning at a price of 101 Bells per turnip. I bought 1000 turnips, which has become my go-to amount for no other reason than I tend to have just the right amount of bells to buy that many come Sunday morning. This morning, Timmy … Continue reading This Morning's Turnips, May 11th 2020
