    The even bigger irony is that the only reason she was on SNL in the first place was to promote this very movie :p


    You sure about that?  I’m fairly confident they just looked out in the alley five minutes before air and found a chick with huge honkers to headline in order to own the libs or something.

    What happened with her? I'm a big fan of hers after watching Euphoria. 


    Sydney Sweeney went on SNL and showed cleavage which, apparently, is something woke leftists have destroyed.  She got propped up as some icon of what liberals have tried to destroy because no one sees a big titted blonde on TV anymore, which is odd because she’s famous for being on TV.  
     

    Anyway, a few weeks after she’s on SNL her new movies comes out which is about a pregnant nun and a presumably evil convent, and people were upset that somehow Hollywood was trying to take back Sydney Sweeney now that she had become a darling of the right.  
     

    So somehow Sweeney became an icon of the right because boobs despite the fact that conservatives constantly bitch up sexuality on TV.  Then, somehow, a movie that was written, filmed, and edited months to years ago was actually created specifically to make the right hate her.

    The only context i have about this game is that the absolute worst people on the internet are making it “a thing” and were initially going off about how it isn’t woke but now they’ve pivoted because one outfit has some titty lace that didn’t at some point and the PCs pubic bone seems like it was edited as well. What a world.


    The speed and stupidity of chud outrage is incredible.  The Syndey Sweeney fiasco was breathtaking to behold.

  4. Of all my friends, I easily buy the most games overall and the most new games by far.  Once I finally built a gaming PC a decade ago and the novelty of steam sales wore off, I basically never add to my backlog by buying older games.  Looking back at the past handful of years, the only older games I bought new that weren’t remakes or rereleases were Bloodborne because I finally got a PS5 and EDF 5.

     

    Even with that, I easily play more older games than new.  I play Vampire Survivors, Amobg Us, Slay the Spire, or Into the Breach on my phone constantly.  I dig out old classic games to play with my boys because they’re simpler and I know what’s in them.  I replay games I love all the time.  Unless a new game comes along and REALLY sucks me in like Valheim or Helldivers, I’m easily playing more than half of my games years out.  

  5. I don’t know, I’d be interested to know how those stats relate to history overall.  Just by pure math, games that came out within the last year are going to be less than .1% of all possible games, so I’d find it more surprising if they were in the majority somehow.  To me the only thing the so called forever games have done is consolidated the older games into a bunch of large silos instead of just tons of piles of disparate stuff.

    I can’t take Americans seriously on this topic is my point. They see the world through a myopic lens where all that matters is their comfort and connivence. Whereas we have the monopoly in military power, Israel doesn’t, we fight Iran it just inconveniences us for a little bit. 
     

    Israel fights them it’s a threat to their existence.

     

    But I am so tired of Americans and Europeans criticizing others for doing the exact same thing they/we do and have done. 


    I hope this doesn’t come across like me being a dick, I can understand where your emotions and feelings are coming from. 
     

    I genuinely think that a lot of time you’re arguing against imaginary liberals that don’t actually exist.  Like yeah, I imagine a lot of liberals are very vocal about the issue right in front of their faces that has the potential to impact their lives in a significant way.  The fact that they weren’t up in arms about a woman being executed for her clothing doesn’t mean they like that, support that, or are even indifferent to it.  In every day conversation, you’d be hard pressed to know my stance on fracking because I am a person who exists in the world and not a soundboard of my opinions stuck on replay, that doesn’t mean I don’t have one and it doesn’t mean I’m pro-fracking until proven otherwise. I guarantee that near enough as makes no difference all of the leftists arguing Israel should move on without escalating are also opposed to that woman’s killing and it’s weird to argue otherwise.  
     

    It’s the same with by saying that the US can’t throw stones because we’re all in a glass house which ignores the fact that tons of people were extremely opposed to throwing those stones and others were actively mislead into thinking it was a good idea in the first place.  Even after the heat of 9/11, the American public STILL had to be sold on the idea of invading Iraq, and we were fucking lied to in order to make it seem like we had a reason to do it.  It’s one of the few things people in this country, regardless of politics, largely view as a mistake we never should have made.  If you’re arguing that Israel should mimic the decisions we made post 9/11, then they are even stupider than we are because they got to watch us step on a rake and smack ourselves in the face over and over for twenty god damned years and now they want in on that sweet rake action.

  7. WWW.ENGADGET.COM

    Possibility Space, an independent game studio with employees distributed across the globe, was abruptly shut down today.

     

    You might know this as the game studio Austin Walker left Waypoint for.  A lot of the former employees are posting on the site that shall not be named if you want more information, but the reason the owner is giving is essentially that a Kotaku reporter reached out with questions regarding the game Possibility Space was working on.  Some of these details involved publishing and finance info, so the publisher “lost faith” in financing the project, so the game was canceled and the studio closed.  
     

    Who knows, lots of things are possible, but in a world where details leak to the press all the time, this seems like an insane overreaction.  It’s not like a build got out, and the article in question about the game hasn’t even been published.  The same umbrella company shuttered Crop Circle Games a few weeks ago after first furloughing people and then letting them know their jobs didn’t exist anymore immediately after GDC.

     

    It seems like awfully convenient timing to completely shutter two studios in as many months and to have it somehow be the studio’s fault and the fault of the internet’s favorite website whipping boy as opposed to poor choices from the parent company in any way.
