But God-damned this was sad news. I won't lie, I kinda felt with Dan's disappointment in Death Stranding after being a Kojima-mark for so long, the intensity of gaming interest had waned a bit.
I don't really care for wrestling but I sure as hell am gonna continue supporting Panning the Stream on Patreon and listening to his voice every week.
Wow, it took me a while to realize that wasn't Maria Bamford - Heather Anne-Campbell looks just like Bamford in the title picture and the show is even hosted on Earwolf. :(
I feel a weird anxiety about Google entering the videogame market. Although I am a programmer with friends who work at the company, it does seem a bit too big to fail rather than a passionate option for gamers to embrace.
Oh well, hopefully they gimme a job and I can work from the inside of the Behemoth to fight "the Man"...
Thank you so much for this piece. I must admit that I never read the Guest Columns, but your screenshot of DA:I caught my attention. I am a Colombian Male in NYC who got away with looking slightly Italian/Greek; which in Queens helped me get by with a lot of older people. I know I certainly didn't encounter as much blatant racism or assumptions on who I was, but I certainly had a really fucking hard time figuring out where I fit in, or even where I wanted to fit in. I still have those issues as a now 31-year old man, but I feel like I am getting comfortable with the color of my skin, and the hair my Afro-Colombian granny gave me. I find myself really concerned with the treatment of non-white Americans by cops, even while having cops in my family and having been a follow-up call away from joining NYPD myself. There are a lot of ideas/conflicts in my head, and while I do hate the idea of "social activism" to a certain degree because I only ever see my white, successful friends post things and my initial reaction is "Okay there Mr/Mrs Suburbia." - I really loved your take on the social commentary within DAI and how it might reflect a non-white childhood, even if I seem to have white-washed it myself. Thank you. (Sorry, I never post things online so apologies if this was a bit too much rambling)
Wow, is that seriously the name of this stupid product?! Kingdom Hearts is approaching Street Fighter 2-level of releasing tons of versions and side-products between actual numbered versions of the series. I don't care about Kingdom Hearts since playing the second game close to a decade ago now, but fucking hell, just release Kingdom Hearts 3 -"Let It Go" Edition already so we can move on (I will prob end up playing it at some point - but refuse to waste my time with these side-pieces).
