⚠️⚠️⚠️ WARNING: IF YOU HAVENT DONE SO ALREADY, BREAK THE SCREEN TO YOUR CELL PHONE NOW !!!
BREAK THE SCREEN TO YOUR CELL PHONE NOW.
rimworld tries to be all serious about "every choice matters and one fuck up ruins it all" but nobody with a life is gonna sit through 50 hours of colony sim gameplay to watch all their guys get killed by a random number generator hitting the max range and one tapping you
video games are a potent vector for mortality, consequence, but many games that try to treat these things severely through mechanics undermine themselves by having quicksave/quickload, player alt-f4ing out, etc., undermining the threat of the situation

The adult men lining up to buy Pokemon cards should be placed under the same type of conservatorship as Britney Spears was
Hey @BestBuy, what an absolute disaster.
I waited 2 hours before opening with ~30 people ahead of me.
Then HUNDREDS emerged from their cars to “join friends” in line.
4 hours wasted. No Pokémon 30th Anniversary products. Just a booster bundle and a few packs.
To top it off, I left my chair behind. Your customer service says I need to DRIVE AN HOUR BACK just to find out if it's there.
Apparently nobody can call the store.
Meanwhile, @GameStop uses preorders and organized systems instead of turning releases into a free-for-all.
Give people numbers. Enforce the line. Respect customers' time.
I'm curious: Was anyone else's Pokémon release this poorly managed, or did I just find the worst Best Buy experience imaginable?

I always liked fire ants growing up because they mapped neatly to my childhood worldview. Of course there would be a fire type version of ants that are red and are even more powerful than regular ants.

Hayao Miyazaki on modern anime, via Roland Kelts the author of 'Japanamerica'
"Hayao Miyazaki said to me at one point: 'The problem with young anime artists today is that the only thing they study is anime. When we were young, we studied French literature, we studied impressionism, we read Dostoevsky. We swallowed everything. And then we went and created original anime. But if you grow up and all you watch is anime, you're just regurgitating spinning wheels.'"
He also spoke about his work on the upcoming documentary 'Tezuka! God of Manga'
