  • Man what a perfect example of how not to run a campaign. $150 million spent and a 30 point margin loss to the lead. What do you expect from the team who had the idiotic idea to do an audio only announcement on Twitter. Man what was going on in that meeting. “Heya meatball Ron, you know Twitter, the social media site that ranks 4, the company that shaved off half its market cap in the past year, where a majority of workers were fired or quit, where the owner had his brother take out server back ups to a rented van, the place that could face lawsuits from regulatory bodies, and, whose owner uses a fat roll build in Elden ring cuz he equips 2 shields in his left hand slots, and whose company currently has a non-existent legal department? Yeah we want to partner with them.”


  • I also bounced off Control. Really wanted to like it. 3D metrovania in a SCP inspired setting ,how cool is that. The game is a technical marvel. How Remedy got that game to run on base PS4; I will never know. However the gunplay just feels off. I don’t like how the gun recharges instead of an ammo reload system. I feel like I’m too squishy. The weapon mods feel materially pointless. Don’t get me the wrong the setting so super unique. Most of my time playing was spent glossing over all the lore bits. “Threshold Kids” is horrifically fascinating. As if it came straight from creepy pasta. I wonder if I would enjoy Control way more if it was a limited series on Apple TV.
