  • I’ve been of the opinion that it hasn’t been accidental for a while now. No hate against poly, and I’m not entirely sure for what purpose.

    Maybe they want less introspective and intelligent people having kids (because they realize they can’t afford them instead of just having them on accident), so the next generation is more easily led?

    I dunno.














  • Yes, but. Big but.

    The devs of the games included in that email signed off on it before it went out. The version the devs were shown had no “runes” included.

    GOG has acknowledged that those runes can display on some devices distinctly as the symbol for the SS, so they did not send this email to subscribers subscribed in the German language. Instead of just using a different fucking symbol, or not using it twice in a row.

    As far as I understand it, those are pretty random runes, not specifically Slavic at all.

    Taken as a whole, it shows that they had some idea of how this would appear, and they went through with it anyway, for no obvious benefit.

    Not a good look.



  • Saw it last night. Fun for what it was. They knew they were making a camp-filled action comedy. There was some needless failed attempts to be serious about 3/4 of the way in when He-Man’s lack of control over his powers ends up getting his (in this version) asshole of a father killed and they try to redeem his father through his dying words, but otherwise it leaned into the camp.

    It’s not winning any awards, but it was fun, and seeing the cheap and weird toy designs given a Guardians of the Galaxy style makeover was interesting.
