About the LGBTQ part: she was working at EA when she transitioned, and she recounted acceptance and support for trans people was codified in her workplace, in a time when transitioning often meant discrimination, rejection and even job loss.
People don’t always remember that EA were the “good guys” before they made bank with Sims and CoD.
I put these links separately from the main post because, although many people remember her for this story, she was a legend who worked on many other games and deserves to be remembered for other, much greater accomplishments.
I love how so many people on Reddit are acting like this is a complete shock. That site has been a cesspool of bots and targeted ads for years now, people still believed they were having real conversations with humans? I’d be surprised if legit content was higher than 50%.
If you like Max Payne, I also recommend Stranglehold. It’s a canonical sequel to John Woo’s Hard Boiled, and it’s a lot of fun, albeit on the short side.
I love GoG, but I wish it stopped getting games so late that, by the time they release on it, I’ve already bought them on two competing platforms.
Aside from that, this is a solid release. RE1make is one of the best horror games ever made: I was scared shitless even on my third playthrough. Highly recommended if you want a good game for Halloween night.
I signed this petition. I’ve also signed other petitions over the years, I regularly donate to WWF and do other activities that I deem worthy of my time and money.
Caring about games preservation doesn’t mean that I only care about games preservation.
Also, why is it that games preservation is a first world problem, but “stop putting ads everywhere” isn’t? Where do you draw the line?
Journalism at large is dangerously close to dying. People favour free click- and rage-bait headlines on Facebook over quality journalism. The latter can’t compete because quality costs money, while cheap quality articles oversaturate the market. AI only exacerbated the issue.
I have no attachment to Nintendo brands nor Mario Kart in particular. My sister bought a Mario Kart Wii game a few years back and I didn’t care much for it. Having grown up with CTR on PS1, and Spyro and Crash as platformers, I immensely enjoyed the remake.
I like how the kart handles, and the turbo mechanic is a lot of fun and has a lot of depth. But I suppose that MK fans have other things they enjoy from their franchise.
