  • A mystery for the ages, why does Microsoft buy so many gaming companies only to not use their IPs.

    If I owned Microsoft, I’d go fucking crazy

    “We’re putting Sheogorath, Crash Bandicoot, Master Chief, Joanna Dark, and Corvus from Heretic into Heroes of the Storm. New Spyro, New Banjo Kazooie, New Jet Force Gemini, fuck it we own Activision right? When’s the last time there was a Pitfall Harry game? Right now mother fucker! Wash it down with a bottle of Hexen 3! Maybe a new Battletoads that doesn’t suck? Sorry about that reboot, that was a little cringe. But ya know what’s not cringe? A Crash and Spyro crossover game that’s actually a 3D Platformer and isn’t a Skylanders game… But those of you who like Skylanders? Skylanders HD Remasters; toys no longer required! Bowser and DK in the Switch versions”

    Or at the very least put the ID Software games Activision owns onto Steam since Activision and ID are owned by the same comapny now (Heretic 2 and Wolfenstein (2009) are in danger of becoming lost media)

    Like I never got that, there are ID Software (which is now part of Bethesda) games that aren’t available because Activision owns them, but Bethesda and Activision are owned by the same guy now.





  • This. When I was a kid, I thought every man in the world had this envy of womanhood and that was the reason women were oversexualized in media, because men wished they looked like that.

    That it was just quietly accepted.

    Heck in Who Framed Roger Rabbit I thought the line “You don’t know how hard it is being a man, looking at a woman, looking the way you do.” Was a direct reference to the natural Venus Envy of the male gender.

    Nope just my trans ass misinterpreting an erection joke because its the 90s and families and media both aren’t allowed to talk about gender with any nuance yet.

    The various “Girl Power! Women can do anything!” Tropes were also something young me misinterpreted as “Venus Envy” being the natural state of society. Like women knew they were “superior” and were flaunting it to be mean.

    Sexism against women? Young me doesn’t know what that is or why fighting it is important. Believed in sexism against men though… I was so dumb and confused.
