I'm terrible at goodbyes, John. You were my mentor, partner, and most importantly - friend. You always tried to act so serious, but were really a giant goofball. Getting you to show the world that was my constant goal and supreme joy. Thank you for being in my life
@Totalbiscuit
Saw some dude ranting how the new Dead Space was “woke trash”, and I couldn’t figure out what the hell he was talking about.
It’s gender neutral bathrooms. They made them gender neutral in the remake.
Imagine being upset about the state of bathrooms in the 25th century.
I'm no PR specialist, but something about posting this to the account of a show that is supposed to honor developers, writers, actors, and other talent associated with games is wild.
These are the most viewed.
I promise you, THE BEST is someone you probably haven’t heard of who puts on an amazing show to like 50 viewers and they all leave happier than when they got there.
Views don’t equal quality.

Wondering why so many YouTubers are quitting lately?
It’s either
1. They made bank, but are burnt out
2. They have yet to make it, and are burnt out
3. It’s no longer something they love, cause they burnt out
4. YouTube changed the rules again, and look, burnout!
That’s it
A few of you, I think, read this wrong and have been angrily DMing to let me know women DO have hair. I promise you, I know this. ❤️
I’m just sharing another persons hot take.
Fuck this whole "we saved babies" nonsense. You don't care about babies. Definitely not when they're gunned down in school.
You care about control.
You want to tell others how to live based on a twisted, politicized idea of Christianity. Jesus would be so fucking disgusted.
I'M BEGGING AAA COMPANIES TO STOP TAKING AWAY THE WRONG LESSON EVERY DAMN TIME.
It wasn't a flop cause single player shooter. It was a flop cause you spent too much, barely marketed it, and dropped it right between BG3 and Starfield - the biggest single player games of the year.
Watching a streamer play a story heavy game, get to an important moment of tension and drama, then turn away and say "Thank you DoMe22 for the 8 months" is brain breaking for me.
It's my streamer ick. I hate it. Just hate it.
I turned off the news.
They keep talking about Millennials going on spring break and putting people in danger...
The youngest millennial is 26!
We’re not kids. We’re the hospital workers, grocery store workers, and essential personnel sacrificing to keep you alive boomer.

. If you use a damage meter, and then mention it in game - say to harass another player- that’s ban worthy. I’m not even joking.
Leave that shit back in the game you just left. Cause I’d really like you to relax and enjoy this new experience.
Streamers work themselves to death. They post things like “I streamed 15 hours every day for 60 days!” and are celebrated for it. It’s not only unhealthy but feeds into the cycle of subs/money equating to happiness. It’s causes illness/depression - but also the industry standard.
Finding out that Scott Cawthon has been donating to anti-LGBTQIA politicians, while somehow creating a franchise of games that single handily spawned a whole generation of furries has got me like
Hi, my name is Jesse Cox.
I paid back $60,000 in student loans.
I was in debt for all of my 20s.
I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I'm happy loans are being forgiven for people.
Empathy. Learn to have it.
Don't come asking me about the elections.
I have spent the last 4 years being harassed by the alt-right.
My face is literally on memes about how the left is ruining masculinity.
I have been called every name imaginable.
So I say this, one last time.
Vote his ass out.
Some one explain to me like I’m 5 how the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard is “a deal that benefits gamers and allows more competition”?
How does fewer and fewer companies owning more and more do this? What is the benefit to the gamer?
The legal system worked:
A fair and neutral court has reached the correct conclusion about Activision Blizzard’s merger with Microsoft based on facts and the law.
The judge’s ruling rejects the FTC’s ideologically-driven attempt to prevent a deal that benefits gamers and allows
Seeing a lot of crap being posted about women streamers lately. A lot of “we have to take back our twitch! It’s for nerds not titty streamers! They are ruining the community and stealing views!” Where do I even start...
Just a friendly reminder that in 2024 most companies don’t exist to make good products, they exist to make profits for shareholders.
If you feel like the quality of EVERYTHING has declined and yet somehow costs more - it’s fuckers like this who did it.
Embracer says it's looking out for shareholders after cutting almost 1,400 jobs
"Our overruling principle is to always maximize shareholder value in any given situation"
I will never understand how people can watch me for 10+ years and not understand that I am EXTREMELY liberal.
I have no clue why I still get comments like "you think it's fine to have pronouns in games?! I thought we were better than that?"
Like what?!
Sometimes I feel like I don't belong in any "influencer" ecosystem. Youtube is too hollywood and scummy. Twitch is too cliquey and egotistical. I have no desire to take a million photos for insta. When on set I have more in common with the camera man than other actors. Who am I?
I only managed to take 3 photos at

If you really want things to change. Uninstall the games. Unsub. Don’t stream their titles.
No one wants to punish the many good people there, but corporations do not change unless it hurts them financially.
I see 60fps trending...
In honor of TB and his years of advocacy - if PS5 and Xbox Series X aren't running games at 60fps there is no reason to buy a new console.
Shameful there's even a discussion that games might release in 30 for a console, yet will do 60 on PC these days
You know what I REALLY hate. All these people wanting to cosplay
#Karlach
. I just can't stand it. Oh and FAN ART?! Hate that too!
It would just piss me off if people started replying to this post with Karlach cosplay/Fan Art. You'd just get me SO worked up!
I dare you cowards!
Tonight and tomorrow you're going to see many fake Ukraine tweets by clout chasers.
I've already seen fabricated explosion videos, misused images from other conflicts, and "battle maps".
Yes, an invasion IS happening. But don't spread disinformation. Research the tweet/tweeter
TIPPING CULTURE IS TRASH
It's a guilt trip designed by corpos to trick you into giving workers money for simply doing their job - a job they are criminally underpaid for - so they don't have to.
Employers should pay a living wage. That's it.
Watching people get upset over this is hilarious. It’s fucking cyberpunk! The whole point is future tech making the human body limitless in imagination and scope.
I still think about that fact that Samwise Gamgee traveled across the world and carried his best friend up a volcano in order to gain the courage to ask out a girl who was already interested in him.
Today I got quite a few notifications about how incel message boards are hating on me.
Good.
If you check it out, make sure to remind them of my numerous female friends and the romantic/sexual relationships I've had with women despite being a fat npc soyboy libtard cuck😎🤙
DPS chief Steven McGraw: “We haven’t gotten into the why [motive]. We know the individual was also into cyber gaming in that regard, and group gaming.”
The Last Jedi is trending...
so I'm gonna say what needs to be said:
Even with flaws, Last Jedi is the best of the new trilogy.
Force Awakens was JJ going "remember this?" for 2 hours.
Rise of Skywalker was a irredeemable mess.
The Last Jedi was the best one.
Just a friendly reminder, for every human trashpile on youtube, there are hundreds of amazingly talented people who would love to have your viewership :)
I know this might be corny, but god damn

I got a little emotional.

has some of the best, most varied music in gaming.
But sometimes it transcends the medium and gives us one of the most beautiful, truly epic moments- not just in games, but dare I say all media as well.
This build up is just amazing.
@FF_XIV_EN
Remember that time we made a show called Good Game, about an esports team, a woman who joins them, and their attempts to be taken seriously in the gaming world?
Well Hollywood just decided to make the exact same show, with the same name, and same premise
Final Fantasy XIV is literally about confronting hopelessness, despair, existential dread - and coming out the other side.
It's beautiful stuff.
Also you get a pretty stellar peptalk from a horny dragon at the edge of the universe. So that's worth the price of admission.
the physical ailments in your life, the gnawing spiritual emptiness in you soul, the constant longing for something you cannot define, all of these can be fixed by simply playing the right rpg
Watching Final Fantasy 16 be the thing that pushes my YouTube channel to a million subs is so wild.
It was Final Fantasy that made me fall in love with games in the 90s.
And here we are 30 years later.

You know what universally sucks? Being head over heels for someone who has zero interest in you.
That always sucks. Doesn't matter if you're 16 or 25 or 39.
You think it would get easier, but it doesn't.
Just gotta take the hit to your ego and move on
To my fellow creators (especially on twitch), I cannot stress this enough:
Don't put all your eggs in one online basket. You don't own your content. You don't own the platform you operate on. At any point that could be taken away from you.
It's not a family, it's a business.
Teachers.
On their hands and knees.
Gathering 1 dollar bills for the amusement of a crowd.
How degrading.
How disrespectful to the people you put in charge of educating your children.
Look, I'm just gonna say this - but I say it out of love.
Some of you take D&D too damn seriously.
It's still a game with friends, even if you trying to make a business out of it.
Try to have fun first, then you can figure out how to be the next critical role later.
I know I'm gonna get shredded for this as being insensitive, but some of my peers need to stop posting only negative stuff. It's ok to have a bad day and vent, but some of you have literally made it your brand. After awhile it wears people down. I love you, but I can't follow you
heads up
if you are trying to contact me for ANYTHING you have 2 days.
Thursday I forgo all bonds of fellowship and spend as many hours as required with a spikey haired boy, his two girlfriends, a fireproof dogcat, and an ecoterrorist.

Just remember, no matter how old you get, you'll always be younger than me.
This is why I tell people to get vaccinated.
Because the misinformation being fed to people is so bad that I get messages like this.
This person may be completely gone, but there are SO many others who we can still reach. Who aren't caught up in conspiracy and lies
I have to try
Let me say, the older I get the more frustrated I become with the negativity in the gaming world. It genuinely upsets me to see that outrage and hatred are what gets views and clicks - so they milk it. Currently the target is Diablo. And I’m just tired of it. That’s all 🙃
This is a subtweet.
Years ago a knew a kind, caring, wonderful woman who I did various events and such with. She treated everyone with respect and love.
5 years later she's gone full alt-right, pickme, ragebaiter for views and engagement.
and it's sad man, just sad.
Sorry for airing grievances in public, been sitting on it for years :( Gonna walk away from twitter today. But my original point was: it’s not hard to credit people. It’s not hard to link to games. And video game devs owe us nothing. We’re an ecosystem. We need each other.
This country was founded by dudes who protested and rioted and threw tea into the sea.
And we celebrate that in our history books.
Now, WE are the ones, a future child will read about.
Which side of history will you be standing on?

No I'm not playing Diablo 4. I'm not touching a Blizzard game til Bobby is gone.

"...And we look at a whole variety of factors" is corpo speak for "do they make games as a service, can we milk their audience?"
This is a shit answer. It's not even an answer. It's a dodge. Cause the real answer is vile

It's just that good.
THE USA GAVE UP.
That’s what this is saying. We could have just listening to science, but minor inconveniences to your daily life really made us sad. Besides masks aren’t cool and the rich need us to work so they can make millions in their bunker mansions.
When I was asked to include pronouns I said yes, you know why?
Cause it's so easy to be kind and welcoming.
It takes nothing away and only is an issue with weird culture war types.
I've been doing this 12 years. I'm fine if you don't watch. I'll still be here another 12.
