  • The only point of the headline is to get you to click. News organizations exist to sell ads. They can’t sell ads on an article you don’t click on. Every headline is literally clickbait if you want to be pedantic about it.

    That said, THIS headline is not what anyone would typically call clickbait. It’s not asking a baiting question, burying a lede, or saying something that’s arguably untrue just to get you in to the article. “A person of particular interest to X industry says thing that he believes to be true about said industry.” The headline assumes you know a few things, sure. But it’s not a scholarly article, it’s allowed to assume you know things.






  • Ghost of Yotei sucked that taint so hard it has made me audibly groan more than once.

    At one point I was kicking some boss’ ass so hard the game started glitching out because the environment was supposed to gradually start catching on fire. It went from cute little dueling ring to flames popping in all around, and at full health triggering a cut scene where Atsu is crawling on the ground fighting for her life.

    Within half an hour of that encounter I was dueling a guy who 1 hit killed me within a second of the duel starting. Literally the instant I have control over my character I have to either dodge or block, depending on what color the attack is, but because the PS5 controller has so much input lag, I actually need to be pressing that button a moment before I actually can.

    Cut to wandering around looking for literally any combat just to see if I’m crazy but none of the regular mooks can even touch me. Or I get absolutely annihilated by magical teleporting dudes making attacks that literally cannot be avoided. There is no in-between.




  • He’s already admitted as much, there are minor changes to what he’d planned but the show’s ultimate ending is very similar to what he’d written in his notes. Bran becomes the king in the South for some reason, Samsa queen in the North, Aria goes off on an adventure and John Snow goes back to the night watch, having grown exactly 0% after they fucking murdered him, which consequently is where the books leave off.

    So if you take that ending as canon, that John Snow dies and so Westeros falls, I gotta say it’s a brave ending.
