It's not even easter anymore. What are they doing to him

I’m fucking crying dude. Asking “pretty please do not introduce a security vulnerability”.

Wish their movies were more like their games for sure. Playing Mario is surprising, delightful, fast paced, and challenging.

A movie that kept throwing ideas at you with a sense of fun, wonder and momentum sounds great. I haven't bothered to watch either Mario movie because they sound boring.

They need to bring back Custom Robo (20 years since the last release counting from the JP date). I will never shut up about this and they will never do it.

Will probably delete this in a couple of days - I only really posted this to make sure Epic gave this guy back his life insurance, and it seems they are doing that. People are just reading it and getting outraged about something that is getting fixed.

Seems like it's still on the process of being solved, but he was indeed contacted.

For now I'll be leaving the original tweet up hoping that this extra information spreads - the original tweet isn't misinformation, just misleading now that there's more information.

It is still a mistake to fire someone who needs the life insurance, but medical confidentiality may have caused it

Tim Sweeney on X: "@BackersGamesF Epic is in contact with the family and will solve the insurance for them. There is high confidentiality around medical information and it was not a factor in this layoff decision. Sorry to everyone for not recognizing this terribly painful situation and handling it in advance." / X @BackersGamesF Epic is in contact with the family and will solve the insurance for them. There is high confidentiality around medical information and it was not a factor in this layoff decision. Sorry to everyone for not recognizing this terribly painful situation and handling it in advance.

Looks like Epic will be making this right. Thankfully, this may have genuinely been a mistake, and will be solved.

Sweeney has done a good thing here, and glad to see outlets like Kotaku cover this. kotaku.com/epic-games-l...

Only question is, do I take this tweet down?

This just sounds like someone trying to make "lost in the sauce" sound classy

I'm from Australia, and get mostly free healthcare too. Americans should and already are fighting for socialized healthcare.

For now this is a single case of cruelty in a system that can't be fixed overnight, that may still be fixable if Epic wants to. And if not, it should be a PR hit for them.

they are simply not worthy

Every time I see a bad take, I want to tweet. And yet I do not tweet, because if I did, I would never stop tweeting.

Just saw someone with a Kit Fisto numberplate. Imo that's the closest you can legally get to a Glup Shitto numberplate and I don't know if that's a good thing.

Someone needs to make a game that just fills the dialogue of a town with your tweets

three fluffy orange pomeranians that progressively get bigger and more fluffy

this is the only thing I will accept for the pombon evolutions

AI is always doing stuff everyone says they could do. "I could write a novel" but you didn't. you got a robot to do it for you so you could spend more time cleaning the house or whatever it is humans are good for

Controversial opinion, but art is fun and robots should do the boring stuff

I once again prove myself to be the luckiest mario kart player

From personal experience this is the ideal first game in the series because getting the insane lore dumps in the middle and hearing phrases like "big momma" said with no context is hilarious

Here, have wide Yoshi

Far from a complete list as I don't usually write it all down, but these are things I tend to include when writing because I like reading/watching them. Just preferences and stuff I like.

I like stories set in places that make the protagonist have to take risks socially. Like places they don't fit in easily and need to try to make their way through socially.

I like enemies to lovers or rivals to lovers, fierce loyalty and devotion through hardship. I like angry characters

I like characters that are flawed but lovable and ultimately have a heart of gold (I guess this is just mostprotagonists lol).
I like stories where characters have magical powers or other supernatural abilities that let us see what they would do with power and agency. Think life is strange and such.

I like scenes to have at least two purposes in the story. I like scenes that feel playful. I like scenes where levity is balanced with dead seriousness in a way that doesn't undercut it. I like scenes that have a strong sense of place, and it matters where they are (i am bad at this)

Hmm let's see which ones I can dig up

Annoying characters shouldn't get away with things too long. Even if they're villains they can be too annoying

Interpersonal problems shouldn't be solvable by a 2 minute conversation to clear a misunderstanding - it should be deeper than that

I have a bunch more specific likes and dislikes like specific character types and scenes I find fun and such, but otherwise I have similar goals to yours

For characters, I like it if we root for the main characters. Even if they're assholes, they're our assholes and we understand their perspective

I also have a guideline that every scene should be "fun". Even if it's a sad scene or a scary or traumatic one, it's exciting and propulsive to read.

I thought this was about stereo audio and was thinking yakuza in my left ear and pokemon in my right

Glad to see new Overwatch announcements but I'm still boycotting Microsoft's gaming division with BDS.

I won't be covering any Microsoft stuff, paying for it, or playing either, and I recommend anyone who wants to does the same.

Surely people wouldn't be so inconsiderate

teens only do that when they're distressed. it's not cute
