Joad The Wet Sprocket: I'm vaccinated for the lung shredder virus and I make like 25% more at the same company. But Microsoft took the HDMI passthrough out of Xbox, so there's give and take.

"Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago" is gonna get thrown around a lot this cycle and somehow it's gonna be about the price of gas and eggs, and not how we ran out of space in the morgues and had to stack bodies like firewood in vans in central park

Trump didn't just screw up the economy. He let many thousands die bc he couldn't be bothered abt their safety. Never was there any doubt that COVID could be extremely dangerous. On Jan. 1 2020, reading a news report abt the new disease in China, I realized we could face a world pandemic in months.

the fact that video games have gotten objectively shittier since Biden became President is striking

Mr President how exactly was six years not enough time to produce a competent Forza Motorsport

see what happens when you post a declarative sentence on the subject of video games

'why are you booing me im right' etc

What are you talking about, Baldurs Gate III is Biden's strongest achievement

its just an expansion of a clinton-era policy

tears of the kingdom represents our economic stagnation. miyamoto-san could not even make a new engine for it to run on, because joe biden wouldn't let him! we're stuck with the same overworld map and it's not okay

Game devs lost the motivation for work after Biden cancelled their student loans

fans keep saying "link is the girl" and, as far as i'm concerned, this means they have succumbed to woke ideology

They gave us an overworld and an underworld! These entitled, bad-faith smears will not stand!

Expansion into the third dimension

"Mr. President, how do you plan to deal with the NBA 2K games getting progressively worse with each new installment?"

Pretty sure the last one had a go-kart mini game. What the fuck

the generals, these big tough guys, come up to me with tears in their eyes and they say "mr president, it's so bad now. they dont even have the FIFA license anymore. they call it 'FC24' now and the menus are all glitchy" We're going to bring FIFA back and we're doing it very strongly

Put CITYPARK in the soccer vidja game EA you fucking cowards.

😂

Wait wut? For real?? I'm so far behind the state of what's current that I didn't notice. I've loved BG3 and TOTK, both Biden-era releases 😂

Studios where they let accountants make creative decisions have had a lot of major flops lately but there's been a glut of really greater games from smaller studios

I'd half agree with them. 2022 and to a lesser degree 2021 had a dearth of good games, probably from pandemic delays in 2020. But then 2023 was pretty epic. The main thing is that PS5 releases have been lame and XSX lamer. If you're not held to (one of) those platforms I think things are better.

Balders Gate 3 happened under his administration.

Trump absolutely taking full credit for Helldivers 2.

Ok, but he's gotten rid of one British monarch and is on his way to take care of a second

I blame Time. Biden is president now, and so is the post-Fortnite disaster in AAA.

What? There have been some absolute bangers since 2021..

Dropping Balatro in an election year was brilliant.
