Giant Bomb deserves more than a thread hanging off the Polygon story post. I don't think it's ever looked nearly this dire.

I don't remember exactly how I stumbled across GB, but I think it came up randomly during TheSpeedGamers Final Fantasy marathon in 2009 (which was the inspiration for the first GDQ marathon in 2010). They weren't necessarily the first to do the very personality-focused, video heavy, gaming coverage, but they definitely went at it the hardest and with the fewest fucks given about doing anything the "right" way. I've spent over 16 years now following the site and the people that have come through it, the Giant Bomb Extended Universe. I couldn't possibly quantify the impact they've had on me over the years. It may not technically be the end but I don't see a path forward from here.

Just gonna go be sad for a bit and watch the best content GB ever put out. That would be, obviously, Thursday Night Throwdown: Fortune Street (and part 2). <>

Here we are, 17 years after a bunch of clueless suits fucked with GameSpot and led to the creation of Giant Bomb. Now it's a whole new set of clueless suits fucking with Giant Bomb. It's the circle of capitalism.

I was in deep for GB until the Nextlander split and slowly trailed off since then. I still have mad respect for that group and follow most of them in one way or another. This is a new level of dire for them.

The Giant Bomb Preservation Project still appears to be active so... at least there's that I guess.

Awesome. Yet another reason to donate to the IA!

Edit: Grabbed episode 888 from IA. I'm only 10 minutes in and already these guys are going for it. I love this, fuck Fandom.

"I felt a big hit on the lateral side of the car, and saw Fernando and said: 'Hello!', but luckily there was no damage for anyone."

Ope! Just gonna sneak right past ya here.

Git experience is highly transferrable. Unless you have some specific use case not supported by Git, why wouldn't you use the one where the knowledge is most likely to carry over between projects/jobs?

I find it interesting how many people will click the link, find the relevant info, and paste it into a comment with a dash of snark, completely missing that the info is already in the body of the post. It's some weird offshoot of not reading the article.

I can't tell if this is actually a new project or if you forked, extended, and changed the license of an existing MPL 2.0 project. The latter would be a bad thing.

You have a commit titled "Full rewrite!!" but I'm not about to go do a comparison to see how "full" it is. If it is indeed a complete clean reimplementation then I would recommend making it a new project so it doesn't look like you took someone's FOSS code and relicensed it for yourself.

Zeb!

For anyone wondering, the game is Silent Hills. It was cancelled 10 years ago and you can still find people on eBay selling PS4s with the P.T. demo loaded on it for way too much money.

I'm sure you mean grown up DBZ Goku, but I would 100% take a flying nimbus and putter around the skies on my little cloud buddy. Just remember to pack a parachute!

Some of the onboard shots following cars down the straight were crazy. I guess it's a good thing those race suits are fireproof.

Welcome to Future plc publications. Almost entirely clickbait advertorial garbage anymore. It's sad, really.

They're still a thing. You can still find them at banks with drive thru tellers. My local department of motor vehicles has a drive thru for vehicle registration so you can do your inspection and registration without leaving your car. You send the registration documents back/forth via pneumatic tubes.

Sarcasm is difficult enough to convey in paragraphs of text, let alone a single sentence title. Also, the Linux communities on Lemmy see the occasional wave of trolls coming in to shout about how"Linux is just as bad as Windows!" You're starting out way behind even before anyone views the video.

It's a wheel weight. Somebody has a wheel that is now slightly out of balance.

It's a Beefy Miracle!

I don't love it either but they could also do nothing and guarantee scalpers snapping up 99% of preorders.

BOTW was also a crossover Wii U/Switch title.

You're telling me I can now comfortably play Satisfactory from my couch? This is going to have a profoundly negative effect on my health

Give me that Asajj Ventress! The A More Civilized Age crew is gonna lose their shit when they see this
