Hummus is fine

 

[Jintor]

i've had garbage hummus before and it colours my impressions of all hummus to follow

right now i want salmon dip

 

[CambriaRising]

Hummus kinda scares me. Afraid to try

 

[firelogic]

I already have a PS4, and none of those do anything for me unfortunately. I hope they have something unannounced to show off.

Of course they will. They're not spending 2 hours just on that stuff.

Man I had some smoked whitefish dip a few weeks ago that was fire.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I like spicy hummus.

As a recovering extremely picker eater. I tried Hummus within the last year....it's solid.

 

[Skatterd]

Oh, do Periscopes auto-archive? I wanna watch the Waypoint one I missed too.

I'm watching it right now so guess so?

Man, just give me some taramasalata and call it a day.

 

[Atomski]

.. why? Do you like bean dip? cause it's pretty much bean dip but with chickpeas.

Shit is amazing if made right. I use to home made humus all the time.. now I can't find any damn chickpeas in South East Asia.

Damn.

 

[Tranqueris]

I forgot who mentioned something about the gamergate dev possibly changing his ways since I was reading the rest of the pages, but given the last year and a half I would say that gamergate people were probably more likely to go all in rather than pull back on that bullshit.

 

[gogosox82]

played himself. seems to the alt-right way. playing themselves for years now.

Damn lmao. His game about to get dropped with the quickness.

Great fuckin game and soundtrack.

It's a dip. There's nothing to be scared of.

Pixelated Boat was a mistake...

Wonder what Dan would think.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Any other east coasters with work in the morning staying up to watch Bethesda? I feel like I'm gonna regret this. lol

 

[OdysseusVA]

Spicy hummus is great

This got a hearty laugh out of me

 

[rakkadakka]

Do chickpeas frighten you?

 

[Blitzrules240]

I'm giving them an opener, if it's Wolfenstein. I'm staying up through the demo.

If not, Goodnight Giant Bomb.

Here here. Expecting disappointment.

 

[BTA]

What does this mean? I don't get it.

"Milkshake duck" is being used a lot tonight (regarding The Last Night), and the tweet the phrase originates from is a year old tomorrow.

 

[Tubobutts]

Yes.

Austin also admitted at the end of that periscope:

"Shoutouts to Brad Shoemaker, who was probably right that the first Ori had really good music, but I just didn't wanna tell him that that was true"

 

[xxracerxx]

Yes.

Then show them who is boss by eating their blended corpses!

 

[BTA]

I'd risk it normally but it's my first day of work tomorrow and they want me in an hour early (which due to train schedules means I have to be up even earlier), so I'm not even thinking of trying.

 

[Tubobutts]

I don't want them inside of me, they could be up to something.

I had a Dan Ryckert moment when I found out that my parents had been lying to me and that falafel was made with chick peas.

 

[Salarians]

hmm...

why is it always in a spiral pattern tho

hummus is designed by junji ito?

What does this mean? I don't get it.

1) A new thing is introduced (Game, meme, movie, topic of discussion)

2) The new thing seems neat/cool/interesting

3) Initial positive reception (I wanna check that out, Day 1, pre-ordered)

4) Something unsavory comes out about the product/person behind the project

5) Interest wanes


So, in today's example.....

The Last Night looks great! That art style is killer! I can't wait to check that out!

*minutes go by*

The lead developer has a long history of supporting Gamergate on twitter. (also, the entire plot synopsis of the game is built on a really weird anti-feminist, anti-living-wage premise.)

*interest wanes*

 

[Tagyhag]

Lol I'm gone for 2 hours and already shit hit the fan, shame, that game looks really good.

Are they talking over Revolver Digital or is the Bethesda conference running longer than 1 hour?

 

[PBalfredo]

Hummus is pretty mild and inoffensive, all things considered. Give it a try.

It's not just the dev being a GGer, the entire plot synopsis of the game is built on a really weird anti-feminist, anti-living-wage premise, entirely born from that sort of shitty worldview.

hope it's a good first day and a good job mate

you can come back and commiserate with us when the next milkshake duck hits

Fucking gross. Added to the post.

Oh my god Kessler

 

[Amibguous Cad]

Guy's a hardcore Gamergater. The game's about the evils of feminism and how progressivism and a universal wage will lead to dystopia.

You can be excited if you want, but I can't see why you would be.

This shitty guy is making a game about his shitty views. You can't separate the art and the artist on this one.

This is weird. I don't remember anything like that in the game jam version, which was pretty good.

I do have a soft spot for dystopias written by people with politics I disagree with - maybe it was because I grew up with fundamentalists. I think I probably understood more about objectivism from reading about the collapse in Atlas Shrugged's society than anywhere else. So I'm still interested, but maybe not for the intellectually masochistic.

the funny thing is that a cyberpunk story about how all of humanity's survival needs are satisfied and everyone becomes a fat consumerist slug is entirely legit and indeed probably actually in the vein of cyberpunk generally, but if you attach certain words to it you end up looking like an idiot.

like just say the governcorp pumps your veins full of soma or some shit and you're good to go

Yeah, but it hits home harder when it uses stuff from the real world. No one's proposing to establish governcorp or predicting the invention of Soma; real people you can read on Vox and the New York Times and shit will tell you about UBI and post-scarcity economies.

 

[Tagyhag]

Bethesda

Lame, Revolver picked a bad time.

 

[ZiZ]

why's every talking about hummus?

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Also, if Jeff does get to interview Microsoft PR and asks them about the game, he should print out the tweets so he can read them verbatim to not allow wiggle room or hand waving.

 

[OdysseusVA]

because its amazing and should be celebrated

 

[Jintor]

the thing about governcorp is that it creeps up on you, but i get your point

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Kessler is the best and I stand by him about the avocado, hate those things.

I mean, that's pretty much the premise of Wall-E and thats pretty dope
