this is to educate my non-American followers. This really is how the US sees itself. (and yes, 95% of the time, Florida = WHAT?!)

wake up america

… Please tell me you guys are kidding.  

Florida is like it’s own country I swear

I’m from Florida and I can confirm this. Also, South Florida is basically Miami and alligators.

Well the reason why it’s like that is because it started out in the north east so everything west of it was called the west. The south wasn’t called teh south until the civil war era

Hey, everyone, please be careful. Tumblr has replace message sounds with screams, chainsaws, bone crunching, and other various “horror” sounds. Please mute your computer and stay safe - I’m sorry such a thing has happened.

you can manually turn off the spooky sounds too by going to the options on your chat window :o

This is what it looks like when non-straight, non-white, non-male people get to host late night shows

Dunking on the “Blacks for Trump” woman and a Carmilla shoutout is the kind of glorious content we have to look forward to when networks finally stop hiring only straight cis white dudes to host late night shows. Please.

Gifs: Late Night with Seth Meyers

I just discovered the “Jokes Seth Can’t Tell” segment last night, and I am delighted.

This is so great, everyone’s having fun and laughing with each other and just enjoying sharing each other’s delivery of the joke

So everybody on the internet, since that Bethesda review copies thing, has put up their own hot takes on what the future of gaming journalism is.

And let it never be said I’m not a loudmouth with opinions, so here’s mine.

Traditional games journalism sites are done. Finished. They might die out slowly, but they’re done. IGN will probably survive due to sheer size and being ‘THE SITE’, but the others? The others are fucked.

Kotaku is done. Destructoid is done. Polygon is done (except for a couple people, which I’ll get to in a second.)

Reviews, in general, are probably done. They’ll be replaced with video content like early streams/preview vids, if a game is fucked it’ll probably get out through the grapevine of twitter or facebook or other sites everybody uses.

The only sites that are going to survive are sites with relatively few employees that double as personality sites. Sites like Giantbomb and what Vice just launched, Waypoint.

Cause most of these sites? Have too many employees. They’ve had too many for years. Youtube and Twitch came, grew, ate huge chunks of their audience, and they kept the same amount of employees. Adblock came, grew, and ate half their advertising revenue, and they kept the same amount of employees.

It’s why Kotaku can’t pay their contributors a respectable salary and have recently begun replacing their entire staff with previously freelance randos they can abuse and underpay. Cause they have too many people. The idea of a gaming site that puts out a constant stream of content 24/7 is not only outdated, it’s not what people what or need. Information disseminates different on the internet now.

I get a lot of asks that ask ‘where do I go for news?’ and the answer is: I don’t know. Cause I don’t go to any sites specifically for news. I have friends. I have twitter. I have youtube. I have all these other ways of getting info, and if I see people on twitter discussing something I don’t know about, I google it and click the first article from a site I don’t dislike. Most people I know do the same. The idea of someone checking a site for gaming news every day (or, in the desires of Kotaku, multiple times) is no longer realistic.

So they’ll die.

Waypoint and Giantbomb will survive because they produce what people want - video and audio content with funny personalities. (Use quotation marks for Waypoint if you want, there.) Polygon has some funny people but I think the site will die rather than convert into a personality site, because they’d have to fire too many people to make the conversion. God knows they can’t put repellant crazies like Kuchera and Gies on mic (Gies is probably too busy doing coke for that, anyway.)

Youtube got so big cause demand for video/audio went up and demand for writing went down, especially when you can find people just as informed and intelligent (which isn’t a high bar these days, admittedly) on Tumblr and Twitter, and put them on your feed, if you want. There isn’t a place for these sites anymore. Their currently shrinking audience are one-off visitors, or people who visit the site out of habit.

I guess friendships mean nothing to you, considering you caught your Ralts in a Pokéball and this bitch is in an ULTRA BALL.

And don’t you dare try to lie to me because I WAS THERE WITH YOU WHEN YOU CAUGHT YOUR “PARTNER.”

YOU AIN’T LOYAL.

i mean, if it being a Gallade wasn’t enough information to find that out in the first place.

OG was killed by a rival and he spent months mourning him on Mt. Pyre

Ralts is up in the great PC box in the sky with Cubone’s mom and Blue’s Raticate
