Out of the Blue

Life comes at you fast, and to help prove the point, tackle football season is now once again upon us. Tonight is a terrific opener for the NFL as the Ravens take on the champion Chiefs. There's another game tomorrow night in Brazil, of all places. Brazilians love football, but Pele didn't wear a helmet, and that passion is directed at an entirely different sport, so that should be interesting. Anyway, this means there's still time to get in on the ground floor of the Pigskin Pick'em 2024 Blue's News Group (password "bn"). It's free to join, free to play, and there's nothing at stake but pride, but you can't put a price on that. Feel free to share the link and password, and good luck to all participants.

As Concord flops, Sony exec says company doesn't have enough original IP.

The issue is that Sony backed a product that heavily pushed a political agenda, which led to swift and massive pushback. If Sony had pushed the developer to focus on non-political elements with a strong, lengthy single-player story, Concord might have become a genuinely unique offering. I mean, I would’ve probably played something like that, especially since Blizzard scrapped the story mode for Overwatch 2—a feature many were really excited about.

All I can say to their decision is "FRNxT GHRT sony GURM" and then point to random things.
It pushed a political agenda? I watched the marketing and some gameplay vids, but didn't see anything explicitly political. Or are you just talking about Sony trying to buy its way into the genre by acquiring this studio?

Apparently it's political to have characters others don't want to fuck.

Not much wrong with what's in that link. But what the fuck, maybe I have crocodile skin. The contemporary social narrative was very much on the nose with this one, and it's fucking annoying. That said, it actually does kinda make sense for a robot with no human traits in its appearance to disclaim their pronouns 😂
I thought Hollywood had hit rock buttom. Then this happened.
