Lol, welcome to the world, the olds will not give anyone a leg up anywhere. I say that as someone who’s almost 50.

Wait, Alyssa Mercante isn’t working in fast food anymore?

The Guardian doesn’t list her on their list of journalists, though. I guess they accept guest-written articles sent to them? I didn’t know that. I mean, its not that uncommon, but still. Huh.

Wait. There are people out there who still think “popular awards” are inclusive of their collective opinion? 🙃

Who is watching this? Does anyone besides C-level execs at gaming companies even care about this?

It’s not even a real award show. It’s a bunch of commercials.

E3’s gone? Shit. The last GamePro I read was telling me how great Mortal Kombat 3’s gonna be

It was truly a sad moment when the final E3 ended.

Now everything is split into a trillion different streams for each platform, and then occasionally for award shows they announce random stuff there too.
