Ono x Fate/GO = microtransaction feverdream

On May 1st, I will be moving from Capcom to another company.
I'm going to be working at a studio that is a little different from the one I'm used to.
I'm also going to be looking at development from a different perspective than in the past. pic.twitter.com/Hch7kkGZA0
I think Yoshinori Ono should be praised for the fantastic fighting series he's helped keep relevant, but the idea of the guy who presided over SFV's Fight Money and microtransactions heading to the developer that makes one of the most addictive (and predatory) gacha games around sounds like a match made in hell.
Might I interest you in some smooth Palpatine?

Funny enough, Google's anti-competitive practices also just led it to its all-time high stock price. Hooray for corporate greed, I guess.

As always, Facebook continues to either not know or not care enough to police itself properly. Just a reminder that Zuckerberg blamed insurrectionist planning on Facebook entirely on the insurrectionists.

There's a $400 Esports Certification exam out there and it's a doozy
These are real questions from the ECI's practice exam.... LOL what pic.twitter.com/8aVrWJk5yn

If two buses carrying two Overwatch teams leave Dallas and Philadelphia facilities at 1 p.m. ET, approaching each other at a speed of 40 and 60 mph respectively, approximately how stupid is the concept of this $400 ECI exam?
