#E3 cancelled

[kunoichi96]

Is E3 Finally Dead?

Well, I can’t say I am surprised by the recent news. E3 has been cancelled, possibly for good. Back in the day, E3 was the biggest event for the gaming community every year. It used to be a day we counted down to, waiting with bated breath to see the new reveals. Now though, most publishers have their way of addressing the news. Nintendo has Nintendo Direct, PlayStation has the State of Play,…

Nobody fucking talk to me I need like seven working days to mourn E3

[madegeeky]

Edit: This is what happens when I try to think while having a nasty cold. Actual date of Not-E3 is June 11, not today.

Microsoft is having its big Not-E3* June 11 and hopefully they'll talk a bit about the next Elder Scrolls game.

person who hasn’t watched e3 in years is extremely upset about the e3 cancellation

[lulu2992]

Well, E3 2023 is cancelled.

I’ve been watching the conferences every year since 2013 and, to be honest, I’m a bit sad right now…

[dougielombax]

Wait.

WHAT?!

I was joking!

Well that’s just depressing.

For all of its flaws, E3 was host to some amazing stuff and it was a part of video gaming history.

Damn shame.

I'm actually a little scared that E3 looks like it's dying as an organization, more each year.

I don't know if anyone else remembers, but back in the early 2000s, when the controversy surrounding GTA's "hot coffee" mod became public, politicians tried to make laws to censor the hell out the entire videogame industry. They still thought videogames were toys for kids, so when they learned about the "hot coffee" mod, they tried to make it illegal for mature content in games to exist AT ALL.

The videogame industry fought back and won. But I heard that the only reason they were able to stop such censorship laws and advocate for videogames as Art protected by Free Speech, was because the ESRB (or the owners of E3 at the time) had lobbyists persuade lawmakers. The only reason they had the money to have all those effective lobbyists, was because of their profits from E3. E3 exists to fund lobbyists to protect the videogame industry as Art, and fight censorship. If E3 goes away permanently, where will they get the money to afford the lobbyists? Are we looking at the start of a slippery slope into videogame censorship laws????

These are the negative thought spirals of catastrophizing thoughts that I have. o~O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breaking News: E3 2023 - Is Officially Cancelled!

Breaking news, credit to IGN, E3 2023 officially cancelled. Not surprising since some companies are already pulling out.

As for my Summer Games Special, nothing much, just the same as last year, although this June will be the 15th anniversary of the MmGS.

E3 2023 has been canceled

[vivwritesfics]

Hi, I down quite know if you are taking requests but I saw that clip from lando leaning against the car in DtS S6 E3 and thought of him watching his girl do the driving in reverse for the quadrant video and she's doing very well and he's just proud. If you don't feel like it you don't have to do it. Have a very nice day love you writing <3

haha i don't have netflix anymore i was gonna watch it for this but my dad cancelled it out of spite lol

lando was the designated driver of the relationship

i mean

people say 'when you're a professional chef you don't want to cook at home'

and might expect the same from the drivers

when lando experienced being a passenger

he wasn't a passenger princess

he was a passenger survivor

she drove like she was on a track

a nascar track

or like she was a rally driver

she drive like she and the car were invincible

and that was why lando drove them everywhere

because he valued his life lol

there were compilation videos on tiktok of her driving

her #skills

which is exactly why she was recruited for this quadrant video

lando was terrified lol

like, thank god there was some sort of barrier between them and her

but it was incredible

bc, now that she was on a track, she drove like a mad

but, she drove well

the camera caught the fear on lando's face

the camera caught the fear as it turned to pride

the camera caught as she jumped out of the car and lando practically ran into her arms, snogging her good

i love your takes on armand,he gives the ick but it’s fascinating at the same time lol what is your take on loumand from armand side? do you think he genuinely liked louis at some point?! it was all about his obsession with lestat? why he wanted to keep him so bad,again,only bc of lestat(i hope not tbh)? did he love him? idk after the last two episodes i bounce so much with this!!

thank youuu everyone loves an evil man until they get one and suddenly he's their canceled wife. or a doe eyed twink. or an overgrown teenager. anything but the actually interesting version of himself presented in the source material. but i digress imo armand absolutely loves louis he's so. his hunger is bottomless and he pours all of it into louis and by god will he ensure louis takes it. without complaint too we wouldn't want to get hysterical now would we dear not in this already fragile state. anyway i do think the choices armand makes in no pain are incredible (scarily straightforward) foreshadowing for the latter half of s2. like base conditions and consequences 1. he wants a relationship with louis on his own terms (on coven terms he set) or not at all; 2. he expects louis to make the necessary unquestioning sacrifices for acceptance and for their romance--first his freedom, then claudia; 3. and in the absence of this sacrifice he kills him/possesses him completely when that fails--e3 ends with armand deciding not to kill him but instead have sex with him. and the trial's ordeal ends with their eternal companionship built on armand's lie . othello had to kill desdemona bc if she could betray her father to marry him she could betray him to sleep w someone else etc it's all about making sure the wife knows her place

in dubai he's definitely a hundred percent in love w louis + having been shown their bedroom i don't subscribe to the bed death theories. but imo louis doesn't have the breadth of choice to ever meaningfully reciprocate. his love is a small box....it's all carefully curated to ensure he appears louis' only option and his best chance at enduring vampirism + the sickness of living without claudia. in his mind he keeps louis because he loves louis. he keeps louis because he wants complete control over his own illusion of servitude. he keeps louis bc he's earned the right to louis + his companionship

i do genuinely think his obsession w lestat is different entirely; armand respects lestat too much to ever love him the way he loves louis. man to man lmao.....he knows lestat can't be possessed the way louis can and his envy is only amplified by louis' love for him. i also do think in his eyes he just vibes w louis better (while in her eyes well. armand voice your wife is counting down your thrusts) while his relationship with lestat 1. was primarily antagonistic 2. was edited to fit the narrative of his powerlessness + being wronged by him in order to appeal to louis' sympathies 3. eventually became about louis' love and louis' choices . yay

S1:E3 Occam’s razor

Okay first of all, what did I just watch? A guy is coughing, and than He and this girl start banging and than one of them passes out,

Woohoo! Here comes Greg and James!

James and the giant peach is like, “So there’s a person in the emergency room.” (The guy form earlier) and Greg Heffley is like “Alright.”

James: How was that so easy? Gregory: You know why ;)

James: Blood pressures not responding to IV fluids? Gregory: Yeh

James: *Smiles*

Gregory: That’s just WEIRD.

(What does this even mean? 😭)

So the House named Greg says “This guy has too many symptoms.”

He shows the other docs all the symptoms the guy has on a whiteboard.

The girl doc with a pony tail is like, “No condition accounts for all the symptoms.”

and Greggy goes, “Oh good, I thought he was sick, but it turns out he’s not!” Than says they need to treat the guy with a bunch of big doctor words I do not understand.

So now it cuts to a scene where the kid is coughing up a storm, his girlfriend is like, “Stop testing him, start treating him!” A doc says “Erm, actually we need to test him before he make him better sooo….”

Then Greg house guy introduces himself to a waiting room full of people, and says “Hi, I’m stoned, who wants me?” And then proceeds to look at the people like this….

Then the guys girlfriend goes up to the Australia doctor and says, “did I give that guy this sickness?? Me and that guy were having sex, and I was very rough.” And he looks at her, very concerned.

So now a lady is with Greg and says, “My mucus was pale golden rod a week ago, and I don’t like being told what to do.” Greg says “We’ll do a full body scan later this week.”

so than the Australia doctor, says to two other docs “That girl thinks she rode him to death.” and the girl doc says, “I hope you got some specifics! If she thinks it could kill him, It’s worth knowing about.”

and he goes “have you ever taken a life??”

Then the other guy Doc goes, “THERES FLUID FILLING HIS LUNGS, HIS KIDNEYS ARE SHUTTING DOWN!”

*Super epic realistic blood cell CGI*

“Our treatment isn’t making him better. it’s killing him.” *Dunn Dunn duuuuuunnn*

Gregory tells a guy he thinks his tie is ugly

The patient Guy’s parents arrive. He tells his parents “Hi. This is my fiancé.” And shows them the girl who Rode him to death.

The tests show the antibiotics didn't cause the kidney failure. Greg tells them the patient is getting better.

Greg is with a patient, but he’s busy playing on his game boy. ”My THRoAT HUrTS.” Says the patient

“Yeah, so you said.” Greg rolls his eyes. “HoW LOng Do I HAVE to WaIT?” ”Two minutes less than when you asked me two minutes ago.” 🙄

Australia is pouring coffee, but spills some because he was staring at the doc girl. Then she starts talking to him in very very graphic detail about talking about what sex does to the human body. “Did you know That WomEn Can HaVE An HoUR lOnG OrgASM?” Australia man just stares at her.

than this just happens:

Greggy boi meets with the family. He accuses them of giving the patient the "cough medicine" (He thinks the patient was taking an illegal drug instead of cough medicine) after he arrived at the hospital. The mother admits to it and finds the medicine bottle. Australian doc goes to the pharmacy. The guys mom says “Yas, those are the SAME pills I gave my son.” It turns out they did give the patient the cough medicine after all not illegal drugs.

Gregory says,

“I was not wrong everything I said was true, it fit! It was elegant!”

James: “so reality was wrong?”

“Reality is almost always wrong.” Greg says before he downs a ton of pills.

They start to prepare the patient for surgery. Then the patient goes crazy, and almost dies, They get his heart started again, But, they have to cancel the surgery. The patient now also has pain in his fingers. A doc guy tells Greggory, and he starts thinking of something.

Greggy goes into the clean room without preparation. He still thinks the patient was poisoned because of a new symptom, the guy is losing hair 🫨He thinks the kid has been using illegal drugs contaminated with Colchicine and orders treatment. The patient starts getting better.

But Gregory is STILL not satisfied - he still can't figure out the source of the poisoning. the patient guy starts coughing again. They give him cough pills, and he realizes they aren't the same as the old pills he was taking; the new pills have the letter "L" on them but the other pills did not.

Australia says to girl “wanna get some food?” but she cuts him off right away and says “Nah.”

It ends with a scene showing Greggy Pooh in the pharmacy after hours, he’s sitting on the floor searching through the bottles. He holds two similar-looking pills, they both have the same shape, only one has writing on it and one does not. He smirks, He was RIGHT. *happy music 🎉🎊🎉🎉🎊🎊🎉*

This show is the bomb.com guys 💯 🔥
