Barret Posting: The Antidote to Social Media Grandstanding
We’ve all come across those social media users who love to pontificate like they’re a video game villain, spouting grandiose words and questionable opinions. But fear not, for there is a counterbalance to this phenomenon: Barret posting.
Inspired by the iconic character from Final Fantasy VII, Barret posting aims to inject some levity and common sense into the world of online discourse. As gaming expert Kenneth Shepard explains, “I think I’ve found the perfect counter to Sephiroth posting: Barret posting.” So the next time you encounter someone who’s gone full villain on social media, remember that Barret is always ready to set the record straight.
In the realm of mobile gaming, few titles have captured the hearts of players quite like Pokémon Go. So when news broke that the game was being sold to Scopely, a company known for its monetization tactics, fans were understandably concerned. However, according to Michael Steranka, senior product director on Pokémon Go, the acquisition is actually a positive development.
In an interview with Polygon, Steranka reassured fans that Pokémon Go will not suffer the same fate as other Scopely-owned games. Despite the company’s track record with monetization, Steranka promises that Pokémon Go will remain true to its roots. As he states, “The game being sold to Saudi-owned Scopely is actually great. Not now, not ever.”
As the world of gaming continues to evolve and expand, it’s clear that there’s something for everyone, from city-building enthusiasts to zombie slayers and social media skeptics. With new titles constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in gaming, there’s never been a better time to dive into the virtual worlds that await. So grab your controller, load up your favorite game, and get ready to embark on a gaming adventure like no other.
