there's a legendary tiffany pollard monologue for this kind of post
So what's going on with Gaint Bomb these days? I followed Jeff when he left and haven't even looked at since. They're streaming from home? Do they even have an office anymore?

No, she's Jeanne. I would also accept her as Samus, but she def ain't Bayo.
Does Beyoncé have transphobic / homophobic moments that the fans excuse because she's stylish and still buy everything she puts out ?
And does she release multiple versions of her albums with a new song or two in bonus, that the fans go buy in droves ? If so the comparison is valid.

Thank you, I think?
What's her deal again? I only know her by name (as in, I know she is a singer) what would make someone her?
Not sure I get the question

They're scattered across the country - no point in an office anymore.
Jan, Tam and Lucy are on the west coast, Bakalar is in New Jersey, Grubb is in Ohio, Ryckert is currently moving...

They're 100% remote at this point, aside from big events like PAX, Summer Games Fest, and the odd New York get-together. Most of the vibe is Dan Rykert, Jan Ochoa, Jeff Bakalar, Mike Minotti, Jeff Grubb, and a rotating cast of regulars hanging out and continuing a podcast empire built on good vibes.

I would say Chun-li. She's probably the most popular female in gaming. I would say Zelda but I think a lot of people (who isn't familar with zelda) think that Zelda is link which I consider preventing Zelda from being Beyonce. I think Zelda would be Billie Ellish.
If we're basing it on recignizability and influence it has to be something like Mario or maybe Lara Croft since she's probably the single most recognisable female hero in videogames.
Have you seen Beyoncé's attempts at acting? She also has ups and downs.Lara Croft
Edit: I'll admit though, she had her ups and downs so maybe not the best one to compare to Beyonce 🤔
Yeah, mostly from home. It's really good though, despite the setbacks and rough hands they were dealt. They really kind of caught second wind and the crew is doing a great job right now.
Imo of course. Tbh I actually like it a lot more than the last half decade with Gerstmann, as much as I respect the man.
How wildly bigoted is Beyonce? Can she match Persona in that sense?
Beyoncé is to the current time what Michael Jackson was to the 80s and 90s.
Bonus question:
Who is the Tina Weymouth of gaming? Whoin gaming could be cool enough to write Genius of Love?
