It's fucking wild seeing people madder at Microsoft for not disavowing the Halo ICE thing than actually like you know... Profiting off the facilitation of genocide.

been bitching a lot lately about how there are no more campaign shooters, or more like: how they are mostly doom and quake shooters, which is fine,, but that is not what your jamie seeks

also like damn if "AAA slop" was as good as Halo, the industry would be in a much better state

dudebro slop is when you have an extremely detailed sci-fi setting and cryptic ARGs leading up to your game

"Halo was always AAA dudebro slop" alright man

florida is an evil state designed specifically to generate thunderstorms around dinnertime when i want to get fast food

Remembering when Vanquish got dinged for being "very Japanese," a comment that had no other elucidation and was written as a self-evident negative. That generation was wild with how ethnocentric shit got.

I think it's really interesting that the most viewed extraction game on Twitch right now is a PVE game and the game most associated with the genre, Escape from Tarkov, is weeks away from launching on steam with a reworked PVE mode more accessible to new players. Really interesting to think about.

Not reposting the shitty image, but y'know. As someone who loves Halo and thinks about Halo more than is really responsible, it is hard not to see that dumb White House post today as the inevitable end point of that series' long and storied courting of The Troops

There's no such thing as "bad" years for gaming anymore, if you have a broad taste it's simply impossible to play more than a fraction of every year's release calendar. That's coming from the guy who regularly finishes 50+ games a year and even is the one guy one your timeline that plays VR stuff.

Describe your dream video game in 4 images

Its dire my most anticipated game release this year is a collection of old Mortal Kombat games

I don't trust people who think Yakuza is the correction of Shenmue. You might *prefer* Yakuza. You might simply not vibe with Shenmue. But if you think Yakuza is the fix for a broken or misguided series, you are no comrade to me.

might be one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen

19. “Soldat und Tod” by Hans Larwin (1917) One of the most vivid portraits of the first World War, it cuts right to the chase without losing the bleak atmosphere. Hell on Canvas.

If you see someone stealing groceries, no you didn’t

chainsaw man deserves an entirely anime original movie that’s barely even trying to be canon where a they fight a vampire then makima is like denji you’ve taught me so much about friendship. and every action cut goes insane. like they damn used to make. like god intended

I honestly think the Forerunners were far more compelling when it was heavily implied that they were literally just ancient humans

I changed my mind I will simply not be a baby. Absolum back on the wishlist

rfk tweaking off of shinzo abe's ghost like leland palmer

I like the part of Vanquish where the guys are like "Sir, thank you for saving me, however I enjoyed hogtied with electricity :)"

VOTOMS, again, continues to be one of the greatest fucking things that I’ve ever watched.

Chirico going to grab a soda from the fridge Votoms ost for some reason:

the thing about armored trooper VOTOMs is that when people are talking about how cool and important it is they never tell you that chirico is consistently drawn like he's one of those hockey players who needs special pants because normal pants can't handle how fat their asses and thighs are

It's funny how AI slop has gotten me to be okay with not being perfect at my art. Like, who cares. It's my journey. My voice. You want perfect, you got options. I'll be over here being weird and having fun.

damn itagaki died thats wild. he was almost certainly evil but also ninja gaiden black is the greatest game ever made so. mixed bag i suppose. lets all remember him with how he promoted devils third like he was broadcasting terrorist messages from a cave

I like videogame leaks because I get to see what someones making early and that's cool

dude growing up fucking sucks i managed to somehow Nap Incorrectly and ruined my entire evening from whatever critical failure i rolled

Steam can I PLEASE have a setting on the wishlist that tells you if a wishlisted game has a demo

This is dumb, but it also tracks cyclically, I guess. Like: Xbox 360: 2005 Xbox One: 2013 (8 years) Xbox X/S: 2020 (7 years) PS2: 2006 PS3: 2013 (7 years) PS4: 2020 (7 years) That said no one is asking for this and given *gestures around* it's absolutely absurd to do it right now

our human minds are not designed to grasp how big disney is

Kids these days and their brainrot skibidi "6 7" ohio memes, back in my day we had GOOD brainrot memes like badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom

I got that gamesir controller and man it's kinda crazy that all it takes for a controller to be cheap and feel good is to make it wired

I'm a bit torn here bc the Labubu guy actually IS an indie toy designer, I saw his stuff at like WonderFes a decade ago. So he's not like say, Funko shit- So Labubus is one of the better fads because one of us made it big But also he's probably plenty rich by now (I hope so he deserves to be)

The last one came out 4 years ago and it's still one of the best games for the PS5.

Spice🎃

it's remarkable how good she still looks

One of my favorite WAD projects. Despite the power level of the characters, the levels are still a decent challenge & the Space Cats all have such cool unique toolsets

I love this movie so much

watching arthur's scary stories and holy shit they got the most malicious looking kappa in here

Also No more "post-game" content You should simply play the game through again

We should ban progression systems from multiplayer shooters entirely. Its all for the love of the game now again

Oh this sounds miserable and I think I'm un-sold on the game lol

Hardest decision in the world

Homie used the skills
