Worse idea: James Bond is being made by people who are really, really weird about trying to make The Zelda Timeline work

Geoff Keighley really is the perfect representative of the gaming industry: -unreservedly self serving -pretends to care about the people actually making the product -loves to make performative gestures that ultimately go nowhere and help no one -would almost certainly sell out to the saudis

I think the incestuous nature of Video Game Community Culture, wherein the lines sometimes blur between developer, journalist, streamer, and 'popular online personality with industry connections', can lead to a very human but nevertheless reductive bias and fear towards stating some things sucks.

🪦

I played a not-insignificant portion of this on Steam Deck. It would absolutely work on Switch 2

joyce carol oates is one of my favorite posters, and I wish she was here on bluesky

I haven’t struggled with a film in cinema since this year’s Captain America. Predator: Badlands was so painful.

All the creators worth their salt are saying “fuck AI”

If you want to experience the creative arts of a dev but don't want to financially support the publisher, just pirate it and send the devs a gift or something. Fuck it all. Unshackle the arts from capitalism, craft your own economy, give your own thanks.

I need you all to know that my mother sent me this. 🤣 That is all.

The Yakuza series has just become another vessel for rudderless IP farming by gormless idiots. Replacing actors because they did a little Christmas as a treat but actively employing sex pests is insane (not to mention completely out of line with the morals the game attempts to teach).

One thing I think worked in Final Fantasy 15’s favour was that a lot of the world building existed at the edge. It wasn’t explicitly in any of the dialogue or story. Fragments were scattered in trailers, films and the DLC. I know this isn’t a popular opinion but it gave the game a mystery I enjoyed.

when you've lost so much you've got very little left to lose, the truth tends to get easier to speak this is, genuinely, how revolutions happen

most baffling group of people on here are the rabidly anti-mamdani khive libs with rainbow flags on their bios and unreconstructed 2003-era islamophobia

Selling my ticket to the Death Stranding ‘Strands of Harmony’ concert at the Opera House in Sydney. Selling below purchase price. Cant make the trip for personal reasons, so if anyone here wants it, here’s a link tixel.com/u/joelz11

Chainsaw Man gets the fundamentals right which is cats are better than dogs.

You there. I want you to say, aloud, at some point today "I'm really glad I'm good at..." And then you're gonna say something you think you do pretty well. If you don't think you do anything pretty well, I want you to say "one little thing that makes me unique is..." And if you can't do either?

Read ahead on Chainsaw Man and… wow, we really are in for a miserable ride. Fujimoto is operating on another level.

I understand why people think grinding Mandalia Plains in Final Fantasy Tactics is a bad idea that sucks the life out of the game, but I simply disagree. aftermath.site/final-fantasy-...

no nut november? haha pussies

This was great (Serpent’s Path - Kiyoshi Kurosawa)

Personally believe this never needed to be touched graphically.

Rewatched Eddington last night. Seems relevant

Every time I see a director or creator I respected say “it’s a tool”, what they mean is “what’s in my head is cooler than a professional artist can produce”.

did a lot of aggressive nodding during this. do not understand what everyone saw in this game, which felt fundamentally empty to me.

I do think once the dust settles, Clair Obscur will be my GOTY. Lost Odyssey really said “for those that come after”.

10 games to get to know me and train an algorithm to identify me easier and advertise products specific to my tastes.

Every business, government agency, media outlet and human person that continues to post on or go near X is consciously collaborating with the most openly white supremacist public figure since Hitler. There is no excuse.

Haven’t watched a lot this year but this is loosely where I am ranking wise.

Boycott anything Harry Potter. It's incredibly easy to do

Rowling and Emma Watson's argument is painful to watch😢 Good-hearted transgender people never intend to hurt anyone else. They just want to love who they want to love and live according to their soul's direction. Chiitan stands by the hearts of good-hearted transgender people. I love everyone

i can't feel sorry for someone like this. i just don't accept this kind of delusion as anything but a choice.

I think if you need AI to create art you are just sortof a loser and there's no way to litigate that

@realgdt.bsky.social ‘s ‘Frankenstein’ is visually rich, emotionally satisfying and absolutely worth seeing in a cinema. Elordi is amazing.

Devilman Crybaby and Chainsaw Man movie share a composer. Excellent

i think its good that bluesky is boring and you dont want to scroll through it too much because you're not supposed to waste your day away scrolling on social media when you could be using the computer to play & draw & learn before the corporations destroy the rest of the internet. tick tock

Honestly, probably the strongest issue of #EGM I ever assembled.

Japanese writers changing God (the final boss)’s name from ‘Yahweh’ to ‘ヤベー’ (rhyming slang for ‘oh fuck that’s a bit much’) in Xenogears because of the Christian reaction might be one of the funniest things they could have done.

we should be unimpressed more often. Sometimes things are boring, and don’t even warrant discourse

actually, Fetterman is the name of the monster

Soul Calibur on Dreamcast was the zenith

They should do a third Kirby Air Riders Direct

6 year old is drawing Chainsaw Man. I’m sure this is fine

SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average. This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything. Story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
