My RTX 5080 exploded yesterday.

I think a lot of decisions were made in MHStories 1+2 that were the devs experimenting with a Monster Hunter RPG. Stories 3 was them going back to the drawing board and making a traditional RPG. Which is we there's no online, title updates, paid character edits, high rank postgame etc this time.

Chat wasn’t prepared to meet The Most Ethical Cutscene Skipper of All Time™️

I've had enough of player agency ngl. Make us suffer again.

it’s funny that there was time where saying tariffs affected Nintendo had major push back and youtubers would even beat around the bush about it

I think the ChatGPT use of “it’s not ___, it’s ___” is more distinct from human use of that phrase than people make it out to be. Because ChatGPT is always making some stupid metaphor that communicates zero information. “It’s not a drizzle, it’s a flood”

This site is crazy

Stories 3 being structured so differently compared to the first two games and no announcement today probably means we aren't getting Title Updates. Makes me wonder if that Rudy DLC story is bigger than assumed.

My main issue with Bluesky, other than the "so you hate waffles" posters, is that not enough news / update accounts moved over from Twitter, when that's what I used twitter for. There can be 100 tweets on a topic on twitter, but the first person to post about it on bluesky could be hours later.

They look so good its unreal

They revealed a new Wilds save data bonus for Stories 3. I really like this design so that's nice.

this is how multiplayer games treat your data while demanding you install kernel level secureboot rootkits to ‘prevent cheating’ lol

The cutest girl and the strongest boy

Haven't read the article but I wonder if they had bigger ambitions (storefront, accounts) that halted after the Helldivers account fiasco?

This right here. I see a lot of "but I don't understand!" being thrown around, when the reason seems pretty clear! You can dislike the decision, but recognize the reasoning behind it.

Also can I just be real and say that the people who get hyper defensive when you make fun of a game for failing are weird? Like yeah man people losing their job fucking sucks, but every single person who looked at Highguard could see it from space that it was doomed get over yourself.

Rational side lost.

Someone speculated there were no Rise tracks in the MH concert because it was in the USA. So probably few people who know how to play the specific instruments needed. Interesting to think about.

50 children died

How many times do we have to say this but: dead people do not come back. Dead children do not come back. Death is permanent. What happens in 3 months means fuck all to the deaths happening RIGHT NOW

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

I’m gonna mute the word “distraction” for the next 72 hours. None of this is a distraction from anything else, the US Government is, and has been, a death cult run by rapists. Every atrocity they commit is its own reward.

Looking at the Gog fight I reckon if Dire Miralis was remade they would have the water segment be a limited thing too.

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:

Murdering children for sport is a core component of Israeli culture.

seeing red at the bluesky of it all with the iran news. top reply on a post calling israel and america rogue states being "what about russia?" says it all. cannot imagine having such a worldview. all this death, all this horror, to percieve it purely through liberal pointscoring is utterly inhuman

Is everyone okay now that pokemon was announced, felt like gamers were about to implode if there werent any announcements. Folks not wrong about that addiction to news lmao

🚨 New Video 🚨 Somehow, Monster Hunter Evolution returned. youtu.be/Kna2ekYKFqE

Monster Hunter Wilds Gore Magala ✦

gore magala is my friend

I want this so badly but the rational side of my brain is pointing out that I have a perfectly capable Steam Deck I never use for emulation.

LITERALLY THE MONSTER HUNTER RISE ZONE!!!

Saw somebody say that Nintendo needs to give people hope that there will be a be a new Mario and Zelda. The niche, obscure franchises…Mario and Zelda. Yeah. Some of yall are crackheads. Addicted to news and announcements. And I am being dead serious about this.

there's an easy way to figure out if you should vote for the greens or labour: you should support whichever party has the better chance at keeping the pro-genocide racists out of power. which is always the greens, because labour are that

I became a lot happier online when I stopped feeling compelled to make a statement on every piece of gaming discourse positively or negatively. A little quoting here and there on subjects you're interested in is fine, but people gotta shake off their obsession of posting for points.

cuba is not any threat to anyone, they are not pushing global revolution and since the collapse of the soviet union hasn't even engaged in military internationalism, purely medical and humanitarian intervention; their doctors saved millions of lives globally during early covid despite the embargos

the year is 2031. people are still kicking the can down the road to say the switch 2 is waiting for its first REAL test to show it can run AAA games

New Patreon-Exclusive video out. I discuss how and why Monster Hunter Wilds shifted away from Time-Limited Event Quests towards Permanent Offline ones, which is something not even Monster Hunter World did. www.patreon.com/posts/patreo...

I love how Magnamalo looks in Stories 3.

Just realised this was my 100th video. Neat.

You see this in Monster Hunter. If you found the game fun then a roster of 30 or so monsters wouldn't be bad at all. Now is that a problem with the fans or the games? Tough choice.

this is obviously true But Also! enabling genocide in palestine ranks higher than winning elections, in the list of democrat ambitions. even if they'd known this information ahead of time, they would not have changed course

Theories and "expectations" have had a nasty impact on culture. They just set people up to get mad when the story the artist tells doesn't line up with whatever people imagined based off "patterns" that don't really mean anything. Wait for the end, enjoy the ride, and let a story be what it is.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

The second major area in Stories 3 is quite literally the Monster Hunter Rise zone then? Full of Rise monsters like Izuchi, Somnacanth, Tetranadon, Magnamalo as a boss and then Narwa and Ibushi as Calamitous Elders. So cool.

Rise fun. Magnamongus.

I love the subtext that Stories 2 leans into and Stories 3 confirms, that Brachydios did not enjoy the training! Also using the child model of the Rider and a bespoke young Brachydios model for the flashbacks even though it makes no sense. S tier.
