My advice to those designing consoles for next gen: Buy an IKEA Kallax cube. If the console you have designed is bigger than the cube in any dimension, don’t ship it.

Capcom fans were eating too good. They've needed a reality check for a while now. Suffer like the rest of us.

Just found out the latest three days grace record has adam gontier back on vocals……….

excited to finally have context for the last four years of kinomoto posting

it will genuinely be so over for me whenever a steam deck 2 happens. all the live service forever slop games I play are one major spec bump short of actually great/steady performance currently.

zoomer radicalization moment

Epic made a big deal in court about passing on savings to the consumer if they didn’t have to pay Apple and Google’s royalties About a week after they won the case, they jacked up the prices again Oops

Unreal Tournament (2004) is free

men will rawdog a 14hr car ride and let their inner monologue take control while on the highway instead of going to therapy

jk rowling uses her money to fund groups that push for transphobic international outcomes and helped bring the case in front of the English supreme court that defined trans women as "separate but equal" and removed several civil rights protections. there is no way to ethically consume harry potter

I feel like we should all just return to personal blogs and newsletter subscriptions again

my most recent white whale is a clip I saw a few years back of someone dropping in a perfect scoop of protein powder into a blender set to a really sick hardstyle remix of alice deejay's better off alone that I have such vivid memories off but that I'm unable to find again

every day I wake up mad about phantasy star online 2

logged on to PSOBB today and decided to take my first look at the Episode 2 areas and holy crap the environments are such a step up from Episode 1's, I was genuinely super impressed people who went from the original to Episode 2 must've had their minds blown back in 2002/2003

the Seabed (first two screenshots here) in particular I found super cool because I think "sci-fi tech lab under the ocean" is one of the coolest settings anything can have. the VR Spaceship (third screenshot) also has some awesome vistas here and there

share this to scare the last five wii u fans

This is how I win.......

it doesn't happen to me often or at all really but every good thing I hear about slay the spire immediately deflates in my brain because I find those games so boring to look at, it's a very strange sensation for me lmao

dude turn on the Rotom TV. it doesn't matter which Pokémon Channel.

it is the strongest wordler who keeps their greens to themselves

Once any discourse reaches the point where everyone is talking about the nature of criticism itself, it's time to call GGs in chat and disconnect

They’re figuring out how to emulate you on the Steam Deck subreddit

cost and dev talent and all that sure but I always thought sony would've racked in a lot more money doing pc ports if they had opted for less recent stuff from their catalogue than late ps4 and ps5 releases, imo just one example but I wasn't gonna buy/play uncharted 4 without the previous three lol

reminded of supervive, a game that had a genuinely good shot at carving out its own niche and be successful in the long term, launching its big 1.0 release with a surprise gacha progression system you have to grind out or shell out to play the competitive video game at peak efficiency

Gotta say, every single live-service game shutting down three weeks after launch might have some effect on your ability to attract players to the next five live-service games you push out afterwards. The games industry is training gamers to not buy any new games. I think this might be an issue.

All these recent live services crashing as soon as they came out reminds me how in mid to late 7th gen everyone wanted a piece of the WoW pie so all these startups with industry veterans at the helm would risk it all and made a MMO their first project thinking they would be one of the lucky few.

Year of the Linux desktop will happen thanks to Microsoft stubbornly shooting themselves in the foot

fell for it again award: buying a second monitor inevitably has made me more susceptible to buying a third or even fourth monitor down the line

I'm in a bad place (enjoying a (1) rhythm game)

watching 50 min poe1 league starter build guides that will SURELY not be complete garbage

been thinking about this edit nonstop since the gen 10 reveal

This is huge actually lol

why did the zoomers end up adopting "larp" as the new phrase for calling someone a fake fan? is it cause they don't know what larp actually stands for? they make me feel so old whenever i see them using the phrase wrong

white girl music playlist [sped up]

getting fire/fighting jokes about the fire starter when the last one of those was in Gen 5 (15 years ago)...

deeply troubled over there not being the red/blue distinction in the logos this gen the last time this happened was b/w but at least zekrom and reshiram had them in their designs lmao

I unfortunatly am gonna play the shit out of pokémon champions if it's a good competitive experience

I can so easily imagine Phyrexia themed Monster cans......

extra upside about cancelling discord nitro is that I no longer feel compelled to collect servers like trading cards for cross-server emote usage 👍

saw a tree where crows are gathering near my workplace, it's finally my time

it is, with no exaggeration or underestimation of the word, fucking bleak out here

crazy how long it's been since I last yapped about To Make The End Of Battle youtu.be/dhO37PCNAu0?...

wild that a fake industry with no purpose is destroying a number of real industries that people like and use

I think it really says a lot that the forces gutting media jobs are not willing to actually publicly embrace that their output is generated by AI. Instead, they have to create fake humans with fake names and fake profile pictures and bios, cardboard standees of humans, to maintain the illusion.

saved from the pc peripheral hole for the time being because that new logitech mouse with the fancy new haptic switches would be right up my alley if not for the fact that even a black+white colorway is already too loud for my very normal brain

Heartwarming, Capcom remembered that they can in fact ball
