not to sound radical or anything, but have you considered a government that fulfils campaign promises

Microsoft blaming the rising costs of computer components after spending $146 billion dollars on AI investments

i do not want the games industry to recover. i want something new to be built atop its now ashen foundation and i want those who previously brought ruin, rot, and misery to be outside looking in as they give up and seek some other well to poison

Me at the A24 board meeting: We’ve got a brand beloved by young hip people and cinefiles, basically synonymous with “good taste” and “artistic vision,” in a time where both are hard to come by. What if we flushed that in the fucking toilet for a bit of money?

It's the same sorta mentality as when they were pretending the MCU was an "auteur factory" and snapping up indie directors. People at the top don't really understand what makes those directors interesting they just think owning them gives an immediate boost to your credibility

*FANDOM WAR FLASHBACKS*

feel like a very loud thing being said right now is that a child safety organization shouldn't be headed by child rapists

what if instead of donald and goofy turning super realistically rendered (similar to PotC) or them turning into real animals like in a lot of fan art, what if they instead turned into like Mascot characters like gritty and chiitan when they're in Quadratum lol

maleficent and kairi are my girlies and i want the world for them

I do not care about the Gamers whining about God of War Laufey, however, I do think there’s a point to be made that games used to have shorter pipelines and scopes, so spinoff games were more frequent inbetween mainline games; so now I have to listen to misogynists whine for six years instead of two

I hate Ai being used at any point of a production but I cannot understand why people think it sounds better to say that you only used it at the early stages of pre-production. That's the fun bit!! The ideas bit!! The creative bit!! The bit that makes your story YOURS.

[making no effort to catch up on the discourse] girth of the author

I dislike so many people talk about art failing if the audience is unable to enact their wish fulfiment as they see fit, like the art is doing something wrong by steering them in a direction they dislike (morally, narratively, hornily, whatever). people lose their minds when art disagrees with them.

He really does just want to make nft bullshit work, I genuinely think this engine will tank the company

people who say this ship has no basis before kh3 are wild to me

in hindsight i think Another Side, Another Story held a bunch of concepts Nomura had for the eventual Quadratum Arc.

everyone always makes a big deal out of sora obliterating cutler beckett's ship in KH3 and killing a buncha guys without remorse but like... they were literal slavers??? who cares?? like Sora SHOULD kill them lol.

i will riot if the foretellers are stuck in those fucking black coats all KHIV. GIVE THEM MODERN OUTFITS TOO. MODERN CLOTHING + ANIMAL MASK = THE GOOD SHIT.

social media becomes 100x more tolerable when you filter out people that think an author writing a character doing some manner of bad thing means the author condones the bad thing

Chadley is a litmus test for if you like ffvii remake on its own terms or if you just like retracing the one groove in your smooth brain

every single study done on this shows that the actual best behavior is done under consistent pseudonyms and people behave worse under real names it’s counterintuitive but at this point the real names thing is willful denial of evidence

here’s one write-up, it’s pretty interesting

Good morning BlueSky🌞 🐓🌷🍩☕

Um, ok. Last minute greeting cards, y'all.

mourning the good vivid dream i was woken up from 😩

all of the discourse over the amazing digital circus finale finally convinced me to check out the entire series for the first time just to see how i would feel about this controversial finale/ending aaaaaaaaand i liked it? it was fine? dont get the hate but maybe it takes 3 years to brew first idk

"death of the audience" is genuinely unironically good advice for anyone who wants to make anything

The thing about discussions of increasing the price of games to make dev more sustainable is that we still are getting quarter after quarter of record profits from major publishers so idk seems like the layoffs have very little to do with AAA pricing and a lot to do with business strategy

The ending of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Something weird about how genuinely sexless and prudish everyone has become, while slang like rawdogging, glazing, and dickriders/meat riders has just become neutral terms that ppl use regardless of how sexual they are 😭

i never really got why people thought it was so unfathomable for kh to appear in a nintendo direct the past few years, as if the last major title to release (MelMem) didn't have half of its trailers debut there.

Make a movie of this one please

I think it’s important to keep talking about children and social media, but I also think that debate is a cover for what these laws are really about: surveilling the entire population online

What the fuck is it good for? Im asking sincerely. Medical people say its shit for diagnosing, its utter garbage for creative fields, it cannot teach and hallucinates false answers, programmers have to fix its code half the time, businesses find it doesn't help productivity and it causes psychosis.

relevant to an email i just got

hash tag bi pride

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

ive been calling it his life's work for years whenever anyone claimed he didnt actually care about it, nice to hear him say it too!
