Got a nice little receipt from the soccer league match on Monday

Since everyone has an opinion about the Ocarina remake and its art style, heres mine. Its great. "Should look like the concept art!" WRONG, that wasn't concept art, that was promo art. OoT had the BEST graphics I'd ever seen AND the most realistic in 1998. The remake must follow the same ambition.

Its so fucking weird that Square was like “you know which of our IPs should really explore the metaphysical side of things deeply, like, really deep? The Disney one, yeah the one with Goofy, thats where we can explore the depths of the human condition” Xenogears was right there, you fucks

People that normalize AI by saying “its for reference” drive me up the fucking wall. REFERENCE IS WHAT EXISTS, NOT WHAT A FUCKING MACHINE HALLUCINATES Anytime somebody uses that excuse, reject it, its the bullshit

Spanish bureaucracy is a hellscape of useless google searches, infinite appointments, forms you dont know how to fill up and missed correspondence that you only find past deadline. Its awful and it should change. But man, when you get all that shit, submit it and it all goes through? Feels magical

I think games are still good, I always have something to play that I anticipate However What was the last game that you couldnt wait to try the game mechanic? What trailer was the last to take your breath away? What game last showed you something youd never seen before? My theory, were devolving.

tbh I give Kojima a bit of a pass on the AI thing, the context is a bit different than the Gutierrez (mexopolis) situation, the latter was much worse. Kojima is self centered and doesn’t care what people think, if he tried something and didn’t like it I kinda believe him.

The Mermaid Mask - our new mystery detective adventure game (and the follow-up to 2019's Tangle Tower) launches July 16 for PC, PS5, Switch and Switch 2

I will break the speed of light as I reach for the mute button, unlocking the secrets of the universe in the process

So Ive been having this sound issue in #MinaTheHollower Switch 2 version. Known bug? @yachtclubgames.bsky.social ?

4 straight trailers for the same game = please please please buy our game omg we wanna be done with this so bad please were in hell

I knew it was Stellar Blade 2 as soon as they did the ass reveal

So, its Blodborne but Amsterdam! A Red Light District? Nonono my friend theres a lot of red, yes, and lots of districts but no sex. You’ll love it, allez!

Virtua Fighter VI looks amazing until they add AI Clark Gable or some shit

Im not sure about the character design choice of bycicle helmets and gopro’s for your AAA dudebro game

ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian. Titles that evoke imagination, whimsy and wonder. Imagery that captivates. gen Atlas? Nothing, dry. The game? Looks like americanized Shadow of the Colossus, they even redid the sword giant shot.

Please dont make me not buy Stranger Than Heaven because you added AI Tupac

This is not good news. Rise of AI slop

I watched the Digital Circus finale at the theaters and it was cool seeing people so excited for something that was made for them. People would sob out loud at certain points, it was neat. Show itself? Aight, not for me. Endings are super hard to pull off and and it barely managed. Lots of heart.

I keep trying to find different combinations of words to see if anything clicks

Obvious post alert: Mina the Hollower is fucking excellent. Its old school Zelda but also what Zelda could be, its both a demake and a reinvention of Monster Hunter or Souls combat, its retro Game Boy art but also open world next gen polish. Its full of soul, charm, care and ambition. Remarkable.

How many times Kratos gets captured in 6+ God of War games: zero How quickly Faye gets captured in the first God of War game starring a woman: 10 minutes

Alternating between Mona the Hollower and Saros is the kind of crazy context switching I do at work. Both are amazing but goddamn, my poor brain lol.

If you wanna do your AI movie or whatever, its not like I don’t care but fine, its a free world go do your shit just don’t expect me to like or reward it. Just dont change your opinion that justifies your actions every 5 minutes. You like the shit thats why you use it, its fine, fuck you, but fine.

Downside of working on a Minecraft game is that I have to do so much research that google/youtube/etc now think Im the biggest Minecraft fan in the universe

I just woke up. Wth... 🤯

“Well only fund your show if you use AI” is a real fucking evil way to do business. Makes creative leads sell out in order to get something made. Its both gaslighting and extortion. In games too, teams are being asked to make a big game with 1/3 of the budget “forces” them to consider AI

This really is it, this is the part that keeps me raging against the machine. Every day of my career I’m shoulder to shoulder with incredible people, pouring their skill & point of view into the work they do, making choices that amaze and delight me. Frame by frame, drawing by drawing…that’s THE job

Not that I need another concept project but I just visualized a very cool Dragon Ball game that has never been done and I really wanna explore it now 👀

Anybody else lowkey offended than in Forza Horizon 6 you can race on rice fields?

Fuck it, it’s Monday, we ball

Me watching the first half of Shutter Island "wow this is great, feels like a modern classic, wonder why people dont really like it" Me watching the second half of Shutter Island "oh thats why"

I can tell I havent played a “modern” mainstream AAA in a while cause I fired up Forza Horizon 6 and my main thoughts are: - why are there like 5 dynamic mini achievements showing up on screen at all times - why wont these characters STFU Like, its a devolution to in-game informercials nonstop now?

I’ve had stomach acid for like two days and wow this sucks holy shit

Definitely didn’t think thats the image I was making

I get the chance of being a concept artist, a production artist and a lead artist at the same time .. so I get a really good view about how AI infects (and thats the key word) what we do everyday. The systems in place and the preceding events before it all have a big role to play and affect us all ▶️

I have an appointment tomorrow and it made me think about how the economy has changed: Midlife crisis for your dad: "I bought a fancy car" Midlife crisis for you: "I got braces"

Work was like “for this internal interview could send us a photo or use the chatGPT tool we linked to make an image?” So, naturally, I sent this instead because how dare you

Rediscovering Angela Aki and this is phenomenal, incredible lyrics youtu.be/aU9v6J_Kcuw?...

If Greek Mythology was so fucking great how come all we have left is Greek Yoghurt.

Finally finished Terranigma (bleh) and started Actraiser which is also by Quintet (and somehow I never noticed) so basically I’ll end up playing all their relevant games (they fell off a cliff in the PS1 era) Anyways, its a dope game, no wonder people like it. Shame combat isnt a bit better though.

sigh wtf

lol. lmao even.

I give Initial D respect because its by far the ugliest cast in an anime I've ever seen. I mean ugly by anime standards, they just tripled down on "its regular people living their lives bro, they look how they look"

Its so weird that people complain about what they see in their bluesky feed and turn it into a faux intellectual point about bluesky being bad or whatever YOU CONTROL YOUR FUCKING FEED YOU FUCKING IDIOT

You can love or hate the show, but the Jujutsu Kaisen s3 opening is one of the best this century, doesn't miss a single beat. youtu.be/Xr032EhUDPw?...

Oh no, I'm becoming one of -those- Photoshop people 😅 - 🎨

I finally watched the Starfox Direct and the game does look better in motion than in stills, at least the saturation levels are way better. Those character models are the worst versions of those characters Ive ever seen though, complete miss from a design standpoint and a significant step back.
