The DLSS 5 counterpoint that game studios gave the greenlight feels so disingenuous to me when you consider that so many AAA studios are now being subjected by their parent companies to use AI in some form. I mean, we know for a fact that Microsoft is pushing AI on all of their divisions.

I'm surprised to learn that apparently a lot of people were hyped over Crimson Desert. I tried Pearl Abyss' MMO a few years ago, Black Desert Online, and thought it was straight ass. Blatantly P2W on the upper levels, world building was a bore, and UX felt archaic. Fully expected this to be similar

ready to get back on my bethesda bullshit 😌😌😌

my bad if you saw my previous re-post featuring aftermath's signup page. i picked up my phone w/o realizing i had my screen lock off lol. (i do still like what they do over there tho)

lmaoooo you probably could've sold me on dlss5 if it *only* ever applied to character clothing and other close-ups of hard surface materials, but it's impossible to ignore everything else, *especially* how completely ridiculous the faces look this shit looks like a fucking mr. beast thumbnail lol

we're all having to get so much better at mental compartmentalization than we ever thought we would

Sleepy af today - daylight davings is murdering me 😵‍💫 Extra brutal since I've also still been trying to readjust my circadian rhythm after I switched to vampire hours while I was sick a couple weeks ago

I know I'm approaching my 40s because I catch myself researching power tools and I've switched to boxers from boxer-briefs. Did you know that there's a hook attachment for leaf blowers that lets you clean your gutters from the ground?

This is such an incredible bundle if you like CRPGs. 23 USD minimum to get the full bundle (Rogue Trader is on the highest tier). All of them unlock on Steam. Bundle is ending in four days.

I'll never have millions of dollars like the McDonald's CEO does, but I find comfort in knowing I can pull off the shirt and sweater fit about a million times better than him Checkmate, 1%-ers

Having to see clips of every fast food CEO eating a hamburger while all but saying, "Haha, I'm not like other CEOs! Here at my company, we do things just a *little* bit differently! ;)" is a significantly worse fate than the one fast food CEO appearing disingenuous.

usually when i watch a video essay, i try to give it my undivided attention, but i think a 4hr video on tyler perry is going to have to be a second screen experience

pouring one out for everybody who wanted to fuck that wizard in stardew valley, but instead they're getting clint lmao

Backrooms is intended to be horror for kids, right? As a grown man, am I expected to be overcome by nervous dread from looking at some upholstery and wallpaper?

the only reason corporations ever put a woman of color in charge is if that person is going to have to publicly eat shit in a big way. sarah bond has clearly chosen not to be microsoft's sin eater, and asha sharma has taken on that role.

This seems even worse since it's not even just that Phil's retiring and abruptly being replaced, but the fact that his replacement isn't Sarah Bond. Instead it's someone who's (publicly) unknown to their games division. Asha Sharma's promotion feels like Microsoft preparing a sacrificial lamb.

being sick earlier this month has resulted in the accumulation of soooo much laundry debt that i need to work through 😭

Creation Engine THREE??????? Kinda convincing me that TES6 is locked in to be a next-gen launch title.

If I were born twenty years earlier, I know I would have been a miniature train guy because I enjoy playing Satisfactory too much.

No vids today on account of holiday 💝 Cancelled our dinner plans since we're both still kinda sick (and contagious). Getting take out for home instead lol

if i were rich i would simply build housing and fund arts instead of going to the pedophile island

I have no idea how they're going to do this beyond just attempting to re-package the satire of Verhoeven's Starship Troopers, which the game is already an homage to Anyway, Jason Momoa seems like a nice guy, but they gotta cast the guy who plays John Helldiver. Even if it's only for propaganda gags

every so often, something will come up that absolutely validates my decision to just be open about my personal politics when i first started making videos never once felt a pang of regret about doing it

Mamoru Oshii, now 74-year-old director for Ghost in the Shell, speaking on his wild love for Fallout 4 10k hours with minimal settlement building is unbelievable

Still too sick to cook for the super bowl, but not sick enough order pizza 😎😎😎 Go Seahawks 🎉🎉🎉

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

discovering that i now get watery eyes when i'm sick. brand new modifier for me. looks like i'm crying or smoking loads of weed all the time rn. sucks ass.

[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

sorry, taking today/tonight off feeling kinda tired all day and hoarse in the throat. think i got a little sick from a family member.

This is what's so incredible about Morrowind's long running Tamriel Rebuilt mod, especially the newer updates its had in recent years. It doesn't seek to remake or reinvent the vision of the core game, it builds and fleshes everything out. It evokes so much of the original's soul. It's such a feat.

Try a couple decades of shitty emails ranging from simple insults all the way up to death threats from idiot fanboys who can't handle you giving a game "only" 8/10 and see which one puts more calluses on your soul, dummy. You'd fold in six months or less.

bless up to all the good people working at larian, but oh my god, swen has really been showing his whole ass out here since crashing out over the ai scandal

Excited for Bovino and his new office.

was outside shoveling snow and had some earbuds in. was listening to somebody playing a game. i quickly realized that it was a mistake to casually listen to a game that sporadically has realistic sounding gunshots in the distance lol

I can think of worse punishments. No really, I am actively thinking of worse punishments.

They know what they're doing is wrong. This is an attempt at appeasement.

Obviously, I believe in a London Bridge approach to things, but we celebrate our wins in whatever size they come, and keep the pressure on until the job before us is done.

Is driving a snow plow fun? I don't like driving normally, but it looks like a lot of fun.

the federal government is sending armed agents to formerly calm suburbs to hunt people down and murder them in the street. abolishing ice should just be the first phase. inside of anyone working for ice is something fundamental to humanity that is broken or missing. sickening, evil shit on display.

Excellent quote excerpting work here

props to whoever worked on the michael scott skin and made it lore accurate. the third pic here reveals that he is, in fact, wearing a women's suit. (the front buttons are aligned to the character's left side, as is commonplace in womenswear)

booming blade and shadow blade getting added to bg3's regular spell lists has done so much for making eldritch knight and arcane trickster competitive

jenna seikkula's concept art for alan wake 2 is so beautiful

ahh a nice night out at the movies. now time to check my phone and see what our mad pedophile king and his evil scheming viziers are up to

It’s cool how news has like, over time now. Extra innings for “the president has said some stupid shit that could lead to crisis.” That’s sick, actually.

occam's razor tells me that he's obsessed with buying/taking greenland purely because his old ass is scared of dying and he wants his legacy to be that he got the 51st state during the usa's 250th anniversary feels like madness - like we're speedrunning burning bridges with every longstanding ally

in my experience nine out of ten furries are good people they could save our economy and this whole damned country, if only we'd let them

when the carpal tunnel starts flaring
