Bruno absolutely nails here something that I wish people cared more broadly about when it comes to these new lighting and anti-ailiasing technologies: We are often making a choice of trading excellent fidelity on high end hardware for a whole bevy of new and bad kinds of artifacts on low end kit.

Game workers do not receive any residuals/royalties on shipped titles and shipping bonuses are increasingly rare. There's also no guarantee that your name will even be in the credits if you leave before ship, and studios will use this to keep you compliant. All of this can and should change.

Just gotta say what a sickening perversion "my voice my choice" makes of "my body my choice".

if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

the main reason I don't have discord gaming notifications turned on is because people would kill me with sticks For example, I have launched Quest 64 in an emulator over 300 times in the last hour

You could remake Idiocracy today and just swap out the aesthetics of working class America for Tech CEO nonsense and I would buy a ticket in a heartbeat.

By everyone is Activision now, I mean: Everyone is getting put in the same position Jeff Kaplan was put in by Actiblizzard, ie being told "Your game needs to make $BIGNUM this year and $BIGNUM every year thereafter or we'll lay off 1000 people".

The banning of trans women from the Olympics is one of the most disgusting examples of bigotry I can recall. There was literally ONE trans woman to compete at the Olympics. She failed to record a lift. 5 years ago the Olympics website lauded her. Now the IOC regards her as an unperson.

Agent: *slams a file down on desk* Here's the deal kid. Sting operation. Con artist claiming to be a doctor. Problem is, he's clever. He'd spot an agent a mile away. That's why we need an outsider. An expert. That's where you come in. So what do you think? Are you in? Pagliacci: Lock and load boys

This came up elsewhere, so i wanted to share one of my favorite examples of "Placeholder versus Final Art" from BREAK!!

It's wild how the white games industry dudes I have beef with have copped their style from Gordon Freeman.

Michael Ian Black is the laundry that you forgot was in the washer on a really hot summer day.

Don't call her by her name please call her Redhead Author Hitler please and thank you. 😌

If everyone read the Scholomance instead of Juice Kobbler Romplestats Wizard School for the Daft of Politic the world would be a better place.

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

Want to feel old? All the teenagers who used to email Rockstar Games asking why you can't shoot dogs in Grand Theft Auto now work for the federal government

If you're in Manhattan today, keep your eyes out for these sidewalk chalk memorials for the 146 victims of the Triangle Factory Fire. The Chalk Project was started by Ruth Sergel in 2004 and is now organized by the Tenement Museum.

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

We have to be more casually vocal about hating Harry Potter. I don't know if most people know what's going on Casually going "Ugh, you know jk Rowling is like, a crazy far right bigot now right? Yeah, she went off the deep end" has gotten a lot of people to look into this in my experience

are there any more things like this

Go fash lose cash bb

Seeing a lot of people posting about Sora being dead :/ wish people were more cautious about sharing Kingdom Hearts 4 leaks

I would like to propose that the plural of Deviljho is not Deviljhos but Devilsjho

If your demon in SMT forgets their healing skill, that's lost Media.

Excuse me while I attempt to be excited about this nomination and not feel like an imposter-- Wowie I'm nominated alongside like... real voice actors 😅 This is so strange. It's insanely hard for me to self plug but consider voting, even if not for me -- there's a lot of fantastic voice talent here.

If you were someone pinging critics with ‘it’s just lighting cleanup’ a few days ago, I need you to use this as a jumping off point to thinking about your susceptibility to talking points and marketing rhetoric more generally. It was right there in front of all of our faces.

Hi! I don't think Toho has a bsky so I'll post it - my first commissioned work for all the official Godzilla channels and I handmade everything that isn't a toy. Enjoy xo

There are people out there who will turn off comp controlled jrpg party members and then go and complain that the battle system was tedious. Like... Girl... *you* did that. >:(

We spoke to multiple game devs and all of them hate DLSS 5: "What the fuck, Nvidia?!" One person currently attending college and studying game development, told Kotaku that after seeing DLSS 5, "it feels like there is no future for me."

lol. lmao

A mind like no other. Fascinating interview with Kojima, here. Great stuff.

For a moment I misread this as being about Shen Yun (the bait and switch dance thing). Looks neat would watch

this is killing me lol

you may have noticed that I have some fucking Posting Demons in my head today, sorry if this fucks up you feed in the next 8 hours. I don't know a better way to exorcise them than to just keep firing.

Don't your girlfriend wish she got- shot- by me?
