I remember when I plugged my 32X into my Genesis to play an unfinished version of Doom and my skin blasted off my body destroying a train and the nearby supporting infrastructure.

Is anybody else's Gmail getting hit with piles of new spam going to the inbox (which has never happened in 10+ years of the same address) the same day they let themselves scan all our emails for AI?

To “my students and to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so.” www.huffpost.com/entry/histor...

YouTube served me some video about a therapist, a Christian and an atheist trying to talk about meaning in life. It's infuriating how vapid and just wrong most of what they said is, but because they used big words and said it calmly it was apparently an incredible discussion to the commenters.

I've never seen a more Junji Ito looking photo of a person in my life.

Reading Rebecca Heineman's profile and crying my eyes out. Fuck cancer. People shouldn't have to go through such pain and suffering. RIP.

Look at this cool bird! It's an Orange Fruit Dove.

Hey indie devs, this you?

I'm quite looking forward to playing Glintseeker Island. The mining minigame is what I'm most excited for but the whole package seems lovely. store.steampowered.com/app/3122600/...

I saw this post yesterday of a deceased, AI reanimated grandma reading to her grandson on a phone and I can't stop thinking about how evil it is. We can't just replace people and distort the memories of them, it's disgusting to a point I don't even like to talk about.

What horrible curse is this? 😅

What Metroid needs is to be more like The Big Bang Theory. I think everyone can agree it's so obvious in retrospect.

I genuinely thought this was parody from the first sentence but the fact that Illusory Wall posted it made me keep looking. Holy hell Metroid is dead and buried and I called it basically from the first trailer.

Demon's Souls was way ahead of it's time with how much it got right but in reflection the boss list is pretty weak. Most have cool atmosphere but there's so many gimmick bosses.

Did Saudi PIF and Silver Lake buy Ubisoft too?

That new Steam VR headset looks sick as hell. I really want it and hope it doesn't cost $900...

The PS5 is about to celebrate its 15th anniversary or something idk I probably lost 10 years during the worst of covid so that sounds right to me.

just learning about the united states democratic party

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Tech giants trading money back and forth forever under the guise of "AI". ))<>((

someone posted on the gtaforums claiming to be a rockstar employee, apparently website staff confirmed its legit yeah rockstar is still quite evil

Can we start a "future graveyard" of AAA devs who insist on destroying their own company chasing cash by enlisting the use of AI without understanding the implications?

So that GTA VI delay is cause they fired all those people for trying to unionize, right?

I'm just now finding out that some people speak fondly toward Nancy Pelosi? HUH?

Am I right to say the reason the US government is about to hit a new PB for being shut down is because they don't want to swear Adelita Grijalva into office as the decisive D vote to release the Epstein files?

What's the best anime of all time? I'll go first, NGE holds up, looks great and delivers on multiple levels depending on how deep you want to go.

They really do have fish of every size and shape.

When is the year of Gooigi? WHEN?

At some point Trump will pay someone to built a needle a little bit larger than the size of a camel and claim getting into heaven was easy for him.

Do you think I'm not cynical enough?

This green transparent GC is so sick! Is it custom? I've never seen one like that before and I've looked.

Hades I / II gives me the same feeling I got from Disco Elysium where I get to live in a little dynamic world with interesting people who care about what happens to everyone else.

I want whatever this is for the people in power.

If FBC: Firebreak ends up doing real damage to Remedy I will lose my damn mind. (They're reporting a big loss of 16 million Euro)

I get on an industry level why it works this way but it's really anti-consumer that if you miss that you got a Humble Choice for 6 months sometimes half the codes are unredeemable.

This is a harder pattern but you can get through it if you hug the right and just weave up and down as the balls spread out. Good to save a bomb for this one if you can.

I'm at the point with Microsoft where Playground Games could be 2 weeks from releasing the new Fable and they'd just lay off the whole team, cancel the game and say something about the future of AI and I'd be like "yeah that checks out".

Do you think they ever finally broke Benjamin?

One thing that still makes me joyful is how dialed in and great games have been in recent years. There's so many excellent ones coming out every month - despite what angry YouTubers seem to think. If you know what you like, there's tons of new games all the time.

Am I petty for finding it classless when someone posts their game sold "x million copies"? It feels like saying "I just got rich as hell" directly to our faces when everyone is struggling.

Do any horror game fans remember a trailer from the last 3 years where you were in a very naturalistic 3D residential house sneaking down a hallway and to the left there was a person (maybe child) in a laundry room eating someone? I have this image of it but no memory of a name.

I just thought of "Conservative Daria" as a show and now I want brain bleach.

So much of our discontentment comes from wanting to control each other because we feel out of control ourselves - this can spiral into anger. A lot of the time we feel out of control because there's a massive amount of money to be made from making people afraid of things that aren't problems.

De Per Son Ali Express 🧠😶‍🌫️

It's over... someone finally made the Jelly Zoo and it wasn't me.

All of this industry is entirely about making increasingly complex ways to turn on and off little lights.

sherman, for the love of god!

Mood board 2025.

This was all so easy to see coming if you were an atheist in the 2000's tracking Christian nationalism. They've wanted the same things for as long as I've been alive. Just ratcheting power to the right over and over.
