Let's see if I've got a shot at evenly finishing this chapter of Tokyo Xanadu today. watch.cney.stream

I've long considered the CoD franchise to be lazy cash-grabs, but apparently blops 7 (slops 7?) takes the cake by a long shot. (And from what I've read at a glance, the campaign is apparently the worst ever.) There is absolutely no excuse for supporting this absolute garbage with your money.

A post that perfectly encapsulates the huge concern I have with everyone casually allowing discord to absorb (and ultimately obfuscate) years of institutional knowledge. blog.discourse.org/2025/11/the-...

The brunt of my rotated work schedule this week is now over, but I'm definitely in recuperation mode today, so I'm opting to chill out with Tokyo Xanadu again since I'm hardly in shape for shmupping. watch.cney.stream

Maybe this is the chapter where the plot thickens in Tokyo Xanadu... watch.cney.stream

Every time I get an email or read a post about how "AI is inevitable" and so you need to do X or Y to get ready for it, I screenshot it. I've saved them all. When the bubble bursts, I'm going to be a menace. I will be unstoppable. I will be taken to prison for the harassment I am going to do.

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied: "Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

Time to finish Chapter 4 of Tokyo Xanadu eX+, now additionally equipped with the improved translation from the Switch version. watch.cney.stream

During my stream yesterday, while lamenting the rough localization of Tokyo Xanadu eX+, I was reminded that a new translation was done for the Switch version, and there is a patch to apply that on PC. I'd seen this once before, but totally forgot about it when I finally chose to start the game.

Despite rotating my schedule for this week, my brain still decided it wanted to be awake as of 2 hours ago, so I guess I'll make the most of it and play more Tokyo Xanadu watch.cney.stream

Bsky's T&S team does not consider "eat the rich" to be a constructive purpose, and only cares about "disrespectful" as perceived by the ruling class, so make sure this filter is turned off under Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Moderation Service ("service" seems like quite a stretch, doesn't it)

Reminder/PSA (which I've probably mentioned more during stream than here): My streams may be sparse next week due to other stuff I have going on that involves schedule-juggling.

Finishing off Beyond Sunset Chapter 1, which I was almost done with yesterday, just have some cleanup to do. Will decide whether I want to start Chapter 2 today or do something else afterwards... watch.cney.stream

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips. If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Time to replay the chapter of Beyond Sunset that easily stood out the most to me when I played the early access version a year ago. watch.cney.stream

congratulations to @keepassxc.org on using the "who cares where it came from if it works the same" excuse for bringing LLM-generated slop into their codebase blog.xkeeper.net/thoughts/ran...

It's open season for games that are sold for money. Players should be able to inform potential buyers on the current state of the game and help them make a decision on whether the game is worth their time and money. If your game isn’t ready for reviews, you launched too soon.

I can't believe we're finally truly allowed to go to the mall in Tokyo Xanadu, so that's the first thing we're doing on this fine Friday afternoon/evening watch.cney.stream

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

RE LRT: Square Enix can fuck all the way off. Reminder: you do not "repair" AI slop output. You tear it out and replace it. Because repairing it takes MORE effort. i.e. if you want someone to repair your slop, you better offer more money than it would've cost to do it right the first time.

If you're wondering how this will go Square Enix handed off their mobile Octopath game to NetEase who immediately started using ChatGPT to translate everything resulting in text like this. When players complained they started asking fans to fix their translations in exchange for in-game currency

I'm not terribly interested in the latest shmup added to the Shmup Book Club's rotation, so I'm going to focus on finishing Tokyo Xanadu Chapter 3 this afternoon. Will see what I want to do after that if there's time. watch.cney.stream

Time to storm the castl-er... the apartment complex. watch.cney.stream

I love how the most universally-despised people in the world were like "we full-throatedly endorse this race-baiting rapist" and "don't vote for brown guy or we'll leave the city!" & now establishment Dems are panic-pretending this isn't also a clear referendum on their shriveled up quisling asses.

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win

My game also has this in the credit title.

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

If you're enjoying the malding and babyrage from the contingent of fascist wannabes out there today, just think how much of it you can bask in next November. This job is not remotely finished, but it's the first positive uptick we've had in a minute, so celebrate and get ready to go again.

Oh my god it was right after the chorus dropped too

Wrack Remake is now Wrack Reclamation (or as I like to call it, Wracklamation), to better set up for future plans. The remake has been shaping up pretty nicely, and I always wanted to see where future episodes would have gone, so I'm game for more of it. store.steampowered.com/news/app/253...

Tokyo Xanadu eX+ might feel pretty slow-paced due to the sheer amount of stuff that happens outside of battle areas, but darned if that doesn't make it a decent game to chill out with. watch.cney.stream

Yo nice, the Croakspire demo got an update with a bunch of fixes and improvements steamcommunity.com/games/374487...

Holy crap, YouTube actually gave a heads-up about automatically opting people into their auto-dubbing slop feature. It's still not as good as defaulting to off and making it a voluntary opt-in, but in 2025 where everything is forcing slop everywhere, it's something.

Today is likely to be an exploration-heavy day in Tokyo Xanadu eX+ as we dig into Chapter 3. watch.cney.stream

I see BlueSky is entering the "refuse to pre-learn the lessons that countless other companies already learned the hard way" phase. An inherently abusive feature with unlimited potential for being weaponized against minorities? What could possibly go wrong! (I hear the fediverse is nice, hint hint)

Last year I played Beyond Sunset while it was in early access; at the time, it was 2 episodes plus episode 0 and an incomplete episode 3. In September of this year, it released 1.0, so it's about time I get back around to checking that out. watch.cney.stream

Clearly I underestimated how long F.E.A.R. 3 would take me, given how it seemed to be commonly criticized for being short. Pretty darned sure I'm finishing it today though. May or may not do something else afterwards depending on time. watch.cney.stream

I've got unfinished business with F.E.A.R. 3 from last weekend to wrap up(?) today watch.cney.stream

It's recently come to my attention that someone made a fake UZDoom website. DO NOT CLICK IT! The only official website for UZDoom is ZDoom dot org and the ONLY official place to get future UZDoom downloads would be the official UZDoom Github page! Stay safe out there y'all [Boosts appreciated]

We're set up to potentially spend some serious time in the Eclipse today for Halloween. watch.cney.stream

Ended up shuffling my reduced work schedule this week, so I'm doing more I-can't-believe-it's-not-Persona now and will do shmups later tonight during the Shmup Book Club call. watch.cney.stream

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels: • YouTube Studio • Settings • Channel • Advanced settings • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality" • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

Getting the car serviced today and the number of weird glances I still get from people because im masked up drives me insane. I've never had Covid and im not about to jeopardize that because your goofy ass still thinks masking up is some kind of political demonstration and not me being cautious.

Tokyo Xanadu started out with a lot of exposition and exploring, but now we're literally geared up. Time to destroy some Greed (which is a thought I can especially get behind in 2025). watch.cney.stream

I continually hope more people realize that Spotify sucks ass and stop using it
