HELP

It’s killing me that Time Stranger is coming to the original Switch as well. Bamco not even trying to hide that the double dip money is part of their business plan

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

blog post about how using ai shit makes you a scab

Hooting and hollering at how they used NPC dialogue in Fallout S2E2

We’ve just gotta bully them a liiiiittle more

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?

Going through the 1995 E3 Show Dailies. There are some amazing trade-only ads in these that I don't know have ever been reproduced

I've played for over an hour and haven't encountered a single battle lol But it still feels like I'm 'playing' something if that makes sense? It's not just watching cutscenes and mashing through dialogue, you've got to solve puzzles and piece together where to go from asking around the towns

I don't wanna do my job (rerunning the same scenarios a bunch of times with slight variations) I wanna do gamedev (playing through the same sequence multiple times to validate each permutation)

Did they seriously announce a new Horizon game on the day of a Nintendo Direct hahahahaha CURSED

GOTY on lock

God is Bamco predictable lmao So glad I held off

How can it be the Overwatch if there’s 2 of them 1 of them 2 of them 1 of them 2 of them 1 of them 222222 offsjskwwvkclwlpelwmene:::::::::::::::: FATAL ERROR REBOOT (Y/N)

Started playing OG Dragon Quest 7 and I remain convinced that 2D Sprites in 3D World is the best art style

You can’t be naming your play that, man

My neighbourhood is becoming overrun with undesirables (e-bikes)

There is an actual argument that this curse actually worked.

oh cool

All the Dragon Quest VII discourse is side-stepping over the most important question surrounding this remake. How can it be the Dragon Quest if there's VII of them? Doesn't sound so 'Dragon' to me!

Imagine showing A Goofy Movie to someone who only knows Goofy from Kingdom Hearts and they're just hanging out waiting for Cloud to show up

imagine, with everything else going on at this company, how someone thought this was a good idea.

For @unwinnable.com's February issue of Exploits, I wrote a short piece on practical effects in The Vourdalak and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess which became a treatise of sorts on puppetry.

The cuts to the DQVII remake are fascinating as someone who hasn't played the original, because people were saying you didn't unlock the job system in the original until 50 hours in while reviews of the remake are saying they cleared it in 50 hours Was there that much fluff!? Or are the cuts nuts?

Side-rant but I hate difficulty options in games that are like “Normal - for players who want a normal experience Hard - for players who want a hard experience” and then Normal is dead easy and Hard is Kaizo ROM Hack level, with nothing in-between And you can’t change your mind once you’ve started

There’s like three of these stories every day now. No companies are making anything anymore

It drives me nuts when someone says a game streamlines too much to the point where nothing poses challenge or requires effort and then the Most Annoying Guy rushes in to say “Well as a dad with no time, this sounds PERFECT! 😎 They should also make it so you don’t need to push the buttons anymore”

Got curious and looked up Prime 4’s plot because I’m probably not playing it any time soon They really thought they were onto something with the companion characters, huh. And that that backstory for Sylux was an exciting reveal worth 100% the game for, huh. Goodness me.

Its a very surreal time to be playing through Trails Beyond the Horizon.

Jeffrey Epstein sent a complaint to ABC about how it’s taking too long to reveal Laura Palmer’s killer

When I watch the tennis I keep getting jump scared by ads treating MAFS like an Endgame-level cinematic event

It's so bizarre because you never hear this shit about like old movies or something. Something being of it's time doesn't make it not worth playing ESPECIALLY when it comes to old RPGs

I legit fear for the overall game literacy of new junior designers in the coming years for various reasons and a big part of that is just, a lack of idiosyncratic games in many diets that aren't, like, tied to insidious monetization loops. Let people play games that are weird in honest ways, dude.

If I was a billionaire I would not take trips to Crime Island. I would own The Simpsons arcade machine

How are you supposed to explain to people how this entire social, political, and economic reality is entirely downstream from anime getting banned on some dipshit's forum 25ish years ago

I don’t know whether she was in on it but there was a woman at the Apple Store trying to get them to unlock a very clearly stolen phone lmao

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

been enjoying responding to each new genai tech reveal with a slow, drawn out, "yeah but it still can't make scribblenauts"

Had to update my phone to get it repaired and this new iOS looks and runs like shiiiiiiiiiiit

SINCE WHEN BOOOOOOOO
