High precision C. Viper gameplay requiring a complicated set of cancels that if performed correctly look like you didn't do anything at all and if botched will immediately get you killed IS a strong way of portraying her secret agent character through gameplay.

Leaked early version of the ending to Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Episode 11 suggests it was intended to tie in to the second Hathaway film.

What saddens me most is seeing veteran devs leave the industry entirely, taking decades of institutional knowledge with them. Younger devs who grew up loving games and dreamed of making them are wondering if there’s a future for them here at all.

In my 40+ years making games, this has felt like the hardest period to navigate for game devs. It’s difficult to find or hold onto work, difficult to secure funding, and difficult to break through and find an audience. Incredibly talented people are struggling.

When I referred to the industry as being “crashier” now than it was in 1983, I meant how it feels to live and work in this industry as a developer, not in terms of industry revenue. A🧵...

The animation chat has me thinking one telling thing - in the years since AI arrived, there's not been a ground-up indie phenomenon, like we saw with earlier tech (Flash, etc). It hasn't unlocked anyone's creativity. For all the anti-gatekeeping rhetroic, nothing anyone cares about has been born.

What the hell is happening to my predictive text

been rewatching the original Gundam while I wind down for the night and it sure would be nice if I had a cool robot so I could remind my enemies why war is bad.

oh god im out of ammo I better reload my primary firearm instead of switching to a secondary firearm

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

I don't even use my fucking spellcheck anymore after it started hallucinating words right out of Star Wars

Hi, guy who runs one of the fastest-growing publications in the United States. If you use AI here to write you are summarily shunned. It is instantly recognizable as hack shit.

bad news bro. they released an audio drama cd of you in japan and you say some weird out of character shit in it. yyeaaaah i dunno its like dubiously canon. idk man. your official va did it and everything. people are gonna keep bringing it up as funny trivia

The results are in: 0/4 of the recent Tales Remasters/Ports have credited the English localizers who worked on them. This has been an ongoing issue since 2014, when Tales games suddenly stopped crediting English localizers in both remasters and new entries. #TranslatorsintheCredits (1/8)

sorry boss, i got sundered so i can’t come into work today. but good news: fourteen diminutive, debased shards of my soul will be there

I'm a big fan of a decent chunk of the story beats of Arknights, but 90% of them are at a higher conscious level where I think they're clever or thought-provoking or impressively ambitious. None of them really got into true brainworms territory until Kristen tore Saria's heart out and chewed on it

They tell me building a ski resort in the equator is economic suicide, but I say with a wizard and enough money for a giant snowglobe, anything is possible

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful what would you buy to break the curse?

The English manual for WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames states that Dr. Crygor created Wario's car. However, the French manual changes this into Dr. Crygor claiming to have created Wario himself. This makes him either Wario's father or Wario some kind of "Crygor's Monster".

Brother this pornographic fanart fails to capture the spirit of the character

I bought a PS5 and a Steam Deck OLED on launch with the understanding that I was fucking myself over financially and would pay extra for not waiting. What do you mean they both became more expensive. Why is it acting like real estate.

Someone's gotta pay, this can't continue. For decades, we've embraced the computer, and integrated it more & more into our lives. It is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity. Spec requirements keep rising,not just for games but across the board. The computer *must* remain financially accessible.

Japan's Supreme Court will rule this year for the first time on whether barring same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. Ahead of the verdict, Marriage for All Japan has taken its "Love Wins" campaign nationwide. Here's what they hope to achieve with their 47-prefecture campaign.

As Jabba the Hutt's son I'm often gatekept from progressive spaces due to preconceived notions about my family. At the same time, I acknowledge the reasonable concerns my presence would raise, and I'm working every day to unlearn the harmful attitudes instilled in me on my father's pleasure barge.

the thing about rotta the hutt is he's jabba the hutt's son. but he's his own man. he's not like his father. jabba the hutt. you might think they would be similar. but rotta the hutt is his own man. he's not like jabba the hutt. he's different

it turns out i did review that bond game after all! it's got a bunch of charm and excellent little moments that manage to shine through through a bland blockbuster structure. which is pretty much a direct adaptation of both the strengths and flaws of your average Bond Film:

Yaaaaaaaay love making a thread about how important friction is to game design only to see Actually Big Names saying the same

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

Square said the same about Final Fantasy back in the 90s, actually.
