I love that Nvidia's new idea (not really new) is to delete artistry entirely and before anyone says "Studios could choose not to use it" not when Nvidia is paying studios tons of money to use it a lot fo the time, the people who make that call do not care about artistry or often people.

almost every day I play a little of the demo for Vampire Crawlers from @poncle.games and I am still finding things hidden in it lol... (today I found purple death)

"Psychology says people who constantly apologize for things that aren't their fault aren't being polite. They grew up in an environment where someone else's bad mood was always their responsibility to fix." share.google/LxDa6ftaoJmN...

@sacaitlin.bsky.social he suggested this monstrocity

@sacaitlin.bsky.social you will just have to imagine the skin and hair because she is stuck atm in the middle of the intro.

so many addons in wow having errors that people blamed on the changes blizzard made only for it to come out like half the authors "Vibe code" which is slang for AI garbage, the community should (and seemingly is) shun every author doing this and not just because they are broken.

@vampire.poncle.games hey does or can our progress from the Crawlers demo carry over to the full game?

tried the demo for Vampire Crawler's on steam, it's pretty fun, I've been looking forward to it for awhile.

demo is out right now on steam 👀

My partner asked me to draw this after discussing how Kermit and Micolash are both just goofy little guys anyway here share the joy/suffering

Nintendo has shadow-dropped a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on the eShop, with a physical version coming in April. vgc.news/news/nintend...

Saw it on my timeline... not only do localizers generally not ruin games (there are exceptions to everything however) but more often than not the people who think they do only think so because the localized version clarifies something that angers them.

if I had one major critique of Nioh 3 it would be that they took the feedback that the start up time on enemy grab attacks was kind of short and made it shorter, the only warning most of the time is a sound that is almost always barried in the mix.

meanwhile my favorite Nioh creator just pretend crashing out about how angry the game makes him and then at the end saying they can't do this, they can't make the game this fun and that it's like a drug and it's ruining his life lol.

Nothing will make me leave a video or stream about Nioh (regardless of which game specifically) than people trying to say what they think the game is while entirely forming their opinion on it via not engaging with it's systems.

my OF is 30% off today of.com/lillaylaxo

I already thought Nioh 3 was S tier but it just keeps getting better this is the game of a life time for me.

if you as a company sell your product saying that it is a permanant license with full features and updates forever and then after a few years change your mind and rename it legacy and start charging people to upgrade you should be shot into the sun, fuck you ReWASD you fucking suck.

been going through a small amount of caffeine withdrawl and was not sure why... should have read the random selection of coffees my fav roaster sent me... 2 out of the 3 are decaf, they are delicious so I am not complaining but I do not need to off set that.

@estroclysm.neocities.org the demo is sooooo good, my buddy and I are so fucking hype for Nioh 3, we played over 20 hours of the demo alone not counting time spent just talking about it lol.

People do not seem to understand, if you were the age they were during that time you were one of the two fans, there was no if, it is just a fact, I am an Asuka guy but probably have more in common with Rei... which isn't strictly a comforting thought.

starting to hear what I can only assume is either AI voice or AI "enhanced" voice in video games and it is unsettling, it all has this robotic sound to it like it's being filtered threw a 90s phone cable mic

tried the Nioh 3 demo with a buddy and it is better than Nioh 2 in almost every way which is wild because 2 wormed it's way into my heart so hard that it is now one of my favorite games ever.

is it normal for xbox series controllers to just wobble around in side the case if you press on them while moving them? happens with both sticks on this custom and not at all with my old xbox one controller... are series controllers just rubbish or is this the unluckiest controller ever?

This is gaslighting (not a joke)

I cancelled my sub when they did the giant sale on AI tools and people told me it was just one time, when you give them a pass they will abuse it.

@azurelore.bsky.social happy Nioh 3 progression demo day!

it's WIIIILD to me when people say Nioh 2 was ugly and that Nioh 3 looks like it will be ugly and then people put it against games that are subjectively much uglier.... I do not get people.

Kimimi rocks and you should read their articles if you have an interest in retro gaming of any kind (and sometimes retro like modern games)

...or you could wade into something spooky with my Resident Evil articles instead! I've covered original games, remakes, Game .com and Famicom demakes, Sweet Home... kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/resident-evi...

UGH I amd vibing with an artist who does covers of old classic game music and I go to their artist page to see more... and EVERY SINGLE ALBUM has AI cover art... fuck off, I will find what I need from someone who cares.

it's really interesting to compare enemy pathing/patrols in classic wow and wow retail, Blizzard was incredibly toxic about this in vanila lol, enemies will patrol so far to ensure you can never go afk, they wanted you locked in all the time

I had the pleasure of reviewing Tokyo Xtreme Racer for @pcgamer.com! Come take a look (then make sure you buy the game) :D www.pcgamer.com/games/racing...

it's still so weird and cool to me that a reletively edgelordish and kind of rubbish game like x-kaliber 2097 and a kind of mediocre band from Canada put together one of hardest soundtracks to ever touch the SNES using and inspired by a remix from one of their EPs, I think I've made this before.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Any advice Tom has on making indie games is worth listening to, but I really want to highlight his thoughts on price point - it's well explained. I do think that the movement to get indies to charge more mostly just hurt new indies - with fewer players, fewer/worse reviews, and lower sales.

I don't know who needs to hear this but the reason you do not hear any changes when a DJ presses buttons is not because it's fake, it's because the tracks are on a delay so the DJ can work on the track ahead of time.

that feeling when you see a game that should appeal to you and the people it does appeal to swear its so amazing but when you try said game it is dreadful? like irredeemably bad and you wonder how people can enjoy it?

boo fucking hoo, lets ignore all the dumb shit that is e-waste and focus on the stuff that makes life actually more livable.

Beware: It's GOTY season

it is "Interesting" to see a bunch of smaller tech youtubers suddenly telling people not to buy the 9800X3D for gaming not because its overkill (which can be true) but instead recommending horrible non gaming intel cpus... suspicious.

ok every issue with my account should now be resolved, you can now reply freely.

@kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com are you finally able to reply to this account now? if not just post to me directly outside of this post, but i think it will work now.

I doubt anyone saw it because the events were on my other account @miriya.bsky.social but in an attempt to solve an issue ever since I switched to the blacksky pds with some people not being able to reply to my posts I locked myself out of everything for a couple hours lol.

@rude1.blacksky.team fun fact, in an attempt to furnish the email with the correct information I found the old migration info and password which worked... now I will update all my info rofl.

@catgirlfingies.quest LLM psychologist lol what a joke of a human.

Perhaps an unpopular opion and am absolutely saying it because I see a lot of discussion about it but I am not against AI art because "A human did not create it" I genuine do not care, my issue is art theft and envirnmental, also I dlslike people trying to use capitlism to attack it.

it's very interesting to play classic wow with people who swear retail wow is terrible only for them to whine about a million things that are annoying in classic which is EXACTLY how retail got the way it is, death by a thousand cuts (I like retail btw but it's a different game)
