Me and wife have been going through the Sailor Moon Viz dub. Its been really fun hearing a lot of video game actors I recognize.

I volunteer

Well, didn't expect a mod companion quest in New Vegas to resolve and port me to Doc Mitchell's at Goodsprings . . . before I could finish another quest I had in the area. I feel like we could have gone to the Followers doctor by Crimson Caravan come on now. Good companion quest tho I think

Well we all know that a large portion of the venue needed to be reserved for the (checks notes) 30 remaining games journalists

I think the audience for big-budget AAA military shooters probably aren't and wouldn't be interested in indie FPS anyway, but it's a damn good jumping off point to talk about those cool indie FPS titles anyway. Dominic's rattled off a load of neat looking games, so go have a look and check em out!

Revengeance models are so easy to rip that I can just skip to the part where I make them look cool.

Massive pedulum swring of feelings when on one side is "Wow I love hanging out in this world and doing the shooty-bangs" and on the other is "I hate everything surrounding what I love about this game, the menuing, the monetization, the fact parts I paid for and enjoy may go away for no good reason"

This is why Kentucky Route Zero and 1000xResist are the goats

Yeah, Ice Pick Lodge have the avant garde stage play style on lock.

ever since i was a little girl i've always wanted to exceed the damage cap of 9999 with my Critical Attacks...

On my way to making New Vegas my most played game by hours spent.

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

I consider it my professional obligation to inflict as much collateral psychic damage on passing web designers as possible.

First Half Life, 3 Screenshots

Ah, interesting - they're doing a slightly polished up re-release of the original Guild Wars (with all expansions built in) - out in a couple weeks for $20. Always good to see legacy games like this getting some love. Especially as there's still nothing like the OG Guild Wars. One of a kind game.

Me when I get myself a paper clip

do yourself a favor and dont even hate-watch that shit this year, man. go see a movie. edgar wright's new thing is in theatres. demonschool is out in 2 days, birdcage is out tomorrow. play something from your backlog. tron 2.0 is $10 on gog. catch up on some tv. do groceries. whatever.

Happens so much in gaming now. Yes, video games have always adopted new tech, and AI like machine learning has been a part of that. Hell, Rogue used generative algorithms in the 80s. But the use of GenAI in gaming is new, and quite different. Although companies using it love to say it isn't.

pope saw the Metroid Prime 4 footage and thought he needed to chime in

Hold up

downloading this today after only learning just now that the new Anno uses AI assets. god. github.com/seeeeew/aiwa...

The thing about all the big shooters right now being compromised by AI workflows and coming out of BDS-targeted publishers is that STRAFTAT is free and just received a major update adding 50+ new maps.

don't worry everyone! my contacts at nintendo have informed me that after the first hour of metroid prime 4, miles mackenzie leaves and is replaced by the guy from the best buy spider man commercial

ok extremely funny that the horizon mmo has unreal engine sex doll character creator. total cultural victory for the guys that got mad about aloy's peach fuzz or whatever

We are all, at best, temporarily abled.

the eurogamer arc raiders review made this the crux of their argument but it really got me thinking of how insanely boring and small-minded you have to be to rob yourself of the opportunity for a voice actor to really make an imprint on your game, community, and legacy

imagine being so dull you rob yourself of a working relationship that gets you, like, lance reddick's "indeed" in destiny, jeff steitzer's... literally anything in halo multiplayer, chris edgerly's "i am!" in apex legends, steven barr's "SHEPAAAARD!!!!" in mass effect

in the end, no one is gonna remember "player stories" and "and then this happened" shit. they're anecdotes. but a character written with intent, voiced with intent, directed with intent? that's the shit that persists through generations, man. how lame do you have to be to want to actively avoid that

hearing reports out of Japan that Tatsuya Nakadai has passed away at 92. RIP to a legit legend.

It really is that simple.

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name He did this six times Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Already pondering my next New Vegas modding set up. I still have a good chunk of game left in this play through
