i have one specific issue that whenever i turn hdr on there's always an adaptive brightness applied based on how light the screen is and its the most distracting thing in the world and googling it brings up one million people complaining and still no one can fix it at all

Gonna give this one extra plugs today and put VoIP out Monday. Me and Santo are watching the fourth Saint Seiya movie tonight if you have Seiya emails send them in! [email protected]!

one thing i think a lot these days wrt games crit is what is even the value of a game being good. obviously the value is i like it, find it rewarding, all those things. but i dont actually think there's much inherent value in it beyond that and we should be more honest about that

we should start talking about john wick like he's goku

merry christmas. here's my review of BIRDCAGE, a Silvergun-inspired bullet hell. as a gift. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqEz...

the pictures of fully clothed anime women i have been seeing rt’d today have been significantly hornier than the occasional hardcore pornography you guys retweeted before maybe this jp art migration is real

nightdive should probably be nationalised under some cultural preservation department

incredible things are happening on tiktok www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8y5e9Jo/

playing some heretic. pretty good. slower paced than doom and with bigger levels that feel less mazelike but more like tiny metroidvania dungeons. at least in episode 1 idk they might get crazy after the shareware one lol

if the japanese artists come over here that’s a genuine tipping point

did seventy thousand british children all get new pcs for christmas and install steam at midnight what is going on

one of my favourite dumb video game anecdotes was that travellers tales pitched a lara croft/indiana jones lego game and lucasfilm were like no. fuck no. never mention those thieving bastards ever again

pretty funny that astro bot's big emotional playstation brand worship climax ends on a banger composed by a dude at techsoft for a sega saturn game. that is because sony are evil but team asobi are real mfs

astro bot is a game i have conflicted feelings on because it has some of the most genuinely repellent brand worship to ever be placed into a work of art sold for actual money but whenever resetera argues about it i forget all that and become its biggest shooter on earth. thats the goat

i’m not gonna lie, for family reasons this christmas day is going to be one of the hardest and saddest of my life so thank you everyone for being nice to me this year. i endeavour to have a better 2026 less derailed by crises

our final GGP on Build Fighters is here! we take user questions and do some rankings and reflect on the past season:

almost penis means it wasn't penis

doing my part

got chocolate doom working with a reshade crt filter like a real freak. man. honestly more impressive at 320 pixels and 35 fps no wonder this went down like discovering fire

shadow generations is so funny. after literally two decades of making either total garbage or completely broken messes that nerds (me) insist no there's good in there they just suddenly made an insanely polished unambiguously incredible straight up better than mario game

i wonder what combination of microsoft writing ten billion lines of windows code with ai + game developers downsized beyond feasible limits + every game now installs an anti-cheat rootkit on your pc will lead to an extremely public disaster in the coming years

what are good examples of games that were a big deal at the time but have seemingly faded into, if not obscurity, then just a lesser profile than you’d expect. my go to is probably escape from butcher bay. kids don’t know there was a riddick game and it was legit

learning that there was a controversy in the stalker enhanced editions as they deleted every single piece of soviet era signage which is pretty awkward as the game takes place in chernobyl lmao

still mostly lurking before diving in but i have to say i am a bit confused by doom gameplay mods. there’s so many and they change so much but very few of them seem to have like. levels?? there’s a couple TCs and occasionally some have recommended wads but they seem to be the minority

ok sorry sorry i shouldn’t care but why does steve rogers live in a weird isolated farm homestead and not like. in new york

thinking about the evolution of shooters. doom 1 was released on december 11 1993. resident evil 4 was released on january 13 2005. 11 years and a single month lol.

he’s crashing this plane…… with no survivors!

every christmas people post about the folgers incest commercial so every christmas i go to watch it and every christmas i am taken out by the brother saying hey just got back in from west africa. no one talks like that

arbiter thel’vadam we have to distract kang

doesn't avengers doomsday somehow have to wrap up like five unrelated cliffhangers from movies whose post-credit scenes were teasers for shit that definitely isn't happening anymore lol. i have not been keeping track

every single time i see anything about the upcoming avengers movie whether it be real or leaks or changed plans i'm like. good luck guys. this is incomprehensible

a youtuber that seemed chill had a ghost of yotei video called Political Propaganda Has No Place In Gaming and i was like oh no! but the vibes felt off so i checked myself and it turned out he meant propaganda as in anti-woke guys making bait videos based on nonsense lies. real rollercoaster lol

[natalie imbruglia in the pokemon world] i'm all out of faith this is how i spheal i am cold and i'm maushold lying naked on boldore

as someone who does the opposite all the time i can’t endorse this enough lol. i have wasted so much time overworrying about which version/order is best and it’s literally ruining my life do NOT be me

A new Your Uncle’s Beach House! I was joined once again by @greatgrebe.bsky.social and @poyfuh.bsky.social to talk about It’s MyGO!!!!!’s dissonant sequel Ave Mujica! We have a lot of thoughts about this season, but we are united in one thing: we stan Nyamu www.abnormalmapping.com/your-uncles-...

more games writing thoughts, adjacent to but not really in the discourse: i do think a creative and artistic process that primarily centers player agency is inherently one that produces bad writing

when i am president i will establish an international organization of the top scientists, programmers and conceptual thinkers of our time to fix the input lag in pcsx2

I'm Lizzy, 40 year old disabled trans fem. I like trains and movies and gaming and communism. I do not make much money so any contributions are deeply appreciated as I try to get by. ko-fi.com/icecream store.steampowered.com/wishlist/id/...

if you’re only seeing it reverberate around the current is games writing bad discourse is an excellent sleight of hand once again because the original post didn’t say that it said gamers should read more books. but they never argue that point do they

do NOT download this. do not share it, do not use it, do not seed it and whatever you do do not listen to it. spotify's music quality is fucking ass

I am so deeply sorry to be in the position to have to pull this lever again, but I just watched my car get towed away and I don't really know what else to do anymore. More details in the update & description, but if you're able to help out or share, we would be grateful beyond words.

FFC review: AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH (2025), by Walter Chaw (@mangiotto.bsky.social). filmfreakcentral.net/2025/12/avat...

iycmi i wrote about the weird, upcoming fishing game from @thewatermuseum.bsky.social

thinking about jar jar binks. most insane character in cinema history? kind of a magic trick in that there is no way for a white person to engage with him without being racist. probably including this tweet
