remember, society under capitalism (especially american capitalism) mainly functions as a punishment for the crime of being born

the biggest positive story on climate is that it doesn’t seem to matter how much of the world is run by reactionary fascists: the rise of solar is unstoppable

THIS STUDIO MADE THE FAMOUS IDTECH ENGINE AND YOU'RE FORCING THEM TO USE FUCKING **UNREAL**??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? FUCK YOU

look as much as i would love a new obsidian fallout the cost is too great obsidian and bethesda both have just had major layoffs do to the xbox restructuring i hope that the remaining devs are at least treated well and compensated fairly but genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, FUCK MICROSOFT

Xbox wants to have one BILLION active daily players. This is Steam's current daily players according to SteamDB. Xbox wants to have over 20x the daily active users as Steam, which I guess they're expecting to just materialize out of the ether after massive layoffs. This is completely delusional.

Look at the history of any big game development icon and you'll see a string of small roles in small projects, and often failed projects too, but it was the luxury to learn from those roles that made them who they are. Once they retire, they'll leave no successors because they keep getting fired.

Dude!!! Look out!!!

I may not like the heat, but one thing I love about summer is that all the cool bugs come out. Found this really big beetle in the backyard. He was a big softie and hung out with me for like 10 minutes. Spoilered for people who don't like bugs.

Downloaded. Compressed. Shared.

She rhythm on my heaven til I groove

crazy to think that the root of the market dominance that's letting Sony do that is this video

If I don't have the option to physically own the games that I buy, I genuinely have no reason to buy your console. I put up with digital games on PC because my PC has other uses. If you reserve the right to turn the machine I bought that ONLY plays games into a useless brick, I'm not buying it.

Friendly reminder

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

This is what China did in 2009 when there was a similar scandal.

This stupid idea immediately entered my head

Anyone else remember that Terry Crews Pokémon Champions commercial? #voicepost

I've pretty much only played Pokémon singles my whole life, but Champions has opened my eyes to VGC. I'm addicted to Mega Crab trick room sweeps.

What the fuck is it good for? Im asking sincerely. Medical people say its shit for diagnosing, its utter garbage for creative fields, it cannot teach and hallucinates false answers, programmers have to fix its code half the time, businesses find it doesn't help productivity and it causes psychosis.

Everyone knows the "Where's the caveman?" or "Watch me swooce right in" bits from Misadventures of Skooks, and they are really funny, but I think this is here a really great bit that gets overlooked a lot. It kills me every time.

Love that their lesson was "What other stories can we steal?" instead of "What other original ideas resonate with people?" Hollywood is broken.

Stop giving Epic your money. Stop playing Fortnite.

Ketchup is too sweet. Why would I buy something salty just to purposefully smother it in sugar sauce?

we at xbox are coming to terms with the AI-fueled hardware crunch, which we helped create, failing to meet profit margins, that we made up, declining software sales, because we're self-cannibalizing our games specifically, and also everyone hates us which, believe it or not, also our fault

Game failure? Layoffs Game success? Layoffs Game delayed? Layoffs Game delivered? Layoffs Game announced? Layoffs Game unannounced? Layoffs Game good? Layoffs Game bad? Layoffs Game AI? Layoffs Game no-AI? Layoffs Game hated? Layoffs Game beloved? Layoffs Money cares more for layoffs than games.

Its just this meme over and over again. STOP BUYING STUDIOS TO CLOSE THEM

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (GBA, 2004)

I put far too much effort into the visuals

So 4 years ago, Elon Musk had trouble buying twitter for $44B and had to get several loans amounting to $13B since he was only able to produce $31B of his own money. Now I'm expected to believe that he suddenly has over 30 times that amount of money to his name? It's all just posturing and bullshit.

If you were to count out a million seconds, it would take you 11 and a half days. A billion seconds would take you 31.7 years. But a trillion seconds would take 31,700 years — to reach that point today, you would have needed to start counting around the time that neanderthals went extinct.

The CIA doesn't even try any more. They just stare at you like this.

Let's get something straight here Elon Musk is not a trillionaire. He could not produce a trillion dollars if asked. Modern economics is fake made up bullshit that constantly stretches definitions to make these freaks feel cool about themselves.

Just checked and Elon Musk still can't get a boner or feel joy now that he's the world's first trillionaire.

You can't buy any of the Shadow Hearts games anywhere. Just give me a trilogy remaster or SOMETHING.

It's never over, you can always learn new skills, and someone being ahead of you doesn't mean you'll never catch up. Fuck this crabs in a barrel mentality.

Putting a black musician into a crime thriller and then saying you're just exploring his future is a special kind of racism. There's no other word for it. Every time I think it can't get worse, RGG keeps talking.
