If you need so much help writing an email subject line that it is faster to go to another website, type in a prompt that is longer than the subject line would be, wait for a machine to generate ideas, and then copy/paste in the email, you are the sloth from Zootopia.

easily Rise of Skywalker. i understood how star trek fans felt about Abrams after ST: Into Darkness. a movie whose thoughtlessness was so aggressive as it not only tried to 'wait nevermind' everything from TLJ, but annihilated the meaning and intent of everything in its series that came before it.

okay which of my mutuals are hitting up GDC because it looks like I'm going 👀

Phoenix exasperatedly getting shunted out the airlock by Maya, Trucy, Apollo, and Athena is just about the most accurate portrayal of the character dynamics there is.

Pokémon Pokopia director Takuto Edagawa confirms Minecraft-style "cloud" servers that don't require the host to be online. https://bit.ly/46cNFk5

every time someone says "there's no putting AI back in the box just get used to it" I have to ask, "do we just write off the environmental concerns and pushing against it on those grounds because [thanos voice]it is inevitable" or are we no longer allowed to oppose bad things because they are bad

MRW I forgot to morge it back into develop 🤦

Fantastic thread from Katrina! Here's some video game examples to back up what she's saying. If a video game translated in 1990 (which had one of the Japanese developers checking every single line to confirm accuracy) can manage to properly translate 「」, so can you! (thread: 1/10)

"it'll never work without a person" yeah they want a person they pay $30k a year with no prior training who is trapped in that gig instead of ~$100k with other good options to leave for "the work won't be as good" they literally don't care if it costs half as much to sell 51%+ as many they'll do it

I can always count on my students to make me litter their assignments with "Why is this in quotes?" and "Why is this capitalized?" Please, J-E translators, I'm begging you. Do not import Japanese punctuation/style. It's almost always wrong in English. It's bad. I'm pulling my hair out over here.

genuinely legendary resume. rest in peace o7

me when i'm digging through resources files in two versions of a game to try and figure out who on the dev team made a given audio sample

if my only exposure to Nirvanna the Band the Show was the wii shop video, will the movie be comprehensible in any way?

VGHF's new magazine drops on the digital library enabling me to relive true 3-D HORROR!

‪ i got a better keyboard and it is so nice to play on ahhh. the sound and the key action is so wildly different and nicer than my starter piano

In Japanese, you address elder men as OG-chan and i think that's beautiful

I recently discovered that my new earbuds could connect to two devices simultaneously and I am blown away by this (evidently not new) capability. I can swap betwen my PC and my phone listening seamlessly! What the hell!

When I was like 7, my uncle dated a woman from the south who had a daughter with a thick southern accent; we played this game together and to this day I can't hear the title without hearing [southernly]: "YALL WE'RE FIXIN' TO PLAY ARCUS ODYSSEY! YALL WE'RE PLAYIN' ARCUS ODDYSEY NAO" fun memory

50 new games a day on Steam. 350 per week. 18,000+ per year (as of 2 years ago). Regardless of the quality of each individual title, that is an absolute mountain of new games that the market cannot possibly support.

coming to L.A. next weekend for a few days, woo!

your roflcopter suddenly looks a lot less impressive, as i roll up in my luxurious lmaousine

hmmmm might need to find lodging for gdc👀

Non seulement @wilbertroget.bsky.social compose des symphonies somptueuses, non seulement il a été bercé comme moi/nous par @yasunorimitsuda.procyon-studio.com et son sublime Chrono Cross, mais en plus il joue de la flûte divinement et réussit à le sublimer sous la baguette de @awintory.bsky.social.

this was it thank you 🙏

WHAT AND LEGACY OF KAI NIS BACK TOO WITH A 2D ACTION GAME????

the protag of belmont's curse being trevor and sypha's daughter AND she looks cool as hell? yes

I go to work for one day and come back and suddenly there's FINALLY A NEW CASTLEVANIA GAME THAT LOOKS SICK AND TAKES A LITTLE INSPO FROM THE SHOW????

my lawyer friends posting on LinkedIn about what's going vs how this whole thing definitely looks to me as a non-lawyer

Prince of Persia was an experiment in rotoscoping. It put lifelike animation on '80s home computers. Designer Jordan Mechner converted VHS tapes and movie footage into pixels -- and went way beyond the tech of his time. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-the-li...

Pokémon Pokopia Demo Event Is Heading To London This Week. (Repost)

it's genuinely stunning to me you'd keep a game in the hopper for a decade and then do huge layoffs after a single month. a month is nothing in live service terms. less than nothing.

best soundtrack in the Paper Mario series, i will accept hearty agreement but no dissent in these comments

Nishiki is a top-tier talent and IMO one of the most exciting game composers working right now.

spaceport theme still hitting 33 years later

Ultimately right now in video games I feel surrounded by people who are worried, all the time, about long-term unemployment and ensuing social (or actual) death and so if you seem very invested in coming up with fun uses for LLMs in games I find you despicable.

Cairn good

speaking of games that are excellent...cairn

almost done replaying Ghost Trick, it's my partner's first time, and I am trying so hard to be chill when she asks questions that would give things away also the remaster's soundtrack is A+++

oof

it seems unhinged to me that the windows version of itunes STILL cannot handle a change in audio devices without a restart. or i'm bad at this, that's possible too.

damn, they're still inspiring me to this day

Introducing the “AI-BOROS”: the few companies at the ‘top’ of the economy handing each other billions of (debt-ridden) dollars for a product that both doesn’t exist AND doesn’t make any money. and we ALL get to go broke when it inevitably implodes ha ha i love it here!!! youtu.be/ifyaI4TOsDM?...
