given how common the "you're the sole survivor of a spaceship crash on a hostile planet" story is in factory games, someone should make a reverse-factory game where you play as an alien tracking down and destroying colonizers who fall out of the sky and try to turn your planet into green tech cards

ラパンのピックアップならコンセプトカーだけど居た もし実際に発売していたら同じスズキのマイティボーイみたいな立ち位置になったのだろうか

Some part of me feels that people getting excited for a new Mario game is as weird as it would be getting excited for a new Little House on the Prarie book all the way in 1971

Thinking about how if george lucas had made the prequels about the actual clone wars he could have basically created an American Gundam but cared too much about Anakin's prepubescent love affair and repackaging racist stereotypes as evil aliens.

That's Fucking Right

去年の年末に描いたやつ モチーフはDan HartmanのInstant Replay

Reflecting on the 3 eras of Regular Car Reviews: 1. Avant-garde lynchian reviews that took the automotive journalist world by storm 2. Weirdly formulaic, boring promo videos for vaguely-scammy vehicle giveaways 3. Car-shaped ads to help fund Brian's second-childhood furry kink convention meetups

There's a persistent executive delusion that the reason AI adoption hasn't taken off is because people "don't know how to use it right". They're treating it like the introduction of PCs to workflows in the 90s. Except 90s office applications emulated the type of things people actually needed to do.

A long time ago some very philosophical economists and historians looked at human history and concluded "when people are able to choose what they want, they tend to make pretty optimal choices" and an entire world read that as "the government should enable and support me fucking people over."

Michał Kiciński, one of the co-founders of CD PROJEKT, and the co-founder of GOG, has acquired GOG from CD PROJEKT FAQ: www.gog.com/blog/gog-is-...

Curtis Sliwa watching from the distance:

My heart froze when I read 'CDPR sells GOG'. Thankfully it's actually good news. It's now just independent and self-owned.

The failure of NFTs was not that they asked people to arbitrarily purchase useless things as a means of signalling wealth, it's that they didn't build an Online Country Club around them, for the type of person who decides who to socialize with by the value of the car they drive up in.

modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

I think AMD accellerating FSR Redstone development comes down to it probably being a requested feature set for a late 2027/early 2028 PS6. Console-wide FSR3-based PSSR2, GPU accellerated Lumen/Nanite (lots of games still use CPU lumen) and VRR-targeting framgen would count as a generational leap.

Ever since the crypto crash, Nvidia's main tactic has been to start restricting supply at boom times and limit software features to new hardware only, so that when crashes occur, old GPUs are outdated and too limited in supply to pose a threat to their next generation. They're already doing this.

the most terrifying thing about death stranding 2 is completing it and seeing that despite having done 397 orders with S rank, there's 116 more orders that only unlock once you beat the game.

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

They gave Balatro an 18+ only rating because it had poker cards in it. Disney Solitaire has literal actual real money gambling with dark pattern lootbox microtransactions and is for ages 3 and above.

Joachim mode feels so cool in Lament of Innocence, doing psychic sword shit is so much cooler to me than swinging one normally lmao

this is one reason why FF13's Stagger mechanic is on the same level as RE4's OTS or Halo's Shield/Two-Weapon in the "most things copying it failed to understand why it Worked to begin with and are lesser because of it"

Pretty convinced the reason death stranding 2 isn't at the top of everyone's minds this year is purely because no one actually finished it, because this game is -fucking incredible- jesus christ.

'Zorryn'

It's hard to explain how death stranding 2 is a game about the inherent cruelty of needing to protect oneself from others when you can use poop grenades to capture monsters to later summon them mid-boss fight to have little kaiju battles and the game starts plays 60s music.

I think death stranding 2's story is very negatively impacted by the use of expensive celebrities and motion capture, because it concentrates all its very interesting moments and themes into these singular long cutscenes instead of diagetically spreading them out throughout the gameplay experience.
