Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage. frvr.com/blog/call-of...

AI slop now making up saccharine Bible verses that do not exist

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Fallout 4, launched via Steam, on RK3588 MNT Reform open hardware laptop with external AMD GPU (RX 580)

Oh my god, I am ready to crash the fuck out. I feel like a character in a LongBeach Griffy skit

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

I've had a Gabecube for at least a year, they ain't special

19 year old mutual: Have you perhaps considered that shipping the princess with the knight has a problematic power imbalance, hmmmmm? 30 year old mutual: Thinking about ordering jerk chicken for lunch

Instruction manuals. In-game is a must (Verho just came out and has it, for ex.) and I would pay for physical ones. As a kid I read through all of the ones I got but it was mostly about the artwork in them. Also, the smell. 😁 Like new Fender guitars, NES cartridges in the 80's, and old books. 😛

My very first question for the Steam hardware: how big of a hole will it burn in my wallet? I defo want the controller, and I can't help but think the Steam Machine would be nice out in the living room...

Apparently its a crippling stomach cramps sort of day.

Dropping cosmetics prices and refunding players who already bought them is a fun distraction from all the negative talk about not using human voice actors for your NPCs But it also follows that if you can afford to cut prices and do refunds, you could afford to pay human actors to voice your NPCs.

better paid developers who have work/life balance and no incentive or directive to engage in predatory tactics. kinder fan bases that acknowledge developer mistakes without resorting to threats of violence. a treasure of some kind behind every waterfall.

I got my EBT for the month.

Well, here's something I never in my life expected to see. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXw5...

10/10 take. No notes.

Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart. If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

Before I met Elster, I never believed I would find someone I could fall in love with like that. #SIGNALIS

Pootled around in the starting village of Skies of Arcadia this morning, big blue skies are good for the soul whether irl or digital

this game's Awesome

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips. If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

So about those NPC chatbots in Hoyo’s upcoming cozy vibes videogame Petit Planet…

“0% woke shit” a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

a game studio will get shut down for having a slightly large burn rate but OpenAI gets to burn through the budgets of....20+ AAA studios? in a single quarter?

I'm sorry, but what??

it doesn’t get any clearer that america’s betrothal to fossil fuels is about letting energy companies pick our pockets to prop up their obsolete industry

Huh, weird

thats nuts

Don't ask me why, but an effort is being made to port Star Fox 64 to Dreamcast. Notice the more consistent framerate. No more micro-slowdown when you get hit or moments of intense effects. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifIs...

Tourists to… well, anywhere really need to understand that the cities they visit aren’t theme parks made to entertain on serve, they’re real places where people live and work and do essential life stuff. You’re basically being allowed into someone else’s home. Don’t be an asshole.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

Die motherfucker, die motherfucker, die. *rocks out*

I hope openai gets sued into oblivion, and when they get to oblivion, the void lords banish them to the shadow realm, and then when they get to the shadow realm, they get annihilated by a blue eyes white dragon
