i do not want to boycott Larian, they made one of the greatest games of all time, but the more they speak the more frustrated I become. I'm completely baffled on why they decided to die on this hill when they have a history being anti-ai

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

See, here’s the thing: when you say you’re using genAI in the ideation process but then say you won’t have genAI slop in the final product, I simply cannot not believe you. This sucks for the people who are actually making the game (and making you look better than you are), but it’s true.

Larian noooooo. Not like this.

I'm deep into Octopath 0. It's the best one. The story is solid enough, def better than others. The actual dialogue is still dook though. The gameplay is addictive with enough options to keep you changing things. It's too slow of a build up gameplaywise though. Tis a solid step forward for Octopath.

Lady Gaga disappointed at her assigned country for high school Model UN: “I don’t wanna be France!”

"You should be quiet"

Dumb statement BUT sure is a lot easier to eat less with no appetite.

Congrats on Game of the Year to the guy in the Game Awards orchestra who had a dozen different cartoon one-man-band instruments and played each of them masterfully

Feel like I've been watching the Game Awards for a week.

Alrighty then.

don't claim it. doesn't matter that it's free. Don't.

every time i see the deadpool vr game i'm going to share Marvel's Midnight Suns instead store.steampowered.com/app/368260/M...

This has gotta be the best new game trailer lineup ever.

Controlllllll)!))!)!?!*<(,*********

And a new Divinity? My ****** exploded.

New Kotor my ****** is soaking.

I reported the review for clearly violating Steam's rules of online conduct. My family spends a LOT of money on Steam and the last thing I want is my kids reading such hateful, bigoted trash in the game reviews. Feel free to follow suit: steamcommunity.com/id/breakzora...

Rogue talking like someone after she takes their powers is a beautiful touch to show how much they care about the characters.

There is no monstrous grift Jimmy Fallon won't run cover for

I do think if anyone in your life is using Polymarket to bet on the Game Awards, you are going to have to lock them in a freezer for however many months it takes for them to forget they like gambling. That might take a really long time, but if you care, you’ll do the work.

I really don't like this and I'm a fucking economy/mtx designer

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.

Why can't the right win without gerrymandering? Why can't the right uphold free speech when it isn't about them? Why can't the right mind their own business? Why is the right the party of Fuck Your Feelings until it's time to joke about that mediocre podcaster who caught one in the neck?

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Gamers: We want shorter games with worse graphics and faster dev times Also Gamers: "I'll wait until it's on a steam sale, game devs are greedy" Also Also gamers: "How can I obsess over sales numbers and player counts every day to validate my interests"

Private equityyyyyyyyyyyyyy

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

Just as horrifying: I polled my students a couple years ago and almost all of them admitted to watching the movies I assigned them at 2x the speed!

Snitching to corporate and getting 30 people fired is not mandatory — rats have to make that choice for themselves.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people. It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

The other day I got sudden numb spot in my tongue the moved to my upper cheek and back of jaw. Has since spread to my left eye. Went to the ER and got told to drink water. 🫠

Every technology problem is three social problems in a trench coat

Leia calling Chewbacca a "walking carpet" seems pretty racist but I guess we're not ready to have that conversation

So many specs on the WoW: Midnight Beta feel SAUCELESS.🙃

This is why AI "placeholder" assets are so sus. This shit is lazy and disgusting. Why should we pay full price for games who aren't willing to pay real people to make real art? Especially when it's AAA companies rolling in money to pay humans with.

Means testing is stupid and expensive and we simply shouldn’t do it. Feed people. House them. Provide them healthcare. Do it like you mean it.

Republicans will legit scream that the left must be antisemitic because a big city elected a Muslim mayor but then they’ll ardently go to the mat for Nazi flags and iconography.

REPUBLICANS: “How dare you call us Nazis?!” ALSO REPUBLICANS: “The swastika needs to make a comeback.”

If a kufiya is religious attire then baguettes are religious food

At this point Microsoft is turning Windows 11 itself into malware. They are making it actively unsafe for your layman user to use.

Is Riftbound chronically out of stock? And the intro box to the game completely unattainable? Losing my mind trying to spend money on this.

Why the fuck don't local game shops have websites??? They all just have the least informative FB pages. 🙃

Sometimes I hate myself for the kind of gameplay ideas I have, coding this tumbling block physics with the screws was SOO hard But I'm happy that the block puzzles are getting more varied and better integrated with the platforming, pacing and all (game is ABYSS X ZERO, btw) #gamedev #lowpoly #axz

Trump's DOJ confirmed 97.4% of people ICE has been arresting in Chicago have no criminal record whatsoever. The state is using its power to terrorize a community. Worst of all, Chicago is not an isolated example and these abuses are not stopping at U.S. borders. www.qasimrashid.com/p/trumps-ice...

I fucking hate the Democrats.
