It's a win for PC users for sure but unfortunately this isn't people "working together". If you actually read past the headline it is just yet another case similar to Bing and Windows Phones where people go to use the other alternatives

Steam's AI disclosure policy is about as moral as a store having a disclosure stating that they are aware that the art they are selling is stolen but will sell it anyway. As long as Steam allows AI generated content on their store, Valve is no different from Epic

You know the Legends Z-A DLC is bad when a site with "Nintendo" in its name gives it a 6/10

"Windows Vista wasn't bad it was just not optimized for the hardware at the time" is a really funny statement to me. That's a fatal flaw for an *OS* to have

FA!

This site would be a lot better if they dropped this Fediverse rip-off nonsense and focused on adding basic features and hiring a proper moderation team

I don't care how good Umamusume is. It promoting and sponsoring the horse racing industry is an automatic "fuck this shit" from me. It's as if Pokemon supported cockfighting

Sequel to the best pieces of Star Wars media of all time. Nice

The fact all 5 nominees were garbage and Sonic 3 wasn't even nominated is a crime

Bears repeating

Today is Game Awards aka nobody cares just give us the game announcements

Remember how I said glorifying Gabe and Valve just because Tim Sweeney said something stupid was dumb? This is one of the reasons why.

Saw a review of Unbeatable that ends with "it's been a while since we got a decent rhythm game" and like. Binch. We got several of those just this year.

Truly amazed by the fact my town gives a separate trash can for organic waste because they turn it into biogas... And we get to *pay* for the fact they are collecting it. On top of that there's also an "environmental fee".

The NorthSky news of sending out invites and going open are making the rounds again. There's a truscum community deeply embedded in NorthSky that has used Kiwi Farms to try to dox people before, and will again. I will not trust NorthSky. It is a truscum bar that trusts KF. bsky.app/profile/nerd...

Meanwhile a new XIV player *still" has to go through 6 expansions of main story to even reach current content

Time for a "game awards" thread of all games I played this year (including december 2024) with 1 or 2 entries a day:

Man, it's almost like the decentralized "world without ceasars" is a lie

I see the Undertale x Square Enix merch cost almost double as the normal ones. Yeah, I ain't paying $59-64 for a t-shirt. $36 was already pushing it

Me at Razorwind Shores as soon as Bel'ameth housing drops

you are not immune to propaganda the propaganda of fucking kiwifarms and other hateful creators that had been bullying a transmasc kid since they were 15. 18 when these allegations were thrown at him. EIGHTEEN. Really, actually think about where you get your information from.

The fact that the feedback for the low-budget Avatar fighting game is much more positive than Marvel Tokon is really funny.

I love Silksong but holy shit are those "If <company name> made Silksong" videos YouTube keeps recommending to me are annoying. Like I get they are trying to make fun of corporate tropes but Silksong has a ton of design issues of its own

"what if jason and the argonauts had smoother stop motion?" what if I super glued your butthole shut?

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

It's straight up hilarious of yoshi-p to lament over removing glamour restrictions citing "identity", when the game has long since completely ditched any semblance of it in terms of aesthetics

So not only does Metroid Prime 4 have a boring wasteland of a hub, but they want you to buy a 400 SEK amiibo to have music on it, otherwise having it be completely silent. And they will get away with it because "uhm you get a figurine"

💚🐐

"Critics are wrong about FNAF 2" "It's a movie for fans" Yeah, because critics went to see a movie and not to clap at references.

A li'l gift doodle for @keffotin.girlcock.org ♥

Even overlooking the fact square is obsessing over AI, it's really funny that a guy from Rage Against the Machine is doing a song for Final Fantasy XIV in particular considering one thing that always bugged me about it is how often capitalism is the solution to problems in it

Less than 5 seconds of Tural because why focus on the region that the expansion was advertised as. Genuinely hoping we can escape the cyber future bs soon

Genuinely wondering who thought that putting in handholding throughout by obnoxious NPCs the entire game was a good idea for a Metroid game of all things.

So from what I gather about Metroid Prime 4 is that it's a decent game but it's a Metroid for people who don't like Metroid

The good "non-pornographic" sexual content vs the icky porn. This is just trying to pander to paypros

As a pornographer myself, I feel... weird about creators who make distinctions between porn and other adult/sexual content. If you defend porn, your work will ALSO be defended. Don't be afraid to get down in the mud with us. You're gonna end up here anyway.

Squirrel Girl but more squirrel. Some older art from my Patreon! www.patreon.com/ambris

Completely unsurprising that my entire Spotify wrapped looks like this when my entire listening experience was focused around YIIK, Deltarune/Undertale, Everhood 1&2 and vivid/stasis and the last one is spread out across dozens of artists/albums

"Made using AI"

They really called the off-site tool that requires access to your data "Bluesky Harvest". Also Community, Building and Conservations aren't even close to being the biggest words on there lmao

I'm noticing a pattern of white guys who have a photo of themselves in suits having the most obnoxious opinions.

People who are trying to defend AI slop by screaming "ableism" should be ridiculed out of social media

All fanart of the new Lucario mega I've seen looks better than the actual model because artists make the weird hair(?) things have better proportions. The weird glossy shading on megas in-game also makes all of them look worse

In other news it's the first anniversary of the YIIK I.V. update. Perfect time to give it a chance

I was always of the opinion that at least new mons still always look pretty great but holy shit that new Lucario mega is ugly as sin

So WoW housing first impressions: - Despite hour one issue me and two friends managed to get the plots we wanted on the same neighborhood. - The housing area is MASSIVE and really pretty (Horde so far) - The editor is impressive - There's a catalogue with a model viewer - Music is beautiful
