Nintendo coming to my hospital room, after I narrowly survive a brutal stabbing, to C&D me because I was wearing a Mario shirt when it happened

Crazy shit happening at xbox rn

i cant believe this, they literally gave up with the subtitles

Also, on a darker note, I need to talk about how conspiracy theorists preference "hypothetical victims" - i.e. nameless, faceless kids trafficked and eaten by the Shadow Government - over Epstein's actual victims who have names, faces and can speak for themselves about their experiences.

Oh no. Oh nooooo. Xbox's new CEO is a natalist/birthrater. How did MS miss this in their opsec? Literal stone's throw away from the likes of Palmer Luckey. "Will my son have classmates in the future? ...the fertility rates are declining." Then she suggests the fix is... AI? Timestamped:

why do we need a 1 hour youtube video about if remakes of games replace the originals when we already know how publishers think on the issue www.thegamebusiness.com/p/when-we-la...

Researchers discovered a publicly exposed frontend on a government-authorized server, containing 2,456 accessible files from the age verification vendor used by Discord.

every fucking computer made in the last 15 years can play GBA games and without you having to pay $20 for the privilege

I have gotten completely sick of the current video game story trope of having older protagonists come back and completely overshadow new characters. So I have put together a short feature that I hope isn't *just* a rant. Please read! raiderking.com/why-cant-vid...

woke

when a major video game publisher publishes video games for normal people

the arc of bluepoint is very instructive: 1. respected studio for reliable, accurate enough ports, multiple collections a year 2. one remake every 3-5 years that destroys the aesthetic of the original 3. acquired. set to work on a live service game for a nostalgia based property 4. everyone fired

if she's not wielding a gravity hammer, i am not interested

did sony really just acquire bluepoint after it independently made two excellent remakes, use it for support on god of war, and then immediately shut it down

BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned. A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, BBC News reported reut.rs/4s0NSPL

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

love that sorting things by date seems to have become a lost art

i feel like if the government really cared how much the student loan system was going to """cost""" them they wouldnt have designed a system where the loans get written off at all, so what really is the problem with changing the interest rate to CPI or scrapping the +3% (or both)

"let's rerelease a classic game and replace a whole bunch of the soundtrack with entirely new pieces" - a bunch of fucking idiots

Harlem in 1970 or a management strategy game from 1999? 🤔

GPUs were designed to render frames natively instead of make the vast majority of them up out of nothing

the usual people are out thinking we should destroy every instance of a particular tool because a bunch of people use it in a way that is against the interests of a massive corporation who has at least one legally indentured servant

"here are 6 open source self hosted alternatives to discord" and none of them have all the actually useful features of discord

put isy suttie in every video game

oh look another government department that has abandoned all responsibility

they should have called layers of fear 3 "layerses of fearses"

You’re going to see this going around: the homepage proudly proclaims the articles are AI-generated. That’s irresponsible. And relying on people to *correct inaccurate information* (maybe, later) instead of leaving pages empty is dangerous. Do not source claims from there and do not spread it.

they're very sorry they got caught

Discord advises UK users that they "may be part of an experiment" where instead of their age verification data never leaving their phone, it will now actually leave their phone www.eurogamer.net/discord-advi...

the high on life 2 developers thought it would be a good idea to have the shader compile status indicator be a small bit of text that fades in and out excellent work from all involved

add god of war to "hey theyre doing these again again?"

"game content lead" that a depressing job title

finally, a resident evil 9 trailer where the player is shooting at enemies and hitting them

finally, an AI wallet that can autonomously hand itself over to the wallet inspector

just fucking bizarre must be nice to so wilfully ignorant
