It’s not Larian’s fault but it chaps my ass that because they’re Larian they can have a trailer with a full on orgy in it in the middle of the Game Awards and meanwhile adult content in games everywhere else is getting cracked down on left and right.

Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game

a trailer for "a new breed of shooter" and its just a hero shooter

i dont think expedition 33 is THAT good, but it is definitely a beacon of what the industry should be doing, which is making interesting iconic projects of reasonable scope instead of massive boring expensive slop

oh they ai yassified lara croft for real

gacha games should not win awards

fucking Microsoft standard email attachment limit is 25MB, but if you email a teams channel it has to bet at most 10MB 🥴

clair obscure? its the most well known game in the world apparently!

oh so that's tomb raider getting a second remake is it? the industry is fucked

how does the switch 2 version of skyrim end up being about double the size of the PC version?

sandfall making expedition 33 for $10m should be a lesson to every new developer trying to spend $125m on their debut game

@zaephia.bsky.social if you need any of these just ask

It's so cynical to drop this while trotting out people from Bethesda to do interviews touting smoother performance and all that as if they weren't well aware it was like this. This isn't some small indie studio on a hard deadline here.

damn, the guy who used a picture of halo 3 as his background on teams because he typed "Zanzibar" into Google and picked the first image is now using a different image 😢

you wouldn't know that this game has already been out for 10 months

proton sheets is giving me a good excuse to use the @proton.me document tools for the first time, and unfortunately they've copied the terrible google drive model of "you don't get the file" if i make a sheet, what syncs via drive is a shortcut to the web app and not the actual document

As said of old:

Apologies if this is in poor taste, but I can’t shake just how bad a taste it leaves in my mouth that even the least expensive of Geoff Keighley’s overpriced advertising slots could pay for Rebecca Heineman’s funeral.

WHAT

@zaephia.bsky.social im not sure what this is, but you're welcome

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

warframe is approaching its all time peak concurrent users on steam so of course that means a bunch of systems that govern gameplay go down 🫠

"To be clear, the future of Call of Duty is very strong" which is why we had to write a blog post begging people to play the game and tell people we're going to change a bunch of stuff

when it was revealed that the netflix bid did in fact include wb games despite it not being mentioned in previous reporting, miles and i joked "what if they just forgot about it" You'll Never Guess What Happened

oh, okay then

lmao are people really buying a device that can remote control a computer over a network and freaking out that it has a microphone in it?

On the one hand, I’ve seen Zarah Sultana with my own eyes. On the other, everything else increasingly suggests she can’t possibly be a real person.

imagine if this was in the game, wouldn't that be cool?

im sure if tarantino really wanted to make a ten minute addendum to kill bill he could have done it any time he wanted, and without epic games

you wont find me buzzing about any game remakes, thats for sure

In case you were wondering what it’s like to boot a free to play mobile game in 2025

love that WB has caused all the big media megacorps to fight over who is the biggest and most mega /s

who on earth approved this episode release schedule?

someone rigged their ass off on that, christ. the bounce and wind up on all those movements, we simply do not know how to do this without 400 million dollars anymore

they dont make guns in video games sound like this anymore and it's a travesty

honestly, if there are hundreds of thousands of GPUs sitting out there unused, i'll gladly buy one for next to nothing when the bubble pops, i got a home server i need to build

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right. www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-g...

One of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness

this is how you do a content disclosure

This photo looks like when someone is trying really hard to draw a realistic person, but they’re not good at it yet.

fucking grim

love that destin legarie was all "thanks to those who engaged in good faith" as if he ever had any good faith arguments

NEW BLOOD PRESENTS: From the developer of INFERNO and LUDUS MORTIS A TURN BASED RPG ADVENTURE... SET CANONICALLY BETWEEN THE EPISODES OF DUSK. DUNGEONS OF DUSK. youtu.be/f7XHvyJHrl4

i cant fucking believe we're getting a new doom rpg

Valve and Nintendo will collaborate on “absolutely nothing” later today. There will be “no details, whatsoever” announced because, as my source puts it, “They literally aren't doing anything together. Stop messaging me.” It remains to be seen what - if anything - this collaboration is about.

Oh good, Space Riverdale, that's what Star Trek has been missing. I was kind of hoping to get back to the cerebral exploration of moral conundrums without all the needless action, you know a return to Star Trek form? But not now that I know the dating lives of Starfleet cadets is on the table!!

a game with teletext as the UI, excellent www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWHX...

Imagine being this contemptuous of the idea of art. Like to hold this view you need to be cowardly, intellectually incurious, and dismissive of the idea of art in the abstract. Or just some asshole desperate for attention posting contrarian bullshit knowing the dunks will raise your profile.
