I was interested in it, too, but seriously, just do the damn work - they're fucking PAINTINGS; what could AI "refinement" possibly help? And grammar corrections? Do a spell check - or better yet? Open it up to your community; ask for help, take their input, and use it to build the community more.

The terrifying, energizing truth to this is that WE are the ones who have to do this. Us. Right now. Because right now? There ISN'T anyone else, and if we take our time... there never will be. www.gamesradar.com/games/after-...

To the surprised of everyone, the #StarOcean IP is staying alive.

#Xbox and #Microsoft are yet another absolutely /worthless/ brand and company.

What a shitty, worthless company #Sony is.

New month means new Game of the Month - this time around, it'll be Star Fox Assault! The kinda-sorta sequel to Star Fox Adventures that Nintendo probably ALSO doesn't want to remember. Hooray!

July is here, and with it? The HEAT, for a lot of us. Friendly reminder from Drakengard 3 to stay safe this summer.

Not about to be outdone by #Microsoft's terrible decisions for the #videogame industry, #Sony decides to stop selling physical copies in 2028. blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/p...

"Lenovo warns that you should never have let them find out they can get away with this bullshit. They will never let it return to early 2025 levels."

Imagine being pres of #Sony, looking at recent events, and thinking THIS is the way to go. ...Ha ha! I kid. He didn't have this idea; an ai chat bot did. "Chatbot said closing Destiny 2 saves money." "Chatbot said live service games make money." "I don't think thoughts; I do what chatbot says."

Shareholders mad at how #FromSoft handled #EldenRing. Yes, THAT Elden Ring. The one that sold millions. The one with the movie in production. The one with the tie-in game that ALSO sold millions. The one on Switch 2. And yet... it is not enough. It will never be enough. Their greed sickens me.

Microsoft is a blight of a corporation anyway, so they can keep their console, their branding, and their shitty generative AI - I wouldn't touch it even if they LOWERED the price by US$100.

I was granted access to the #playtest for #WardensOfAvalon, so let's have a stream and a thread to see what it's like! Stream is live at www.twitch.tv/vidya2 Thread will continue from here.

So glad that no one at V2 will have this problem.

Take it away, Jonah. It's the appropriate response at such a fucking joke. Get lost, loser #Sony. Suffer the same fate as your console.

Even if it wasn't in the batter, even if it was "only just some of the frosting!" you still DON'T ask people to eat the cake. The whole thing has been contaminated; is toxic, noxious, and needs to be discarded. Start over, and this time don't use shit.

Another game that won't even get to see my wishlist, and won't ever get any revenue or interaction from me. Hopefully those talented and experienced artists (if they even existed) will someday get to work on a project that values their work and effort - and doesn't disgrace it with gen AI.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girl, and everything outside and inbetween, behold the works of one of the primary companies pushing generative AI.

I like #OoT and I'm interested in seeing it redone... again. But I am sad that probably nothing Nintendo will do is gonna make it better than what fans have already done. Randomizer, online play, hacks, cheats, graphic mods, etc; probably nothing like that will be in the Switch 2 version.

I love to this see this. I honestly want games to include an option where you can switch the graphics/assets from "Final Build" to "Dev build", just so players can see the work and progress that went into everything.

Audio required. If you know, you know.

It is seriously NOT a high bar to overcome.

#Sega uses #GenerativeAI for #CrazyTaxi - another company falling over itself to force a technology that makes me not only blacklist and not buy their game, but never even look at it, even after it's finished. Listen Sega, if you're gonna save your money, then I'm gonna save mine, too.

In case you don't know, @gog.com, here's a lesson. In the meantime, I'm gonna remove GoG Galaxy from my pc.

I played a little bit of Gujian 3 on stream... in 2020. It was decent to play, and neat to see a fantasy work from people not mainly from US/Japan/Europe. Maybe it's time I pick it up again.

V2's second game of the month is... Valkyrie Saga! I'll be going into the game blind and using this thread to post my experiences, thoughts, and opinions as I play the game over the month of June. #ValkyrieSaga #Indie store.steampowered.com/app/2663150/...

V2's first game of the month for June is... the one, the only, the infamous Drakengard 3. I'll be revisiting the game, having platinum'd it (and the dlc) on original hardware way back in the day. It's been a long time since then, but I'm up for another round. #Drakengard #Drag-on-Dragoon

The V2 Crew set sail again, but not on the Sea of Thieves; this time it was the seas of For the King II! Same outcome, though.

@chiitan.love Even when no-one got my back, I know Chiitan got my back. Thank you, Chiitan. TRANS RIGHTS. 誰にもが私の事を応援してない時でも、ちぃたんが私の事を応援しています。それが分かっています。 有難うございます、ちぃたん！

I'm playing Shiren for the very first time, as part of a Game of the Month type deal. I've been keeping track of my general reactions on Discord, but an actual thread could be worthwhile, too. store.steampowered.com/app/1178790/...

Yes, Vidya2 is still around and streaming games. And if that means anything to you, your favorite games and consoles are probably all considered retro classics - and that's okay; they're welcome, and so are you. It's good to be live.
