Finally got around to playing Mechanicus 2 last night just under 6 hours, completed the first act and I definitely still like what I'm playing! But it's clear where some sacrifices were made and criticisms were taken too harshly. The scale is greater, but it feels stretched out.

Hoyoverse has confirmed they are investing $14.6 billion into AI over the next 3 years. They aim to make their own internal AI ecosystem including its own training and servers to fuel future development of its games. #Hoyoverse www.gamingonphonebiz.com/hoyoverse-pl...

Sister of Battle III

I know a lot of the Destiny people are hurting right now, I certainly have my memories despite how small and unremarkable they are. But that version of the game I spent my hours on no longer exists. Not even for a fleeting moment of passing nostalgia. Nothing left to mourn.

the prevalence of AI images sucks in innumerable ways. but it's also given us the ability to feel total elation in knowing when you've found an Extremely Raw Picture that isn't AI, but is in fact a genuine picture of a guy in a Xenomorph suit pouring you a tumbler of vodka

Karma's a bitch, ain't it? This post is brought to you by the vaguepost gang

ONE MONTH THEN SKITARII FOREVER

Got calli and biboo painting and yapping warhammer in the background... Man, I need to get the stream working again...

For some reason the skitarii tomorrow bit has evolved into that old Atari ad jingle, "have you played skitarii today?" That shit's in my head now. help

I really should go to bed so I can see the announcements in time later lol

Since this escaped containment, here are some more shots of the mural

The theme of the new street art on the block surprised me. Did not expect to see massive Warhammer 40K murals!

Listen man if you're gonna ragebait me with a headline like that, you could at least not put me to sleep. Also:

Alright yeah gameoverse got the sauce. They put da space marine on da telly

Can't believe I didn't know they were making a ruiner sequel, and there's a brigador killers demo.. very proud of the scrunkly little cyberpunk games with cool soundtracks are still around.

Happy Friday

OH SHIT already?! The Skulls festival is supposed to be next week too, AND right before the big path of exile 2 update? What a busy line up.

I think I'm gonna go out on a limb and say video game discourse this year is just psychic damage now. I've never felt so exhausted by a subject so much that I wish I could throw myself into a woodchipper and never deal with it again.

just wanted to take the opportunity to both shout out and be grateful for how many cool people in the XIV space I've met and can vouch for personally as folk who make the community shine brighter, and one of the many reasons I've had them on my silly quiz show. And I only plan to have many more <3

Other thing I picked up on the past month or so was he started painting miniatures recently on youtube, so I know his dumbass is gonna slip into the warhammer space when he can't stay in ffxiv anymore. We deal with enough chuds as it is, man... I don't wanna see more reheated nachos.

I've spent yet another long session just painting red, orange and yellow to expand the fire osl to the remaining parts - mainly the cape (inside and out) - and refined the second boot. It's coming along nicely I think. #osl #paintingfire #miniature #minipainting #abaddon #eyeofterror

NEW ARTICLE TIME! Ever wonder why Digimon had the best anime about kids and monsters ever made? Why Digimon totally won the Digimon/Pokemon wars (as far as anime goes)? This month, I'm excited to write about my favorite series EVER: Digimon docseuss.medium.com/digimon-is-o...

Humanity is unlocking new targets for slander every day

Pancreasnowork has infected my brain with 40k worms, so I made a video with him about how all the factions are doomed in some way, even if they 'win'. Go watch! youtu.be/t90uMhCnnCw?...

Few things bring me more joy than when @teddzero.bsky.social unleashes a catastrophic banger of a thumbnail for an episode I’m very proud of. Less than an hour before some real AdRic chaos! youtu.be/7tBCJxoO_Z8?...

patch night much to consider

Ironmouse did really great with the concert and I'm not just saying that due to every time I hear to Return to Oblivion I jam the fuck out I really liked it

Primals concert soon. I’m ready to get edged

If I see one more person comment about saying how a Realm Reborn is an unnecessary narrative slog, I will turn them into a mcgriddle

Going over the combat changes and they gave paladin samurai's third eye/counter; Bringing back gameplay incentives to use mitigation outside of just damage reduction, incentivise timing mit to increase damage Which will produce a better tank, and a better player. God these changes are so GOOD

Y'know what would be cool for the new FFXIV tank, a gun lance.

“This is the fanbase we’ve cultivated!” youtube.com/shorts/LZ0E2...

I've been spending the whole day trying to catch up of the ffxiv keynote and the changes, and we still have more info coming over the rest of the year. I also need the full track for the teaser trailer already. Fuck... I think we're peak again.

We couldn't use this version for the recent Ad Ric episode due to youtube censorship, so I'm throwing this into the wild with permission from big boss. Please enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3PG...

Spotted a wild farsight while playing some clips in the background while working

who's having the best time? (extras in pinned)

Someone on the other site posted this vid of LotR: TTA. I think about this game sometimes as the first FF style JRPG I played and I laugh because the final boss is literally the Eye of Sauron. There's no context to how you reach it. You fight god, as is tradition, while everyones at the Black Gate.

So, Imma ask for some thoughts on Eldar; I have a box of Void-scarred Corsairs and I know I wanna put together the wayseeker and soul weaver, but I dunno what I want to do with the others... Kinda indecisive. I don't even know what to paint them... -_-

It's quiet.

Me when I don't get my coffee and threaten to turn someone into a mcgriddle

I made the mistake on the other site expressing my frustration at 'we're here yet again about model designs and nobody has learned anything', I ended up deleting it. But I hadn't reconsidered 'who is this made for?' because it's a starter edition box, but now I wonder... Is it an apology?

[OC] a few forest friends discovered someone interesting

just one more project then freedom mmm
