yo that first episode of the new ghost in the shell went CRAZY

Did Lindsey graham die and nobody actually gives a fuck lmao I had to do some digging to see if it was real

If Never Ending Game were a band when I was still actively involved in music and didn’t have ACL related mosh retirement I would’ve been that weirdo crying while beating ass

Roll with me on this one; I always got such a weird feeing when hearing people talk about games and about how they disliked anything “getting in the way of the fun”, and that would range from story, dialogue, reading, side quests, mechanics, level design, you know, the *game* part

microsoft making the most prolific and important studio in gaming history a support studio and pulling them off their own tech to make shit in unreal just incredible stuff the games industry is dead

Oh I am 100% watching ghost in the shell tomorrow

I’m happy to report that people are keeping the Shai Hulud Band Member chart up to date through 2026

Oh did Mitch die finally

People are playing through D1 again and I have to say while I think it’s objectively a worse game than 2 (mission and story design in 2 ended up far eclipsing D1), Taken King had some absolute all timer moments

Phil Spencer made some huge gambles with a way too optimistic mindset: no, you can’t make a gaming utopia where everyone ALSO comes out making money. Tried to keep Microsoft at bay, had some good intentions but ultimately just planted ticking time bombs under the industry before he got fired.

My views are somewhat skewed from having been around Actual Crime for so long but like, loudly proclaiming “cops are not welcome here!!!!” Into the open air is only going to make the cop go “hmmm I wonder why” Practice shut the fuck up Friday in every aspect of your life

No videos exist of this incident because it was a felony but I never grow tired of telling people about the 4th of July that we had a fireworks war in the black my heart apartment in Cambridge and had to run from a billion cops and helicopters

I apologize to anyone who followed me because of my cyberpunk post my guilty pleasure are overly corny gachas and I am too removed from their demographics to have a place to talk about them so I do it here

I have hope for zzz season 3 because they just casually dropped the best battle theme since the 1.0 days they still got the magic touch youtu.be/WWMyWQwInWY?...

i desperately need someone with the 2020 Exo Stranger statue to sell theirs to me for a reasonable price and not $300-400+ i must know somebody

Marvel Rivals taking the next step in goonerism: captain America has jiggle physics on his penis now

Problem solved because my boss came to his senses and did the right thing and not the “by the book” thing

Anyone at AX should get me ZZZ merch cause I can pay

Ha ha ha

Remielle Dan cosplay at AX probably gonna go crazy but mostly because it’s an excuse to carry 3 boba teas at once to drink

Decided to take a day off my vacation to work for overtime and on my way in I see a sign that says “extreme heat warning” flashing at me. Lend me your energy

Sony is pushing the PS6 back to 2028 because they know if they drop a box next year it will sell next to nothing and they are hoping by shuffling it off a little people will be more open to the idea of a $1200+ “you own nothing” box

I will never root for a game to ever fail however with how things are lately maybe I am on board with “what if nobody bought gta6 or a PlayStation to play it on”

The ps vita store going down however means I have to fire up my vita and redownload everything and/or mod it

It’s unfortunate to see gamers turn on other gamers with this Sony news like “you all empowered this” like bröther none of us have had a choice in the matter for years, they’ve been doing this with or without us; everyone could’ve bought every physical disc and they still would end up here

It rules I signed up for a credit card to cover a car emergency and now years later it has just become an amount I won’t be able to pay off

A lot of bad news today, I’m just tryina make it through two 95+ degree work days and get to my vacation so I can unplug and game

Happy birthday, Usagi Tsukino

There is a discourse going on about how cyberpunk 2077 not offering up revolutionary politics and discourse is somehow a failing of the writing and pondsmith and I struggle to think of anything constructive to say about how people are so performatively woke they lost the ability to understand art

Oh this looks *depraved* I cannot WAIT

The WuWa x Edgerunners collab with as amazing; a lot of fun references, details, a great rendition of night city but mostly the writing was excellent. A little goofy isakai nonsense but it acted like an epilogue to the show, it didn’t rewrite the ending or try to land in a happy place

Wait that citizen vigilante movie is an UWE BOLL JOINT?????? THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING LOL

Watching reactions to the edgerunners WuWa collab is very funny because it is entirely people openly sobbing on camera

@turboshawn.com catching up on game mess, how did we get to marathon: was being made prior to being bought by Sony. Extraction was what the managers were big on at the time due to playing a lot of tarkov so it was kinda forced. Scale of the game was meant to sit *under* a thriving D2, not by itself.

The destiny 2 team being just scattered to the wind is probably the biggest tragedy of all these studio destructions. That was a group capable of doing incredible unparalleled work and Bungie leadership/sony just said nope. Bye. This entire industry is poisoned and collapsing.

Basically everyone at bungie got fired today. I don’t even know who’s left to make marathon magic happen.

Destiny 2 and its team all reaching their deaths is a bookend on an entire era of gaming. Hardware is now unaffordable. Budgets are too big. Failure is unavoidable. Nothing works anymore. One misstep spells doom for entire studios and careers. This sucks man

I’m sorry Wuthering Waves I was not familiar with your game until this moment holy shit

My MRI this weekend got cancelled because workers comp didn’t approve it. Not because they denied it but because nobody ever responded or read the request lol I’m having a very cursed month

No shot wuthering waves blindsided me with an umineko reference in regards to the absolute saddest quest chain

The gacha space continues to intrigue me because what do you mean that without spending any money I could be 81 hours deep of *exclusively acted story content* with unique gameplay elements every few hours and STILL not be up to date? And that’s with skipping all of chapter 1? Insane

I know in gachas every woman is in love with the main character as a trope to sell more, but it’s especially funny playing as female Rover in WuWa because you are the most bisexual menace this world has ever encountered. No one is safe. Every woman is SO gay for you.

I have said that I only have room for one gacha in ZZZ and i regret to inform that I think wuthering waves might have also gotten my ass

I went into ZZZ 3.0 with low expectations but willing to give them a shot to see where the game was going and I am happy to report that, while I’m still not thrilled with the MC’s becoming attack agents, this new season starts INCREDIBLY strong. Loved it. Worlds better than how S2 started.

i think the only time i've ever commanded respect from someone was when somebody met me in person and realized i could whoop his ass and they stopped being antagonistic to me and that honestly makes me sad cause i have just been dismissed my entire life by everything

I said when Phil left, while everyone was talking about game pass and how Xbox could position itself for success, that they were just going to set fire to the entire thing and here we are. I hope some people on some podcasts feel dumb giving them the benefit of the doubt and buying into the bullshit

No fucking shot a pickup truck (that clearly costs an obscene amount of money) pulls up next to me at a stoplight listening to that “rich men north of Richmond” song or whatever it was called and having a singalong with everyone riding in it oh my god

I don’t understand how people get older and start demanding less from art, less obstacles in the way of a feeling, a smaller payoff for less investment. I find myself needing things that take bigger swings to get me to feel and think. Push me a little. Push me a lot.

June 13, 2019 The last minute. Of the last segment. Of the last night. Of the last E3.

I’m having a lot of fun watching videos of Europeans and especially brits discovering American and Mexican food
