Xseed's versions of the Trails in the Sky trilogy are straight up the best version. The new port Falcom is throwing in as a bonus for the SC remake looks awful. As bad as the PS3 Kai releases. They should've paid Xseed to get their ports on console. C'mon Falcom. You owe it to them.

Sekiro: Velesk Dies Twice

Was playing Fida Puti Samurai earlier and it got me thinking about Ghost in the Shell games. You got the Tachikoma game on PS1 and those FPS games on PS2/PSP. What if someone merged the two? Deus Ex meets classic Armored Core with GitS style.

You know what's worse than people who use AI to produce art? The AI pick mes that defend it, call us luddites, loudly claim AI is the future, inevitable and then turn into a corncob.

The only "grunt work" that should be automated is the work we're forced to do to stay alive instead of the things that actually spark joy in us. But looks like our cyberpunk hellscape is one where you still flip burgers at McDonalds and robots do all the stuff we actually want to do. Great!

INTRODUCING: PROJECT PHANTOM LIMB SCOUR THE NAMELESS ISLE AND ITS EVIL FORTRESS BATTLE WICKED SOULS AND SEVER THEIR BODIES RESIST DEMONIC POSSESSION (Releasing later this year)

I have started rewatching Twin Peaks. Some of these moments give me chills. I can't stop thinking about this bit from Episode 3. "Fire walk with me" youtu.be/m4NWOyPp1yg?...

I find it pretty funny the oni in Sekiro just look like nordic men with bad eczema. Reminds me of that conspiracy theory I found on Japanese wikipedia that white people are oni.

When I woke up today to Bsky not working I thought it was something wrong on my end and I just kept putting it off until suddenly it came back and I was like "oh... right! Bsky is garbage now"

Bluesky is made with AI, the engineers and even some non-engineers use Claude code

Trying the demo for Ground Zero a retro throwback survival horror game with fixed camera angles. When you start the game it gives you the option to pick tank controls or modern controls which gave me an epiphany. You're given a 3D space to test the controls out which is a great touch. But neither-

Every time I saw someone call anti-AI peeps luddites, I want to smash a sowing machine. Pure ignorance on who the luddites are and what their grievances were. Pop culture says luddite means anti-technology without considering why.

Played the Neverway prologue. This game was already on the wishlist but I couldn't remember anything about it or why I added it but the prologue convinced me this will be special.

Oh boy, I watched a video review on the new Legacy of Kain game. After hearing the plot I had to check the Steam forums. Yes it's awful, full of people whining about "muh woke" and disgustingly wishing for bankruptcy. Disgusting.

People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god

US army keeps trying to get on Twitch to recruit vulnerable people. Last time it was an esports channel in 2020 that failed so hard it resorted to banning people for talking about war crimes & now they are trying again with a US Navy vtuber It's all attempts at manipulation, always has been

Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop

Regulate YouTube. As unlikely as it is to ever happen, I believe it’s the only thing that will ever improve that site. Corporations don’t respond to anything other than a spray bottle. There are SO many standards and practices that need to be enforced on that abusive, pred-friendly platform.

With how long it takes Level 5 to release games, it may not release before the AI bubble pops and Hino is forced to delay it for 5 years to remove all the AI designs his robot slave shat out for him.

Even if Iranian people lived in a theocracy like most racists think. They would still be people. Their lives would still matter. I don't care how urban you or how rural you are, you're still human. But this should be aired on TV, force every day white people to confront this. In US or Europe.

Anti-trans hatred is the very lifeblood of 21st century fascism and we need everyone to wake up to this simple truth before it's too late.

What's happening with Bluesky? I've seen posts memeing on it not working but it's not working. And they're vibe coding now apparently? What is going on?

It's rarely taken into account how a lot of people dismiss indie games out of hand entirely, that is if they're not outwardly hostile to them, and wouldn't even entertain the idea of playing them. And far too many treat indie as some mono-genre where if they've played one they've played them all.

I'm using the above gif for demonstration purposes, it's one of the first things you'll see if you put in "indie games" in the gif search. There's a sneering disdain for indies from certain audiences, and if they could no longer play hyped up AAA blockbusters, they would choose not to play anything.

Made it to Genichirou in Sekiro and I managed to hit his two deathblows and then got immediately rekt by his second form. I used up all my health and revives to get to that point. I made it all the way here and I'm still so bad at this. ugh!

SCREAMING THIS FROM THE FUCKING ROOFTOPS

There should be a set of standards every game adheres to. 1) Subtitles 2) Audio mixing 3) Pressing start pauses cutscenes The industry could solve this by coming together and creating this standard. Not every game would be forced to have it but making it official would help a lot.

This is why I don't use this stuff at all, it ruins your ability to think, and that's the one thing I think we should refuse to give up for anything.

Hey you're finally coming to. Welcome to the Bernstein universe, it's me your boy. Belesk. Cats? Pfft, brother you know i'm all about dogs. Also older women disgust me. Anyway enough blabbering, it's time to fire up your Sega Neptune 3000.

Shitter is still useful for discovering new indie games but the algorithm has terrible bait and switch. Always without failure it will stop pumping art and start showing you right wing scumbags.

The hardest part of Sekiro is not the combat for me anymore. The hardest part is figuring out where the fuck to go.

The benefit of playing many games at once is that when you do finish them you tend to finish a lot. Downside is this playthrough took me like 2-3 years.

Transphobia is a religion and its clergy are billionaire child rapists. That’s it. That’s the tweet. Pass it on.

You guys ever think about how video games are sick as fuck?

Happy World Bear Day! #worldbearday

I’m sorry… what? Who is this ai generated white child!? Why is Amazon recommending me his soulless eyes?

What the US is purposefully doing to Cuba should be considered genocide.
