not only are the russo brothers two of the blandest directors in the medium, but whenever they speak they say something that makes me die a little inside

if the russo brothers have no haters then i am dead

am i crazy or is the opening riff of good charlotte's girls & boys just the opening riff of don't fear the reaper but in a different key?

chat, is it a bad sign when staple foods become trendy?

"Go anywhere. Go anywhere fast. Go anywhere fast looking like a damn pimp."

Not to mention the capitalism of it. Create content. Create value. Don't be a burden. Pay rent. Groceries. Bills. Understand everything. Never be confused. Master every discipline. Use your time wisely. Relax. Never relax. Go see the world. Don't take more than a day off.

Chat is it normal to feel like you're going insane trying to follow the rules of society when the world so clearly fails to hold itself to that standard? • be kind to others • donate where possible • reach out to friends • call your mom daily • put others before yourself • always be improving • aaa

am i the only one who dislikes high-level gear in a lot of games? like it's so often gaudy and overdesigned and i want my character to look like a fighter and not like they're attending a royal wedding

given that the problems with ai generated code are not too disimilar from the genetic breakdown caused by inbreeding we should just start referring to it as "inbred code"

lara croft duct-taping a zippo lighter to her bow to make fire arrows in tomb raider 2013 is the funniest shit dude

i love how fictional military operations are always given cool names like "operation shining steel" while real military operations get called things like "operation cornflakes" and "operation toenails"

gamers were a mistake

y'know, looking at how much ai hallucinates and just generally fucks up, it suddenly makes a lot more sense why the battle droids in star wars are the way that they are

it's still so funny to me that disney, a highly capitalist media corporation famous for how aggressively they protect copyright, spent more money than anyone had ever spent on movies to make a trilogy about how piracy is freedom and evil capitalists are destroying the world to try and control it

you've heard of mpeg video files now get ready for mpreg video files

i love in trails of cold steel when rean summoning valimar causes sick eurobeats to start playing

Just trying to live, man..

🚨KILL YOUR INNER LORE MASTER I think we’ve confused knowing everything about a game with actually experiencing one. READ/LISTEN: jakesteinberg.substack.com/p/kill-your-...

i always find it so wild to see people find the most aggressively uncharitable reading of a story and use it to label the creators as bad people

it's crazy that even with the pursuit of Ray Tracing, no one has yet realized that real-time lighting peaked in 2004 with Doom 3

ngl though i'm kinda curious what kind of abomination you would create if you put dlss 5 on like... a ps2 game

corporations dont understand how we lust for human imperfection

I'm sorry... I had to...

the amount of times they describe this as "next generation and transformative" really makes it feel like nvidia is holding their families hostage

have netflix considered that the reason people are on their phones while watching their movies/shows is because they make boring shit?

when i started trails in the sky i thought i was in for an innocent fantasy game and then the first two party members you get are an alchoholic, big-titty dommy-mommy and a camp, bisexual bard who are both very horny

yo, what was up with the trend of film score albums in the mid-2000s including a dance remix of the main theme at the end?

i'm not going to pretend like linux is flawless and there haven't been problems and errors i've had to try and either solve or just live with, but i cannot express how overall much more PEACEFUL my computing experience feels since switching from windows about 6 months ago

saw this on tumblr and it's literally so true woah

thinking again about the greatest scene in cinema history

rt if u hate nazis and love boobs

i cannot stress enough that "separating the art from the artist" was all about "how would we interpret this work if we knew nothing about the artist" and not "is it okay to give money to bigots"

seeing criterion listed here has me thinking about the truly astonishing amount of damage ea has done to racing games over the past 15-20 years. they had some of the greatest racing game studios of all time and then either fired them all or made them work on battlefield and then fired them all

i don't think any art can or should be above criticism, but i'm seeing a lot of "this thing that has meaning for a lot of people is actually dogshit and those people are stupid for liking it" and i dunno... i think that kinda sucks?

i need y'all to understand that back in 2001 movies were just allowed to end like this

archeological bullshit pulp has been my favourite genre for as long as i can remember and i'm so sad we don't get more of it

look, on the one hand i am deeply aware of the colonialist and imperialist ideas inherent in a lot of archeological bullshit pulp, but on the other hand there are very few things in fiction that get me as hyped as a character walking into an ancient ruin and solving a mechanically implausable puzzle

does hollywood know they can invent a new pulp hero? hot girl + killing nazis + random archeological bullshit, bam, you got a Picture that does not require you to spend tons of money on licenses or expensive, aging actors

any man who says playing a video game as a female character "ruins immersion" is just fundamentally lacking in both imagination and empathy

"Why do you hate Metacritic". I hate it when people try to use numbers to represent things that are not numbers. It offends me as a math person. We invented all these fancy ass representational structures. We have groups and fields and lattices. And you look at "Nier". And you say "this is a 7".

james bond is my favourite imperialist tool

i couldn't care less about what's canon if the storytelling is good

gonna be blunt... Video Games must rvturn to this kind of interface design

microslop game studios

the next time someone tries to convince you that gen ai is good and cool actually just ask them "bro why do hate art?"

i still don't have a new job, but what i do have is a lot of thoughts about rean schwarzer

gears of war has in fact always been woke because it's about a fascist government feeding soldiers into a meat grinder of a war to defend a society that they themeselves destroyed because they couldn't help but create subhuman mutants instead of giving people proper medical treatment

i know linux can seem scary if you've never used it and are only familiar with the memes about how obtuse it is, but if my dumb ass can figure out how to get a cracked copy of wolfenstein 2009 running on it then you should be able to figure out how to check your emails and use a word processor on it

if you ever want to understand the difference between silent hill and resident evil, just remember that sh2 and re7 both start with the near identical premise of "generic blond everyman receives a message from his (presumed) dead wife telling him to come find her in the middle of nowhere" (1/2)
