once again thinking about how the 2001 tomb raider ends with where's your head at playing over a goofy freeze frame and how the only way you'd see that in a movie today is buried under 1000 layers of ironic self-awareness because apparently we're not allowed to be sincere in our goofines anymore

raytracing is honestly so over-ray-ted

my gaming (or really, storytelling) hot take is that "good lore" is not a good story and means absolutely fuck all if i'm not emotionally invested in the present tense characters, relationships and events

the further through the trails/kiseki series i get, the more retroactively dissapointed i become in sky 1st chapter remake's localisation

why, of all things, do i suddenly have brian tyler's bangkok dangerous theme stuck in my head?

"this piece of media has gross stuff in it" man damn that sucks, did you talk to your mom about how the parental controls aren't working

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

"select alamo drafthouse locations will also host viewings" that's so fucking funny dude what stage of capitalism is it when people are going to the cinema just to watch an hour of trailers

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

video game loot is hilarious because needing to seed a world from a limited loot selection leads to certain absurdities like everyone in thief 2014 owning a surprising and remarkable amount of letter openers

nonbinary but specifically in the way referred to in limp bizkit's rollin' (2000), as in "hey ladies / hey fellas / and the people that don't give a fuck"

god i miss when racing games were just a bunch of tracks and a playlist of nu metal songs

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)

this is now my favourite controller feature of all time

i hate eveything about this so much that i don't even know where to start

the idea that kids can only enjoy new things is not only a deeply capitalistic notion designed to encourage you to pay for new things, it also discourages an interest in the history of art and culture

yes, mass effect's politics are fucked, sometimes in really obvious ways, sometimes in really weird ways, but i played the first game when i was 18 and had never played anything quite like it and also bioware are pretty good at making non-human characters who are hot, so... 🤷

Youtube said “no, no more views for you!”. But I think this video deserves it. So please, keep sharing it around!

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

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

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
