I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

THIS STUDIO MADE THE FAMOUS IDTECH ENGINE AND YOU'RE FORCING THEM TO USE FUCKING **UNREAL**??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? FUCK YOU

One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.

As someone who does not live in New York, my desire is simple and, perhaps, a little self-serving: I would like to never see Cuomo's stupid fuckin' face or hear his stupid fuckin' voice ever again. It'd be great if that creep just lost this election and went away forever.

They shouldn’t feel stupid, they should feel afraid of getting their fucking faces smashed in for wearing a wire.

Smart Glasses Are Taking Off as Social Stigma Fades

The Ray-Ban Meta lineup has achieved a 'rare' feat in consumer tech, IDC says: Making something people will wear in public. That's good news for Google's Android XR platform and Apple.

Now that I'm overseeing several mission critical systems here in the house--a Plex server, STBs, an iPad that needs to be able to see YouTube, etc--I get why IT professionals are the way they are. I should start making the kids file tickets.

always nice to hear from a fan

Xbox 360 Dollars Per Year

Try a couple decades of shitty emails ranging from simple insults all the way up to death threats from idiot fanboys who can't handle you giving a game "only" 8/10 and see which one puts more calluses on your soul, dummy. You'd fold in six months or less.

fuck chuck schumer and anybody down with him

Hearing reports that DLSS 6 is going to make every character in every game look like a naked 14-year-old girl but don't worry, it's actually turning them all into ageless demons who have existed forever but _choose_ to look like naked 14-year-old girls.

Normally not much of a browser plugins guy, but as someone who occasionally looks up video game things online, this one's been very nice. addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...

Found my favorite PS2 game

I've been looking at Threads here and there and I must say it's been very funny to see dopes posting things like "I hear that Brazil went to BlueSky... why not Threads???" with like zero ability to understand that Threads is ass.

I think Kinda Funny becomes more impressive by the year. The way they’ve kept a crew together and grown and kept it independent is awesome. We had to sell the company to the very thing we were trying to escape. Different times and different options, but they’ve succeeded where we failed.

I am Kate Middleton here is my photo I am driving a car down to the chemist’s to get a packet of crisps and then I am off to Piccadilly square for a right pisser of a time

Tired of these scumfucks

brb, uninstalling Office from my gaming handheld (it has been on this screen for like five minutes)

Polygon was a great constant to have over the years, they did a lot of quality work and held themselves to a really high standard. Very frustrating to see sharp people with solid, institutional knowledge get tossed out like this.

I’m left with a certain sinking feeling that says if the Nintendo delay picks up steam and points a lot of new fingers at Trump, the administration will vindictively start picking apart the whole industry under the guise of “video game violence is destroying the youth” or some such shit.

Big day in the garage.

I think there are only two things about bluesky that new users would need to know:

- There was a questionable chicken sandwich.

- Jimmy Fallon got run off the platform almost immediately.

Enjoy!

It's perfect timing, really. Taco Bell's chicken nuggets are back and I have a LOT of questions.
