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.

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...

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.

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.

🤨

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.

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.

fuck chuck schumer and anybody down with him

Found my favorite PS2 game

Losers like this should just drink at home. Alone. Bartenders keep bars safe. You should have to look a human in the eye to get served alcohol in public.

These weirdos would rather make the whole world shittier than leave a $2 tip.

The double whammy of Discord moving towards an IPO and sending out a survey to see what sort of AI garbage they could get away with sends a pretty clear message about where they want to go.

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

what's up everybody it's ya boy Mitch McConnell, I'm over at Jeff's place we're getting WRIZZNECKED on Captain Morgan and White Monster. Sorry for not saying anything sooner, been busy out here getting so much ass they call me Osama Been Fuckin, anyways peace

always nice to hear from a fan

Early Access and the way they managed their community across all their updates helped humanize that team in ways that only helped Baldur’s Gate 3, weird for the studio to be so willing to throw all that goodwill away.

I think it's nice when concept art shows the evolution of people's creative processes instead of a prompt, but what do I know

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.

Shout out to the spineless fucks out there trying their hardest to double my health insurance costs.

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

I'm mostly indifferent to CM Punk at this point, but I do think that CM Punk, known job quitter, more or less saying in an interview this week "people think the company I work for is bad, but what am I supposed to do, quit my job???????" is pretty funny. Real voice of the voiceless there.

"Aha! Is this our chance?!?"

Proud to announce that I'll be voicing every character in the upcoming Persona 4 remake except for Adachi, who will be voiced by Keith David.

This lines up with a lot of my thoughts on it. I also think the speed with which Roblox developers jack concepts from each other to further optimize their games for monetization is fascinating and shouldn't be in something that gets pushed to kids. It's like the worst version of best practices.

Mat Piscatella @matpiscatella.bsky.social

"This is a kids' game, and it's layering multiple currencies atop one another to obfuscate the cost of things, as well as using pop-ups, timer bars, and "buy" buttons to offer temporary boosts and, generally speaking, remove the game's in-built friction."

I've been playing games for 40 years, writing about them for 20, and I'm here to say parts of Roblox need to be legislated out of existence

This platform is a disgrace, and regulators need to act.
