Baldur’s Gate 3 and Elden Ring were games that made developers panic, because they know they aren’t even trying to deliver something anywhere near that level: in the former case, because it’s unique, and in the latter case, because its overall game design was ambitious, and near perfectly developed. THAT is what it…

I wish I could find it (oh, Google) but on Reddit there was someone claiming to be a Google engineer saying that Google’s search engine works the way it does because it’s more or less programmed to think it’s smarter than you are.

I can’t blame them. Google search results have been steadily deteriorating over the last 5 years.

It was difficult but that was the best part of it - it had an actual challenge. The mainline Pokemon games are so mind-numbingly easy that I quickly lost interest as I grew older. TCG made you think about strategy and building different decks for different opponents.

So, linguistic analysis, which is fine - perfectly fine - if done by underpaid (or unpaid) interns entering data manually while being bored and miserable is somehow wrong if the process is automated?

Gotta change the name of the ‘impossible’ mode to ‘improbable’ now.

IMHO one of the strongest female characters on TV in quite a long time. Which makes seeing her out of character almost jarring!

Look, I would’ve watched the newest season, but I got cut off when Netflix cracked down on password sharing and in light of *waves arms wildly* going on in the film and TV industry, I wasn’t rushing to sign up for my own account.

Oh, no, it’s WAY worse than that. Just listen to him:

So once again, blaming your audience rather than blaming what actually is the problem: Poor writing

It’s only 100% Tuna in 1 shop in S.Dakota. That takes care of it for advertising.

I think Fell Seal was a pretty good take on this genre. Fae Tactics was good too, but its radical minimalism might not be for all tastes. (Everything you do in combat is left-click or right-click with no menus.)

Whatever it is, we are on the Nintendo flop cycle, right?

What? They're right. 

To me this just reeks of a desperate and hollow attempt at legitimacy and I can never tell if its just me that sees it that way.

Well, don’t get any more clearer than this that e-sports have nothing to do with gamers anymore and that normal people have taken over it.

Are you sure about that? More layers means more sweat.

Apparently they’re very comfy. I know a few healthcare workers who swear by them for 12-hour hospital shifts (albeit close-toed versions for obvious reasons).

It never ceases to amaze me that people like Crocs. I remember when they first started going mainstream in the mid, late 2000s. Shocked anyone besides the Karens of that time wearing them. Of course, now that I think back, they brought their grandkids in tow and here we are.

Ugh, I hate when XV did this (the days getting shorter and shorter), I can’t believe they’ve done this again. At least XV reverted it when you beat the game. The environments being pretty was one of the most appealing things about the game, knowing that it just gets shitty and stays shitty is not helping the odds of me…
