I understand that there may be a lot of creeky under the hood type problems with REDengine. But it still seems very weird to abandon an engine that has currently produced the most graphically advanced triple A game of this generation so far, for an engine that while very promising at the point of them making the…

I absolutely prefer voiced protagonists, but Bethesda generally has bad dialog writing, and it feels even more pronounced when it’s voiced. I think the negative reaction to FO4 was partly the generic gamergate misogyny, but mostly people who had skimmed over the mediocre dialog in previous Bethesda games sitting and…

Arguably, Bethesda consistently over promises and under-delivers more than any other dev/publisher. It brings this criticism upon itself by making wild and bizarre claims such as “130 hours just to start the game” or “you can explore an entire barren planet if you want to.”

Seems to me Bethesda actually gets away with some stuff other Devs get called out on more. “Oh, it’s just Bethesda jank, modders will fix it, it’s expected.”

Maybe this is because I never played No Man’s Sky, but I never expected there to NOT be barriers on the different worlds. I guess I was already used to the limits that we had on Mass Effect with the smaller planets.

Welcome to the Pyrite Age of Televsion!

One of the issues might have been that they didn’t want to pay anyone residuals.

Here is some FREE PR advice for them . . .

One of my personal pet peeves about the AI “prompt-gineers” (aside from, you know, the theft of art and labour etc etc all that) is that they will “produce” a piece of work with shockingly obvious issues that wouldn’t fly past the eye of even an armature artist....and just say “fuck it, good enough. Post”

Correct take.

And that’s fine. Retcons to make a better story or adapt to out of control changes happen all the time.

Eh the minute differences didn’t really bug me. It was 95% the same scene shot for shot with a little extra bits to flesh it out. Books, and comics have done this for decades.

Filoni clearly had that plan for Sabine and Ahsoka mapped out based on the Rebels’ finale narration and their looks. I always wondered why she…

You know perfectly well what they mean, and it’s absolutely an appropriate use of that word.

Yeah, as soon as Sony signs the union contract and get stuff back in the pipeline others will blink, fast, they know the real deal

Hey, guys, I found the AMPTP sock puppet! ^^^^

Sony will break. Their stock is tanking due to the strikes and they have no streaming service to protect. It only takes that to start the end of the strike.

Except that it was the AMPTP that called for the blackout. The WGA wants transparency, The AMPTP wants to manipulate the news cycle to divide WGA membership.

In case it wasn’t already obvious which side was the assholes, only one side of this debate DEMANDED a media blackout to keep things “in good faith” and then IMMEDIATELY leaked their proposal to the industry trades that THEIR OWN MEMBER LITERALLY OWNS.

They’re also terrified at letting true viewership numbers be known. It really is more about power and control than dollars, at this point.

Is this post a joke? Do you honestly think there isn’t money in media? There is a tonne of money in media, the problem is that a bunch of the big players spent the money that they made chasing Netflix and buying up eachother and now they need to squeeze someone for that money and they settled on the Writers and the…
