Just here to say, Dave The Diver is not an indie game. It was made by a near billion dollar company by an internal team. Otherwise, yes. A crazy year for gaming.

It’s a combination of it being a new medium, and capitalism in general. This happened with the BBC and Doctor Who, because no one cared to save episodes of a children’s show, and melted the film to make ladies shoe heels. Now there are whole swaths of episodes of the original seasons, that are either just gone or…

I’m not a huge fan of this. I’m not a fan of Tucker Carlson, and I never will be, but this is probably the most human I’ve ever heard him be, and using it to demonize him feels kind of scummy. Family troubles are hard, and I honestly don’t blame him for his actions (at least with this.)

Seeing as the lists i’ve been seeing are actually very popular cars, it probably has nothing to do with real life manufacturers. It’s just trying to get people to pay for GTA+. It’s pretty gross. They released the HSW upgrades for the stinger gt recently, and it’s one of the cars pulled, and was instantly put in the…

I can’t believe i’m going to use the phrase “stuck in a cellphone bubble” with a straight face, but It’s clear directors have never used middle to low budget cell phones. They’re hot garbage, and barely workable. I miss calls all the time, fumble with them switching modes in the middle of the call, and as time goes on…

I gave my mom my old switch when I upgraded to an OLED. She loves the thing. Plays Picross and Phoenix Wright on it, as well as all the switch online classic stuff with our family plan.

Why would I ever trust what a company has to say publicly about how their sales are doing? It will always be in their best interests to lie.

I mean, sure, but I’ll also note that only one of your examples is actually probably a good one. And it’s not a hard ban. Cars are just regulated. Both the switchblade ban and the hemp rope ban have nothing to do with the safety/danger of their products, and everything to do with government trying to outlaw culture it…

Now, i’m no country lawyer, so take what i say with a grain of salt, but I think it has to do with restrictions on making contracts  in perpituity, i.e. last forever. The family of the queen thing is a lawyer injoke thing that they use to get around that, because while it’s not forever, the way it’s written, it might…

You’re mostly right, except Zelda totally had the thing where the player base all rolled to get everywhere because they thought it was “faster”. Probably a human condition to think you’re not going fast enough if you’re not doing something while moving somewhere. Bunny hopping came about the same way (through was…

It just means they’re unwilling to pay him for rewrites. It’s really hard to tell what it means. It could be nothing, or everything. However you feel about his writing, Lindelof is a big name, and probably pretty expensive. And with his style (He and J.J. pioneered mystery box writing.) it might actually be worth your…

Hurray. I can now say we live in a world where “art drm” has become a thing that was needed. Excuse me while I stare dejected at a wall.

The thing is, it didn’t even do that. It’s basically a game of cultural telephone. A french dev team’s idea of what the american rural life is like, vs the reality of it. More cultural stereotypes than actual realism. They just didn’t have the context to understand what any of that stuff is actually like. It’s french…

If there are people who’ve never watched a star wars movie, there are people who’ve never played tetris. The last tetris game of any note was Tetris Effect in 2018, and the last release just called “Tetris” was in 2014. And these releases were not pushing the precent of audience that the original game did in the 80's…

It’s not like the fanbase wouldn’t create a billion versions of him in the character creator if they didn’t include him. He would of joined Chris Benoit in create a wrestler infamy.

I think everyone here is vastly underestimating how many board games are shipped and sold. I was watching a random video on youtube where a shipping guy bought a random truck’s shipment that had been abandoned by it’s original owner. It was filled with pallets full of boxes of harry potter yatzee, and various other…

I’m not sure what world you live in, where people havn’t been bitching and complaining about how shit and or offensive family guy is for (checks watch, screams at age), decades now. It was South Park 2.0. People have always loved to shit on it for any number of reasons. I can totally believe that he was getting crap…

I mean, people use tools in game development all the time. By many definitions, it’s probably already happened. I know the GTA Remasters (for as bad as they were), used ai upres tools to do a ton of the texture work.
