It’s a little strange that a site that complains loudly about other people using AI generators is using one to make content.

Why doesn’t someone just tell them that all their assets will just import to another game, through the magic of NFTs? I heard that from NFT bros for months on end.

“Ready to riot”? “Up in arms”? What the fuck is this, Fox News?

I pushed myself for 10 years as a tester. I was regularly recognized both for my strong skills as a tester, and for my insightful feedback and contributions in design discussions. I had all the ambition in the world. Still got chewed up and spat out by 2 year contractor gigs at studios where I contributed to games…

I did testing for a decade in the gaming industry, being treated just like this. Now I test web-pages in a professional setting, and get paid almost 3 times as much to do the same work, but easier. I tell all of my friends in QA this, because the cheap labor we’ve given the industry is making it dependent on such…

I think I can be OK with progress bars filling a little slowly in my free shooter game for a little while if it means the devs get to take a holiday break. They already pushed hard to make this available for the Thanksgiving weekend.

My game group likes Overwatch, HoTS, and Starcraft. But every time Blizzard fucks up like this, we all stop playing their games for 6 months or so. We haven’t felt comfortable diving into one of their games in almost 2 years now, and none of us have any plans to buy into any new Blizzard titles until it doesn’t feel…

How do you stream to a web-browser? I see the path for using a phone, but I can’t find the web-browser game streaming anywhere.

The last big game this happened to was Anthem. Remember Anthem? The super hyped Bioware game about being Iron Man in Destiny?

Ken does an “strange history” podcast called The Omnibus (along with John Roderick from the band The Long Winters). He’s got a lively conversational style and has a lot of fun imagining silly hypotheticals. His quick wit and wide base of trivia combined with his well developed research skills make for a fun and…

You say, bringing the topic to the conversation.

My friends and I talk a lot about a D&D take on this. Players would take on the roles of the minis being used for tabletop roleplaying. The Roleplayers would be giant, towering figures around the table that move you around and provide context, but you handle the interactions and combat.

What would be especially cool is…

Instead they did it clever. Anthem has NO PvP at all, so this gets competitive FPS players a draw to Origin right when their friends are getting pulled in for Anthem, and right at the school-year lull where the “back to school” buzz has died down and spring break still feels far away.

DAE remember this million dollar marketing campaign that was plastered over every games journalism source in the 90s?

I picked up a pair of Mpow Seashell wireless earbuds a few months ago on Amazon, mostly because they were only about $20. I have been very, very impressed with them, using them most days. I’d say my only slight complaint is that if my phone is down in my pants pocket, they’ll have a choppy connection sometimes. But if…

Racing games aren’t really my cup of tea, but I think Forza on the Xbone did an incredible job using the front and back vibration motors to simulate the feel of your tires as you cross over different surfaces. We’ve had the “rumble when you’re off road” feature since Mario Kart 64, but Forza refined it in a subtle and…
