If only 99% of the discussion around this wasn’t absolute brainworms awful shit.

Deepfake shit really needs to be legislated around. That’s functionally identity theft at the very least when using real people, in addition to being kinda super really fucked up.

“You see, we need deeper connections to organized crime in the west if we’re to truly compete against the likes of Nintendo and their Yakuza connections from the early days.” - Bobby Kotick, probably in the very near future.

Sony Studios goes back 80 years.

Yet another area where Japanese television shits all over US TV. There’s no long-running, compelling drama unfolding in a series of adverts trying to sell us candy. Especially none with such unexpected and delightful twists.

I think you mistake sarcasm for trolling. I’m mostly still not impressed with Microsoft and Phil Spencer, who had all last-gen to prep for this generation and still whiffed outside of the huge success of Game Pass. Halo is in shambles and arguably the best received first party game this generation has been a surprised…

They’ve talked up their need for more valuable IP’s and how they can’t compete against what Sony has created. They’re fairly explicit in arguing to the FTC that they’re just a bunch of incompetent losers with way too much money that needs to spend another $70B, after spending $7B on a major publisher and their IP’s a…

rofl, someone got banned from a sub and is still salty over it

She’s cite anything to justify her views even if she wasn’t getting huge royalty checks, because she knows as well as the rest of us that people aren’t buying HP shit because she’s a TERF.

“I don’t think they fully appreciate that it’s a free-to-play business, that the Japanese and Chinese companies dominate the industry.”

GTAO is a great example of what many others chased (including Rockstar with RDRO), while also being a great example of how you basically can’t beat the “Best in Class” that caused a genre to blow up. 

As a mod in some other forums, this is practical. It’s not to say that the mods don’t clearly support trans rights and have a position on the issue (they do!), but as a practical nature of online discourse and the free nature of modwork and all opening this can of worms is a wonderful way to attract the worst kinds of…

Damn, what a boss. I’ll have to dig up some old AMV Hell episodes or something to watch in his honor. 

Feels like the GaS genre is entering “Post-WoW glut” window that the MMO genre went through after every publisher rushed out a MMO trying to get in on that WoW money.

Rofl

I know. Japan has fantastic TV shows that have long been based on doing silly/simple things and physically abusing the contestants. Like, the abuse is the joke. Anyways, they’ve done their own fun take on it which is what I was referencing:

Common factors in folks who favor support roles in games are that they enjoy the social aspect more than the competitive play, and they enjoy helping the group achieve goals over individual glory (putting others first, empathy).

I can’t get the image of Lance Reddick with the high top and all leather out of my head, but yes he was definitely a highlight.

These will be the kinds of updates that will spark joy on the internet.
