His face popped up in Miles Morales and I physically cringed. It’s like a weird, plastic, dead doll’s face compared to the expressiveness of the original. Like they’re afraid he’s going to look ugly if they give him actual facial expressions.

Person who wants to keep getting paid defends people who pay him.

Exactly. Beyond the out of nowhere face change, the reason provided for it is pure horseshit.

I don’t like the new face, looks too young but that is just my Opinion and this is not the problem i have with the face change.

The problem I have is they said that it would help facial animation and it was necessary. I’m a rigger in the video game industry and I call this statement bullshit. Especially with today’s…

I’m not arguing here against the state being hostile to women’s healthcare and personhood one bit. I agree with you. I am just stating, and I think we’re going to be seeing more of this due to these insane violations of the rights of pregnant people, that consequentially folks are going to take steps and actions, like…

Only took them 16 years, an absolutely horrible release, being offered in game pass, and the gaming market multiplying in size since their last half decent release. Also what do I care about their sales, I want a good game, which to me at least sea of thieves is not.

Even though that law applies to licensed abortion providers, not people self-managing their own terminations, Jessica Burgess was still charged.

Kotick has been winning while losing for twenty years. He’s too big to fail and shareholders choose CEOs based on how much they get away with ripping off workers and consumers. That’s the whole business model.

I am pro-choice and deeply mourning the loss of reproductive rights in this country. [Bracing]. And I also think this case feels complex as at over 7 months we are talking less about a clump of cells and more about a living being who could technically be born at that time and, with assistance, survive. If this occured…

Terrible news for games in general.

Man, ignoring all the pervert stuff and just focusing on games, I just don’t get this attitude some people have that Microsoft is gonna shepherd ABK to greatness/right the ship/whatever metaphor. Where have they done that with ANY studio they've bought? And the people who think suddenly old IPs will be revived... when…

This is a net-negative for the industry. Microsoft isn’t historically a good steward of the things they buy. They are the console manufacturer with the least goodwill toward gamers as a whole.

That’s not even considering the shit they got slapped for in the 2000s re: antitrust.  Fuck Microsoft.

Yeah, ship's gonna get righted into the same cliff the Rare ship dropped.

this sucks

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah…

They’re still shoving them into videogames, so we must stay ever vigilant.

Down by the river in a van 

They’re now claiming they can finally start using NFTs for their intended purpose, which is...something something contract or signature authentication or something something I dunno. It’s alluded to in this article. There is apparently some magical valuable “use” for NFTs beyond just overcharging people for a…

Whenever an article critical of NFTs was posted back in the day people would come out of the woodwork defending how valuable and revolutionary they would be and how you just “didn’t get it”. Where are those people now?

A good and expected result.  Now can we never talk about them again?
