It’s always interesting seeing these completely gleeful ads from a place which is by all accounts completely straitlaced, starched, and kind of miserable to work for... but I guess you could say exactly the same about Disney.

That ‘tiny mouth on the side of a giant snout’ thing does not work for Shazza.

Assuming you do FPSes, you really need to do Control. Brilliant, gorgeous, funny, meticulously designed and gated, and a complete blast.

You’re telling me his normal movies aren’t deliberately bad on purpose?

This game was very obviously kicked out the door by EA six months too early.

I wonder just how long you guys are going to put up with tediously typing ‘XBox One Series X’ for an entire generation.  Maybe XBoxSex?

I want to care, but for some reason I just can’t give any.

If you go that way, then it’s just a truism and there are no examples of non-capitalist societies larger than a village. Even North Korea has capitalism. Cuba has capitalism. Soviet Russia had capitalism. So yes, the apocalypse will be capitalist because statistically everything human on the planet is capitalist.

I don’t even think you need capitalism, it’s just the dominant paradigm so its excesses are clear and many happen under its umbrella.

Maybe we’ve just approached a soft limit on how many crap releases it’s worth for the shovelware people to crank out a year.

I hadn’t tried that one - I guess that modeler was doing things the ‘traditional’ way.

Movies have a different logic... Consoles: +1 is better. Movies: +1 is (usually) worse.

I noticed while playing that she wasn’t a typically sexy design video game female character. She’s built like a moderately fit normal person, and her body and especially face are too square for the rounded sexy/protect me look that designers like, even for female characters that are badasses like Aloy in Horizon Zero…

Police are searching for a hardened criminal.

Something I probably should have said in the original post, but my posts tend to get away from me so I held it back is that this kind of confusing naming is usually on purpose and a sure sign of a shady operator, like Nvidia.

I think it’s a good strategy - by being very predictable and derivative about everything like the naming and logos, Sony’s doing a seemingly deliberate opposite of whatever the hell Microsoft is doing with its XBox One Something X branding where you can’t even tell it’s new console unless you’re a gaming nerd.

Even in 2007, Witcher 1 was really dang janky. Okay, not so much the graphics, which were pretty okay for the time, but the combat and oh that f@#$ing endless swamp.

As you say in the last paragraph, this looks instantly obsolete and non-upgradeable when PS5 and Scarlett hit.  Which is not what you want from a $3500 rig.
