“I have guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israeli Defense Force, and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to.”

They’re saying that he was let go because his focus on the for-profit arm of OpenAI threatened to impede their non-profit goals of safe and equitable AI for everyone. If this is true then it is possibly a good decision for him to be pushed out, but one must always be wary of the legitimacy of altruism within…

1 game selling well doesn’t prove anything. It needs to be consistent and it needs to not be widely available elsewhere. Let’s be honest, the Steam crowd isn’t going to jump ship to GamePass for 1 game.

When I think of the resources that would have gone into constructing these shrines that would need to look like new even centuries later, still work as puzzles, and still have active power sources, and then pretty much cease to function after one person completes each one, I’m left wondering if diverting even a…

Obviously an “I don’t care to answer this” answer which is fine IMO. However, this does highlight that though BotW/TotK really added a lot to the concept of open-world games, I don’t think they did nearly as much for Zelda games overall.

Between the end of the Calamity and the events of TotK that device had a whole story arc about resisting the collective desire to evaporate because it had found a new purpose in life: to be a hat. 

Yes it was easily my favorite mission, but that first mission you go on with Vanguard after your training was genuinely spooky (had that feel of the first Alien movie, it was good). But now it’s got me wanting a dead space mmo, so the next DLC I want it to be a grounded Horror experience, and an arc where I can become…

It’s boiling down a mechanic to its most superficial function, and then judging it solely on that, something that Bethesda has been more and more guilty of.

I’m confused. The ‘Easter Egg’ is that a real planet exists in both games, which exist in reasonable facsimiles of ‘Real Life’?

And the supporting evidence is ‘both planets have Earth like biomes’?

I did this for Starfield. Just marked my calendar and then read what everyone was saying when early access started.

Over the first few days a bad IGN review dropped and some people criticised the pacing. Then better reviews dropped, and more people started saying it picks up after the first 12 hours.

On release day I…

 Games are being artificially delayed

Cool so it took 1 person a few days(?) to completely overhaul and fix the game’s terrible inventory system? It’s a good job that Bethesda aren’t a billion dollar development/publishing goliath with a track record of their games needing the same fixes from community mods of every game they release or this would be…

My issue with the Karlach story is that they go big on dangling the “find the infernal iron to try and fix things so she won’t burn up if she stays in Faerun” carrot in front of the player.

Game makers are certainly not lazy or entitled, but I do think that there is a certain mindset that exists where people are not used to constraints in various forms. I’ve posted about this years before when talking about file sizes and such, where game makers and publishers have no to little incentive to reduce file…

So, ltt does have 5 or 6 channels. Not to mention exclusives that go up on float plane. I believe they were previously trying to get out something like 14 videos a week, and I don’t think includes the float plane exclusives or clips. Though perhaps not multiple dozens, it’s still quite a lot.

The things reported by Gamers Nexus while serious seemed like mistakes, some bigger than others and definitely need correcting. But the whole situation with Maddison seems fucked up and if true would completely sour my perception of LMG as a company and Linus as a person.

Finally, someone else said it.

Thank you. It makes me feel like I’m losing my shit hearing all these “well technically it’s legal” arguments. They know it’s fucked up, they know they have no moral ground to stand on, so they move to this weird obscured legal argument to try and distract from the actual point.

It teeters on a will-the-won’t-they, but drops all pretenses mid-game.
