One of the most bleak turns of the industry is Level 5's adoption and full-throated support and usage of AI. RIP to some of our favorite IPs. There is an official boycott of Level 5, who used to be my (Col here) favorite studio of all time. Don't support studios using AI to produce their "art".

Infinity is a Game Boy Color game by Affinix Team that was canceled before its 2002 release window, as the scene had moved on to GBA. The development saga is as epic as the game's own narrative, and it pushes the GBC to its absolute limits. Melancholy awaits. I'm obsessed @incube8games.bsky.social

Game publisher execs are about two more fads away from putting all their faith in literal magic beans. They went all-in on services, all-in on NFTs, all-in on AI. Every time they’re convinced they’ve invested in a divine cure-all. They believe in magic the way a child might. Except kids learn.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is *peak* societal critique and commentary. If you thought it was, what I've seen described as "popcorn anime bullshit"... I just can't connect with you. Xenoblade proves that everyone has worth. The fact that that's foundational knowledge some ppl lack is, like, super spooky.

The new Kingdom Hearts screenshots are such a nothing story and it makes me so sad that's is what "needs" to be covered to get views/clicks etc. It's a truly depressing time for general corpo games media. We're not the answer, but individual writers, and those hired *are*. Follow writers you like.
