David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Yeah nah, I’ll take Shreiers’ track record of reporting, transparency and honesty over Kojima’s any day. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Best case: they’ve shed some toxic team leads & can begin to reshape their studio. Sister studios help get their shit together now that they have to be accountable. Worst case, toxicity remains and studio gets stripped for parts in a year or two. Best of luck, I hope they pull this off. 001
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 15/09/2026It’s so rough to see these developments come in over time. I can’t help but hope they can pull this off despite their shit management. 010
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Maybe don’t sell access or updates for your mods via Patreon? They should have known better. 101
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Dope! I’m stoked for this. I’m still thankful I steered clear of the hate trend for Crimson Desert. I didn’t have to scroll far on youtube & insta to see top commenters everyone parrots eventually preach Sweet Baby Inc or woke conspiracies and now I see where the hate train is going. Sick of it. 010
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The way these answers are worded reminds me of the id Software response to layoffs and some comments from Ashta and her team. I just hope it’s what the studio actually wanted and doesn’t come with being rushed to push a lesser product out the door than the devs intended. Time flies. 010
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 12/09/2026This all reminds me of the Arkham games review cycle lol. So glad I didn’t rely on the handholding narrative buzzing around at that time as well. The detective vision and trail following gripes irritate me to this day. 010
Reposted by DavidJohn Linneman @dark1x.bsky.social · 12/09/2026With all the blue trails talk in Wolverine, I think it’s worth showing an example. It’s used to represent smell in select instances like this. However, it’s not a GPS trail - you’ll note it lingers in a specific area but doesn’t actually direct you. Also, waypoint markers are optional and off here. 3219813
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Saros clears most games I’ve played this year tbh. I still remember boss fights and encounters today, while I can’t even remember if First Light had a proper villain. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Thanks for the reminder lol i forget constantly about these prime freebies 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 10/09/2026My honest opinion too. Last rumor was he wanted Robert Pattinson bc they met and apparently discussed some things they couldn’t share. Considering DS2 barely broke even, idk maybe it was tough to justify moving forward. Still, weird and messy development. 080
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Yea i agree. Time will tell and i hope for his success. I also hope he makes sure MS doesn’t take his IP in an emotionally high contract signing. Especially rn i’d be SO cautious. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 10/09/2026In this timeline this will prob end up being Kojimas first project incorporating AI dialogue to “blur the lines between reality and fiction” or something lol. I hope for success but I fully expect this to get fuckier by the week one way or another. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 10/09/2026He prob wants an expensive A-list actor to lead tbh and they’re running a tight ship rn. MS just fired thousands so maybe they got some cash to play with lol, still prob not a great call rn from Sony. Then again, if it flopped everyone would say Sony ruined Kojima so its a risk either way. 110
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 10/09/2026DS1 made some profit, selling around 5 million copies. DS2 interest was dramatically lost given it only broke even after PC sales barely got it to about 2 million sales. So considering how many celebrities dude is trying to use rn it was prob a shocking price tag and growing. 240
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Well yea? We have been purchasing a license since digital media became a thing ages ago. From steam to onlyfans it’s stated right there when we agree to use these services. Every adult with eyes to read and critical thinking skills should reasonably understand this lol. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Always exceptions but overall direction is quite clear. PC followed the trend & Xbox saw cost/digital preference as a reason to cease shipping discs to Brazil years ago. Ball has been rolling for a while. We can cherry-pick regions, but it’s energy better spent rallying for better digital rights imo 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Thank you for the extra info, I went and looked and that’s correct. That’s the added info I meant that would have been helpful in the article instead of just a tweet lol. But yes it makes sense to include it on a console box as well. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I agree. I was just surprised at reporting on a tweet vs a source with official confirmation or corroborating evidence. It was disappointing to see. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Respectfully, it’s from a tweet of a content creator that has not been corroborated. Do we know it’s not AI or a fake? 200
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Aw i really enjoyed the second game. It may have been a bit too ambitious for its own good, but it had all the comic whimsy and drama i enjoy with the combat and systems to back it up. Clearing the first game’s accomplishments is a tall order tho, so i get it if it didn’t quit get there for folks. 010
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Following the PC and xbox formula i guess. I wish folks made this much of a fuss when it all started. We really should be focusing on digital media rights rn instead of all the shitposting and spam. We never learn. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 28/07/2026An occasional mini game is cool, like complementary is key imo. Being someone who likes to compete most things, the amount of mini games in FF VII Rebirth kinda ruined it for me for example. Skipping them felt bad, doing them felt worse lol. 010
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I was blocked over a very mild opinion by someone I respect, it still bothers me a bit when i see their work quoted lol but its fine. Brick wall vs trampoline mentality. Can we be flexible in disagreement while maintaining our opinion & mutual respect? Not always easy. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Art really got sidelined for leaning on UE features. And even the art side of things, like the skybox and ring are realistic but off. The ring appearing to look smaller really bugs me also. The OG feels isolating and artificial by design. Now it’s shiny, but cluttered and uninspired imo. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Actually tho lol, hulu and steam were broken for me also. Amazon was pretty quick to fix but it was a pain for a while until the fix stuck. 100
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I get it, and i’d have liked to see/hear less about how bad other versions were vs just straight OG comparisons, but maybe use a bit more tact ya know? John is a pretty straight forward guy, and he puts care into what he does. Disingenuous is def not applicable here imo. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Tinfoil hat theory: Left position working on developing dev tools at Xbox to take a position w a company developing AI-assisted dev tools. The move might be strategic, to create a bridge for a contract in the near future for implementing said AI dev tools at xbox to cover the cut manpower. 020
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 21/07/2026I’m the last in my friend/work groups that buys physical tbh. They tease me for still using Gamefly to try games before i buy lol. A lot of younger soldiers in my circles for example find the discourse/comment spam irritating, and it’s definitely shifted my perspective. It’s interesting. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Raffle it out and pass it on like a cursed object and spread the rage. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Listing methods that tend to sway public sentiment against a cause, as well as being the least publicly supported forms of protest by a wide margin is interesting. 100
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Even if it impacts smaller businesses huh? Nice…truly convincing. 100
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Sure, I also know what a shitposting campaign is, which is what this has become. 100
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I always appreciate the occasional hero in comments that just tells us what the clickbait says 020
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Yea as an enthusiast, but not professional, i can absolutely see the difference between typical ray tracing and path tracing. Cyberpunk alone is a staggering change. Even my casual friends could tell through discord streaming. 010
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I have community notes access on insta/threads, a good 15% or so up for review are made by AI. I had quite a moment when an AI note was fact checking an AI screenshot in a shitpost. Especially w the Sony thing, the flood of bots/AI posts is staggering. Many likes tho. What a time to be alive. 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 16/07/2026As someone who buys physical, i agree. Harassing devs by spamming and shitposting in their comments helps how though? It’s a great way to shift sentiment against your cause, which is prob the point by these bad faith actors. We should know how the internet works by now. 210
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Perhaps to shiposting subs where they are probably from tbh. Between bots, terminally online copy pasta shitposters and cheeky fanboys from other platforms, these people are genuinely doing more harm than good, and they know it. Lets be real. 110
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Doubt any of them actually have a playstation or buy physical games. What an irritating group of people directing hate to all the wrong places. 120
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Mostly just want to know if this is something that feels passionate. Are they telling their own story and carving out something fresh, or is this mostly familiar and a bit by the numbers. Additionally, how is the music? Any standout moments where combat and music had that magic handshake? 000
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 13/07/2026“Sir, why are there so many cheese review links on your resume?” *businessman #2 interrupts* “No, no…I’ve seen enough. You’re clearly overqualified, but the job is yours” 001
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Yea i def agree. Even if it’s possible, it certainly can’t happen without a terrible amount of pressure and stress for the devs that remain. Why anyone would want to break apart such a finely tuned team is beyond me. 020
David @legendarybacons.bsky.social · 10/07/2026There’s certainly some motivating factor behind this move right? They need favor or a seat at a table to cushion or assist something in the near future. No way this was just an “opportunity we couldn’t pass up situation. I’m trying hard to keep my tinfoil hat shelved, but this is too coincidental. 010
