Having played Sun and Ultra Moon back to back I have to say I'm extremely frustrated with Ultra's story. They didn't change much, but they gutted all of the best parts of the original story and robbed it of its emotional core.

duude im so tired of seeing chatgpt speak *everywhere* i dont even care that much that people apparently need a robot to write all their shit for them, I just wish it wasn't so fucking glaringly recognizable they can't even be assed to paraphrase it just a little bit?

yknow the vibe I get from this is that they used AI to do all their concept art and then made the game to emulate that aesthetic because this looks almost exactly like what I'd expect an AI to generate when prompted to generate an image for a super duper high graphics OoT remake

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake

you'd think the only reason Nintendo ever had their iconic toony styles was because they were using underpowered hardware someone gave them too much power and now it's so, so wrong

So it sounds like Discord is bringing back global age verification like they said they would, but delayed to 2027. But it seems like they're reneging on their automatic age guessing system? So *everyone* will have to age verify to access adult content. Switch to Matrix to free the nip

My tendency to name my character the same in every game has made the Memory Link feature in Black 2 a bit awkward.

Is it the incredibly vague titles and thumbnails? Because I sure love that my feed keeps getting filled with videos that could be about LITERALLY ANYTHING no girl I don't want to have to click every video on my feed to find out what they're about, we had a solution to that and its dropping the ball

A YouTube video titled "This Stupid Trend is Taking Over YouTube". The thumbnail is simply the host holding their microphone and standing next to the word STUPID in all capital letters, with YouTube blurred in the background.

Progressives being so quick to dismiss the monumental and historical 2020 Black Lives Matter movement as "yeah we were crazy cause of lockdowns" is really depressing. I do feel like this Woke 1 vs Woke 2 thing is an overcorrection at points and doesn't feel that different from Dem backpedaling

The dualsense battery life is so depressing I game only on PC (don't have a PS5) but i bought the 30th anniversary controller when it came out cause i love the PS1 and thought it was cool but the battery lasts like 4 - 6 hours

it would never happen (game publishers would throw a massive fit and boycott the platform) but imagine if Steam let you convert your games back into keys, removing them from your library and allowing you to resell them, offering a used games marketplace in the digital era

So typically to commission an artist you gotta know what you want But do people offer a service of like, helping you design a character? If you don't entirely know/have some vague ideas but not specifics? A collaborative discussion and experimentation to nail it down?

this title and thumbnail combination fills me with an intense anger

A video titled "The PlayStation Was Capable of This All Along?"
The thumbnail shows the PS1 playing Super Mario 64, but also depicts the person holding a ram stick labelled "8x the RAM" with an arrow pointing to the PS1 labeled "Upgrade".

Hey so am I the only one who just found out that Rockstar had an 18 year old disappeared and declared mentally incompetent to make his own decisions because he leaked info about gta vi before they wanted it out? Seriously evil shit, do NOT buy this game no matter how long you've been waiting

I’d be cool if I never ever saw another review like this. The fact that these companies are actively making everything worse is not independent of the fact that they also make hardware—it’s actually the same problem. gizmodo.com/meta-fury-ai...

The list goes on, and with everything I just laid out, there’s also one more thing I have to state. Despite all of the ickiness, surveillance dystopia, and glassholism that abounds with Meta’s smart glasses, seemingly one of the worst big tech companies (where ethics are concerned) still makes the best smart glasses money can buy.

Have you ever shuffled your feet on working on a project, only to watch as the years go by as it seems a lot of other people had the same ideas and oversaturated it to such a degree that if you came out with the same thing now it'd be incredibly boring and cringe

Dumpling~ @lovelydumpling.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

There's a common conservative point about how social services make people "lazy" and unwilling to work and that it encourages people to stay in poverty rather than become more successful Setting aside how incredibly untrue that is— would it even such a bad thing if it WERE true?

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

I think what these game companies don't understand is that we really do not have to buy another new videogame again. The sheer volume of games with no genAI material is so vast I could effectively replay old titles until I die.

THIS! The industry is in BAD shape thanks to poor planning/acquisitions and spending by the people in charge, who have now been sold a silver bullet in AI to solve this and are learning 1) it's not a silver bullet but a band aid at best and 2) it's negatively effecting sales when used!

This one fucking hurts. I loved watching his history of Yu-Gi-Oh videos because it gave such insight to an era I grew up in and didn't get to participate in. My heart goes out to his family, and the Yu-Gi-Oh community lost a real one.

Just learned from a reddit post a friend sent that Alex Cimo passed away. Absolutely fucking gutted man. Progression series and History of YuGiOh got me through so much of covid when I was most isolated and just jamming edopro lobbies constantly if not working or drunk.
