They haven't started monetizing this game yet, have they? Cause it's still in an early access of some kind, right?

in which I get real pissy about Newsom enabling the Paramount merger, vetoing protections for abortion & gender affirming care providers, and pulling policy fakeout after fakeout while acting like he's the saving grace of the left

Worth noting, as Macklemore was banned by NFL owners in what will be dubbed "fighting antisemitism", that Kanye, who - sold merch with swastikas - said on Alex Jones that he idolizes Hitler - tweeted he was "going Defcon 3 on Jewish people" is currently on a multi-city tour of NFL stadiums

If I had to guess it's that they've never had the absurd sales success of a Skyrim or a Witcher 3 and sales envy makes them be like "hey this isn't just a ""JRPG"" for weebs, it's for everyone" and that kind of pitch doesn't resonate. But maybe this time it will!

The one big flaw of 3D Zelda pre-BotW. It's genuinely one of the reasons I have always struggled to play these games because of it for some reason

You can see a little of what they're adding to every weapon with the new boost gauntlet mechanic - they haven't put out a video just on SnS yet but they've been putting one a day out - youtu.be/50e68NwnzPs?...

Maybe I'm a dummy simpleton but I thought the state of play was good. FF7R3 continues to look like goofy fun, MonHun and Crimson Desert expansions are adding cool things to both those games, and that Gundam game looks like it'll be a fun time. And FF Resonance!

The game parts of KH2 are way better. The story takes an absolute dive from 1 because the plot isn't allowed to happen for half it's runtime

When you use "AI" for advertising, art, or an email, what you are telling people — whether you realize it or not — is "I don't give a shit".

"I'm entitled to whatever I want whenever I want it for any reason and I don't care what satisfying these urges does to me or the world" well okay dude, seems like there's something deeper going on here, but that's just my take

AC6 is a wildly good gameplay experience and story tied to the worst of the early 360-era challenges like realistically rendering characters

Finished the OG resident evil 4 again and some parts of this game still feel incredible and others... Well they're fine. The PS2 version has such a lovely grime to it though

Just thinking about this PlayStation no more physical disc stuff and I'm looking at the fact that the ps5 ssd is actually just chips soldered to the motherboard - flash memory chips that can and will go bad, and will likely leave the ps5 dead with no recourse. This all sucks

MC Leon @mcleon.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
I'm certainly an outlier here, but I buy physical games on my consoles probably 4 times as frequently as I buy digitally. If this is the direction PlayStation sticks with I'm just out. I don't care enough about what their 3 studios that are left are making to jump when they tell me to

At this point I'll be surprised if Xbox puts out a video game besides Fable next year. And even that game's release feels tenuous

MC Leon @mcleon.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
Beat Alan Wake after many many years of owning it. Glad to have played the original release with it's product placement. Cool game, a little too samey in the combat scenario and honestly if they just cut 15% out of everything and it would've felt better paced. Excited to get to AW2 finally

How many studios could remain open if Sharma just didn't get paid? Why do these executives get millions just to fail and fuck over hundreds to thousands of people's lives and throw out good talent and art to make a line go up this quarter or fiscal year?

I found the English version's script to be very... Boring? Bland? But the combat system is pretty fun and it's a cool world.

That's cause they're better games. No, but actually I think it's because the menu switching in BotW keeps the world partially in view and it's dungeons aren't as complex. The full pause menu to equip iron boots and that leading to your brain losing its spacial position makes it harder than it is

AC04 was literally one of the first games I owned (my dad bought it and crash: wrath of Cortex alongside our ps2 for Christmas '01) and I was 5 at the time. The game was just fun fighter jet stuff for me then but it and the series has grown on me so much and this was a great read. Thanks!

MC Leon @mcleon.bsky.social · 29/05/2026
The biggest issue with emulating the PS2 games is getting a good solution for the analog shoulder buttons that were used for things like throttle/yaw. The games are fully playable but can feel a little funky with straight digital controls. AC6 on the 360 is the weakest post-04 but still worth it
