Currently in the process of weening myself off of a medication I’ve taken daily for 12 years. Not fun!

I saw this screenshot going around, found this detail charming, looked more into the game (I've never played a Silent Hill) & decided to buy it. Btw these are the "unimportant" background assets AI idiots think AI should be used for

Screenshot of a Twitter post by Val / @shegoingtogloat - it's a Silent Hill screenshot showing a close up of a cork board. On it, a paper says "Welcome to Shorefront Family Clinic" in a classic wiggly 3D font style. The tweet text is: Is this a Silent Hill asset made using PowerPoint lol"

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

One of Hideo Kojima's real talents is that he would have exactly this idea but the stew would be dropped off by a drone that sings a little jingle which can alert enemies if they're in range. You then get a phone call from a nuclear scientist who warns you not to eat too much starch and dairy.

Just a PSA for all the other major publishers: You can’t make a GTA 6. Don’t have any meetings about it. Don’t put together any pitch decks. Don’t preemptively doom your workforce and the industry any further than you already have. Leave it alone.

On this day 15 years ago, we launched our first game, Bastion. To everyone who helped the Kid survive the Calamity, thank you!!🙏 You're the reason we've been able to carry on as an independent studio ever since.

Proper story's supposed to start at the beginning. Ain't so simple with this one.

Can I try to make everyone feel a little better? Only eight teams have won the World Cup, ever, in its nearly century-long history. And England is one of them - and there or thereabouts for some years now. It’ll happen.

A thread that would be more interesting if the World Cup was held annually and if more than 8 countries had won it

I dunno man, I feel like if you're a platform holder that is being criticized for not having very many appealing games to support your platform, closing down studios making interesting games for your platform or cancelling their projects might be a move people won't respond well to.

Weyland-Yutani from Aliens is a surprisingly realistic portrayal of companies nowadays because you never get any real idea of how they actually make money but they certainly have a desire to do evil and sometimes Paul Reiser is there

Fun fact: England and Croatia have each played in separate world cup finals that ended 4-2 (England’s victory in 1966 and Croatia’s loss to France in 2018).

I do not fully trust critics who are not both lovers and haters. All I want is for you to have some kind of taste, some kind of ethic, and I want you to argue in favor of it, which should inevitably mean that you greatly admire some works in your chosen field and definitely don’t admire others.

Just finished the Onimusha demo. At least Capcom are making good games. We can rely on Capcom. Bloody excellent stuff. Love how methodical the combat is. Makes the over-animated, basically a cutscene combat in Wolverine and GoW seem amateurish.

“White people can’t handle spicy food” only partially correct. There are two kinds of white people when it comes to spicy food, ones that can’t handle ketchup and ones that put hot sauce called like “insanity joe’s devilfucking sauce” on everything.
