Note the date: this is probably going to be enough fudging of the numbers to ensure the GTA 6 Extended Reveal is going to break the viewcount records on YouTube despite the 6 hour Netflix exclusivity.

So, I've signed up for this, and I'll be playing through Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 on stream over the weekend (in case you're wondering why I'm suddenly sending a bunch of stream notifications after months of inactivity).

microsoft developers using SteamOS running Windows-native games through compatibility layers AS A BENCHMARK for their new Windows K2 optimizations is one of the funniest fucking things to happen thus far in this current iteration of the OS war

For gaming, Microsoft views steamOS as the benchmark, and is working to optimize the platform so that steamOS and Windows gaming performance are comparable. Within the next year or two, it believes that Windows will be able to truly compete head-to-head with steamOS in gaming performance on identical hardware due to foundational changes that are being made to the platform in the coming months.

This will end up being likely a monologue and part of the intro of this week's premium, but every single person that wrote a "Sora 2 is destroying Hollywood" piece should be apologizing to their audiences and to the entertainment industry for deliberately misleading and scaring people in TV/Cinema

Per The Journal, emphasis mine:

CEO Sam Altman announced the changes to staff on Tuesday, writing that the company would wind down products that use its video models. In addition to the consumer app, OpenAI is also discontinuing a version of Sora for developers and won’t support video functionality inside ChatGPT, either.

Oh, okay! The app that CNBC said was “challenging Hollywood” and “freaking out the movie industry” and The Hollywood Report would suggest could somehow challenge Pixar and was Sam Altman successfully “playing Hollywood” and The Ankler said was OpenAI “going to war with Hollywood” as it “shook the industry” and Deadline said made Hollywood “sore” and Boardroom said was in a standoff with Hollywood and the LA Times said was “deepening a battle between Hollywood and OpenAI” and “igniting a firestorm in Hollywood” and Puck said had “Hollywood panicking” and TechnoLlama said was “the end of copyright as we know it” and Slate said was a case of AI "crushing Hollywood as it we’ve known it” is completely dead a little more than five months after everybody claimed it was changing everything.

It’s almost as if everybody making these proclamations was instinctually printing whatever marketing copy had been imagined by the AI labs to promote compute-intensive vaporware, and absolutely nobody is going to apologize to the people working in the entertainment industry for scaring the fuck out of them with ghost stories! Every single person who blindly repeated that Sora existed and was changing everything should be forced to apologize to their readers!

I cannot express the sheer amount of panic that spread through every single part of the entertainment industry as a result of these specious, poorly-founded mythologies spread by people that didn’t give enough of a shit to understand what was actually going on. Sora 2 was always an act of desperation - an attempt to create a marketing cycle to prop up a tool that burned as much as $15 million a day that most o…

Y'know those AI "beauty filters" you see on Chinese phones? Yeah, Nvidia decided to make that the flagship feature of DLSS 5. I probably should have expected AI upscalers in games to jump the shark eventually, but woof.

When Gigguk responded to the warning with "but two separate chats is fine", then this rule was inevitably headed for the dustbin. Still, good change for Twitch to remove a rarely-enforced and frankly always daft rule (that even I ignored).

Sarah Bond resigning is the bigger news, since everyone was assuming she would be Phil's replacement. The fact that the top Xbox job went to a yeswoman from the AI division instead doesn't inspire confidence in the future of the Microsoft-owned devs (and the rumoured Xbox PC is prob canned)

Owen Fuzz @owenfuzz.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Is PlayStation Studios out of ideas? No small games? Not trying to make a frendslop game for consoles? Not remaking Bloodborne? Or remaking other Sony back catalogue game? Or even doing ports? Not even porting the Demons Souls remake to PC? Nothing?

Owen Fuzz @owenfuzz.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Yeah, Riot halving 2XKO's development team three weeks after the console launch does not inspire confidence in the long-term for this game.

Owen Fuzz @owenfuzz.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

So yeah, it looks like the Steam Machine has been hosed by the RAM shortages. Steam Frame is probably also getting hit, but as the Index replacement it could get away with being $700+. The Machine can't, it needs to be cheap.

Highguard Steam CCV discourse: the first Friday peak being higher than the first Saturday peak being higher than the first Sunday peak is the Pattern of Death for an aspiring live service game. Back to the drawing board, folks.

Owen Fuzz @owenfuzz.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Highguard cold take: I might give it a spin when it launches tonight, but I'm not expecting much. Streaming it would probably be pointless since I'm expecting a big sponsorship campaign resulting in everyone and their mothers streaming it in the hopes of the clout trickling down.

Setting aside that the only marketing Highguard has received in a month is a tweet from The Game Awards account: why would anyone launch a live service game on a Monday? I can see why you would launch on a Thursday and definitely Friday but not Monday.

Huh, PEGI put up a rating for a new Life is Strange game. That's the second game they've leaked in a month (they leaked the Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake last month). They're historically very good about not jumping the gun so it's weird seeing them leap twice in 30 days.

And it looks like it'll feature the return of a very familiar face.

Not gonna lie, didn't expect to see "encoders overloaded" at the end of the last stream. Thankfully it was at the waffle at the end so no real harm done, but it's not a great sign. Hopefully that's something I can troubleshoot before tonight's stream.
