Sega has betrayed their loyal fans. His name was "Sonic" and now in an act of spite, he's been renamed to "McLaren Racing". They've officially gone too fucking far. I will no longer be buying products in the "McLaren Racing The Hedgegog" series.

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

AI is their god because it lets them play as creatives, who can finally bring their oh so brilliant ideas to light without pesky matters of talent or creativity getting in the way. The rejection of it and their vapid, empty ideas must eat away at them every single second of their miserable lives-

Pride @ Deciding What’s Next @primas99.bsky.social · 23h

Never knowing the invigorating feeling of debate as two fans discuss a story, and what could have gone into decisions both praised and contentious. To people like Nikita, art is something to be "solved" so people will worship them. Art is something that they don't want to put any effort in.

Pride @ Deciding What’s Next @primas99.bsky.social · 23h

People like Nikita can't conceive of anything beyond the surface level reflection in their mirror. Fundamentally incurious and indeed hateful of anyone who dares remind them that other people have their own feelings and perspectives. Never knowing the joy of gushing about a story or character.

So much of Silicon Valley and therefore also genAI boosterism is motivated, on a deep and fundamental level, by petty resentment that other people are allowed to exist.

I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

At this point Vibe coding is less of a moral issue about stolen code or ethicality when it comes to generative AI and more a problem of "how long until the project is abandoned because no one knows how to fix it?" literally why get invested at all, it'll be abandoned when the attention leaves

No matter what AI does, they'll never be able to shake the problem that the people that prompt shit into it are the most uncreative motherfuckers you'll ever meet. Actual creative people actually enjoy the *process* of learning and growing, even if they never shut up about how much they hate it.

Not only that but the courts already ruled that anything using AI can never be given/granted copyright since a machine did 99.9% of the work. It's the same principle if an animal takes a photo/video of themselves. Also remember a movie that used Generative AI got bulled out of theaters.

It seems that dynamic pricing is starting to go to more industries, McDonals started this in their physical branches and now PlayStation. So this is a reminder that it's all possible thanks to the surveillance adtech business model, and this should be illegal. www.techradar.com/gaming/ps5/i...

techradar.com

Sony was caught testing dynamic pricing again on PS5 — yet again proving why digital-only games are a terrible thing for gamers

Sony just gave us yet another reason to hate its digital-only strategy in the form of dynamic pricing.
