Autumn feels like home. I worked so hard on this illustration 🤍

Digital illustration by The Ghost Egg of two ghosts decorating a tree and a log with string lights. There is a small wooden sign labeled “home”.

Quote reposting for more eyes. These games here? Fuck these games. Don't support generative AI slop. Doesn't matter how good it looks we need to have some damned standards. No exceptions. No 'but just this title'. None of them. Companies will ONLY listen if something impacts their bottom line.

Keighley's disinterest in excluding AI trailers really devalues the whole thing. These events are rarely to my taste, but the experience of watching "ONL" was one of watching slop. Even non-AI games are tainted by the association — we have to second-guess, every time.

Jesus, I didn't watch the Gamescom Opening Ceremonies, but it sounds like I dodged quite a lot of slop. What a miserable state of affairs. How about I do a thread of trailers for upcoming games that, to the best of my knowledge are slop free, for you all to watch instead?

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

Just like they resent having to pay people to make their products, executive shit-spigots resent having to sell those products to us. If you look at the trajectory of videogame monetization, so much of it has been about establishing a direct line to our wallets. Money for nothing.

Executives say unhinged things because they serve an unhinged system that promises impossibly unhinged results. You can’t propagate a fantasy as ridiculous as infinite profits and eternal company growth without your words eventually detaching from reality. Capitalism’s a mass delusion.

"One Billion Players a Day" isn't a business declaration, it's a bullet loaded into a gun aimed at everyone you *didn't* lay off today. It is setting an unattainable standard to justify further missed expectations.

there's a third reason: Netflix is designing shows for second screen viewing, which means that no one's actually trying to make the shows the focal point of the viewers' attention. That means the shows are generally not interesting enough for viewers to want more of.

The fact they did both of these so soon after each other really does signal how little this companies give a shit any more about our opinion, instead assuming that we’re either idiots or can simply force their will on us with arguments that shit like this was “inevitable”.
