Maybe I just haven't been seeing it but I'm not sure the Wolverine team is getting enough credit for how incredible the visual fidelity and animations are! Props to the team!

there are loads of reasons why the death of physical is bad news, but I think there are downstream effects that the industry is already suffering from today - that are only going to get worse youtu.be/jGtv_lyaNww

why physical media is ESSENTIAL for a healthy games industry

Incrediblely well spoken and sobering thread. Definitely worth a read if you care at all about video games. Haley is great at what she does.

People asking how I expect this to affect our game stores, so I'll try to summarize: 1. There will always be demand for games at inclusive price points 2. This decision very much affects which things can fall into those price points, & may push more phys games into "collectible" territory (cont)

If you're curious what a non-preservationist gaming ecosystem looks like, you can look at the mobile stores, where most of the shit you remember does not exist in any form anymore.

4 years ago in the Telltale Games Alumni FB group, Michael Parsons was asking if anyone had advice for helping his 15 year old son Kane achieve his dreams of being a filmmaker. Turned out alright.

The Art Institute of Chicago really went insaneo mode with how much art they have on display. A truly staggering display of human creativity. So refreshing to see such an incredible institute packed with people. Loved hearing snippets of conversations discussion methodology and symbology.

The one major downside to seeing an incredible film is the long wait for the UHD Blu-Ray release... I'm looking at you, Project Hail Mary. At least I have the amazing soundtrack to tide me over for a while. Go see it! Great film to see in the theaters!

I didn't see any Powerhouse representation at Netflix House Dallas. 😩 No Castlevania, Tomb Raider, He-Man, nor Skull Island. And yet, there was this hilarious Tim Robinson neon sign.

have said this a lot and will continue to say it regularly: doomscrolling creates hopelessness which creates helplessness, actually getting out there volunteering or just connecting with neighbors gives confidence and hope and purpose. it is really as simple as that.

I love MinnMax and I love that they're talking about this. It's vital to hear from those seeing firsthand the atrocities committed by ICE and the current administration. A hard / scary listen but so important.

Now that Pluribus SE1 is over I'm going to miss it's vibes. I've been thinking a lot about it. I grew to really appreciate the deliberate slower pace and it's trust in the audience. There's so much to ponder on, and it gives space for the viewer to do so. Really great stuff.

Nothing super exciting here, but I've been LOVING my Steam Deck. It's become my go-to for indie and relaxing games. Been playing a lot more games that I otherwise would have missed out on. Definitely my favorite handheld. Sorry Switch 2....

The fact that a human being can infuse part of themselves into art and share it with others is a true gift. One of the first things humans did as an act of intelligence was to express themselves through art and we marvel at it to this day. In contrast, AI is devoid of humanity and is dumb as shit

FROM is really freaking good. Especially if you're a big LOST fan. It's seemingly very inspired by it since there are A LOT of similar story beats, situations and tonal elements at play. Finished up season 2 and I'm obsessed.

You're JOKING this was approved. The move of large corporations, particularly Nintendo, patenting obvious gameplay ideas that just happen to be executed via software is one of the greatest threats to game development and creativity. How is the USPTO approving these. (Claim breakdown below)
