I'm really interested in seeing how sales will be impacted for the ~300 titles that got pushed to the August-October months to avoid GTA. I have to imagine competing with so many other games is gonna hurt more than competing with *just* GTA, but still interesting to see how it will shake out

Yaknow, Final Fantasy 6 has a lot more enemies/bosses weak to at least one debilitating status effect than I remember. Feels like a lot more than most Final Fantasies, but I wonder if I'm just remembering wrong. Feels good to be able to use the status effects in boss fights

AI: -Is damaging poor and marginalized communities with data centres -Is making your computers and games more expensive -Is causing mass layoffs -Is forcing slop into work pipelines when it makes the process worse -Is increasingly hated by the public Execs: “…you know, i stick my dick in it”

So the Gabecube, steam machine, whatever you wanna call it, is over 1k USD base price without even a controller. This is yet another reason why generative AI datacenters need to be hated with a passion that makes religious zealots look tame. God I fucking hate gen ai

Also they keep shouting about how Evie's face is literally a child's. Apparently 30 years old is a child because that's the age of her mo-cap model.

So I've noticed the exact same people who were shouting about how Eve's design in Stellar Blade was problematic are now shouting that Evie's design in Stellar Blade 2 is problematic and are using Eve as a comparison for what it should have been. Do they even realize how stupid they look?

So I've been a fan of RGG's games for a while but like... the Tupac stuff is incredibly off putting. It was incredibly off putting in 2012 with the Coachella hologram and it's still incredibly off putting to have someone puppeteering a dead man. I can't go to bat for this shit man.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Also it ignores the fact that there isn't a company that exists, not even one as large as Disney, with enough in house assets to fully train generative AI on their own assets alone. ALL generative AI steals from others in order to train the machine.

Just saw the new Pokemon A-Z trailer. Why does Palworld without guns look so visually unappealing? Didn't they get an extra year of dev time?

ALRIGHT! Monster Hunter Wilds has added hitstop back into the game! Nice! Really helps those big hits have impact. Glad to see it.

So I tried out the Dynasty Warriors Origins demo. It honestly doesn't feel that good to play. It feels like a clunky character action game instead of a good Dynasty Warriors game. Also, you don't get to play as the historic characters, instead forced to a random protagonist. That sucks.
