You ever think about how Sony created cheaper disc drive-less PS5s, then claim that sales of physical disc-based games are going down? Like yeah you manufactured that shit, this was the plan the whole time.

You have been visited by the Good-Fortune Unicorn and will receive eight years of good luck.

Spent about 5 hours trying to get FFVII Rebirth to run on PC without stutters, all kinds of mods and variations. No luck at all, every time I think I've sorted it something else breaks. Doesn't bode well for Revelation, as I was planning on playing that on PC too... god I hate PC gaming

Replaying FFVII Remake has been an absolute blast, though I genuinely forgot all the improvements Rebirth brought. Excited to get stuck into it next, hoping to do a relatively complete run through it before Revelation is out.

In I think Year 11 we had the vice principal come in to do a sex ed assembly in my highly religious school. His opener was to shout "WANKERS!" and point at us all before telling us how sinful we were. Truly nothing of educational value was said on that day.

It's really worth building up a nice physical media collection with your favourite movies and shows, because for the prices these streaming services are charging their selections are abysmal, and have such a dearth of classic media.

Thoroughly unimpressed with that OoT remake. I see what they're going for but I don't know man. It looks so overly polished to the point of losing its identity. I've never really liked OoT that much though... I'll probably give this remake a try eventually.

I usually do a yearly Sonic game replay, mainly the classic trio + Mania, but I think this year I'm going to do the ones I find most fun. I'm thinkin' Sonic 2 Heroes mod, Adventure, Adventure 2, Advance 2, and (controversially) 06? If I had time I'd do Heroes, The Black Knight and Unleashed too.

Just beat Absolum and it's easily one of the best games I've played this year. I actually picked it up at launch but ended up taking a break from it due to other stuff coming out, but that honestly did the game a disservice - it deserves your full attention.

The LotR War in the North remaster is a little rough around the edges but the game is so immediately fun and compelling, I can't fault it at all personally. It reminds me of what I thought Golden Axe would one day become when I was a child.

Saber finally added the AI disclosure to Steam for Rideshare “Stimulator” and it’s even worse than I said it was. I can see why the CEO crashed out when I pointed it out.
Al Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses Al

Generated Content like this:
The main Campaign story, characters, and dialogue are written by a team of human writers. Al tools are used for voice generation and some localization.

The optional Free Ride mode includes Al-generated passenger missions and localized dialogue. Free Ride mode is separate from the main Campaign and can be skipped by players who prefer to experience only human-written narrative content.

The game also includes a mix of radio stations featuring human-made music and Al-generated music. Stations containing Al-generated music are clearly labeled as such in the game.
