  I can’t wait to see realistic everyone next to donald and goofy. Abandoning the art style for “vaguely realistic” is such a bonkers take in general, but especially for kingdom hearts. Maybe Disney pushed to have love action movies represented in 4???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fable - 30 Minute Gameplay Demo | Build An Extraordinary Life⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Loathe this and it’s not totally unusual. Kingdom Hearts of all things is transitioning to realistic aesthetic away from it’s original art style and I am SO CONFUSED. Donald and Goofy will look so out of place alongside realistic Sora. Either way, I’ll take a real, deliberately chosen art style over “realistic” for anything any day of the week

  I mean, also around that time they doubled down on supporting Israel’s genocide and, here in the US, mass surveilance by ICE. I know that’s equally if not more important for me personally

  Feels like the last chance. If they don’t push before gta6 comes out rockstar will have a MASSIVE cash reservoir to sit on and no worries about their biggest project being delayed, etc

  Looking this up, looks like there is a clip through a wall you can do to escape the soft lock, but this was back around release, so idk if it would have been found yet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 683 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked TP well enough, but it’ll always be polluted by a game ending bug I encountered. After teleporting something large into a cave to enable you to enter a dungeon, but before activating it, if you save in that cave, you’ll be trapped in that cave with an NPC preventing you from leaving, forever. This is towards the end of the game iirc. I eventually started over, but, that really killed the vibe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch: Zuckerberg’s superyacht arrives in Seattle just as Meta cuts 1,400 local jobs (video in body)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t strictly disagree, but it’s harder for Americans to properly protest when they may be killed or jailed for a peaceful protest vs, say, France, where farmers literally coated government buildings with shit and their non-militarized police just went “well of course, that’s their right!” Meanwhile, when German press went to the US to cover the George Floyd protests, police shot at them, even though they were well identified, cooperative members of the press.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Off topic, but you seem likely to have opinions: If I was looking for a device to read in/before bed (ideally not a backlit screen) that would be used for more than just text (comics, tabletop rpg pdf content that would contain tables and illustrations, etc), are there any obvious choices, or things to look for? I’m comfortable jailbreaking, or even performing minor hard mods, but I haven’t really shopped for an ereader before so I frankly have no idea what to look for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call of controversy? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 imagines a revived Korean war⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wat. SURELY the copyright for Sherlock Holmes expired ages ago. Wasn’t that part of the reason we got a bunch of movies and shows about Holmes a handful of years back?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Halo Campaign Evolved Report Claims Heavy Outsourcing and Major Gameplay Changes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except, let’s not forget, the original source code is lost and this would be, at best, based on an already flawed and inferior pc port

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is married⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay this is a take I can understand and respect. That being said, how can we observe unhinged posts, acknowledge them as such, and have a laugh about them, while making it clear that they are unacceptable? This feels a difficult tightrope to walk, given the context

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is married⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t want baffling, fucked up takes, then you don’t want green texts, go to a microblogging community. I feel like the entire point of being here is to see the insanity without engaging with or or condoning it.

  Am I so out of touch?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon struggles with OLED⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On most newer OLEDs, yes. Anon could be using a 20 year old monitor for all we know

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pragmata was so top secret, the man behind Hugh was too scared to talk about the moon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There was space to unpack the bad there. The gameplay was some of the most generic imaginable, coming as a sequel to one of the most original games of it’s generation, the plot was a mess, the characters are poorly written (spend the whole game hyping up two of them seeing each other for the first time since the original, then when it happens, there’s barely a conversation? What a strange choice), there wasn’t much to like.

  Like, it wasn’t merely “I loved the original and this didn’t meet those expectations” it was “this is not a good game”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of that Russian woman who subdued and bound a burgular to a chair, after which she fed him only dick pills and kept him as a sex toy for a week.

  I should risk breaking into Russian homes, I think

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pragmata was so top secret, the man behind Hugh was too scared to talk about the moon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a reference I don’t see nearly enough. Shame about neo twewy, though

  If you want more SM64 there’s a world of mods for it. SimpleFlips, a former speedrunner now more general lets play streamer has been supporting that community for years with events and it’s resulted in tools and mods some of which are incredible. Lots are just more of the same, but then you have examples like BAZR which turn the game into a roguelike deck builder, and it works really well. Highly recommend

  Is this… not AI slop?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a very specific goal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there’s a pair of such in Minnesota who share a single body with two heads. I vaguely remembered hearing they got married, but according to wikipedia… Only one of them got married. That must be an awkward sex life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pickmon to Pickmos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a natural state of the industry. For every big name series, you get a wave of [series]-likes. There are Mass Effect-likes and Call of Duty-likes and Disco Elysium-likes and Soulslikes and the list goes on and on.

  Nintendo has had a stranglehold on creature catcher games for decades and the fact that there’s slop is only news as it relates to the palworld lawsuit. We’ve already had temtem and casette beasts and many, many more, for years. This is an anomaly, like soulslike games getting the amount of media attention they did, not in that there are copycats, but that we’re paying attention to the copy cats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Game Pass for indie games: meet Indie Pass, a $6.99-a-month subscription launching with 70 titles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that payout is based on engagement is kind of disappointing. Was hoping this would be a good middle ground for indies putting out first games or trying to make names for themselves to get their feet in the door, but it sounds like that probably won’t be the case, and thus, I’m not sure what problem this subscription is trying to solve.

  That being said, it might be a fun way to ensure everyone in a group has a copy of a multiplayer game to run on a Friday night

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam On Linux Use Skyrocketed In March - More Than Double The macOS Gaming Marketshare⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  iirc, the steam survey data isn’t always well distributed, and so it isn’t the most reliable. Sometimes most of the surveyed are in China and the swings are more relevant to usage there, and then when the next survey comes out the shift is more based on demographic than broad trends. That being said, we will been seeing consistent growth on linux usage across the board for months so I don’t think this is a fluke

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fewer People Playing Fortnite Is Just One of Epic's Many Problems, Analysts Say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish cooptimus was better maintained. The “Online multiplayer: x-y players, LAN multiplayer: z-n players, combo multiplayer? Yes/no” is so simple and easy to execute and yet nowhere else does it.

  Idk if this is the case on modern console physical releases, but having these numbers on the box, and correctly represented, used to be a hard requirement for getting your game onto a platform. N64 games had it on the front of box. PS2 games in a set of details on the back. It’s such a nice quality of life informational feature that falls between the cracks on steam because of how tags are done.

  Yep. New set every Thursday
