No, not really. Reboots make more money. If new ideas outsold reboots, then we would see more of those. I’m fucking sick of it too, but here we are. There is still good content out there, but it will rarely be in the mainstream anymore.

Will be interesting to see the new “verification” methods that people come up with. AI won’t be good at “weird” things, like, I dunno, putting your shirt over your head and doing a jumping jack. At least until millions of those videos exist, then time for a new move? It’s not like people will just give up because this tech exists, we have the entirety of human history to tell us that much.

Death Stranding is one of my favorite games of all time that I will recommend to literally nobody.

Barbie was a money printer, they will keep doing that and it will keep working. And honestly the movie was great.
As much as it sucks I can’t imagine D&D was nearly as much of a money printer.

- Comment on 505 Games' parent company lays off 30% of its workforce, says gamers really only want sequels so that's what it's going to make 5 months ago:
Was always a big fan, but the steam deck has me playing a handful of new indie games every month, and it’s fucking awesome. So many little gems, so many unique ideas, for way less money, way less time invested, way less SERIOUS BUSINESS.

You many not agree, but he’s right. We are not most people. They want, and they have, that sweet “lowest common denominator” market, and they will take advantage of that until something else generates more cash. The “lowest common denominator” demand more CoD and whatnot. They don’t care if it’s bad, because them and all their friends will buy it and perhaps even have some fun. The big studios converging on raking in cash instead of creating interesting content is depressing, sure, but hardly surprising in a world where morals and ethics don’t matter, you can get away with the absolute most heinous, reprehensible acts, and suffer zero consequences.
- Comment on What are your go-to sources for game reviews and finding new games? 5 months ago:
I’ll be honest, I just look at the steam store page for the game. If the initial impression from the images is good, and it’s a genre I want to play right now, I watch one or two of the videos and read a few top reviews. Then I just go for it. I don’t watch streams or anything. I am usually perusing indie games so it’s at most like $20 on the line, not the end of the world if I hate it, or if it needs a few years of patches to feel worth playing.

It’s gotta suck being the director of the next MGS game knowing that everyone knows you aren’t Kojima.
- Comment on Alan Wake 2 - Launch Trailer 6 months ago:
It’s definitely worth a play, though even the remake does feel a bit dated in the gameplay department. The storytelling more than makes up for that though!
- Comment on COCOON - new game made by the former lead gameplay designer of LIMBO and INSIDE 6 months ago:
It’s pretty good, definitely nails the aesthetic, has a few “oooooh shit!” moments— super worth the $20 if you like puzzle games. It’s extremely linear, because it has to be when you think about it, so prepare to solve puzzle after puzzle until the game ends, with zero sense of exploration. Given the lack of exploration I don’t know if I would have liked it after more than the 5 or so hours it took to beat. None of this means that the game is BAD, it just might not be what you expect. Still absolutely recommend to those who enjoy puzzles n vibes
