I think Bethesda doesn’t crunch anymore.

Fantastic news for the devs!

Shout out to Louis Pasteur.
- Comment on Diablo 4 Vessel Of Hatred gets October release date plus trailer which I refuse to watch because it sounds horrid 6 months ago:
Yeah, that trailer was brutal. I was impressed, it’s definitely the most gnarly thing to come from Blizzard in a long time.

Does it require a PSN account to use the adaptor?
- Comment on Game Pass’s “only (outside) shot” for sustainability is to get GTA 6 or Call of Duty, says former Microsoft senior PR lead 7 months ago:
They made an agreement to not have CoD as a Gamepass exclusive as a part of their acquisition.
(Although I wouldn’t be surprised for them to reneg on that.)
- Comment on Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together? 7 months ago:
They do. There are plenty of indie Devs.
The reason why everyone doesn’t do it is because it requires significant capital to be able to support a dev team through production for a number of years.
Not to mention they will still have to deal with publishers potentially fucking them over, as shown with the Helldivers 2 PSN fiasco.
- Comment on Dpad vs analog stick 7 months ago:
Usually analog sticks, but it depends on the game. Something like shovel knight is better with the dpad.
I just happen to play more games that are better with analog sticks.
- Comment on Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheld 7 months ago:
Well you have to consider it’s 7 years old. It was incredible in 2016.

Probably the first haha, it’s the name of the finale episode of the first season and it’s even mentioned in the Wikipedia article I linked.

Bicameral Mentality: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicameral_mentality
It’s a concept that is quite well explored by the first season of Westworld.

Well that makes sense, by anus isn’t blue at all.
- Comment on The beautiful dissociation of the Japanese language 7 months ago:
Incredibly interesting article. Thanks for posting.
Might be a little hard to parse for someone without an understanding of Japanese, but it’s very insightful into the history of the written language and all the idiosyncrasies that have arisen due to the way it evolved in written form.

Balatro, the Joker Poker has me deep in it’s clutches.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Journey 8 months ago:
Love it.
Such an incredible gaming experience with absolutely no words.
I also love Abzū, which is kind of like a sequel to it, but also not really.
I did try and get my girlfriend (non-gamer) to play Journey and she did not enjoy it at all, which made me realise a large part of why I love it is that it doesn’t hold your hand, and it assumes you are adept at gaming in some way.
- Comment on kingdom come: deliverance II reveal 8 months ago:
Looks pretty cool. Hope it lives up to the original and is successful for the studio.
- Comment on What is your most watched movie, and how many times did you watch it? 8 months ago:
One of the Ghibli movies definitely, probably Princess Mononoke, Porco Rosso or Nausicaa.
Absolutely loved them growing up, when I was a kid I taped them from TV and made my own little box set of bootleg VHS Ghibli collection.
- Comment on Anyone else addicted to Balatro right now? 8 months ago:
Love when that mult mults.
- Comment on Anyone else addicted to Balatro right now? 8 months ago:
It’s crazy how I feel like I barely notice the music when playing but it just pops into my head throughout the day.
I had to play on mute the other day when my headphones died and it was like a completely different game with out the background music and the dings to give me that dopamine rush.

- Comment on FTC offers $25,000 prize for detecting AI-enabled voice cloning 11 months ago:
It’s naive to think AI is going to disrupt the status quo from the rich. It’s just going to make the rich richer. Just look at who owns the AI.
