one of the games I play (most of them really) has a AI addon epidemic and I hate it not just because no one discloses it abut also because they have a tendency to run way less efficiently than the human made ones (this is not about people using AI to bug hunt... don't like that but it makes sense)

morality aside if I was going to put an addon out in the world I would want people to either A. just not notice anything or B. wow this is way more stable than those other ones I tried, it is a point of pride, maybe this is a weak excuse but where is the pride in these AI shovel addons.

I am BEGGING game devs to stop forcing me to go to the main menu to close your fucking game, what fucking reason is there for this? having an option to exit to menu sure, but forcing it? WWWWWHHHHYYYY.

I think a lot of the issues I saw people have were because of how heavily reliant the game is on the new whip like grappling hook and it absolutely feels very Metroid but I fucking love it, comboing between enemies in the air.

Played a little more of the new Castlevania and FOR ME after I adjusted the difficulty a bit (I am not good at this genre but I love it anyway) it is awesome, I can see what bugs people (the legit people who don't just hate female characters) but am mostly unbothered by them myself.

it's amazing how many of the complaints about Castlevania Belmont's Curse are either A. ew a girl, or B. where are her tits and why not show skin? like to be clear there are real complaints to be made about the game but gah fucking loser trash.

I think the only thing worse than AI music in the space of music creation is that some of it can fool you now, I will be listening to something and it's decent... but something is tickling me the wrong way and sure enough AI "Assisted"

so it giveth and taketh, first it took and then I stripped off all my items and massively overburdened my pawn and was able to jump out due to very light weight bonuses.

in other news still rage quitting Dragons Dogma II because of how easy it is to soft lock... not even bugs, just an awful movement system, love the game with all my soul but getting softlocked because I of a tiny hill? fuck right off.

I was 15 when Bioware released Baldur's Gate... I actually missed it at the time... but I kept hearing how incredible it was, ironically my first real taste was Icewind Dale a game by Black Isle Studios in the same engine with the same rules after playing that I managed to get BG and fall in love.

also I am not going to lie, EA has been IMO sabataging BW for the better part of a decade... they pulled the plug on anything that did not immediately blow the market wide open, they allowed zero room to grow and I think a large part of that is them being fucking pussies about negative feedback.

now obviously I am missing a lot of information so it's possible I am wrong and there is more to that but from my perspective it felt like Bioware was fucked over.

Been a Bioware fan ever since (I'd probably be a Black Isle Studios fan still if they had survived) today is very sad, I did not love the last two games but they were still good games and entirely undeserving of the hate imo.

the thing with Tim Weeny would be less frustrating if he was wrong about his contributions to gaming, it just makes it all the worse that he has for the last like 10 years gotten increasingly brainrotted by tech. (he was always tech first mind you)

I feel like this dude would be good friends with Randy from the other site back in the day who ran that blocklist so many celebs used naively.

This post is unavailable.

so grouped with some people in a game and one of them was called d*usvult again and he was yelling shit about cleaning and in g*ds name and etc... I told the party leader I was uncomfortable with it. (the * is to prevent people from seeing it in labels/searches and harassing me)

and that I was going to block the user doing it and he said let me guess, you're american... you all make a big deal out of this, and at that point I blocked them both and left, did I over react?

I don't think I did, even before the right took over that phrase and used it the way they do it was already a pretty awful thing.

deleted part of that thread because I do not think I can capture the nuance here and I am far too ignorant of the specifics.

once again reminded that you can sexual assault your SO for years, get found out... get cancelled, vanish for a few years, come back with a new youtube channel and get millions of views.

so Far the Dark Arisen expansion for Dragons Dogma 2 is delightful, it is however much higher level than I had expected but I am making do.

I fucking despise when games use items that entirely undermine character growth to sell pre orders for a game, for example in the Dark Arisen expansion for Dragon's Dogma 2 if you pre ordered they give you an armor set that entirely bypasses the first tier of new armor in the expansion

worse still you can collect it on a new character right away giving you end game levels of power for the first part of the game at lvl1. it should have been a cosmetic if anything

I know there is a mod for it and when I am sure it's updated I will use it again but probably my least favorite thing about Dragons Dogma 2 is the fall protection, it almost never saves you and very frequently causes you to die or otherwise fail to jump off things.

it's interesting to use a version of google that filters out AI and the whole first page is often just the button to go to the second page, we really are intentionally killing knowledge of any kind.

One of the worst things in gaming is being excited about something and having no one to talk to about it.

so I swa a pair of smart glasses in a video today that have no camera or GenAI instead they just use a standard smart assistant to give you info in a HUD, how do we feel about this? I think it's both better than perv glasses but also kind of useless compared to just picking up your phone?

maaaaaan the new ace combat looks incredible but those games give me a pit in my stomach lol. (not from the flying, it's complicated)

how do we feel about low prices for expensive things at thift stores? I am super in favor of it if YOU are typically low income, but folks who go out and buy things marked WAY under their value and have means feels kind of scummy to me, is that weird?

for some reason I thought new Polyphia was today but it is today next month.

I literally mostly quit doing videos and streams because of how bored I sound and how hard it is to not sound well like me because to me at least it just isn't fun to watch.

I feel bad for people who sound like they want to be doing literally anything else while making youtube videos I know from personal experience it probably isn't the case, I have to try SOOO hard to not sound board because I am trying to focus on doing everything... but I can't watch it.

it really is incredible to talk to normies who refuse to learn even a tiny bit about what goes on behind the scenes in video games and then fly off the handle at even the slightest inconvenience.
