The new Switch Sports Resort definitely has me intrigued. Wii Sports Resort remains an all time favourite for me. It's got me wondering if the motion control accuracy is on par or better in Switch Sports Resort? If it is then consider me sold!

Instagram is a hell of a platform. I'm in disbelieve at the amount of positive comments centered around RDJ's Specs post. All I see is version 2.0 of Meta's pervert glasses, but the comments would make you believe that this is the second coming of Christ πŸ˜‘

It's so damn dire out there. Support your favourite indies, your dedication actually helps them unlike whatever this AAA loop is

EA and similar sized corporations only care about profit, which is ironic when they gut and fire entire creative teams who made them successful in the first place. Corporate greed is a sickness that needs to be wiped out.

The BioWare news is heartbreaking and infuriating in equal measure. That teams games pioneered choice-based storytelling in a way that fundamentally shaped games as we know them. It deserved that one last shot at Mass Effect. Such a shame.

Never been a more moral time to be buying indie games instead of the Big Boys. It's like getting your coffee from the locally owned cafe on the high street instead of a massive bucket of watered down piss slurry from EvilCoffeeCorp that burns down the rainforest. Buy indie, they have your back.

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I've been a motion designer for 20 years and Claude's new motion tool definitely has me concerned. Not because it can replace my skillset, but because there are unfortunately clients out there that will see it as an opportunity to cheaply replace genuinely talented people.

Rewatching Seananners and Mr Sark YouTube videos feels like nostalgic therapy. Such an hilarious yet cozy vibe due to their chemistry as friends.

My urge to make physical products is the highest it's ever been... Probably because every other post I see on Instagram is some form of AI bullshit 🫠

A motion designer I follow on Instagram recently posted how they allowed the latest ChatGPT model to have full access to their computer so it could be prompted to do their work for them. This is insane to me, as they are trusting all their private data to Open AI... who are ethically bankrupt!!

Games currently on my radar include Onimusha, Control Resonant, Ace Combat 8 and Fire Emblem: Fortunes Weave πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… Not to mention the OoT Remake 🫠

Why does the PS Store treat downloading demos like a purchase? I tried out the Onimusha demo and got treated to a "Thank you for your purchase" email for Β£0. Surely there's a better way to handle demo downloads Sony πŸ₯΄

Billionaire scumbags say "Be afraid of the thing we unleashed and don't regulate" and in the same breath say "But of course, you still need to trust us because we are the good guys".

Are people that dumb? Are they really falling for this? "We're the only ones who can save you from our terrible creation, so please keep sending us money"

I feel sorry for anyone using Gen AI as a method of film making. Some of the best times and experiences in my life have come from filming shorts with friends and learning as a go. Legitimately so much fun and so damn rewarding πŸ™Œ

I feel like the core reason why GTA 6 doesn't interest me (apart from Rockstar's upper management and digital only) is that it's an exaggerated version of some of the worst parts of Trump's America which I don't want to be reminded of. I just wanna chill and play Super Monkey Ball 2 πŸ˜„

I rarely reorder games nowadays, but after I showed my wife the Ocarina of Time trailer it was a forgone conclusion πŸ˜† I'm hyped because of the insane nostalgia, and she's hyped to experience this adventure for the first time πŸ™Œ

OoT is definitely one of those "It looks better in motion" kinda games, but overall I was fairly impressed. I'll be playing the fishing mini game like it's the main quest πŸ˜†

one of my favorite things about AI discourse is how the pro-AI losers will sneer "You are simply a luddite who fears technological innovation" but then every single person I've spoken to who actually works in the tech industry fucking LOATHES it & is praying for its downfall

I think the preservation of knowledge is going to be vital for a future where the flow of mass information is controlled and dictated by mega corporations and billionaires. Protect your libraries and museums at all costs.

It's crazy to me how some companies are embracing Gen AI in their advertising. Authenticity matters, and all Gen AI does is erode that away to nothing. Mr Q, Secret Escapes, Trivago, Gtech etc are now brands I simply will never trust.

Whatever you think of the new GTA, one of the best things you can do is support the people who made it. Consider chipping something towards the former Rockstar workers to help towards their legal funds. You might get a lovely hand-written note out of it πŸ‘€ iwgb.org.uk/en/post/dont...

Getting lateral release surgery is a hell of a thing. 4 days post op and moving anywhere is a challenge 🫠 I think I was a little too optimistic about the recovery time πŸ₯Ή

"I can ask the AI to give me 75 different variations in three seconds" sure, at the expense of the artists whose works were scraped without permission, and at the expense of the health of our fucking planet. Selfish behavior.
