Happy birthday RDR2. 🤠 This screenshot always blows my mind, native 4K straight off the Xbox, no editing, in 2018. Bonkers.

Wildwood was exceptional. I am in awe of what that team is able to make happen on-screen. Feels like you're watching magic unfold, but it's the result of immense human artistry and talent.

*Maybe* Xbox and PS are actually targeting 2028 for consoles because they're projecting some price normalisation for ram/storage/chips by then?

'Sword of the Sea' got a Xbox storepage. Seems like Fictions is publishing it instead of Giant Squid. A few months ago a rumor floated around that Sony acquired the IP (simliar situation with Kena, so probably nothing). www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...

I saw Wildwood with my GF tonight. This film is a masterpiece. It's by far Laika's best film. It's a cinematic achievement. It shows you in the era of AI, nothing will ever top human creativity and passion. Support these kind of movies. This is a game changer for stop-motion animation.

I’m okay with this rhetoric. Is it the full truth? Not imo. But neither was 20c rhetoric about masterpieces and great books. That, too, undervalued the collective part of thought. But if someone is speaking passionately in a way that motivates people to read and think, I’ll take the win.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Hi, everyone! I'm still working hard on the Katana ZERO DLC. We made it bigger. It's the size of a full sequel, plus a soundtrack of over 30+ new songs. More updates to come. Thanks for your continued support!

PlayStation has had some howlers on the custom controller front this gen, but this one might take the cake lol. Awful.

In 2016, we published potentially the largest single feature to ever appear in Game Informer magazine with a full oral history of the legendary studio, BioWare. We've made that feature available online following reports of the studio's impending closure. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

Instagram not letting you sort a search or hashtag by "newest" is the dumbest shit. Man these platforms suck ass.

Next Fest was already a bit of a pointless exercise for 90% of devs. Now the AI slop has made it entirely pointless for 99% of devs I don’t really know what Valve can do about this, but I think it’s fair to say that we pay them well enough, that it would be nice if they’d bloody do *something*

100% agree.

This one is free. Hey FriendSlop game makers, I think having your shit run on Mac could be a solid investment. I know having/supporting a Mac build is a PITA (that we quickly abandoned, YAY) - but this seems like a market that could convert quite easily to coopetitive tomfoolery.

Pleased to report that the new game Final Fantasy Resonance is *tremendous*, a must-play for anyone who loves the SNES Final Fantasy games and hopefully the beginning of a new Square strategy to produce both 3D and 2D games moving forward.

That Fortune Xbox piece is very strangely written. The author got office time with Sharma and and then didn't really seem to ask her anything? I know more about Sharma's office and the time of year in Seattle from the article than anything she said or was questioned about.

genAI boosters are always like “you think you’re better than me because you drew a picture? You think you’re better than me because you read a book?” and it’s like, well, no, but you seem very unhappy

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

One widely loathed, ketamine-addicted, white-supremacist billionaire can single-handedly keep a failing political party afloat, through the brute force of money. Excellent system we've set up here.

wired.comElon Musk Is Almost Single-Handedly Funding the Republican Midterms PushElon Musk has assembled a presidential-level field operation this midterm cycle, underscoring the extent to which he has taken over the get-out-the-vote effort for the Republican party.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Penguin Colony is a vital work of confrontational art. A game that reclaims Lovecraft’s words and turns them against his own beliefs. If it looks like a gag game (cosmic horror March of the Penguins) from the outside, know that it very, very much is not. My review. www.polygon.com/penguin-colo...

Tesla is only alive because of it stock valuation. Every year Elon Musk comes up with some new PT Barnum bullshit to goose the stock. But it’s not real. This is the latest.

this is easy: flying cars have never been cool and a fixation on them is an indication of being a mark akin to a Disney Adult but for science fiction horseshit

Alright, alright. We're DOING it. CULT OF THE LAMB comes to NINTENDO SWITCH 2 on OCTOBER 22ND! Cultists that already own COTL on Switch 1 will be able to upgrade for FREE, while those that don't will simply have to pay the price. That price being the same amount as the Switch 1 version. 🙏 the 🐑

Keep thinking about a post I saw that said something like, "The best way to understand your political opponents is to sit down at a table with them and have a conversation." Yeah I did that and here's what I understand now: they swallow and regurgitate propaganda 24/7 and live in another dimension.

seems plausible that in the short term, people are not going to use a janky Adobe clone en masse in a way that fundamentally alters things. But people using AI KoolAid-manning into open source hobby coding communities and destroying them — I think that's already happened and going to get worse

Fair play and walking the (big) walk is important! Will support the team on Switch 💪

As well as this, atproto concepts such as DID and PDS are uniquely well-suited to supporting agents, it's a much better future than what big tech is trying to push us into.

it means people’s Muse, Dots, OpenClaws, and other AI assistants are eventually going to be interacting a lot online, and I’d rather see them do it on open protocols with user owned identities rather than in a corporate consortium.

Meanwhile Open AI compromised Australian's medical infrastructure and got off with a "gee whiz sorry about that". Shit's fucked.
