Naaaaah. They literally did the "press f to pay respects" thing again in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. You can literally just walk away from this one and continue the story though. And yeah, spoilers for MW4. I'm like 1 of maybe 3 people that play the campaign anyway.

WHAT?! Oh no...

Devastating news today. Richard “Levelord” Gray was such a great guy. Like many of our friends, I wish I could have hung out with him again. He was full of life, a gentle soul, and an excellent level designer. He was called “Levelord” for a reason.

... Still alive, at least physically, for now, I guess. This situation from a month ago has really done a number on me. On my trust in others. On a lot of things. Was and is far more than what I briefly mentioned about it a month prior. I'm so tired.

There are few games where I will read every lore document I find throughout the environment. Control was one of them. Control Resonant is now another.

People will still loudly cheer him on, so it doesn't seem to matter much how much he shits on them or where they live.

I apologize for slacking on the website lately. My mind has obviously been elsewhere if you read any of my previous messages here. It's taken a heavy mental toll on me. A very heavy toll.

There's no feeling quite like having someone you've been romantically interested in ghost you for over a week after three months of deep, daily conversations... Only to see a video posted a week ago of some wannabe street racer grabbing her inner thigh with the caption "JUST HOLD YOUR GIRL" 😑🔫

And this is why I've kept my heart and soul closed for years. I couldn't handle the heartache again... yet here we are. Guess I'm going right back to that now.

Given that Ohio is a southern state in all but location, this will probably help Husted rather than harm him.

EXCLUSIVE: A top staffer to Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) appeared to wear an SS uniform while marching near Nazi flags in photos. He also created a public Spotify playlist called “Tales From Rhodesia," the White-run African colony embraced by white supremacists. Gift link: wapo.st/4xkuEa0

Then there are people like this clown with "exclusive" news about how an unreleased game has "flopped." That's certainly one way to interpret what Schreier said... I guess?

I have whiplash from seeing the near total 180 from people from yesterday to today when it comes to that IGN review score for Wolverine. From mass outrage against IGN to near praise for their "accurate" score. Once other outlets had the same complaints and similar scores, the tune suddenly changed.

This is wonderful and all, but with how Keighley ditched the Future Class thing from The Game Awards, I wouldn't be surprised to see Keighley wash his hands of this sooner rather than later. kotaku.com/game-awards-...

The Blood of Dawnwalker has really pulled me in. I'm really, really digging the setting, narrative, and music. There's some not so great things here and there (30FPS cutscenes & oversharpening fixed by mods already; stick input jank), but nothing that's going to stop me from continuing to play more.

Press email for a Project Hail Mary mixed reality experience... You know, I don't think they wanted to include the thumbs down 👎emoji for these points.

Seeing those user uploaded comparisons of DLSS5 off vs on and yeah, that all still looks like dogshit 95% of the time. Who could have ever seen that coming besides literally everyone? The last 5% still has issues with destroying color and shadows in the scene. Also they did the #hirefans thing 🤣

It was hard enough losing Dolly yesterday. ☹️ And now, we cry a sea of black tears for our very own Doviculus: The irreplaceable Tim Curry.  May these beloved legends rest well, as we carry their spirit forward~   🩷🖤

An 86MB update needing upwards of 20 minutes to update because of Unreal Engine's absolute GARBAGE patching system. Have I said lately how much I hate Unreal Engine? Because man, I sure hate Unreal Engine.

Since my internet was down literally the entire day until 40 minutes ago, I had plenty of time to finish The Sinking City 2. I really liked this. There were some absolutely brutal sections though. I still HIGHLY recommend this one. Just understand it plays a lot different from the first game.

Top priority should have been to work on Horizon 3 after the second mainline game shipped and THEN do this "smaller" side project after that shipped. Absolute buffoonery from Sony management for years now.

As I've reported in the past, almost all of Guerrilla Games has been working on Horizon Hunters Gathering for the last few years, and the next mainline single-player Horizon game is still far, far away.

On a whim, I installed The Sinking City 2 tonight. Don't sleep on this one. It's part Resident Evil remasters and part Dead Space, and obviously part Lovecraft. Started it tonight and next thing I know 3 hours have flown by. Really, really enjoyable so far.

Ocarina of Time Remake Will Officially Be Unplayable for BILLIONS At Launch ... Those whom have passed away throughout the course of human history are just SOL.

This is one of the worst clickbait headlines I’ve ever seen. The answer, in case you’re wondering, is that, because it is only on Switch 2, OG Switch owners can’t play it
