It’s a bit fun to imagine that. People of the future playing a game that would be sci-fi to us, but really to them it’s like Oregon Trail.

By the time they launch, they’ll have a game with 8k textures and everyone else will be releasing games for Star Trek’s holodeck.

Konami id more about ruining everything they have the rights to, but I guess that makes them kind of complementary, yeah.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Konami’s AI project backfires, Yu-Gi-Oh! videos deleted over unauthorized use of popular actress’ voice⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Because of the nature of generative AI, anyone selling it is in the mindset of making money out of stuff they had no rights to.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Massive Gaming Crossover: Among Us Teams Up with Popular RPG⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
By that definition, it’s a massive crossover whenever McDonald’s does a pokémon happy meal. Thiese may be popular IPs, but that’s not like there are stuff like that all the time.

That’s a massive crossover?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
It may not be what that person meant, but, I kinda agree it might be a factor. The free experience has done nothing but become more and more terrible on youtube. The ads have become truly insufferable, and the UI is actively working against you. TV app in particular is borderline unwatchable.

I have always watched YouTube for free, and I am at a point where I am considering ditching the thing completely, because I am not paying another (quite expensive) subscription for it. I haven’t yet, but it has certainly slowed down how much I watch.

It’s so bad it’s even questioning some uses I had for the platform. I used to watch a video while I eat, stuff like that. What’s the point if I barely make it out of the initial ad tunnel just before dessert? And when I pause for just a minute to get something, I am immediately hit with another ad break as I resume?

Why are they even assuming someone would want to impersonate meta Zuckerberg?

Switch still have them. Of course now some publishers on Switch 2 are shitting on the very concept of cartridges by making empty carts that are just keys to download the game.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Miss England's AI round dangerous or progressive?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Reminds me of that time I tried to play a Monster Hunter game, specifically MH3 on the Wii.

I was like “what the fuck are those controls? How am I supposed to hit those remotely efficiently?”… To which people answered with the ridiculous crime against ergonomy called “the Claw Grip”. That was the last straw and I decided the game wasn’t for me.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Miss England's AI round dangerous or progressive?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I am guessing they mean “progressive” as in “including technical progress”, not progressive social views. And, no it’s not either. It’s just marketing the latest way to sell their image to advertisers.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Strange Urban Legend About Golden Axe And Death Row Inmates⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Golden Axe : The revenge of Death Adder stealing voice clips from Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a bit less crazy than the death row inmates urban legend, but, still, what the fuck were they doing.

Then again, there was also the mess of unlicenced copyrighted characters in Revenge of Shinobi.

It was really another time.

They tried to make this a thing once : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexplay

If Disney did this, they’d probably poison the birds so they die faster.

Average weight for a starling is less than 100g. The whole thing with head and feathers and bones and whatever. You’d have to be very hungry to hunt that. And I suspect if you shoot at it you’d pulverize it completely.

Though cats are going to be a problem.

If you take control of enough birdhouses you can launch DDoS attacks.

Do you need five starlings to sing a pentagram?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games have mastered "Both emotional extremes"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 became my favourite entry in the series because of how it still has light, silly moments, improbable vistas and absurd world building, but when it tries for dark, it hits hard (and to be honest it’s generally quite darker than the other games even from the beginning).

Previous episodes had their emotional moments, but nothing comes close to one particular scene in 3.

I have been pausing NMS for a few months. I think I’ll start playing again next week, a bit curious about this corvette thing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games that weren't...but could have been.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Beyond Good and Evil 2. And I mean the actual continuation of the story from 1, since, you know, the story had no conclusion and left the protagonists in deep shit.

I certainly don’t mean the absurd shit they presented long ago and never even realised. Because obviously what’s needed after 1 was “mostly multiplayer planer-sized open world prequel, probably mostly procedural content, and maybe you can enjoy it single-player too, who knows”.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking Down the Lawsuit Against OpenAI Over Teen's Suicide⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Holy shit, I thought it would just be another story of the assistant answering a “Tell me how to die” request (and it did, and it’s terrible enough), but there’s even worse.

The part where the kid says he’d want to be stopped and the assistant tells him he should hide better to make sure nobody can.

Make your own Donkey Kong figure with papier mâché or something and stick a tag on it. Boom, one of a kind amiibo!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 402 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Amiibos are a bit expensive. There are a few DK amiibos, they should all work with Smash because amiibos have a character identifier that’s recognized between games and amiibo series.

The ones from smash bros and super mario series should be around the “normal” price (for me it’s about 13-15 euros). Maybe you can find a second hand one for cheaper.

There’s a new one with DK and Pauline for Bananza, like other new amiibos it costs a bit more (around 18€ for me). It unlocks a costume in Bananza as an extra.

There’s also an old Skylander DK figure that doubles as an amiibo if I remember correctly. It’s kinda ugly and cheap-looking, and probably not easy to find, but who knows.

UK gets EU nothing, UK has left EU.

And the way their politics have gone to shit with mass surveillance and powerful lobbying from anti-LGBT groups, I prefer them not being represented in EU anymore.

I absolutely don’t care what happens to 4chan, but UK starting to sue the internet for being available there and not complying with their bullshit is worrying.

“Another fighting game character”, take a pick. At this point it could be Ryu, Ken, Terry Bogard or Kazuya Mishima.

And then you can throw Solid Snake, Pac-Man, Sonic, Mega Man, Simon Belmont, fucking Minecraft Steve and a Mii disguised as Sans from Undertale into the mix.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 402 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
My problem with Smash is I just can’t commit to one character and I’m just kind of bad at all of them. If anything, the most decent I get might be with the Links and Belmonts. I guess projectile jank is kind of my thing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 402 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Oh fuck, Hard DK has found his way to you too then :)

Streamer Alpharad got a “Hard DK” bit running since they got their ass handed over to them by a crazy Mario Party CPU DK that was just gambling like mad and winning everything.

They trained an incredibly good amiibo CPU DK in Smash they called Hard DK in reference to this.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Open Letter to Kickstarter Creators: Why We, Kickstarter United, Are Fighting for a Four-Day 32-Hour Workweek⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I see where they’re coming from but seems a bit weird to embark your customers so they back your very specific demand to your employer.

I mean, sure, unionize, fight to make your job better or at least prevent it from getting shittier. But what kind of weight do people who use Kickstarter have in company policy? The only power they have is just to stop using it, and the employees obviously don’t want that. They even had to mention “pretty please don’t boycott Kickstarter” right here in the end.
