i love how americans will remember every little minutiae about every state ever then say things like "toronto, canada"

whoever was the translator at Kaizoku fansubs and decided to not translate nakama, just look at your legacy...

Screenshot of headline: Microsoft gets tired of Microslop, bands the word on its Discord, then locks the server after backlash

Lmfao this is so fucking sad 😂😂😂

Every video game series is like "our demographic is aging, how can we bring in younger folks" and they try to copy live service shit when the actual answer is put something out once a year

So I played RE2 as a kid when it came out in 1998. In that highschool period I played -

RE1, RE3, REmake, Code Veronica, REmake, RE0, Outbreak 1 and 2 and RE4. That was a 9 year span from 96 to 05, and there are spinoffs like both Gun Survivor games I didn't include. That averages 1 a year.

this cures what ails me every time

Volume of releases matters

As a kid, of fucking course you're gonna be infinitely more invested in a series that releases games on time scales that you can actually wrap your head around

My cat laying stupidly

Found a weird bug on the floor

I do think it being a rare pokemon in the early game did make some sense, adds to the OMG factor when you find the mascot and can use it all game.

I do wonder if the charmander line was ever considered though or if they really wanted to try to keep the starters equal back then

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

Company: Were going to do [BAD THING] to some people.
Users: Uh... don't? We don't want you to do [BAD THING].
Company: No, see, we're only going to do [BAD THING] to 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 people.
Users: We don't want you to do [BAD THING] 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭.
Company: What aren't you getting? It'll only be some people we said.

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

when they port old rpgs to like steam and current consoles they always add shit like "4x speed" and "turn battles off" and like hell yeah bro I love this game I sure would love to play it less so I can move on to the next thing quickly, awesome!!

speedrun leaderboards sometimes require unbroken game audio and a lot of people think this is because of that one guy who got caught splicing via audio mismatch and we're all analyzing every run with a spectrogram

in reality it's because mods don't want to hear your fucking spotify playlist

Man, they really made a logo for every Pokémon.

Who would've thought that telling people they didn't need your console would kill your console

The Pokemon Red box art, which features Charmander, a red dragon with blue wings, casting a pensive glance westward.

The same image a second time, because that's how art works.

remember the pokemon red box art? this is what it looks like now. feel old yet?

Whats happening with Proud Nordics (beyond the announcement right after the base game came out)

It's funny how you can pinpoint the exact moment people stopped living in the real world.

this rabbit & steel update is crazy

IF YOU MAKE A BAD GAME, YOU'RE FIRED
IF YOU MAKE A GOOD GAME, YOU'RE FIRED
IF YOU MAKE A DEAD GAME, YOU'RE FIRED
IF YOU MAKE A PROFITABLE GAME, YOU'RE FIRED
IF YOU MAKE A SUCCESSFUL GAME, YOU'RE FIRED
IF YOU MAKE A CHEAP GAME
IF YOU MAKE A AAA GAME, YOU'RE FIRED

IF YOU MAKE NO GAMES, YOU'RE SONY

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

applying for jobs again

roguelikes are kinda like the service game of the indie/small scale gaming scene

- massively saturated market
- 99% can't compete with the production values of the top tier
- growing cohort of people inherently opposed to the idea of them
- if yours hits you win the lottery so people keep trying

I'm older than you so I can confirm that they came with a little book that had the tutorial in it and you read it on the way home

I would never repost a means to keep your ID safe and to give the middle finger to a company ran by the grandson of Mosley.

I would also never encourage you guys to spread the word of this method to fill Palantir's servers with Metaverse like avatars to do a bit of trolling (a lot of it) 😇

well what do you know mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/wheres-the...

video games give you amazing opportunities to do things you can never do in real life
