Finally saw One Battle After Another - fucking amazing, great visual antidote to movies shot on a soundstage.

A lot of the themes are making me think of 1967's Reflections in a Golden Eye.

If you liked One Battle, give it a watch! It's the first movie that made me understand Brando's true skill.

Game ruuuuules.

YouTube video by Inside Games Black Ops 7 Devs Give up, Make Campaign Skippable - Inside Games Roundup

You can now play Endgame in Black Ops 7 without finishing the campaign.

Awfully bold to give players the option of skipping playing the game they bought...

All this cutting commentary and more on this week's Inside Game Roundup!

YouTube video by Inside Games Steam Machine Will Cost MORE Than $500 - Inside Games Daily

I was hoping Valve would somehow hit $500 for the Steam Machine but it seems like that's not going to happen 😞

Now the scarier question - how expensive is it going to get?

So like... something else dropping the bombs?

COD BLOP SLOP FLOP

Black Ops 7 launched to some extremely bad player numbers on Steam.

Is it anti AI sentiment or... is the game just bad?

YouTube video by Inside Games Black Ops 7 Is Full of AI Slop – Inside Games Roundup

CoD Black Ops 7 seems to be packed with AI art.

I just finished the campaign and it's such an absurd mashup of game content that AI doesn't seem out of place.

Oh also - it was from a stream 2 months ago that's not even publicly visible.

YouTube just gave me a warning for watching sexual content that isn't allowed on YouTube.

It was for watching a movie trailer on YouTube.

YouTube video by Inside Games Valve's Steam Machine Beats Xbox to Market - Inside Games Daily

We talk over all the info and specs of Valve's hardware announcements on today's Inside Games.

Price is such a fascinating factor. Valve COULD subsidize this hard and maybe rattle PlayStation someday.

Eatin' beans and readin' memes

Bout to play a lot of Lumines Arise and get some deep thoughts. Deep thinking zone here, deep thinks only - lawdogg.tv

And here's me mining away at a block of mineralized garlic powder with a butter knife

[depressed] Welcome to Target, I love you.

I met 5 new best friends tonight, all dressed as Sonic.

My favorite was a Shadow the Hedgehog that pointed at me and said "You're a Big Sonic."

I told him he knows where to find me once he becomes a Big Shadow.

I, an adult man dressed as Sonic the Hedgehog, just gave candy to a child dressed as Sonic the Hedgehog.

Immortals of Aveum sure was good.

YouTube video by Inside Games Xbox is Corpo Greed From Now On - Inside Games

Ahh so Bloomberg has a piece today claiming that they're the first to report Xbox is aiming for a 30% profit margin?

Inside Games is the only gaming news show brave enough to have reported that over a year ago.

I can't handle it anymore. No discourse for me.

Day 2 of trying to think my pee into different colors is a bust but I have time.

YouTube video by Inside Games Battlefield 6 Is the Fastest Selling Ever - Inside Games Roundup

Me and @sirlarr.bsky.social talked about the week in gaming news including Battlefield 6 doing crazy numbers, some senators not being happy about Saudi Arabia buying EA and more: youtu.be/yrSoC2OXDXA?...

Ahh gotcha. Well it can run Doom: The Dark Ages at 1080p60 so I'd guess Indy is just fine. I haven't tested Blackmyth myself but I'd wager it's playable with resolution scaling and some graphics options trimmed.

Not sure what you mean by cutoffs but most games hit 1080p 60fps with a dash of resolution scaling. Warframe would get between 90-120FPS.

I think it'll get there! Eventually...

I just can't believe you'd say that about my brand.

YouTube video by Inside Games The Xbox Handheld is Awkward and Awesome - Inside Games Review

The ROG Xbox Ally X is a fascinating device - great hardware, but that software needs a LOT of work before it approaches console ease of use.

Bruce and I cover all aspects of this unique handheld on Inside Games: www.youtube.com/watch?v=awRv...

This seems to be a trend? Namely, spin-off studios founded by ex-triple-A developers losing funding before shipping anything.
