Great report from @jacksonwryan.com about this mess. To show you all how frustrating this has been -- ClickOut Media's GamesHub still lists me as an active "Games & Tech Editor", and I'm placed alongside their fake AI 'writers'. I've asked them to stop, but these sites are desperate for credibility.

Fanart of Hulkenberg from Metaphor Re:Fantazio. It's a waist-up character portrait. She is delicately holding her spear and facing left looking past it. The piece is bright and colourful with a bright cyan and dark grey background. Hulkenberg is cel-shaded with black.

Tonight at 6pm PT me and @isaiahsmith.dev will be live on @minnmax.com (Twitch.tv/MinnMaxShow) playing RE9 via GeForce Now!

We are picking up where Leo left off today, like a relay race.

Excited to do this esp. with Isaiah who is a completely fresh set of eyes on the game.

SOME GENERAL TIPS FOR STEAM GAME DEMOS
(from someone who has played so many of them)

Note: These tips also apply to games in general! They're good tips!

Lowkey the first half of RE9 is Luigi’s Mansion if it was scary af. I will not be explaining further.

is this bc it was so good that everything else sucks or because it was fatigue off the one thing

There is so much more to the menu of video games than quality alone. Sometimes you just want a specific flavor. The best soda is Coke but you ever drink a Manzanita Sol just to feel something? I have.

I have more ideas than time but I'd love to/hope to write a little blog post about this. I also feel like this is reserved for specific genres. When I play a basic platformer people aren't saying "why play this when I could play Astro Bot or Celeste?"

Sure! I enjoyed it. I also think (and this isn’t a slight to you bc I’ve heard this a lot) the β€œwhy play this when there are so many better games in the genre” thing is a little silly. Having to consume all the best and then β€œworking your way down” is a wildly restrictive way to live

Edwin’s Journal: Are the Lakers cooked? After a mediocre homestand, even the most optimistic Lakers have reasons to be out on this team.

Come for my takes on the Lakers stay for the Lovie Smith quote from over 20 years ago.

We made badge ribbons for GDC, and you know they're going to be good when the company calls and says "did you do this on purpose?"

Anyway, find our attending Horses for a serious, professional ribbon.

I will never understand selling out AND not even getting a bag. Selling out for under minimum wage is crazy.

Calling it now I better not see any of you taking AI prompt/AI editor jobs. Don’t tell me you got bills to pay because games media pays so low you can definitely get a job that pays the same or more doing something else.

I've never worked with ClickOut Media, and YET I've still been personally affected by their reckless 'journalism.' I'm considering options now, but I can say that my old work been messed with on a site that COM acquired last year, and that I've been recently exposed to legal issues because of them.
