Oh my god it’s Xenoblade

Nice, ill give it a look over while cleaning out my adobe stuff

Me when I see i've been charged double of what i pay for adobe CC and come to find out I've been on a "discounted rate" FOR 10 YEARS...

Time to look for alternatives

Been a few days but I can confidently speak from the chest when I say

I do not care that the new mario kart game looks graphically similar to MK8, cuz that game still looks good as is tbh.

Thats true, hes also much wider too

-Squished/Chibi-like designs reminds me of the old Kotabe style art from super mario land/ super mario kart
-DK getting a redesign consistent to his movie look, maybe the new default from now on(?)
-possible look at 24 players in a race instead of 12

Good changes here but REALLY need to see more

Thank god we no longer have to keep waiting for this thing holy hell

Now to figure out what to do in the meantime before april 😅

I'm not proud of myself with this one

Me watching announcements of beloved franchise revivals and sequels

And me after seeing more CS/valorant/hero shooters

Alright. Geoff cooked this year
(And so did sega wtf)

Cant expect every year to be a banger but they did much better than the last few years overall, acknowledging industry pains was a nice but extremely important change and i think they did good (can do better of course)

Xbox has decided it no longer wants to be a box I guess lol

Maybe not the proudest accomplishment all things considered lol

So far Mario & Luigi: Brothership is really nice. But as much as i’m ok with some of the quality of life changes I cannot get over is instinctively pressing B for luigi in battle only to cancel an option.

Im fine with the other stuff but please god please change that back nintendo 😭

Damn I got on here early huh

Man, I seriously hope that Astro Bot does well sales-wise. That game looks so charming for it to not have success

oh damn thats really good to know ill mess with that

alright bluesky you need a much better mobile translation option than just going to the default browser come on now

I can actually see people trying to buy the game before it shuts down just for the meme and to watch it beat current active users lmao

two weeks

i don't know why

i bought concord with no microtransactions to buy

Damn, Concord got its cord cut huh?

So many live service flubs this year

Someone needs to beat the shit out of this Michael Soft guy

Microsoft made it clear that they need to bolster their software more and trying to compete on the hardware front isn't going to cut it, so their strategy needs to change in a meaningful way which seems necessary and understandable

Most of the debauchery is because of how writers and content creators value the Xbox brand. They are mad about how much THEY invested in the brand and how little they are getting in return (this aint the stock market but I understand the sentiment)

Saw some dude crying about it and they posted a pic of the receipt of them trading in their series X games only getting like 10-13 bucks a pop

These guys are getting their money's worth now LOL

Incredible seeing gaming writers/content creators and even the general enthusiasts go ape mode about Xbox's change of pace as a business as if they've been proud Wall Street investors who believed in the longevity of a stock or a fund, but nah it's just consumers losing their grip on reality lmao

Seems Like NCL (Nintendo Japan) is vice gripping tournament guidelines in Japan.

Considering the nature of esports or gambling-related laws this does not seem entirely surprising. However, the possible effects this could have on international tournaments does raise some concerns.

I suppose I should get used to posting here more often… but should I focus on games industry commentary or my graphic design is the question.

Unsure, Maybe both?
