ModdedInstall2

where do you see yourself in 5 years?

hmmm probably still waiting for GTA6

Dang, that's a good model!

Huh, didn't know that.

It's so rare that you ever get a game where something happens mid-game that drastically shakes up the way you play it, because everyone's so afraid to have an actual gameplay narrative, or afraid that if the player doesn't "beat the game" (another charged term) they've failed as a developer.

dear video game developers

thank you for making video games

please spread your releases out so all the cool games don't come out at once in october and november

Query successful A news article image for Minecraft: Java Edition showing several Minecraft characters and mobs grouped together on a bright green background. The characters include Steve (center, in blue shirt), Alex (holding a diamond sword), a Villager (farmer skin), an Enderman, a Bee, a Piglin, a Skeleton (with a bow), a Wolf, and a fish. Below the image, a headline reads: "REMOVING OBFUSCATION IN JAVA EDITION" with the subheading: "What this means for our modding community." The text below begins: "Do you like to mod java, tinker with builds, or take deep dives into Minecraft's code? Then this article is for you! For a long time, Java Edition has used obfuscation (hiding parts of the code)..."

Holy crap, this is HUGE. Mods with the heavily obfuscated codebase are already freaking insane - I can't wait to see what modders can do to Minecraft now.

🧠 here's how to limit your exposure:

I think I remember now! It was probably a really crummy unfinished Tron clone I wrote in Pygame. There's no remaining evidence it ever existed, but that was my first project.

Hmm... I don't remember off the top of my head.

I've been a "computer kid" my whole life. Eventually I started using Scratch after my teacher signed me up for it, and I was hooked. I made a ton of (crappy) games, and it just spiraled from there.

A thumbnail for Episode 2 of *Uma Musume: Pretty Derby* season 2, titled "Never Gonna Give It Up!", shows a close-up of the character Tokai Teio smiling happily. The episode description reads: "The Japanese Derby is over, and Tokai Teio's injuries have landed her in rehabilitation. She's determined to recover by the Kikkashou, the last race..." The date is Jan 11, 2021.

Did... did Umamusume just try to rickroll me?

The best part is, until my new USB adapter arrives Monday, I have to use the jack in my monitor - which for some reason, is filled with light static.

Just yanked my headphones on accident and now my headphone jack is broken - I've tried everything else and narrowed it down to a pin inside the jack snapped, because it's plugged in snug to my motherboard, and other jacks work just fine.

Fun times.

Today is our 17th anniversary! 🎉

A heartfelt thank you to our directors, reporters, and contributors for their support, and to all of you for sticking with us over the years!

As always, we're dedicated to keeping you updated on everything #Sonic the Hedgehog!

I do have to say this, though: @nightdivestudios.bsky.social - while I see nothing against locking a Switch version to 30 FPS, make sure the Switch 2 is at least 60. There's really no excuse on a game with this one's PC system requirements.

On the left, there is a physical game case mock-up for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, showing the box art featuring the menacing, glowing green face of SHODAN against a dark, circuit-like background. To the right, a simple graphic of a Nintendo Switch game cartridge is shown with the text "GAME CART INCLUDED" next to it. Below, various platform logos are displayed: Nightdive Studios, Atari, Steam, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch/Switch 2. The bottom of the image contains copyright and trademark information.

HOLY CRAP WHAT

A screenshot of a Reddit post on the r/fo4 (Fallout 4) subreddit. The post, from 4 years ago by user WhiteKnight413, is titled: "Do you think there will ever be an 'anniversary edition' Fallout 4?" A prominent comment by user TheUnspeakableHorror, also from 4 years ago, reads: "Maybe around 2025, for the 10th anniversary. I wouldn't expect any changes to the game, just a creation club bundle like they did with Skyrim."

Welp, this man's a prophet. #Fallout4

What the heck is that replay icon

A screenshot of a mobile game dialogue with the character Vodka from Uma Musume Pretty Derby. The conversation reads: Vodka: "A raffle?! This is bad, Trainer! Real bad..." Vodka: "My pops got hooked on the raffle and my mom yelled at him so much for it! She said it's a black hole that swallows people's lives..." Vodka: "But I just can't help myself! It's in my blood!" Vodka: "It's okay if I just do it once, right? Right?!" [Narration]: "We got a free ticket for the raffle with one of today's purchases, so I give Vodka a hesitant nod." Vodka: "Thanks, Trainer! I'm gettin' excited!" Vodka: "But you've gotta keep this a secret from my mom. Snitches get stitches, you know!"

Huh. A game whose entire business model is convincing you to gamble, warning against the dangers of gambling.

Amen.

A screenshot of a YouTube video player showing a landscape scene. The video content is a digitally painted, highly detailed illustration that serves as the visual for an epic orchestral cover of the Gummi Bears theme song. The scene depicts a large, gnarled, magical Gummi Bear tree-house in the center. A small, monkey-like creature wearing a crown and medieval-style armor stands on the edge of a stream in the foreground. The background features a vibrant forest, a small deer on the left, and stylized blue mountains under a crescent moon and a pink, cloudy sky. The YouTube user interface (UI) shows the video is playing. Search bar: At the top, the search bar contains the text "epic orchestral gummi bears theme". Video progress: The video is at the 0:35 mark out of a total duration of 14:29. A red progress bar indicates the current playback point, and the play/pause button is a vertical pause icon. Controls: The lower control bar includes: the play/pause button, volume control, current time/total time, settings gear icon, a small cinema mode button, and a full-screen button. Video title and channel: Below the player, the video title is "Gummi Bears Theme Song Epic Orchestral Cover (Of 14:30 Mins)" and the channel name is "Zen Monkey Music" with a "Subscribe" button next to it. Engagement: The video has 14 likes and 0 dislikes are shown. Comments: The comment section is not visible, but a small icon indicates it could be toggled.

Anyone else kind of... HATE the new YouTube video player?

These masterpieces

Panel 1: A girl with poofy dark brown hair, brown skin, and yellow beads holding the hair in a "space buns" hairstyle, is looking back at you while sitting in a computer chair in front of a drawing tablet. She wears a purple sweatshirt with a yellow "stitch" pattern going down the sleeves, and has apparently drawn a golden-armored knight standing on a cliff with billowing clouds and night stars in the background. She is labeled "illustrator" and says "It took me 10 hours to draw this!" Panel 2: Shen points at her with his right hand, a manically smug expression on his face and the other hand on his hip. He is labeled "comic artist" and says "HAH!! Just ONE drawing in 10 hours??" Panel 3: Shen continues speaking, pointing at himself with his thumb. He says "I'D have to get like TWENTY drawing done in that time." Panel 4: Behind the still-smug shen is a slouched, deformed, horrible beast of a man with a drawing tablet in one hand and the other hand holding the pen, and also strapped to a plank of wood for wrist stabilization. It wears only a ragged loin cloth. The neck is long and extends far forward, and the hair is wild, going in all directions. In the darkness of the face two small eyes glint. This creature is labeled "animator"
