feel like Puccini is probably the most gamedev adjacent, I *feel like* the ff6 opera is kinda Tosca adjacent
There's a lot I don't love about the Oscars moving to YouTube, but I will rejoice in it if it means that winners no longer get played off.
why does this look like something a Japanese high schooler would summon by pretending to shoot themselves
Alright, tall Okarun!
sorry but those are two different kanji
if you thought fonts could make you sad in english lol
this team is so good at making video game. dqb2 was cracked too.
wow! neat!!!!
Ah we can finally say that @jfg.land and I had the real priviledge of working on narrative preproduction for several years on @marathonthegame.bungie.net ; it has an incredible narrative team, and a very special game that takes its narrative very seriously, in a fresh way that honors its unique past
Sorry this is *crazy*, in what universe did they think they could get away with this?
tbh most of the ones that bug me are when they do JP literalisms more than anything and that’s just bad loc. Please stop ending explanatory sentences with “after all”. I promise, it can be helped!
my annoying trait tho is I can’t do dubbed anime. It’s not that the VA is better in JP, it’s that somewhere between the translation, the VA, and needing to match lip flaps something always seems to go wrong lol
when you’re just that crazy
Having its content summarized is not an existential threat to Wikipedia
“gosh this team didn’t cut it, we’re laying people off” is less risky to stock prices than “our greenlight process is fucked and modern AAA development is unsustainable”
Broadly speaking especially in the case of an internally owned studio I do think this is a case where it’s easier to explain via a combination of corporate inertia, stupidity, hit mentality and shareholder messaging than it is even 2D chess. Shareholder messaging is a major part of it.
sale???!
Attacks leave dead vs killed
I just saw a TikTok video that referred to the band Bikini Kill as "Bikini Unalive," and it's like, what are we even doing at this point?
(he says having only given 500 hours, and only to *playing* it lol)
Don’t start, it’s a time sink
some of us still call it Sonikkah
people are validly complaining but my dumb ass who got the worst sunburn of my life on that lawn would appreciate the tents at least lol
obvs the new ado song is great for vocals but they released an instrumental track and damn son that lead line is so good. Obvs all the instrumentation is rad but how that lead line in the chorus harmonizes over the changes is… ooh youtu.be/icVQBlRzR2I?...
I swear to god I’ve seen the Kon chainsaw man summoning thing somewhere else but I have no idea where

the reality is a lot of these sites actual business was getting ad rev from people googling "how to take a screenshot windows". AI can't replace what @aftermath.site or @mothership.blog or @digitalfoundry.bsky.social or people make games etc make because they offer more than manuals with banner ads
hot take? "AI is destroying internet media" is not the story here, it's "AI can delivers slop better than what's left of internet media post-private equity". AI summaries can't replace a @gamersnexus.bsky.social vid. I stopped reading gaming sites when they fired all the writers I gave a shit about
