Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy One way to get out of the video-game industry funk is to recognize that players aren’t spending $70 on most games

One takeaway from the DICE convention here in Las Vegas, where game makers gather to pitch and schmooze?

Most video games should not cost $70.

do they also get the Sad Onion stamped on their forehead?

AI shit can't die fast enough, this is fundamentally a parasitic "industry". It is just a virus that systematically gobbles up the value of labor industry by industry and produces significantly less revenue for its masters than stable workforces and markets. It is cancer bsky.app/profile/andy...

You gotta do some 40K now, that is clearly the Emperor of Mankind 🤘🤘🤘

I actually didn’t see that, nice touch! Also just a very funny way of foreshadowing

this is just the speedrun into the PARANOIA rpg timeline; Friend Computer wouldn’t lie to us!

Death Stranding 2 is a massive improvement and advancement from the first

She has to be crouching like a gargoyle

One take from a former Larian artist, following my interview with Swen Vincke this morning:

She yearns for the rubber top

HAIL SANTA

A digital illustration in very comic book style. At the center is an 80s Punk/Mad Max/Tank Girl-type girl with bright red and yellow rough-cut hair, wearing a red cut up tee, lots of belts and a studded collar and bracelets etc, denim cutoffs over electric blue fishnets, and tall blue combat-type boots. In her hands she has a red chainsaw with a skull decoration on It that she's holding at the ready. There’s a bag slung over her shoulder with the handles of a baseball bat and a machete emerging from the top of it. She is reared back on one foot, having just delivered a tremendous kick to the head of a humanoid robot which is reeling backwards, face half smashed in and turned toward the viewer, arms stretched out, with flames and sparks shooting out of its neck. It's one of those retro-future streamline robot guys that you would maybe see Superman fight in a Fleischer cartoon. Behind on the left you can see from the waist up another such robot which has been dealt with similarly just before. Above and behind all this is jagged red lettering over a jagged yellow outline reading DESTROY next to dimensionalized sans-serif letters reading "A.I." (quotes included) over a 🚫 symbol. Under the reeling robot are some important anti-AI talking points rendered in rough maker-style hand lettering: 'Bad at Everything! Kill the Planet! Brain Atrophy!' I could go on but there's only so much space in one drawing. All of this has been worked up digitally to look like it's a vintage screen printed t-shirt design with cracked and worn plastisol inks. In conclusion, fuck your AI.

Bears repeating

One of the big reasons I love your work is stuff like this, just a horrible creature having a grand old time, or in this case one with a frat bro attitude lol

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

If you’re not reading Event Horizon: Dark Descent..THIS is what you’re missing

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical.

You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

repeated slow blinks, purring, consistent physical contact…

News about the state of the world in general has become unbearable.
Living in the West feels like being a passenger in a car with no headlights or brakes, speeding down the wrong side of the motorway at night, and the 6-year old driver is in the middle of an intense psychotic breakdown.
