oh yikes. yikes yikes yikes.

Mellits i have misspoken. if you are being held at gunpoint please blink twice

Charles Dickens would look at this as a pitch for one of his scroogian villains and go "bit much, mate"

Mellits is obviously making ragebait I'm under no obligation to take seriously, but I gotta wonder how you write "the younger generation allows themselves a tiny treat once every seven days" and call it overspending without immediately bursting into flames because hell has misplaced one of its own

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

PC Gamer's Top 100 didn't have a single MMO in it this year—here are my 3 theories as to why we did that I've run the numbers, and by run I mean look at them a bit and sigh.

I promise we did vote on MMOs, it's just they, er, didn't quite make it in.

when i say that joshua wolens is one of the funniest people i know, this is what i'm referring to

me, dressed as a pirate, alongside a slide featuring my points in favour of Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire's inclusion on the PC Gamer top 100. the bulletpoints read: A GRIPPING HIGH-SEAS FANTASY ADVENTURE • COLONIALISM • YOU MUST BUILD A BOAT • MORAL COMPLEXITY • UNIQUE CHARACTER BUILD OPTIONS • GENDERED SEA SHANTIES • MORE LIKE BALDUR'S GATE PEE • YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO DO THE NAVAL COMBAT IT'S FINE • ESCAPE THE WHEEL OF SAMSARA • LET JOSH SAWYER COOK there is also a picture of a pirate ship and one of beloved children's cartoon character captain pugwash

lest anyone doubt PC Gamer's serious about the top 100 please find attached this screenshot from the meeting where we all pitched each other on our most-wanted games for the list

you cannot kill me in any way that matters

i had to collect all four elemental stones and 300 feathers to unlock the True Emma, definitely worth it if you've got the time

hades 2 is great but its visuals are ass if you're colourblind (me)

so much red on dark grey/purple. typhon in particular is just protanapia hell

and it kinda sucks there's no colourblind support; i long for the day where that's ubiqutous as subtitles, but it's just absent here

its hard boss dont get me wrong, but getting 95 in flea dodge will prepare you for goddamn anything

me after beating Silksong's final act 3 boss in like 13-16 tries

(after doing (almost) all the optional momentos and going through my anime training arc at the flea carnival beating Seth's scores:)

Borderlands 4 review True looter-shooter greatness in a messy package.

Borderlands 4 has one of the worst UIs I've ever seen in an RPG and runs like absolute garbage.

Also, I spent 47 hours playing it in a blissful, loot-addled daze. My review:

'you simply must accept the limitations of your hardware. please ignore the employees desperately working on how dogshit our game's performance is'

(i am very much enjoying BL4 so far btw)

randy pitchford livetweeting about how we should all simply accept the hands we're dealt while a hard-working dev team at gearbox pushes a bunch of optimisation updates (one of which, kudos, made a huge difference) is genuinely very funny to me

made it to act 3 of silksong and the fact this thing just keeps going is wild to me (good)

difficulty discourse all you like i'm a complete sicko for this and im having such a good time

the fact Silksong still has boss runbacks is proof that Team Cherry was making this in a complete vaccum for over half a decade

this is both a good and bad thing

oh yyeah, well, could AI do this?

*just absolutely completely screws up an easily-obtainable kill in Deadlock, fucking dies*

Disable ChatGPT this fucking instant. Destroy it. JFC.

EMMA ART LETS GO

disheartening to hear that's not the case with the management at IGN; you should get paid for your time and be in an environment that doesn't indrectly mandate otherwise. that's how it should be. it's the baseline in any decent society.

wishing everyone here the best of luck, and feeling very grateful for my current situation

my colleagues at PC Gamer have never pressured me to work like this; things can get stressful because that's the job, but im not pressured to skip lunch or work past my paid hours

oh, right, also; saying a VPN harms a child is like saying using an umbrella drowns that same chilld.

it's insane moon logic and any interviewer who doesn't immediately burst into laughter isn't doing their job

i've only done a couple of these for shit i absolutely have to for work, and yes, one of them did ask me to open my mouth.

made me feel dirtier than anything a VPN could help me access, lemme tell you

data company, sobbing through its teeth as i refuse to open my mouth for a webcam: won't somebody *think of the children*

this is why we need quest markers
