GenAI being insanely polarized on a left/right axis makes all the handwringing "guyyyyys nooooo we gotta have nuuuuance" takes from executives very funny, sorry man to everyone under 45 it's the Hitler machine that makes images about Race Science

Rebecca Heineman - Wikipedia

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away.

Fuck cancer.

Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:

if you really want leadership to take you seriously on the primary front you've got to knock off some prominent figures - remember when Eric Cantor went down to Dave Brat?

this is going to be an uphill battle but I'm glad he's going for it

Just going to sit over here and play a delightful game from the year 2002 for the Nintendo Gamecube.

dw about it I'm sure it's fine

Rebecca Heineman is a legend. If you’re playing video games right now then the work she has done has impacted you.

"Get his ass” Is so unreasonably funny to me. A huge win for the English language. Today's version of "seize him" imo

I don't really think you need much for single player offerings in a fighting game beyond like Arcade/Story, some kind of quest mode a la Soulcalibur Weapon Master, and then maybe like some third thing for fun.

World Tour just feels like so much effort. Avatar costume stuff also feels limp too.

I’d straight up give your 400 employees a million dollars each to keep them happy for life and then invest the last 100 million into a heavily publicized cause to buy you immunity from exactly one massive scandal, but aight.

VF and Capcom Fighting Collection 2 are absolutely the ones that should win. For as good as people say 2XKO is, that's still a RIOT game. I can't support that company.

It's crazy looking at this list and thinking "...these were the highlights of the year?" There was so much else I feel that got released.

I will delete your game if you use genAI in your finished product.

...you know what, sure, have the pedophiles proudly announce their pedophilia on social media. That will surely own the left.

Sorry but my compromise position is that genAI dies and every exec that pushed it is forced to wear a scarlet letter

Man, I hope he can push through SE's headassery to make something beautiful.

This reminds me that I need to go get those Voice of Cards games...

They'd probably make the whole soundtrack bland orchestral, unfortunately, which would take away one of the series' best qualities post-Awakening.

Imagining Fire Emblem as prestige or serial Television would be hilarious.

Next time on... Fire Emblem:

"REINFORCEMENTS"

It's somewhat appropriate that he's wearing the James Sunderland fit

Where's Link famous adversaries, the Dodongos? Seems like something's missing here.

It feels like Link being a silent protagonist would be better conveyed through animation than live action. Unless they don't do that... Which will feel somewhat jarring all the same.

I also imagine one of the producers pitched it as "Zelda Lord of the Rings" and this is the result of that.

It had been a while since New Zealand got another tourism ad in the form of a movie, so they felt obligated to help the country out.

I feel like most of these "movie announcements" are just ways to increase the perceived value of a property rather than anything concrete.

If some investor or similarly gullible person sees it and goes "oh woah, this must be a really important business", then the company got what they wanted.

At the minimum, Steam should have better restrictions on what you type in there. Devs using the plagiarism machine and typing shit like "our human creative vision is still intact" is the dumbest shit alive. You offloaded the human part to a server, fuckass.

A clip from The Legend of Zelda movie set got leaked and gives us a first look at Zelda.

Anytime I see what I presume to be spoilers, I just think they're making shit up completely or live in a different reality entirely from me where things they experienced aren't the same as me.

Whatever I experience is what I experience at the time.

I saw a video recently where people just stormed into Costco, literally RIPPED open the packages to grab cards and then left, leaving a mess on the shelves.

Pokemon TCG scalpers are somehow a bigger blight on society than any other game.
