Where it stands out most to me, and I thought this with Scar/Vi too, is the proper animated cutscenes where you have folk just flapping their mouths.

It also doesn't help that their subtitles are shite. Can't even label who's talking or use a different colour when there's multiple people?

It's really crazy that Pokémon games don't have voice acting still considering how fucking talky they can be.

Randomly had the thought the other day but do kids these days care about or even have the concept of getting to use "the big TV".

I remember as a kid being so excited getting to hook up one of my consoles to "the big TV" in the living room instead of my wee one in my bedroom.

The McDonald’s x Street Fighter collab in Japan is incredible. No notes. 🤌

This is doing the rounds again so might as well promote my review of the Xena PS1 game alongside a bunch of other licensed games. (Spoiler: I think it's really cool)

Xena Warrior Princess PS1 game promo - features a picture of Xena with some screenshots of the game. Text reads - the way to a man's heart is through his ribcage. Xena lets her chakram fly in the fiercest adventure to hit the PlayStation. Miss out and you'll be gutted.

Always remember

Margaret Thatcher would have been 100 years old this week, except she isn't

Just been watching a random 1UP Show episode I have on my hard drive and man we were so spoiled. It really is crazy how ahead of it's time it was.

The fun wee skits, the casual yet insightful game chats and just great production values. Wish it could've lasted forever!

"AI was an expensive mistake": Charles Cecil on innovation, insolvency, and Broken Sword Plus, why Revolution Software needs to innovate for Broken Sword 6 – and why it might be a long way off

Charles Cecil says that using AI to upscale artwork for Broken Sword: Reforged was a mistake. "The result was not enormously satisfactory," he says. Instead, Revolution ended up redrawing the backgrounds from scratch, using the original artwork as a reference.

I've got the demo for Pikmin 4 to try at some point.

Have seen that speculation cause of the music. I never played Pikmin so wouldn't recognise it.

Such a weird thing to release with zero context.

Will ye, aye

Why did Nintendo just send me a notification to watch an animated short about a baby getting pranked by a ghost? Which doesn't seem to be obviously linked to a game?

Welp, fuck this.

Welp. Fuck this.

I understand many of the reasons why but every now and then I remember what a bummer it is that Evanescence never came close to how incredible Fallen was/is.

That album was IT for me when it came out and Amy Lee's voice remains top tier. Just wish they could get close to it again!

Microsoft blocks Israel’s use of its technology in mass surveillance of Palestinians Exclusive: Tech firm ends military unit’s access to AI and data services after Guardian reveals secret spy project

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

I was fairly indifferent to that twinky boy but when he was doing that Superman press tour with his bleached blonde hair I had many confusing feelings.

I've started Garden and still have to decide where to slot in Ishiin and Lost Judgement while getting to Infinite Wealth eventually 😆

Playing RGG games is a full time job.
