These suggested OOO messages leave no indication of when the person will return, or even contact details for other team members that can field queries in their absence. Really bad practice IMO

Don Minotti turning up in his robe and, I assume, making demands. Love to see it

I do, I even bought a special controller so I can have them on xbox. They are a vast improvement

Bionic Bay. 10/10 cinematic platformer. Just exceptional

It’s sensationalist framing, but I think the lack of a new feeling title (MKW simply doesn’t have that feel) means there’s simply less ‘energy’ about it. I’ve seen and heard chat too but it’s a lot of general contentment rather than effusive excitement.

I thought Ironheart was a really great marvel showing, enjoyed much more than other efforts like moon knight and secret wars. Don’t understand the middling reception at all. I am a mark for anything Iron Man though

If Nintendo had changed the UI and released a unique, novel experience with the console it would feel so much more like a ‘new gen’. As it stands I really do feel no more than whelmed by the switch 2 and will wait till Metroid to get mine. But they’re selling fuck tons so what do I know.

I have the labo VR set still made up somewhere, may well dig it out for this

This is good content

I’m in a pretty good mood. Here are some of the reasons why

@danryckert.com as a fan of ‘little guy in a big world’ have a look at ‘a webbing journey’ on steam

On loop

Long live GB

I really tried with expedition 33. I did the opening section, did the first boss, got to the overworld and just…whenever I sit down to play I just don’t feel like the doing the ol mooch/boring battle/yakity yak/mooch loop

It’s obviously talking about the weapon, because everyone knows the rocket launcher in goldeneye was the only good one from 1997 on, especially compared to what was available on PC at the time. It wouldn’t be surpassed until Goldeneye Rogue Agent on DS, which ALSO never came to pc.

Oooop I spot a Yipee!

I’ll never forget the first time I saw a giant metal gorilla cry blood

It’s such a ‘bad boy’ move to not only return to the scene of the crime, but document it so brazenly

He’s starring in a game with these guys called Hedgehog and Plumber at the Knockoff Olympics

Might be finally time to try the hot dog

Here’s the China Minister of Education wiki page compared to the US Secretary of Education wiki page.

(You can repeat this comparison for any position and you’ll always see the same result)

It doesn’t seem right to hand-waive the entire Quest product line because horizon worlds has not taken off. VR may have stalled as a category but it’s still an exciting area for gaming and ents that Meta kinda own. Fine to say that’s not worth 45 billy but I don’t have those numbers to hand myself

Yeah I’m just speculating. But I’m thinking less about the compute demand of running the game in any one instance than the port work and distribution etc associated with keeping old games running on modern hardware (offset by the fact they get ‘free’ training for their model)

For one game, yes, but I would guess that MS can create economies of scale with their other AI infrastructure, and it’s the investment for them for a game making model that they can offer to publishers for getting their old games on their service. Plus if it makes their model better, win win

Is the argument something along the lines of: “it costs you money to make old games run on new platforms, but our AI can watch the game footage and then make a playable version”

Inherent to that is “train our game making AI on your IP” which is what I think the real goal for MS is

This is such great news, I’d been holding off on Echoes for this reason. You just added a few % points to my rating of this reveal

There was a while there when Air’s Moon Safari was basically 70-80% of all sound on earth

Coworker took the bigger L imo

Another game that would really benefit from a Trip mechanic

One day we’ll build an AI so advanced it will be able to tell me if my cats really appreciate the fantastic songs I write and perform for them. What a time to be alive
