30 min south of Fort Worth, TX around 11:30 PM CST (night mode used for photo, pink was just barely visible to the naked eye)

This is from our backyard in north Texas, we could just barely see pink with the naked eye. Absolutely crazy (and maybe a little concerning that the incoming solar storm is so strong that we could see auroras at all)

No matter the character creator, I will find some way to make a spooky bitch #OuterWorlds2

Petition for all games with character creators to give me the shaved side rocker girl hair as an option

Much of the hand wringing, imo, is over a critic explicitly saying they are judging the moral fabric of a piece of art because of the tools used to create it and itโ€™s making some folks feel uncomfortable and shamed. The people who feel that way should sit with that feeling.

I'm opening Outer Worlds 2 for the first time and I'm just tickled that they actually included an explanation of what generating shaders is all about?? I don't think any studio has bothered to do this to this point, it just became accepted that big games have to do this thing. I love it.

Not to say you shouldnt watch it. Who doesnt want to at least tune in for possible game reveals? But maybe spread some love to the other game award shows this year too

Btw, last year I watched the Golden Joystick Awards and they actually let all of their winners on stage to talk and let Ben Starr, as the host, talk about the tough things going on in the industry instead of fluffing over them like Geoff the industry bootlicker does

This is really important. I know Pennsylvania is another state that you have to be registered one or the other to vote in primaries. Independents cannot vote in them. Texas is the opposite. If you're registered independent you get to pick which primary ticket you vote on. Know your state's systems!

The wild part of that explanation is there is a plethora of games with pinging systems that do not use AI voices that are doing just fine. (Helldivers comes to mind) It's just a poor excuse.

This is the type of reviewing we need to see from these big outlets on studios using AI generated content.

From what I understand, they think they need to use AI voices for the pinging system, you know so they dont have to pay VAs to record new lines when they add stuff to the game.

Okay now I've finished the after credits stuff and I'm pretty sure this takes the cake as my favorite Borderlands now.

I have nothing to say about end game cause I play BLs as the RPG it is and then stop there, but the main game was great.

85 hours later and I'm finally rolling credits on Borderlands 4, and all I have to say is DAAAAAMN

Tried to make chocolate chip pancakes on our griddle and forgot to put baking powder in the batter... but used the last of my milk and butter in the batter so couldn't make new batter ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Ended up in the Panda Express drive through

This is also generally my issue with very neutral/centrist ideals. They will let the worst get away with whatever they want in the name of "minimal damage"

If all they learn after this is that the government will save them anyway, they'll just immediately latch on to the next "big thing" that the corpos will use to try to replace other workers with. So fuck them and their poor life choices

Idk how else to say this other than we literally cannot save everyone from their own stupid decisions. Part of protecting true artists/being an ally to them is accepting that people who threw in their lot with AI in anyway are going to have bad things happen to them when the bubble pops

There's no secrets in this blog post, Bioware states as they italicize random letters in said blog post.
