we have the one artform that allows full audience participation and we use it for mediocre attempts at filmmaking

We are god. Creation is our right and our need and our power, and so many have it beaten out of them. So they look for it in the AI slot machine.

Netflix Spider-Man 1 looking absolutely awful

The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.

Looks insanely charming, can't wait.

It has Save States as well, no rewind (which Advance and Dominus include). There's better ways to play Castlevania 2 but I have a fine time replaying CV3 in JP with the Grant route not long ago. Still a blast.

The Anniversay Collection does have some things of merit like an extensive Behind the Scenes digital booklet with a bunch of material like rough drafts of level design from the games, concept art and interviews with the staff. You can also toggle between English and Japanese versions.

Will have more to say about it on MinnMax this week, but for now please enjoy the game over/revive screen of Romeo is a Dead Man

I remember @charalanahzard.bsky.social 's reaction to THAT moment in AW2 saying that we needed to protect Remedy at all cost... Can't help but thinking that we failed 😞

New vid covering Rival Schools' JP ps1 port exclusive school sim mode, that lets you romance the cast. I think it's notable cuz it was Capcom tapping into a casual fandom market for fighting games, and for also letting you date the same sex!... and adults... Enjoy!

Riot lays off 2XKO developers less than three weeks after release: 'Overall momentum hasn't reached the level needed to support a team of this size' Roughly 80 employees are being let go as Riot's long-awaited fighting game fails to catch fire.

HALF THE TEAM?! Brother we are not even going to make it to the end of the year www.pcgamer.com/games/fighti...

Oh, you're watching the "Big Game" for the ads? How simple-minded of you, how disgustingly consumerist. Hope you enjoy your bitcoin-funded AI soda pop or whatever!! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to this 30-minute Nintendo Partner Direct that concludes with a Fallout 4 port for Switch 2

It's absolutely unbelievable that 2xko blew nearly a decade of work to release only to start downsizing their team 3 weeks into launch.

Runeterra had years before they had to bite the bullet, maybe 2xko would have had longer if they hadn't spent 9 years not releasing
