Awwwww rats. Well i tried my best! haha!

I am unreasonably proud of using various Varia suit parts edited together to make the SA-X into a Saxophone.

Even if Trans Rights was a "Losing Issue" (it's not), I think Human Rights are actually something worth standing up for and if you start deciding whose dignity isn't popular enough to defend, you're playing the Fascist Game and are a piece of shit.

The opening text of Master and Commander, but its the style of a Zohran for Mayor poster. "April, 1805. Napoleon is master of Europe. Only the British fleet stands before him. Oceans are now battlefields."

Yeah :D

A plea for help. 🙏

AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page: The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

“0% woke shit”

a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

Because SE's QA people are probably not in a position to defend themselves and their jobs in public, I want to spell out some of what it is they specifically do for us localizers, because nothing I've written here is rhetorical. SE QA acts as a final check on our work after translation and editing.

I don't really love to throw industry shade because it's rarely black and white, but I am going to remind people that a game starring arguably the most iconic black superhero was cancelled *in advance* of this sale and all of the GDC talks from staff working on it were shot down at the EA level

A four frame comic about Captain Torture. The first frame shows the sign "BREAKING NEWS" and the drawing of a man, with the words "CAPTAIN TORTURES PASSES AWAY" near him. The second frame shows a journalist holding a mic, as she says "A controversial and divisive figure, Captain torture will be remembered for his key role in history." The News title is "Mourning day for Captain-". The third frame shows three posts on social media. The first one is by a man called Paul James @Paulitician. He writes: "I didn't always agree with Captain Torture but he sure was a man who believed in something." The second post by James Paul @Avegetable reads: "I pay my respects to Captain Torture and his family. His heart was in the right place- with our country." The third post is by SonicVomit @SonicBleh , and reads "HE TORTURED PEOPLE". The fourth frame shows an interview on TV. An angry man on the right is saying: "Let me tell you something, Jen. I think it's SICK to celebrate Captain Torture's death. These people should be LOCKED UP, and also tortured-". The news below says: "Every president on earth pays homage-".

I mean great but this is probably not a bad time to talk about "invasion fantasies" and where they come from, what they represent, and how they can be co-opted like this...

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

I will never forgive generative AI for making me question every “Dog being silly” compilation.

Like how bad does does something have to be to suck the joy out of dogs being idiots.

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

Abcnews graphic: surreal moment as coyote drinks water from skylight window on top of Los Angeles hair salon (Image of exactly that, except the framing is canted and as a result it looks like a coyote imprisoned in a glass square a la the phantom zone from Superman)

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

The 100 dollar game thing is always wild cause like what do you think is gonna happen? Games are gonna be bigger? There will be less microtransactions? Developers will be treated any better?

because lol exactly 0 of those things are gonna happen

Retail cost of games doesn’t matter as long as the corporations are profit based and will prioritize exploitative shareholder payouts over stability and good wages for its workers.

A lot of the defence of Mario Kart World being $80 that I saw from Nintendo diehards was "well you'll be playing it all generation" but no I won't? I don't play Mario Kart enough to justify paying a premium for it, it just isn't the type of player I am.

Video games are also an especially silly medium to do this "dollar per hour" value judgement with, given how much time you get out of many games depends on whether you care about doing the optional stuff.

Should I be paying less for my games because I'm not an achievement hunting completionist?

No other art form is priced according to the amount of time it takes the way gamers expect games to be. A ticket to a 3hr movie usually costs the same as a ticket to a 90min one

its funny how fluoride gets a bad rep when it's the most "natural medicine" discovery.

Scientists were like "some mountain kids got invincible teeth, lets test their spring water. Oh weird, the invincible teeth mountain spring water has fluoride in it, lets give it to everybody"

please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

have faith in your own experiences and interpretations!!! let your personal experience of something have meaning, as opposed to trying to find the “correct” meaning

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing
