Hope y'all not tired of seeing Morrigan today!

Just a reminder that Clair Obscur was caught doing almost exactly the same thing FIRST (launching with some AI 'placeholder' textures that got patched) and yet somehow caught like a tenth of the flak.

Making an example of one while smiling and shrugging for the critical darling sits wrong with me.

Is this even a cultural difference??? I call my (white) parents' cousin "aunt"

Halo co-creator says ICE’s Halo-themed recruitment ad “makes me sick” Another Halo maker says ad "ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation." ALSO: A developer whose game just launched on Xbox slams Microsoft’s silence

NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post

One: "abhorrent”

Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation”

Admitting you plan to just rewrite history by letting an algorithm spit out statistically probable word combinations is certainly a choice. The disinformation age is truly the worst. Why have experts do something when you can have unethically trained plagiarism bots sloppily regurgitate nonsense.

Sorry I refuse to entertain the complete non-existent world where white people don’t know that countless cultures, including some of their own but certainly diasporic racialized ones, call their mom’s cousin’s friend’s sister they grew up with “cousin” and call close women elders “aunt/auntie”

THE WAIT FOR UNBEATABLE IS SO AGONIZING, JUST A FEW MORE DAYS

I did some voice acting for 10 Dead Doves and it’s still some of the most fun I’ve had in a VO session, because the writing is killer and weird in ways that I usually don’t see in video games.

Grab it!!

A witch named Sarissa is speaking to Toad, who is looking angry for some reason. She's saying, "I like players that respect women."

NIGHT STRIKER GEAR on Steam A brand new entry to the series, NIGHT STRIKER GEAR revitalizes the sprite scaling pseudo-3D style with polished graphics. The new GEAR System gives an added depth to the gameplay without sacrificing ...

I am not immune to peer pressure. I was cruelly bullied into picking up Night Striker Gear, a modern sequel to an old Taito super-scaler arcade shooter, directed by the lead dev on Ikaruga & Radiant Silvergun

It is very cool, feels like it has great replay value, and it'll take me a while to 1CC it

Microsoft allegedly asked FBI to track Gaza protests by employees - Business & Human Rights Resource Centre Check out this page via the Business and Human Rights Resource Centre

I've been boycotting Microsoft for a while as they're still a BDS target, and they've done some utterly reprehensible things recently, like called in the FBI to investigate their staff for dangerous anti-genocidal sentiments

But this could upgrade it to the kind of grudge you take beyond the grave

If Microsoft do not make a firm statement against this soon, I'm pretty sure I'm upgrading them to Boycott For Life.

This is utterly reprehensible and if they somehow endorse this naked, virulent bigotry, they are a valid target forevermore.

might be one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen

There are a disturbing number of people who think like this. I've been seeing a rising number of commenters on my Hidden Gems roundup who are upset at being shown games they've never heard about, because if they haven't heard about it, it must be bad and thus it can't be a gem, so I must be lying.

thegamingbrit's video on silent hill 2 remake got him a lot of shit but he was 100% right when he said that constantly remaking classic games by destroying them completely to make them "look modern" is the creative impulse that leads to replacing everything with ai slop. same thing different degrees

I’m happy to report that MGMT got their ass

Chainsaw Man is Never Gonna Score

This is something I've seen a lot of over the past couple years. Unhinged American right-wing sorts are utterly aghast at the concept of european arts grants and think it's some kind of leftist propaganda movement rather than a normal thing that most functional countries do.

a wholesome plane has hit the second cozy tower more like no thoughts to declare

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too.

can't wait for cozy domestic violence simulator or cozy kkk simulator
