YOU HAD AI CODE THE GAME FROM THE BOOK THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO LEARN HOW TO CODE FROM IM BECOMING THE JOKER
If this were me, you would not be able to torture this story out of me
cool, cool
this is the exact right energy to bring to a “hear me out” we’ve been losing the thread on this. people will post “hear me out” and it’s literally a smoking hot person we all agree on. we need to bring it back to its roots as a way of confidently announcing that something is deeply wrong with you
too many guys are bad-weird now, we need more with this kind of good-weird energy
We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.
love when people ask "is [this thing] like [other thing]" when it's immediately obvious they don't know shit about [other thing]

Listen people with the closure of Bioware it is of vital importance that we step up and make queer alien fucker action RPGs now more than ever.

masturbating is just orgasmslop you only like it cause it makes you feel good
"I only use chatgpt in the ideas phase" haha that's so weird. I just have them
It’s almost cute how Tim Sweeney thinks he’s sharing worthwhile information when he tweets
oh well, maybe next time
My favorite BioWare memory isn't a game, it's interviewing the Doctors at GDC 2008. Rather than talk up their own work, they wanted to gush about Eternal Sonata—how someone turned their Chopin obsession into an RPG. Their excitement over using games for personal expression seems extra poignant today
"i sold a number of games that someone would use it as a cryptographic key" used to mean something.
on this point in particular: egs sales are so bad it's common for devs to share and compare out of disbelief, and often what you find is quite popular games are selling only in the double or triple digits of copies last i checked, my game had sold (drum roll please) five
Laplace's Demon (1987) was a horror-themed RPG by Hummingbird Soft first released for the PC-88 and 98 in Japan and later, for the Super Famicom in 1995. Set in 1924, players choose a profession then embark on an investigation with others to the haunted mansion, Weathertop Hall. (a ghostly thread)
in this era of everyone willingly shitting in their own pants, it's silly to demand someone shit in a toilet. I no longer use a toilet, it's so much more convenient to just do it in my pants. I shit in my pants before there was this "groupthink consensus" that it's bad to do that
"dont worry, we didn't use LLMs for real art, like writing, or graphics, or sound, we only used it for dumb gross useless basic shit like programming" always the funnest thing to read as a programmer, as someone whose whole career is based on code, whose handwritten library changed the industry etc
Game's called "Furry Massage" but the trailer is hardcore fucking??? That's not a massage!
The Dead of the Brain re-release coming out soon lets you swap on the fly between any soundtrack from its various releases and it also includes the PC Engine sound effects as a toggle, this is insane and a very good sign for future PC-98 ports.
I've seen your steam backlogs. Many of you should be hosting a Previous Fest.
