ABBOTT: Japanese developers today have unique names, like FromSoftware COSTELLO: From what ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: I thought you said it was from Japan ABBOTT: It is COSTELLO: But what's the name of the developer ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: The Software's From Japan, though ABBOTT: Yes
The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.
just wanted to read a kids’ menu online and look at all this fucking shit lmao
Just remember That one SNES / PS1 / PS2 game is there waiting for you to emulate that will potentially change the course of your life forever
Our English patch for Kowloon's Gate, the surrealist Asian-gothic cyberpunk PS1 adventure game arrives June 9th.
New episode! Jonathan plays a lot of Resident Evil. Chris plays a lot of old tripe. The boys talk about some Chinese-made videogames. Everyone has a lovely time. o3c.games
Trying to ditch streaming and go back to Vinyl / MP3s. Bought a cheap DAP (we're talking ~£50) and am back on Slsk. Here we go!
you already know what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, more obscure, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help. with that said, onwards!
It's the Spring Sale on Steam! Demonschool is 20% off!!! You should please buy it if you have not. It's no exaggeration to say the more people buy the game, the more we'll be able to do with it in the future. So tell your friends as well! store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

There's a reason Rez Infinite is one of the best games of all time, and it's only $7.49. Incredible on a small flat screen, mindblowing on a big fancy screen, existentially uplifting in virtual reality. Why not give Rez a trance. store.steampowered.com/app/636450/R...

I think it's weird for people who are nominally journalists to say things like "We should have waited to see what people think." The issue isn't that you lost the coin flip of public opinion; the issue was that you gave into astonishment. The problem is that the keyjingling got you at all!
The big DLSS 5 machine learning debate and why we should have waited before posting our first round of coverage - today's video: youtu.be/5dTTfjBAFzc
The real issue is that DLSS (and all upscalers) had already inadvertently encouraged devs to stop bothering with optimisation. DLSS5 seems to encourage them to stop bothering with art direction too. Proper death of games stuff.
Potentially hot take: DLSS5 is a more effective alternative for achieving photorealism in games vs traditional methods (higher res textures, models, more accurate lighting simulation, etc) Please note that this is not me saying that it looks good or is good. It's def still slop
I can only assume DF are taking massive under the table payments here because the coverage is beyond pathetic. Expected so much more from this team.
DLSS 5 brings next-gen quality, photo-realistic lighting to GeForce RTX 50 series. We've been hands-on with four games and here are our first impressions: youtu.be/4ZlwTtgbgVA
This is MASSIVE. Genuinely never thought Nintendo would bother. This improves the visual clarity of EVERY SINGLE SWITCH 1 TITLE in handheld. Only downside (I assume) are that you'd lose handheld specific options like touch input with this toggle on.
