The other day I was comparing a game's action to Gunstar Heroes, and now, for the life of me, I can't remember what game I was talking about

It's Music Monday!, and today's pick comes with me giving y'all a flashing and strobe warning on the video: youtu.be/OMmTiDRuq1E

DREVO - ЕНКАРАПІСТА

Kingdom Hearts When you walk away... 🥲 #Kingdomhearts #kh4

A friend let me know that folks are comparing Duskbloods to City Trial. I get that, but I also feel like the dev team got inspiration from board games. The phase system combined with how you earn points feels very close to a board game that you play as a fromsoft action game.

Haven't had the chance to try out all of the characters, but I'm into The Duskbloods. Might play more tomorrow before the network test is over. Though I'm most curious to get more story, and I know we won't get that during the network test.

I've been thinking about how easy it's gotten to fall into a pattern of assuming media commntary on a thing that isn't praise is critic. I spent close to 2 decades telling people I wanted Zelda to be more like what we got with BotW, and I don't think anyone assumed that meant I hated the series.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma was incredible! On top of it being a fantastic movie, I feel really fortunate for the theater I was in. It felt like we all understood the assignment.

It's been a rather busy Music Monday! I've actually been torn between a few songs, but I'm ready to lock-in today's pick!: youtu.be/ZSogyqbH_2w

Twitch seems to be planning to use all streams to train generative AI. If you care about streaming, you should support this uservoice asking them to make all AI features optional and turned off by default. twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338...

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 4w ago

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

A dark day for human rights.

Labios Rotos (En Vivo Desde México / 2010)

Been thinking about different ways to basically do this setup. As folks have already pointed out, it unfortunately requires someone to individually obtain SSDs. However, with how big some games are now, it might still be convenient enough to try out someday.

A Redditor got a couple of used 2.5" SSDs and turned them into his own cartridge system for Steam games.

So after 14 months(?) of work and a lot of frustration barely knowing what i was doing i think i made someting special (!) presenting: a Wine fork for Ableton Live 12 on Linux stable pixel perfect vst support 1st class gnome citizen device hotwire support low latency audio tell ur friends 🥹🥹

I think it would serve so many people to think about games that only take a couple of hours to play through more like how they view seeing a movie in a theater. There will always be folks who don't want that experience but that doesn't mean the experience isn't worth something to others.

Mega 🎮😈@megamachina.bsky.social · 2mo ago

"The game should be free if it's shorter than 2 hours" No, devs deserve to earn money for their work still. If a short time means free, then the movie industry is screwed. "There's no point in releasing a game if it's under 2 hours" There's plenty of reasons, and they can still be fun to play.
