Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely. Coward hasn’t even drawn h

The funny part about Capcom adding an Eternal Ferrystone to Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen isn’t that they trivialized fast travel it’s that they added an Eternal Ferrystone to Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen so this is the second time they’ve done it.

Perpetually annoyed whenever I see an ad that’s just a TikTok. The ad industry used to waste so much money on elaborate, high concept garbage and society was better for it. Let’s get Jonathan Glazer to shoot a Cadbury ad where the devil does sexual chocolate ballet with babes.

People who used to be pedantic about data center water usage kinda dropped that bit when it became clear that they were just duct taping extremely shitty gas turbines to them. Kinda feels like they moved on to doing the toothpaste out of the tube bit. Ah well.

Trying to parse Dark Arisen 1 relative to Dark Arisen 2 particularly in light of DD2’s plot being a commentary on the eternal recurrence of franchises and my brain is vibrating. How do you parse Norgan’s place narratively and geographically relative to Bitterblack Isle and The Tainted Mountain?

Steam Next Fest is such a gamble now for devs because you want people to be excited about your upcoming release but there are AI vibecoding thieves that will snatch your concept immediately and release a soulless full version of it the next day.

The PS5 won because it didn’t really have competition, Xbox imploded, Nintendo is doing its own thing and exclusives were basically dead. You could have entirely skipped it as a console if you played Astro and one Housemarque game at your friend’s house and owned a PC. Still a solid console.
