Art is gacha and the currency for the summons is frustration hahahah
yeah, it is this lol (seeing Miyazaki go full crashout on TV was both cathartic to me but also demotivating in a way like 'oh no even gods continue to go through it no. no this will never end NO')
bro they laid off the Doom 2016 developers. that's like if you laid off the studio that made arguably one of the best first-person shooters of all time, like Doom 2016
Just had the most fun Iโve had playing games in years, playing Halo 3 in 4-player co-op with buddies. Made me remember why I love what I get to do.
The lods on this thing are completely switched around smh.
In the concept art this arch was supposed to be a perfect miniature of Trump's planned 250 ft (76m) tall arch. The rushed and limited planning time led to this Home Depot scrap plywood wrapped in vinyl debacle.
Every time you see one of these headlines, hundreds of families just had to start lining up at the food bank, just had to learn to beg their landlord not to send a grip of thug cops to throw them out on the street. Layoffs right now are functionally a permanent unemployment sentence. We need help.
Iโve stared at this for a while, thinking about what to say. Iโve stared at other layoff notices, other news reports about studio closures, other game cancellations, other successful teams being torn apart, & rarely (if at all) is it from a bad team or a bad product. I still donโt know what to say.
As someone who used to work on licensed comics (Rugrats, Cartoon Network etc) it absolutely blows my mind that stuff like this is going out on official products. We'd get dragged over the coals if a spot colour was one Pantone reference out. Now? Sure, Donald has seven fingers. Why not?
that KH Switch collection pack thing sure has some interesting cover art interesting choice to give Donald a mismatched number of fingers on each hand, and a beak that absorbs into itself
Sometimes I miss the chunky thuds of a hard disk drive. Like yes king, show me how hard youโre working to load up this copy of Halo 1 PC.
Character lore unlocked
Iโm playing Tomodachi Life and-
my girlfriend asked if she could make a Mii for my island and handed this back to me 30 minutes later.
BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.
Zeb back in 2020, such a cool little pirate boi
Looksmaxxing? No thanks, I prefer SamMaxxing.
