I turn off any incoming or outgoing voice chat by default unless I'm explicitly playing with friends. There's the chance that I'm missing out on a nice chat with a stranger in the solo queue, but that's a rarity in my experience and I'm no longer willing to play social gaming roulette.

If players' voices coming out of your speakers freaks you out please DM me or thread for a story I'm doing. For example, your child has downloaded a seemingly benign game only for it to load them into an open mic with a strange man by default who now sounds like he's in your living room!

Reading a sci-fi novel where an offhand world-building element ignites my imagination, aka “what if every time people were on a spaceship during faster than light travel, each person felt different disturbing auditory & visual hallucinations that made the whole FTL trip like a brief horror scene?”

LOL I woke up this morning to find out that Maria bought a cameo from Richard Summers-Calvert (Biddy Blas HIMSELF) to celebrate our wedding as Biddy in Huttenese and he COMMITTED. What a champ!! Biddy Blas confirmed ally.

Unsurprisingly, if you're the creator of Dragon Quest, AI is a great tool for churning out content that makes headlines. But for the majority of people? Not a chance. I'll never get why Joe Everyman™️ defends this tech when it's clearly only designed to help the rich pull the ladder up behind them.

Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii has released a new game, which he claims was made in “just about 30 minutes,” with generative AI. vgc.news/news/the-las...

they won't because nintendo is still the best partners among stores and physical is also how you reach families. in fact, the whole family thing is the biggest reason why they won't go digital only. even the GKC thing was a way to get around issues of digital only to serve families.
