When dumb drama happens in videogames, I escape to TTRPGs for a bit. When dumb tabletop drama happens, I escape to boomer shooters. Every time Sandy Petersen does something stupid, I have nowhere to go and just have to hear about it from everyone for the next week.

I love boomer shooters as an ideological thoughtform where basically evil exists, literal supernatural from hell evil exists, but it CAN be stopped specifically by just shooting the fuck out of it, just one guy (or gal) whose mad enough and has enough guns CAN just kill the shit out of evil

Wonder if millennials will be the last generation to have nostalgia. I can't imagine in 20 years anyone is going to think back and fondly regard their childhood watching AI Charlie Kirk memes and gambling for videogame skins.

The speed at which Halo remake discourse has gone from "Halo is so back they got lens flare and bloom now" to "we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children" is kind of concerning. Maybe not surprising, but concerning nonetheless.

Weird when sci-fi that mainly uses the premise as an excuse to explore social issues eventually has to address the sci-fi shit. Like I guess you do at some point have to address the aliens in C&C or the cult in Severance. Why's it feel like jumping the shark when it's been there since day one?

Last thing on this; I've been following the Green brothers most of my life, and Hank using AI to make Worlde clones you play for free in your browser has ruined my trust in all of their businesses forever. So if you're making a full-priced Steam game with AI and I just heard about you last week...

I love how people like this will do anything but admit to the fact that gen ai is just inherently a bad harmful thing with no worth. “Eating human feces isn’t the problem, it just that my relationship to it is unhealthy and needs work-“ OH MY GOD JUST STOP EATING SHIT

Every time I see a review of the Halo remake that says they "stayed true to the original art style" over footage of a game that looks nothing like the original art style I die a little bit inside.
