with exceedingly few exceptions, big fg content creators are vultures. they'll pick at a game clean, at the scenes expense or not, then move on to the next release to get their YouTube/Twitch numbers up

now that fighting game launches are muted and more niche, they're struggling to maintain an audience because they offer nothing other than being a place to watch the newest game they could give a shit about the communities they came from, it's all about the bag. poisonous to this space

oh shut the fuck up man if AI really was this revolutionary technology that changes game development you would be proud to announce its use.

Rock Paper Shotgun@rockpapershotgun.bsky.social

Steam's AI disclosures are akin to "forcing developers to list their voting history", says man who must hate seeing eggs virtue signal that they're free-range https://bit.ly/4yHFEyK

to even entertain the idiotic voting history talking point, your voting history isn't a factor in production of the product. if your game was made with AI, that's something consumers have a right to know to make an informed purchase on the work.

wow deadman danny straight up makes deadlock not fun I already thought vindicta was problematic but Danny is that on steroids

because they did not make you excited the variations of "it's your fault actually, not the MCUs" in the QRTs are intellectually incurious

Maxebon@maximrutter.bsky.social

I feel like 10 years ago if you told me they were making a movie where The Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic 4 team up I would have been excited. So why aren’t I?

Clayface was fun. Had a good time, I think the Substance is a better version of this movie though.

Also hearing people ask "why isn't batman in this" just reads to me like "mom where are my toys! i want my toys!"

im starting to think the group of people who bought wolverine are more genuine with their engagement with art than the two groups pointed to here the devolvement of the internet, bot farms, and rage induced headline generation, makes it hard to find people I am fully convinced are being honest

there's a whole world out there of normal people who don't pay attention to game reviewers or anti-woke sloptubers, and I wish them nothing but the best

Despite online criticism, Marvel's Wolverine is the highest-earner for a Sony published title since Helldivers 2. (Read more at GamesIndustry)

one piece 1196, oda calling me(and I'm sure a lot of other people) out with the core theming of that chapter

it's just 100% true, and it's even more frequent now. clip culture, mobilized hate campaigns make sure to give regular people their opinions before they engage with the art we are leveraging our ability to think for ourselves to online ragebaiters

The analogy used her to defend Aang is terrible but outside of that, I actually do LIKE Korra. I just think she's a great character stuck in a dog shit show with writing that severely underserves her.

ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social

‘Avatar’ creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko say much of the hate toward Korra stems from misogyny and homophobia, pointing out that fans blame her for losing the past lives but don’t hold Aang accountable for the Air Nomads’ extinction.

I've seen this framing a lot since the movie came out but: Nicki is not a slasher monster like Jason or Freddie Krueger and she honestly shouldn't be treated that way lmfao. It's tasteless.

Bloody Disgusting@bloody-disgusting.com

Nikki from OBSESSION joins FORTNITE tomorrow. You wished for this...

I was never a "Wow Cher is lovely" guy just because I didn't have much exposure to her, but after watching Moonstruck I get it.

we will not be there, but do this for the migos and you will make 2 billion dollars Sony

DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net

Sony is considering releasing all 4 ‘BEATLES’ biopics on the same day in April 2028. Another idea being considered is offering a 4-pack of tickets to encourage fans to buy tickets to all 4 films at once. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)

jason schrier's gta6 piece printing among the most credulous quotes I've ever seen anyone put to game journalism paper

what this tells me more than anything is that the higher ups at gta6 are really sniffing their own farts if they're telling journalists this sincerely

last year's game awards soured me, but this year's game awards genuinely might be skipped for me the categories just aren't robust enough to not end up giving a shit ton of awards to one game, and it's value as a world premiere front is non existent when they all get uploaded to YT immediately

inspiring moral clarity for an indie dev like me

Grant just missed something completely on one of these points. The other criticisms were fair even though I don't really agree

DC veteran Grant Morrison reviewed Lanterns, and they had more than a few criticisms of its "morally and legally incoherent" finale. https://bit.ly/4yM1d2a

I feel like we can overcomplicate these things sometimes, non good games don't usually have you behaving like this! good games very much can have a lot of things wrong with it. FW is for sure bloated and has one too many combat systems(why are dungeons a thing) but the game is almost always fun

Imran Khan@imrankhan.bsky.social

Fortune's Weave is fascinating. I can point to just so many things wrong with this game but also I just keep wanting to play it. I wake up in the morning and want to pivot to my Switch 2 when walking to my office. Like, I don't think it's good, but I do think it's compelling?? What a weird thing.

The problem with using “good game design” to back up your personal taste is that it tends to rely on the idea that good game design is somehow singular, which is more wrong than I can fit on the screen.

If you truly believe that "there are no good movies or games anymore", then please hang up your critic hat, delete your accounts, touch grass, and for fuck's sake, please watch more movies and play more games. I'm tired of this grift.

we are a nation of barbarians who reject to conceive that there might be another way we are centuries past this kind of shit, the death penalty is so insanely primitive and unnecessary. it protects no one and deters nothing
