It's a great future where no gaming executive wants to employ any human developers, where the few remaining major publishers just want to charge for slop from an AI prompt, and where that very same AI bubble makes every new console cost $2000. This is a business with a bright horizon ahead

Today I would like to celebrate one of the most niche books I own: Phantasy Star Online 2 Fashion Catalog 2015-2016: ORACLE & TOKYO COLLECTION At over 360 pages, it's an utterly extravagant use of my limited shelf space. It is one of the heaviest, largest books I've acquired since moving overseas.

random encounters exist because the combat is fun you are supposed to enjoy it, if you dont enjoy it you should be playing a different video game, i dont understand how this conversation keeps happening

This is actually me though, I wanna see what normal mundane stuff people have that I don't!

The phrase “continuing our reset” strains the metaphor, the whole point of a reset is you press a button and it happens. But Microsoft may be thinking about it like Windows 11 where you have to install a bunch of shitty updates and it restarts like 3 times.

Hey what the fuck is this

The data centre boom is the exact opposite of everything the energy transition should stand for. It is the opposite of clean, of climate justice, of community benefits, of electrification and technological efficiency. www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/09/11/b...

it’s wild that the heritage foundation wrote in text that the assault on trans woman particularly in sports is their first step in their efforts to completely abolish all Title IX protections and liberals still don’t believe it’s about more than trans women in sports

Man this fucking suuuucks

Good primer on Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon. Concerningly, John notes “The credits to this game have a section for AI content” which is concerning considering there was no AI declaration and it’s not specific. Vibe coding? It’s sadly endemic…

Fun fact: "Reviewing an AI made translation" is more work for translators than just translating it themselves, because AI translations do not pass the sniff test beyond the most superficial. It's a loophole companies use as an excuse to underpay translators, and nothing else.

Game publishers want the staffing of film and TV without the unions that make gig-to-gig work a viable living and a sustainable business.
