Been playing Control Resonant and enjoying it a lot! Loads of creative stuff in here, and the shared Wake universe continues to entrance me, just not sure the shift to open world is making the game any better--potentially worse! I'm going to try to continue to have faith in the vision though

As I'm zipping around, I see how an open world works for player empowerment, but on the flip-side, as I'm just crossing off points on a map and killing baddies, it feels like a roller coaster I've ridden many times before.

Somebody at Rockstar knows who the rat is. Let’s talk.

Wow holy fuck what a shit in principle but also at least have some selfworth and ask for more than an hour of time off for betraying your entire field www.verticalslice.news/rockstar-acc...

A great narrative trope is when an unassuming individual suddenly has a great duty thrust upon them, watching them rise to an occasion they never asked for. Ed Sheeran is a great example of the opposite of that. Ed Sheeran is a reverse-Frodo

The thing about Kingdom Hearts is that the whole thing is saved by how fun the gameplay is, so a tv show does NOT seem like the move lmao but hey, if it’s good, I’ll watch it. Maybe they’ll try and get Shimomura on it.

Please, I’m trying my best to pretend FFVII spinoffs are noncanon.

IGN@ign.com

Final Fantasy VII Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi opened up on the game’s connection to the Advent Children film, saying that more than one of FF7’s spin-offs are going to tie into the game’s ending. https://bit.ly/4hU1Ssy

I straight up will not watch Netflix shows anymore unless they come to a planned finale, which has all but stopped happening for new shows. So definitely #2 for me.

I mean, there are two major reasons in my estimation: - The seasonal gaps are too long. - Netflix is probably canceling too many shows after one season, eroding trust. Folks wont jump in if they don't expect a follow-up. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Besides just being weird as hell, hating on trans people also tells others that you're a mark. A rube. A person that will hate whomever they're told to hate. A bootlicker. A snake to be tread on etc. It's loser shit

My ass is still waiting on Baldur’s Gate 3 to be at least 50% off before I buy it. I can wait. I will die with that game still in my wishlist if the God’s deem it so

$1000 is about $400 more than I’m willing to spend on a steam machine too. I know this is out of their hands, but it’s a bummer since I think I’m like squarely their target audience for this

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

I’d much prefer we avoid incentivizing staring at the minimap in the year 2026, but this is a cool idea at least.

Prod. Keisuke Nakashima demos chocobo mounts on the world map & a fast travel feature. The game will also feature random encounters, but you'll know a battle will be imminent when the minimap pulses quickly & glows red. More about Final Fantasy Resonance: novacrystallis.com/2026/06/fina... 🎞️SQEX

FF7R3 looks fantastic, as expected. I'm a bit unsure about the job system (that's what materia was for?) but considering that FF7R2 has imo the best action rpg gameplay currently available, I'm sure it will win me over--hopefully we can toggle the actual costumes though

The #StarSpark Steam page went live 7 months ago and the game now has 608 wishlists, +35 from last month. That's more than April (+12) and March (+16) combined 💪 Marketing during this period was limited to posts on Bluesky, Mastodon, and Discord. #GameDev #IndieGameDev #GameMarketing #Steam 1/5

When did the game guide site Neoseeker get so bad? Constant intrusive ads, pages refresh making you lose your spot. Were we wrong to ditch text-only gamefaqs guides?

I keep typing and deleting things that will get me banned. Removing him from office is not enough, but it’s a start. Then we move on to anyone in power that supported him, even silently from the shadows, quietly profiting. Root and stem, top to bottom. Bury this ideology; salt the fucking ground

I have literally seen one every single day since posting this

The Bluesky Discover algorithm—such that it exists—is so weird. I have seen at least one post about someone’s pet dying every single day for the past week. My dog is 12; I do not want to see this shit.

This movie is so good—we were literally cheering in the theater when we saw it. First example I can think of of Rotten Tomatoes simply being dead wrong

Warner Bros. has announced that #SpeedRacer (2008) will be released in theaters, including IMAX, for the week of April 25, in addition to being remastered in 4K Ultra HD, digitally and on disc, on May 19. 🍿 Read More: bit.ly/4tmZbCG

I’m begging liberal Gen X/boomers to stop using gen AI for political memes. I promise we can discuss how bad Trump sucks without draining a rainforest to depict him as a baby in diapers
