Oz The Mediocre

These things might be the most irresponsible technology we've ever created and the fact that the powers that be won't reign this in is haunting to say the least

this is purely my own gut feeling and i’d love actual devs input, but i get the sense that on top of everything else collapsing, one of the big struggles in games is that the Normal Iterative Sequel, reasonably scoped and made on a quick schedule, seems to sell like six copies now

Lol and this is before Day One Updates and future updates

sisqo writing the song about how butts are good in thongs: i'm thinking this key change should feel like the end of the world and the birth of a new future

"We have Goya's Third of May at home"

This is why I'm not actually on board with the whole Save Mass Effect thing. I deeply love ME but saying "please Saudi backed EA, now that you've destroyed the studio that made these games, farm out the IP to some one else to limp on in some barely recognizable zombie version" ain't it. Let it die

Unai Simon winning the Yashin trophy over David Raya might be the biggest Ballon d'Or robbery since Lewandowski in 2020. The World Cup bias is unholy

China having a massive share of the global battery supply chain is gonna make the next 20 years of global electricity generation quite interesting

Watching Arsenal feels so chill after winning the league

SET-PIECE FC IS BACK

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

My mind is just collapsing at the "we have far-right entryist groups offering themselves as middle-men to hook you up with professional hitmen, but our big priority is covering up pride pins" of the present BBC.

Those "Mad King" stories in the fantasy genre are really hitting a little different these days

Cyberdyne Systems employees have petitioned to stop the sale of its T-800 Terminators for the purpose of terminating.

God this shit rips like a fucking chainsaw

Hey, what the fuck is going on in this book? (Complimentary)

This company will basically always choose the worse decision. It can't help itself

There's something darkly funny about this happening when one of this years Game of the Year contenders is a vampire game and Castlevania made a big comeback with it's first release in forever

This is Ubisoft's load bearing wall. If they stop developing this game, the company will collapse. If they finish this game and release it, the company WILL collapse

Immaculate fit

inventor of the blu-ray and blu-ray player has discontinued their industry leading product, the blu-ray

the kind of anime that i watch: time passes....and that's sad... me: *wiping tears* you're so fuckin right tho, that's sad as fuck dawg

Ever fucking green

Video games has decided to discontinue its once leading product, the video game

Every time promotional stuff for this movie drops I am surprised because I keep thinking this movie has already come out

If anyone else but Harry Kane wins the Ballon d'Or it will be a travesty

"If we brick the Disney properties it will sink the company"

Logically I understand that it’s been six years since the launch of the PS5 and Series X so it makes sense for talk of next gen consoles. But also like even if you disregard the absurd electronic prices these days, it just doesn’t feel like consoles games have done anything to necessitate an upgrade

In the works for now...

"finished is a necessary prerequisite to good," the writer told himself as he slogged through the third act. "finished is a necessary prerequisite to good. finished is a necessary prerequisite to good. finished is a necessary prerequisite to goo

"You will own nothing and be happy"

Also: Dragon Age 2 is an incredible video game that took storytelling swings no one else was even considering in 2011, had one of the best ensembles in any medium, and was a goddamn feat of development that got made in A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS. Haters can get bent, Kirkwall 4 life

“what happened to the vaunted soft power of the United States, world-straddling conquerer for a hundred years” - well you see all that soft power was in the hands of bolsheviks.

There is something so soul crushing about creating art that pushes the needle in the games industry, only to be thanked by using the capital gained from said art to push the ones who created it out of a job.

The only constant I believe in right now when it comes to the video game industry is that Nintendo will continue to make Mario games until the heat death of the universe

None of us should be surprised when Microsoft eventually sells Xbox and some of the industries oldest game studios get torched in the process

I think the closure of Bioware in the grand scheme can be attributed to the American government grossly mismanaging the ecosystems of their biggest entertainment powerhouses. Letting mergers and acquisitions get this far is one of the great undoings of American soft power

EA owned, in the mid-90s and the late 00s-early 2010s, the flagship blockbuster rpg developers of their time. origin and bioware were at their peak both squaresoft level cultural behemoths and EA pissed both away to nothing. what a waste.
