Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

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

this type of game has traditionally been the bread and butter. this is what keeps lights on. but i saw that boltgun 2, by all accounts a fine sequel to a popular game from a massive brand sold like a fifth of the original numbers and was like. well what the fuck are you meant to do if not that

similarly i saw deadzone rogue get reviewbombed because they decided to make an iterative sequel a year after leaving early access rather than continuing to patch the original forever and i understand all the steps to why this happened but you have to see that infinite updates is not sustainable

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

Like, Larian is a phenomenal studio. Larian is also doing their own thing with Divinity. You want them to put that to the side and spend the tremendous goodwill they’ve built up from Baldur’s Gate 3 on serving *another* leased IP for a third-party publisher? Get out of here. Y’all are being silly.

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

After hearing news of BioWare's closure on Wednesday, over 75,000 Mass Effect fans have signed a petition demanding that EA put another studio in charge of the franchise or license out the IP. https://bit.ly/4siIubW

I see the same thing with Dragon Age, people calling on EA to give the IP to another studio. A lot of folks keep bringing up Larian. Ignoring the demand that EA pick the pockets and hold an estate sale before the body is cold, it’s such a disrespectful move - to the devs, BioWare, and even Larian.

Google Play Integrity is a funny idea because it has the same problem as the IBM PC Platform in that you can not trust OEMs with anything. They're all dumber than a pound of bricks and will break everything both security and functionality. Get rid of all OEMs

the internet is real now. there is no "offline". the virtual and the real have intertwined intimately to become the hyperreal

Everyone thought Lula was cooked, hopeless. Then he bought a phone and started posting and now he's gonna get a 4th term. The lesson is to never stop posting.

Pixelreality reposted

I’m glad that Lula won for a lot of reasons but selfishly it kinda confirms that “swagless son of a fascist freak” will probably be a losing ticket when Trump dies and if the boys make a go for it.

Two THOUSAND Dollars!!!

Also you can still absolutely get a real ass PC for like $1200-$1800 dollars. Go to Microcenter and the nicest nerd you’ve ever had a retail experience with will hook you up with an ugly but functional PowerSpec. Things are bad but they still sell computers at stores.
