NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents My story... www.gamefile.news/p/control-re...

gamefile.newsWho made the art inside Control Resonant?When the developers of Control Resonant needed to fill their video game version of New York City with art galleries, they tapped the talents of people they knew particularly well

We could live in a country with a nation wide functional public transit system but no let's applaud the losers who are choosing to defund all that and build stupid dangerous bullshit toys instead

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

Really surprised and confused about the somewhat mixed reception of Control Resonant, it might actually be my favorite Remedy game so far. It's just so emotionally intelligent, so well written, the characters including Jesse are given so much more depth. It's just more of a slow burn

the funniest part is he asked for n64 bomberman, we booted up 64, and then he was like "oh not that one the one with the good song" so he was 100% thinking about redial (but bought 64 and 2nd attack alongside hero anyway)

the fundamental thing wrong with this ai-driven "hyper personalization" pipe dream is that your preferences are constantly changing, primarily in response to experiencing things that are different from your current preferences and expectations, through this little-known process called Living.

this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

But I can't explain to someone who has no interest in art why someone would want to use specific artstyles, nor why someone would find that appealing. I love art from people who have something specific to express and to experience the feeling and texture of what that art evokes.

Walked into work to find that the evening person had printed out a horrible ai generated "pin the glasses on the librarian" game and made the students play it

All these people who are enthusiastically participating in the degradation of our quality of life and culture make me genuinely sick

I could've doodled a librarian in 5 minutes that would've looked ten times better than this ugly garbage and I probably wouldn't have made half the students extra depressed in the process even

I know we're all saying it but I deeply deeply sick of the billionaire theft machines giving everyone brain damage. Get this ugly shit out of my face!

Throwing a tantrum because I did that thing where I stop paying attention to the date and it is suddenly somehow September 21st

Horror movies I have seen in theaters this year ranked (enjoyed all!): -Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma -28 Years Later: The Bone Temple -Resident Evil -Obsession -Backrooms -Iron Lung

diabolical of stop & shop to require me to download an app to get the discounted gas. App is probably going to want 24/7 access to my location & my ssn
