An Irish streamer of Guild Wars 2, Baldur's Gate 3 & Retro; I want to talk games, lore, psychology and how to make the world better.

I have been saying for years that all companies have to do is hire their best modders.

So I'm gonna just keep linking to this report, which JKR has threatened to bankrupt the foremost human rights organization in the world over because it accurately called her and her buddies a bunch of bigots working to strip human rights from people.

And under the treaty they signed at Versailles in 1919, the Germans paid less to the Allies in constant dollars than Trump agreed to pay Iran in the surrender instrument he signed there yesterday.
Microsoft reportedly negotiating closures of multiple Xbox studios, including Psychonauts' Double Fine, South of Midnight's Compulsion and Hellblade's Ninja Theory www.eurogamer.net/compulsion-d...
Here's my theory. Big studios like Xbox now are openly saying it's too expensive to make games, there is no money in them. Everyone and their mother is suing Valve to take a piece under the guise of "monopoly". This is bullshit, they just just provide a better service. These AAA (lol) studios (1/?)
... want to raise the prices by a lot, monetise them to fuck and make a killing. That can't happen while Valve offers a good service to people. By having every Tom, DICK, and Harry sue for pennies then Valve is legally tied up. They spend a huge portion on legal fees to defend... (2/3)
... baseless accusations and if they lose even one case, it could escalate further as precedence. Losing any would be bad for Valve, they will survive but it will hurt and the AAA get a dagger into the pie they don't deserve. The goal is to price gamers out of both hardware and software forever. 3/3
Driven by Musk, fuelled by Restore Leader Rupert Lowe and whipped up by the fear mongering rhetoric of Reform and their media outlets.
This is what happens when you stir hatred against migrants.
It end with burning homes and cars and children fleeing for their lives
I tend to block a lot of AI shit. I noticed recently that the count wasn't going down as fast so I started paying attention to people who were constantly reposting AI slop. Turns out out by blocking the main AI sloppers, my feed is almost completely clean. Also blocked the reposters, fuck them too.
I'm a GW1 beta player and I'll admit, I have not yet played the latest GW2 expansion. I'm burned out. Even the news of GW3 has not got me excited because I know it will be a whiiiile. Plus they will likely need to adjust the game after launch. I hope I get more excited closer to release.
I have a Steam backlog of games to play that will outlast another AI crisis and possibly even my own life. You don't need to buy a single game made with AI, ever.
#CrystalDynamics using GenAI for their new #TombRaider game. So disappointing. "But we only used it for..."
What is so hard for developers to understand? "No AI" is a full sentence.
Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.
Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

zohran mamdani announced a plan to seize properties from bad landlords and private equity if tenents suffer from neglect and i genuinely do not think i’ve seen rightwing circles this mad in reaction to anything i’ve ever seen before lol
The fact that his black hand has not healed in months probably means it is dead tissue. Yay for living necrosis. I'm no doctor but I give a him a year. I'm also not a gambler so I could be wrong.
Looking to hire a tradesman for a job and google is just filled with "sponsored" pages, we called them ads back in the day. Lots of dodgy looking facebook pages with no work related pics, defunct websites or clearly written by AI. I hate this current information age & remember how good it used to be
I learned recently that it’s an insult in Germany to call someone “hobbyless” or to engage in “hobbyless behavior” and it’s become my favorite way to think of assholes who have nothing better to do than to make other people miserable. Get a hobby. Build a model train and calm down.
The fact that @theonion.com now owns Infowars (or close to it) has me giggling all day. It also warms my heart to know some of that money will be distributed to the families who suffered under that regime.
It’s important to remember that the goal of lawsuits like the one brought by Kash Patel against the Atlantic isn’t to win, it’s to cost the Atlantic as much money as possible only to drop the suit before discovery, and as red meat for the MAGA base by simply filing it.
“While conducting operations intended to enhance the peacekeeping skills of our troops, a simple target acquisition error regrettably ended in the deaths of over 99.9% of Americans,” said Maj. Gen. Curtis D. Taylor
Nearly finished with AC: Mirage, the last few main missions should be completed at the next stream. If there is time we will start on the DLC.
