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.

Trust me when I say we are currently in a Renaissance of knock off Game Boys. There has never been less of a need to buy a War Crime Game Boy than right now

its very telling that critics in more left leaning spaces are obviously bummed out about corporations destroying the teams that worked on games they were often heavily critical of whereas grifters are reacting to bioware, 343 etc as personal victories in the war against blue hair and pronouns

Don’t know how to say it other than, creatives are currently enduring an Era of Punishment from rich people who just despise people with functioning brains.

Once again thinking about how Visceral my reaction to Maajular's Ultima Retrospective series was at the moment EA got involved. That series is like watching a fuckin slowmotion trainwreck of every single person that ruined the Games Industry getting their start by fucking that franchise over.

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely. Coward hasn’t even drawn h

I’m thrilled to announce Final Fantasy Resonance is terrific, and devastated to announce Vaan is one of the most useful visions in the game. Thanks to GI for letting me review it! ❤️❤️❤️

It may have one foot planted in the series' history, but in a time when mainline Final Fantasy is still figuring itself out, Final Fantasy Resonance is easy to recommend. Our review: gameinformer.com/review/final...

Damn it's almost like treating your kids as property or relying on them as extensions of yourself is a bad idea?! I'm very lucky to have great parents but insane how much self awareness some of these parents lack.

FFXIV players you can't just be saying "omega raids" around me. I'm gonna hit back with some shit like "yeah you bet I'm raiding an omega at least once a day"

One million or dinner with Jay Z is so easy. I pick the spot. Get him to shake on paying. We go to whats clearly a garage with white sheets everywhere to make it look fancy. Lawn chairs. My smart friend is the matter d, my dumb friend is the chef. Jay asks for a water. The price? 2 million dollars.

I've said it in other words but Angeline era is about the joy of walking into a costco and seeing this and moving on with your life, while checklistvanias feel a bit more like checking off all the food stalls to eat at in a disneyworld

🧚ANGELINE ERA!!👼🏼 Now Out!@angelineera.bsky.social

Thank you! We deliberately designed AE to contrast against the checklist-focused exploration of metroidvanias, in favor of something less guided, and more about players making meaning from "being in the middle of what is happening in the world even if confused" vs. "uncovering what happened"

The developer behind Teach My Little Sister How to Drive, a driving generative AI-powered instruction sim, has been spending $1000 a day to keep the demo running, and now, they've had to take out a bank loan to keep up. https://bit.ly/4rWqe8g

I think alot of this debate comes down to whether you emotionally empathize with renters or landlords and then you work backwards to justify your opinion by inventing a language that appears rational. Me, I'm pro rent control because I empathize with renters. Simple as.
