Loved this game,this was at a point where my bestie was super into fighting games like Tekken and Tobal and I was desperately trying to find my own niche so say hello to Psychic Force, Evil Zone and Ehrgeiz 😂

Do you ever get those vibes at night though?

When you are like, fuck it I am going to do Bloody Mary?

Get two Bloody Mary's in and absolutely shit yourself and run out the bathroom?

Just me?

I think it also depends on when you first see it. I first watched it in my mid twenties & the sorta soap opera personal fueds along with the mirroring of 0079 and Z kinda made it a bit flat for me. But after watching a good few Gundam shows now I defo think you eventually find a style of preference

On my hols in the Lake District. Cruising on a boat over the lakes. Sipping a brandy infused coffee in the sun.

I spent ungodly amounts of time playing VF2 as Lion and probably even more time with the disc in my cd player playing the soundtrack

So happy that the second is getting the remaster treatment. They say Kickstarter and I say I will be there!

Remember demo discs and magazines?

I would argue they were the best tools for discovery.

Eurogamer @eurogamer.bsky.social · 16d

Game Pass is now far from cheap, but for some consumers - especially families - it's become a genuine means of finding far more diverse kinds of games to play.

Opinion: If Xbox Game Pass dies, then we'll have lost one of gaming's best tools for discovery.

I used to be an absolute Xbox die hard but over the last couple of years they have just become so irrelevant. Think I will mainly be on the PS5 and Switch going forward.

Alister Almond @alsgaminglounge.bsky.social · 17d

I know 😂. Good luck to them. I think they are really overestimating on people who love the Xbox brand.

My sub lasts until November but not renewing it, just deleted all the PC games and app from my PC. Absolutely done with the melts at Xbox. Continued downward spiral over the last few years.

All my savings will be wasted to trading card games of various different series 😂

Yeah I can see myself not being that bothered not having game pass. Most of the stuff out on it these days I don't have huge interest in. Will feel odd not to have it but Xbox is like the ultimate in failed console society.

#GamePass subs about to crater. Glad I can finally free myself of this.

Also just a random question but has a playable build of the cult classic Frame City Killer ever been found? We need justice for Frame City.

Alister Almond @alsgaminglounge.bsky.social · 18d

I think they mean is it a known game? Publicly revealed. Not just this was in dev for years and nobody knew about it.

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:
