Echoing the asinine Cyberpunk 2077 critiques expressing disappointment that the story didn't focus entirely on toppling the megacorps and Ending Capitalism, and that it also let you Work With Cops. As if the way the story handled both of these things isnt, you know, the entire fucking point.
Someone noted that our game failed to solve capitalism and it reminded me how disappointed I was when the Jodie Foster film Contact didn't explain what happens when we die.

Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.
Two months after firing over Charlie Kirk comments, Ghost of Yotei dev blames harassment campaign, not 'bad joke'

I really hope Duskbloods comes to PC or something later. It's fine that it's a collab between Nintendo and FROM, I just dont care about the business more than the practicality and usability. I dont really think any multilayer game benefits from a singular, closed ecosystem.

Ishii is just doing the polite and interesting thing of providing a meaningful answer that echoes her character and taste, instead of the predictable, boring thing of blowing the horn on her own project. "The thing I was in/made" is a nothing answer. Im glad she said otherwise, genuine or not.
It is extremely funny to me that Erika Ishii said this in a year she was the protagonist in a major video game

Battlefield 6 has standard XP levelling, like every big shooter post Modern Warfare. It also has a season pass, that can only be progressed by completing weekly season pass challenges for season pass tokens. There's now an event pass within the season, with its own set of event token challenges.

Cloudflare seems fucked? And Half-Life 3 hasn't been announced.

We're getting into "muggy Melbourne weather" territory which means my mood is right on track to tank. Humidity is the death of me. I prefer cooler temperature in general, but you can give me a scorching, dry high 30°C's and a sick part of me will enjoy it. Dry heat is escapable. Humidity is not.

Alien Resurrection is a crappy Alien film, paired against its three predecessors (yes, including Alien 3), but it's an absolutely magnificent campy horror. Jean-Pierre Jeunet's directorial fingerprint is all over it, particularly the physical humour and how textural everything is.

Booked in for a double whammy of colonoscopy and gastrocopy in a couple of weeks. Yeah motherfuckers assess those organs.

Abstractly, even with it getting completely gutted, it'd be kinda amusing if Half-Life 3 got announced the same year VtM: Bloodlines 2 dropped.

How long until game publishers start rebranding, or using obtuse marketing buzzwords to refer to, generative AI and their use? "Digitally assisted production tools (DAPT)", "Augmented development pipeline (ADP)".
