Burps in the restaurant area of the transit station map. Farts in the bathroom of the same map. 1/10000 chance when approaching them and waiting ~30 seconds. Maybe one or two others I cant recall.

Literally all of society hates this abominable scam homunculus and the weird little death cult bubble of vampiric losers who spewed it forth upon the world. Take a break from bragging about how gullible you are and give yourself a swirlie and stuff yourself in a locker and sort yourself out.

I just remembered to be mad at the fact that, I'm told, none of the people who worked on VTMB2 at Hardsuit before it was ripped from them by Paradox and shat out by The Chinese Room ended up being credited, only Special Thanksed. Who else wants to get mad

New York’s hottest #ttrpg is Arrhenius. IT. HAS. EVERYTHING.
✅Exploding dice
✅Psychotropic eel poop
✅Feral AI
✅Human snowpants
(What’s “human snowpants”?)
It’s that thing of when a robot decides it isn’t human enough so it skins you and wears it out on the glaciers.

A lot of modern internet discourse feels like people grew up watching YouTubers who exaggerate everything for engagement and thought that was how you're supposed to behave

I think we all assume that a not-small number of Gerudo are lesbians or bi, but I believe this is the first time Nintendo has officially said “Yeah these bitches are gay. Good for them!”

Some of the original devs involved in this. Glad they get to revisit something they put a lot of love and time into, that's a rare opportunity.
Now that the launch of Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity is out the way, ArenaNet has just announced Guild Wars Reforged; a new package of the original game, with some updates and improvements.

Gods this is so real.
Realism is a technical still, sure! It shows your understanding of a medium, of light, or the ability to copy a photo. But it's not everything. It's not the ONLY thing.
You can make amazing non-realistic art.
You can make amazing stylized art.
Cute, funky, weird, great art.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.
