For @ign.com: An inside look at how Sony secured GTA as a PS2 exclusive and how it helped the console 'win' that generation.

With new details on the exclusivity deal, how Sony nearly missed out on exclusivity in the US, and how Xbox could've derailed it.

CNBC headline: "Elon Musk’s AI-powered Wikipedia competitor goes live after a rocky launch". I've struck through "AI-powered" in red, and replaced it with "Wikipedia-powered"

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia

"Being told a video game was made with only “0.3%” LLM use is like being handed a glass of water that “only has” a single drop of urine in it. [...] I won’t feel comfortable drinking it—let alone trust you on the actual piss-to-water ratio."

"The more we let companies use GenAI in development, the more we all stand to lose."

As scope increases and budgets shrink, The Alters is a cautionary tale of gaps plugged up by AI, and the backlash that follows.

I reviewed Bounty Star for @ign.com. It is the most personal review I've written in a long time (maybe ever) and I'm very proud of it. It would mean a lot to me if you read it.

Full disclosure: I talk about being suicidal for two years in the opening because I had to. This one hit me pretty hard.

Bounty Star Review - IGN

This combination of mech combat and farming is equal parts compelling and tranquil.

Dark Void is a classic UE3, third-person, cover-based shooter shovelware from a generation full of them. Grab Quantum Theory next if you want a really bad one of those!

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude

How would you describe that worldview?
My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

Also Valentina in the right pic, she was supposed to be the protago of the story.

"Lia Valtiel has Valentina under surveillance who is the Э-32 Lady Area Guard. He is there to prevent the damage from expanding by her frenzied rampage due to 158 Meticaline awakening."

Ninja Gaiden 4 was one of my most anticipated games of the year and I'm not playing it in accordance with the BDS Microsoft boycott, and it turns out that actually nothing bad happens to you if you don't play a video game.
