“This man burned 100s of millions of dollars and got his studio closed by his bad decisions and inability to manage. It is his fault that he destroyed people’s lives.”
“Y’know what? He pinky promised it wasn’t him. Let’s LET HIM DO IT AGAIN.”

AI users think if the process takes a ton of time and it's grueling, then it must be art. Someone I know thought they had a gotcha argument for AI and admitted their 4min video took them months of work. No, that makes me even sadder. That's time you could have been learning/making something of value

I'm enjoying the new Metroid, but it's also a game I could rant about for like... an hour. So many odd choices. Scanning to unlock ALL interactables (elevators, hook points, buttons), no pausing in cutscenes, no skipping cutscenes. weird desert, green crystals, convoluted control scheme. It's weird.

"Birth of the Homunculus"
A sorceress astounded by her creation.
This painting has been floating around in my head for months now, and I only found the right time to bring it to fruition yesterday!

This is correct.
The correct Doom 3 experience is the original one, where you must choose between having your flashlight or your weapon equipped.
