We also need a Hague for those people that make X versus Y banal, useless comparisons on graphics/interactivity/detail.

Oh, a game doesn’t have as detailed of an animation as someone smoking as in RDR2? The water doesn’t ripple the right way?

To the Gallows. You are poisoning the artform.
My even more unpopular opinion is unless you have personally experienced the thing, you should probably refrain from having an opinion on it.

We need to return to shaming people for parroting YouTube/TikTok with stuff like "When I want your opinion, I'll just find the YouTuber who gave it to you."

I’m Prestige 3 Lv 28, have moonstone camo from grinding Endgame, max weapon prestige on the M15 Mod 0, and have two gold camos for ARs.

Been playing way too much Black Ops 7 this weekend with the double xp

Endgame in Black Ops 7 is actually really fun and therapeutic grinding. You can squad up or just go your own ways. Not that dangerous or grindy to get to 60 but great fit farming levels/camos.

Would welcome them exploring this more or adding content

Been getting in to Phasmophobia with friends. Lot of fun. Though, it boggles my mind how long it has been around and the UI/UX is still incomprehensibly bad in many areas.

My nuclear take is if Half-Life 3 gets announced I am going to be INSUFFERABLE about demanding Left 4 Dead 3, which I care about far more.

I realized early on that a spatially constant cross-fade is nice, but for maximum expressiveness, spatial variance is required. We’ve added support for different transitions as a component that’s parented to the associated operation’s scene-tree node. You can even use a two-point Bézier spline...

I genuinely believe that Keeper is one of the game's industry most excellent and exciting achievements of the decade. A seemingly un-pitchable game that stands strong on its core tenets of emotional connection and teaching the player to let go of preconceived game notions. I thoroughly enjoyed it

I always love seeing this bizarre series of Frieren x Halo show up in the feed. Honestly an impressive endeavor by the artist. Masterpiece.

Outlets should use my idea of the Snubbed Game Awards Nominees by putting up a list of titles that aren’t already in the Keighley category nominees per category.

South of Midnight is only in "Games for Impact" whatever that means at this point. Truly one of the best OSTs this year, and if you don't plan on playing, I recommend you check it out anyway.

Black protag = usually won't be considered for a real award, but they want to get points so game is relegated to "impact" awards.

Amazing seeing what was jammed into that category.

Adriyan Rae (Hazel) and Walt Roberts (Catfish) in South of Midnight and gave more range and emotion than Charlie Cox in Expedition 33 by miles. For a celebrity I feel like he phoned it in hard.

South of Midnight not getting either Art Direction, Score, or Performance nom is tragic.

Or Keeper for Art Direction but I didn’t really expect that to given proximity and low key release

Finished 1000xRESIST. I think it was fine, but not something I loved like many others that have talked about it. It is well structured and the entire game having voice acting helps a lot. But some chapters drag a bit and the navigating can be annoying.

Sci-fi / visual novels enjoyers check it out

Finished up my playthrough of The Outer Worlds 2. Enjoyed it and look forward to the DLC.

Was satisfied with my choices and conclusion. I liked the companions, though the companion quests could be weak. I liked Niles and Inez the most, followed by VAL and Marisol. Aza and Tristan were bleh.
