AAA games won’t save you but it’s still embarrassing to watch them fumble this badly.

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

I was livid when I realised how good it felt to hit protein macros.

Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique in one of those bad X-Men movies saying “you might want to think about changing the name to Mothwoman”

If her twin turns out to be alive and the secret seventh Yōtei I will combust.

It’ll just be a teaser for the Galaxy movie. That’s baby Rosalina before she was accidentally blipped into space, it’ll be revealed she lived in the burbs outside of Brooklyn when Mario was a kid or something.

I remember when the lyrics for TPD leaked and I balked at the chocolate bar shit, then it was a highlight of the album for me. Art is emotional context!

I truly don’t remember Tsushima struggling with this

Sorry just again on the horses thing; the game’s opening explicitly establishes Atsu’s relationship with her horse but one of the earliest quests has two fully saddled up new ones appear from thin air to make sure gamers get their contractually obligated Choice. I’m losing my mind.

Correct

Cinematic is when you have the black bars.

Okay but it is objectively funny that Sucker Punch arbitrarily hits the letterboxing button every time you ride a horse in Ghost of Yōtei.

Deeply unserious stuff.

The journey I’ve gone on with Babylon from “this is garbage” to “individual scenes are kinda excellent” to “yearly rewatch, perhaps” should be studied.

James W @omgmorejames.bsky.social · 2d

What a way to go though

Still the definitive Elden Ring fan work imo

You know my vision better than my eyesight
You know I kill 'em like I'm playing Fortnite
You know my skin is glittering, Twilight

A meme cartoon thing. Two men yell at each other with visibly small brains, one arguing in favour of the brat album above his head, the other for Life of a Showgirl. Cunty Patrick faces away from them, being cunt, with drag queen Lemon's ZESTINY Vol. 1 above his head.

I have impeccable taste, it’s a curse.

Technically watched Borderlands like two weeks ago, just needed a fourth for the post but having to remember I watched Borderlands was effectively the same art whiplash as above.
