Most of the dreams I remember are what I guess you would call the 3rd person where I’m watching myself go through the dream. It’s hard to explain. It’s kind of like watching a movie while also being an actor in the movie if that makes sense.

I haven’t even heard of half of these shows, let alone watched them. Who even has time to watch all of these?

Once again fans are stepping up to help Bethesda patch up their latest release. Still, the fact that there are no city maps is just kind of baffling. I could understand a bad map or a confusing map, but just a bunch of icons in blank space? It still feels like it should be a glitch even though it is apparently completely intended.

I mean I guess it’s better than amplifying misinformation, but it’s still a cop-out to get out of moderating the topic. Mildly curious just how many topics Threads censors search results for.

If/when this game releases I’m looking forward to the videos and articles charting the troubled development cycle from start to finish. At this point, there has to be a lot of material there.

Obviously, GameStop has a vested interest in discs sticking around, but it feels like that ship has sailed. Can’t remember the last time I bought a physical game and it wouldn’t surprise me if the next generation of consoles do away with disc drives altogether. Not really sure how to feel about that. Kind of sad having grown up using discs, but at the same time, it just feels inevitable that consoles are going to move to digital-only distribution.

The IATSE discussing unionization is good, actually unionizing is even better. Although, I’m not sure how much unionization would actually do to curb crunch culture. It will obviously help on some level, but with the idea of crunching so ingrained in the industry, I feel like it will take a while for anything to change.

Generally, what you have on the list is what I want to see from a gaming news outlet. I especially like the idea of focusing on older games, mods, niche communities, and that sort of thing. I guess if there was more of something I wanted to see in games journalism it’s more in-depth coverage of gaming topics and less rushing to cover the latest AAA release. I’d much rather be reading a long-form article about microtransactions or watching a video essay on the possibility of a video game actor strike than reading about where to find the best ship or weapon in Starfield. Of course, I’m just some random person on the internet, so take that all with a grain of salt.

Yeah. At least when nuclear war was the existential threat hanging over humanity you had the comfort that it would all be over in an instant. Now we get to watch a slow unraveling of civilization over decades while things continue to get worse. Fun times.

Disappointing. Obviously, there’s no way to tell whether the game would have actually been good or not, but stepping away from the Ubisoft formula and taking some inspiration from Elden Ring would have been a step in the right direction.

I mean, yeah America’s rightward spiral is depressing, especially if you live there. But it’s not exactly an American-exclusive phenomenon. Italy elected a far-right party, France might in their next Presidential election, and even Germany’s far-right party is surging in the polls. Honestly, I’m struggling to think of a country that hasn’t seen a massive rightward surge over the last few years.

I enjoyed the demo they put out for this, definitely nailed the cozy exploration aspect. Looking forward to picking it up when it launches.

I didn’t know a Twin Peaks game was something I needed in my life. Looking forward to the full release.

Honestly, I’m surprised the 360 store was still up and running. At least purchases can still be downloaded and backward compatibility means most of these games will still be accessible.

Just showed up one day and made himself at home? Keeps falling asleep? Terry and the cats are kindred spirits.

Xitter? Are people not just continuing to call it Twitter? Maybe if it ever becomes the everything app Musk wants it to be it will be distinct enough to justify a rebrand, but for right now it’s just Twitter with the name filed off.

Is there any other way to eat a mozzarella stick? Assuming the cheese hasn’t leaked out.

It sounds like a dumb idea, but I kind of see where he’s coming from at least that it would be easier for developers. Admittedly consoles today are a lot closer in specs than they use to be, but you still have issues crop up like Larian Studios having to delay BG3 for Series X because they have to get split-screen working on Series S before it can launch. So I can see the appeal of only having to develop games on one console. But I don’t really see the benefit to players, since whoever made the one console would have a monopoly on the market.

I mean I don’t think the pirates needed their permission, but it’s a nice gesture at least. Accepting the reality that people will pirate your games makes for much better PR than trying to crack down on it through DRM.

I would say B. Also, you would need a bigger basket for the head to fall into and probably a few more people on hand if you wanted to lift the head up to display to the crowd.
