  • Borderlands 4 coming to Steam in 2025

    Jump

  • I'm hoping they learned their lesson with 3. I liked many of the changes to game mechanics but the story and characters were awful. Plus the idea that basically every woman is a siren is just a little worn out.

  • When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Walz is the DEI hire.

    Jump

  • Would be interesting to see the GOP try to run with this messaging. As much as they hate "dei hires" they would jump all over that part, but seeing that it benefitted a white male would likely make them short circuit.

  • We meet at first light! - Chris and Jack (fantasy/D&D parody)

    Jump

  • This guy looks like Chris Elliot to me.

  • Former GTA dev says 'it's time for a revolution' where 'animation is more AI-driven and physics-driven' than done by hand

    Jump

  • I wonder how much things like drift and recursion (ai training on its own data) would have on applications like this. I assume it's like most and it it would just produce nonsense. But since it would likely result in cuts to the animation staff, I'd think recovery from model collapse would be harder since getting new data takes time, staff resources that would be hard build up while in the middle of development.

  • Same. It's nice to have a way to quickly look through a bunch of options (even if 95% of them are shitty Chinese counterfeits). I'll even look through the reviews and see if anything glaring jumps out. But I haven't been a prime member since they put ads in prime video and haven't really missed it.

  • Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales?

    Jump

  • Just got Stardew Valley. I'm a little reluctant to start it though- it seems like one of those games I could sink hundreds of hours into and I have a huge backlog. But I'm excited to try it.

  • Phone calls still assume the people on the receiving end are attached to a desk.

    Jump

  • I think context makes a difference on whether a call is welcome or not, appropriate or not.

    If the email asks me to write out a bunch of info I know off the top of my head, just call me. Don't make me write out something that I can just tell you much faster.

    If you're asking something that kicks off a conversation going back and forth like if you need help walking through something, sending emails back and forth is annoying and dumb. Knocking it out in one call is faster and easier than exchanging 15 emails.

    On the other hand, if you don't need an answer right away, if you need documents or images or if you need to communicate about something that requires a record of the communication, email is better.

    I have been annoyed equally by getting calls and emails when people use them for things when they aren't ideal.

  • Obsidian CEO responds to worries Xbox could shut them down, too: 'I'm not worried about tomorrow'

    Jump

  • Yep. Even if he was concerned he wouldn't want to express that publicly, because his teams would all start jumping ship. Then he'd have an actual delivery problem on his hands and the chance of closure would be much higher.

    That said, any studio owned by Microsoft should be worried. They demonstrated that even producing popular, highly-acclaimed games isn't enough for them, so there doesn't seem to be a way to keep them happy.

  • Devolver Direct 2024: Everything Announced - IGN

    Jump

  • Excited to see more updates coming to Cult of the Lamb. I enjoyed the hell out of the main campaign and recent update.

    Tried the Anger Foot demo a while back and it was okay. I may grab the full version depending on price. The aethetic is fun and interesting and the kicking mechanic is pretty satisfying.

  • What are your favourite moments in videogames?

    Jump

  • The story in Horizon Forbidden West is pretty good too. There's a whole bit in the dlc about Ted Faro that I did not see coming, but it makes me think a lot of the tech bros running things today.

  • Older gamers are a growth opportunity for AA(A) publishers – here is how to capture it [23% PCGamers are 55+]

    Jump

  • I don't understand why this isn't discussed more openly by studios and publishers. Instead, they all seem to be trying to milk more money from the teets of and gen z gamers who are worried about things like buying a home or even paying for groceries. They keep driving more games to live service, or paid DLCs that 20 years ago would have been part of the base game or free updates. Why not go for a new market instead of fighting over the little money that most younger gamers have to spend?

  • Next iteration in “one of 2K’s biggest and most beloved franchises” to be announced at Summer Game Fest 2024 Showcase

    Jump

  • Oh awesome. I'll have to try it again. I have a couple hundred hours in xcom 1 and play long war from time to time. Exciting to have a 'new' game to play!

  • Next iteration in “one of 2K’s biggest and most beloved franchises” to be announced at Summer Game Fest 2024 Showcase

    Jump

  • And then there's XCOM... which thankfully 2 is amazing.

    Really? It wouldn't play on my machine back when it first came out so I returned it and never went back after seeing a ton of negative reviews about the timed missions. Did they update that part or was the bad feedback overblown?

  • Just got a fantastic gift from my husband :)

    Jump

  • Lol it's so funny you say that. I got this because I've been wanting to consolidate 4 different drives in my gaming pc (about 5TB total). But as soon as I saw this I thought 'why should I get rid of perfectly good drives? I can have 17TB instead of 12'. It feels like I've got the seeds of a bad habit growing lol.

  • Remedy Entertainment cancels premium co-op multiplayer game ‘Codename Kestrel’

    Jump

  • Honestly it's probably for the best. Remedy is great at rich world building and stories, but I'm not sure that a coop multi-player game is really something I'd be all that jazzed about coming from them. Just get me Alan Wake 2 on steam and Control 2 please.

  • Bethesda Softworks to close Arkane Austin [Redfall], Tango Gameworks[Hi-Fi RUSH,The Evil Within], Alpha Dog Games[mobile games], and Roundhouse Studios [remnants of Human Head Studios: Prey,Rune]

    Jump

  • Ugh.

    They don't all need to be 10-year development AAA games. Maybe we need more than another 150+ hr, $80 game. These studios were doing good stuff that checked a lot of boxes and now they're gone or stuck with Microsoft making more starfield updates.

  • Little Kitty, Big City out May 9th 2024

    Jump

  • Looks a little like Untitled Goose Game with a cat.

    I approve.

  • So true

    Jump

  • St Louis has "keytar guy". He sets up at random intersections in the city and jams out on his keyboard. He's usually sporting a mullet and is shirtless with cutoff jean shorts. He's pretty good and is entertaining as hell.

  • Take-Two Interactive Software to lay off 5% of workforce [~600 people affected]

    Jump

  • It sucks that in pretty much every case, when a company is successful enough to acquire another, they somehow immediately become cash strapped to the point that they have to lay people off.

    I know business people will say it's more complicated than that, but I don't think it is or needs to be.
