This is similar to a thought I've had before, in that Pokemon should probably just stop making new Pokemon. It occurred to me during Dexit. With Dexit, both sides were pretty much right. One hand, much of the brand identity is lost when you cannot 'catch them all.' On the other hand, continuing to design, model, animate and code 100~ new mons every year is unfeasible.

And to what end are we adding 100 new mons to the roster every year? Pokemon has wallowed in recreating the same experience for decades now. Three starters, early route rodent, three legendaries, a super duper legendary, some dragons and fish along the way - IMO, ~1,000 mons is a great stopping point. From there they should have just reshuffled mons and leaned on regional variants, and added maybe 2-3 new mons for special occasions.

Had they done that, no dexit, and maintaining a competitive scene in their showdown clone would be a reasonable request.

Seeing wider internet groups implode over the revelation the internet has had massive perverse pedophilic influence since the earliest days of their favourite internet forums (basically 4chan.)

Essessentially, mad that the Marxists were right again.

It's also worth noting Epstein hotlinked the /gif/ board and shared FNAF SFM pornography.

Tf man, wildest twist. Has me even angrier, all that damage and (presumably) loss of life to kidnap a world leader. Americans are going to use the fact they were so 'precise' and 'just went after the president' to justify forgetting about it all and leaving Venezuela to rot.

The US is such an evil country, and sometimes I can only hope history remembers it as a racist warmonger country responsible for so much suffering.

your tesla steers into a group of children crossing the street b/c its grok-based brain deduced it was a woke mob of protestors attempting to box you in. you try to apply the brakes but grok has a prompt hardcoded in urging it to not shy away from politically incorrect actions. seven children are instantly killed and another two are splattered across your windshield. your tesla dings that its time to replace the wiper fluid.

elon retweets the news story weeks later with a one word reply. another twitter user asks grok if its true. grok replies by questioning the veracity of the holocaust

Developer ZA/UM says it’s actually for TikTok users.

“We intend to captivate the TikTok user with quick hits of compelling story, art, and audio, ultimately creating an all new, deeply engaging form of entertainment,” ZA/UM head Denis Havel said in a news release (via IGN).

let's gooooo I can't wait for the subway surfer in-app purchase DLC. no i'm not kidding, the store page marks it as having in-app purchases. something something capital subsuming something.

I love Telltale and Telltale-adjacent games. Those narrative games where you sit back and choose dialogue options and action choices instead of actively playing.

I think a lot of those types of games miss that you have to tell a really good story for any of that to work.

Star Trek: Resurgence looks pretty good, but did anyone here play it? Is it actually good? Or is it Star Trek-flavored slop?

I just finished the Jakarta Method and it left me genuinely dismayed. Not like, astounded with how horrible it all was (I knew it was going to be horrible), but more, it made me put the book down and sit with my feelings of dismay. A little bit nauseous, unsettled, feeling a loss of hope for a lot of ideals I hold.

What a horrible period of history, in a century absolutely full of horrible periods.

That's all. Played Civ since IV and the boardgame-like nature of it meant that I've gotten a lot of friends and family into it as a means to experience video games in general.

Civ VII looks really bad, even if I haven't played it myself. Systems upon systems that aren't properly explained, that somehow feel both cluttered and less in-depth than previous entries. Three truncated games making up the segments of one larger game is lame, too. A bad solution to the problem of people burning out in the later eras.

Most of all, though, is the business model of it all. Civ already leaned into 4X DLC conventions which meant getting the whole package was an expensive endeavor, but at least, for example, Civ VI had just two major expansion packs. Civ VII is already drowning into microtransaction leader purchases.

And then there's, just, the price. It's obscene. Denuvo is devastating to see as it creates a lot of barriers to giving the thing a try. I don't get excited for games any more, but Civ VII would have been one of them.

Anyone try it themselves? Anyone in love? Anyone feel like me?
