you show signs of wanting to change the party for the better and they oust you, this party has learned absolutely nothing from 2016, from 2020, and from 2024 and never will

It's so, so infuriating, over and over and over again, to see video game executives who don't know fuck about shit absolutely wreck the creative work of people who have amazing stories to tell, for no fucking reason except "live service make money" is the latest industry truism

#MetalGear Solid Mobile's SoftBank trial version was preserved by Cuebus! This is the second keitai trial version that has been preserved (the other was for EZweb devices). It runs pretty well, too! The full Western release of this game was preserved by @krzbrew last year.

No MGS Collection Volume 2. No new Breath of Fire. Man, some of these companies are doing the blocking for themselves. Suikoden Star Leap coming to Steam at least. Now, can you put it on consoles too?!

this is the intended use of gen-AI btw in case anyone didn't know. they want 10 years of unmitigated unregulated slopfeed programs in all your electronics and the states' electronics so they can cut loose a wave of propaganda that would have made edward bernays and marshall mcluhan blush

Oh wow. So @solfleet.bsky.social did a great write-up about the SGF demo of Onimusha with a lot of context around the original games. I've gone from "What have they done to my boy?!" to being all-in on the new game. Excellent read.

Color me cynical, I just don't believe your average gamer looked at The Veilguard and said some shit like, "Hmm... there are some tonal inconsistencies with the writing..." SkillUp put out a video that reinforced some Gamergate talking points and put the game in the center of a culture war.

I still cannot believe that women’s sports—a topic literally no one but queer women cared about, to the point that every TV show took cheap shots at the WNBA—was the fucking Rubicon for trans genocide.

I'm bummed Onimusha kinda looks like a AAA action/adventure now, but @jamesthecarr.bsky.social did a great write-up for @monstervine.com about it.

Spent six hours on the streets in LA today. I saw peaceful protests, people helping others, handing out water, even helping the elderly. And then the cops throttled a crowd that did NOTHING to incite. Tomorrow I’ll be out again. Stay safe everyone.

It's just a violent military crackdown on peaceful protestors, not something serious like a magazine editor getting fired for being bad at editing.

i think MMOs should really pivot back to one time purchase or subscription based models. idk. i'd rather have that then the 10-15 different currencies and maybe having to dip into your wallet to pay for weapon upgrades, etc. the tldr; i want less "mandatory" monetization in modern MMORPGs

relatedly we should probably emphasize more that the AI algorithms that have been built to cater exactly to these men's preferences almost universally produce sexualized images of women who look like theyre 16
