We have to talk about this Disney-fication of games. This ruined WoW and now it's on the way to ruin God of War: Laufey (terrible name). Modern designers seem to have an unquenchable desire to take epic stories with grit and then shove in cute animals, jelly cubes with millennial dialog, dancing sentient "ribbons" and colors dredged from rainbow vomit. This feels like they never grew out of needing a safe space. It feels like they are incapable of adult themes and problems and it feels like a total avoidance of adulthood and accountability. And it's so off putting to see in a God of War game. You might as well have called it something else. It has zero ties aside from the name to the originals. Stop taking games that are supposed to be about war and violence and gritty mythology and turning them into theme-park rides for 5 year olds.

Norwegian media was finally forced to cover Henry's murder this morning. So they made it look like he was the killer 👀

@EuroDale This is WILD.

@MinEffortLive Yes, only a few actual 10/10 games have been released throughout gaming history.

If someone says a video game is a “10/10” it’s probably woke slop

🚨 California Passed "The Stop Nick Shirley Act": This week the California Assembly passed AB 2624. This bill will criminalize investigative journalism involving the immigrant population. It would have made it illegal to expose the Somali "Learing" center if it were in California or the Armenian hospice fraud in LA if they claimed "reasonable fear." The bill protects "immigration support services providers," which means services provided to immigrants, including health care. It has been proven that millions, potentially billions, of dollars in fraud has taken place in "immigrant support services” which includes nonprofits and NGOs the state funds. California is trying to make it harder to expose fraud and scare individuals from investigating it as they could be forced and sued to remove the video, forced to pay attorney fees, and ordered to pay a minimum of $4,000 in damages. This bill was created by Mia Bonta (the attorney general's wife). She has made 4 separate versions of this bill because each version violates the 1st Amendment and is extremely unconstitutional. Plain and simple, California politicians need the fraud to continue because they depend on the fraud to push their agendas. END ALL THE FRAUD.

@tanatana5252 I mean it depends on height obviously, but from those images 40 kg is most attractive.

@Mangalawyer Thanks for the heads up. As a potential customer, I will not be buying it.

Ghotic 1 vs The New Modern Audience Gothic 1 Remake. All Aura gone. Dark times for Mature-Rated Videogames

For those mainly Pakistani men who have inflicted the very worst pain imaginable on innocent British children, please know this. There will come a day when the power of the British state that concealed your atrocious crimes for so very long is turned against you. It will be swift. It will be brutal. It will be severe. Because if Restore Britain gets a sniff of power, there will be a reckoning. I promise you that. We will show you the same mercy you showed our girls. Your race or religion will not protect you any longer. A message will be sent that is heard right across the world. If you rape our children, you will pay for it - and you will pay for it with everything. That is what Restore Britain will do.

@Guyver_I @jondelarroz Are the Conan books genuinely good?

@jondelarroz Depends how you define “epic fantasy”. Personally, I think Conan fits the bill better, as his stories can be pretty epic, even when considering that his stories are “sword and sorcery” instead of “high fantasy”.

Is The Wheel Of Time the best epic fantasy outside of Tolkien?

@jondelarroz Yes. Still devastated about the propaganda that is the WoT TV-series.

@argofowl @jasperdevs It's extremely slow right now. Barely usable for me.

@jasperdevs it's been so so so so strange the past few hours i'm not sore what's going on

codex has lost 60 iq points today, it feels like GPT 4.5

@MissPookems Fallout 76.

‼️GAMERS ONLY‼️ Which game has a soundtrack so good that it lives in your head rent-free?

@fandompulse ”What would bring you to see it?” Will do some research as usual, and if there are zero reports of wokeness from the most anti-woke people on Twitter I might check it out. 6 year old me absolutely loved He-Man. The trailer wasn’t promising though.

Masters of the Universe opens June 5 with a $170-200 million production budget and tracking that puts the opening weekend at $25-35 million. The lead is Nicholas Galitzine, known primarily from gay romance films. The first trailer featured He-Man's desk nameplate displaying "He/Him" pronouns. Jared Leto has attended no press events, skipped the world premiere, and has posted nothing about the film to his 11.4 million Instagram followers. Leto's contractually mandated promotional duties are not being fulfilled. The franchise's core audience is men in their forties and fifties with real nostalgia for the 1982 cartoon and toy line. Whether the film reached them will be answered Thursday night. What would bring you to see it?

@Nick_LoGalbo @UrMomsOnTinder_ @BeanJuiceStudio A newbie will struggle with any game, let alone an MMO. Making a worthwhile MMO that players enjoy is a tremendous challenge for any developer.

@UrMomsOnTinder_ @BeanJuiceStudio It's not super hard, but it is an intermediate feature that a newbie will struggle with. But In order to be good you need a large enough player base, which is hard to get started and it's usually not worth the effort.

Game dev question of the day What's the worst genre for indie devs to make?

@triceworldpipe @BellaBaddie__ ”5) It’s bad for you and viewed by Gen Z the way Millennials viewed smoking cigarettes.” Not nearly to the same extent. Here in Sweden the bars are packed.

1) Being drunk in public is a risk now that everyone has a video camera. 2) Drinking has become very expensive. 3) Historically men drank and went out to meet women… online dating and social isolation have made that far less likely. 4) Other addictions have superseded it in popularity. 5) It’s bad for you and viewed by Gen Z the way Millennials viewed smoking cigarettes.

Serious Question: The alcohol industry has lost $830 billion in the last 4 years, because Gen Z is not drinking. Why do you think they aren’t drinking?

@Commentary4us @kabrutusdeid No messaging, in this game? You can’t be serious. It might have been true if the game was overall free of messaging, but it’s riddled with it. I assure you, this was written by an activist.

@kabrutusdeid Its not. Its just a female being cheeky in the game. There's no messaging you can even keep the poster

...and that's a negative how, exactly?

@vxylily Cmon, you know it’s true.

Is this true 🤔

@TheAriaVeil @vxylily I appreciate it honestly. Nose rings makes it easy to know who to stay clear off 🥂

@vxylily dear men: what makes u think we do things like this thinking about what u like?

@slythwalker_28 You mentioned the single good thing to have come out of the franchise in literally decades. It’s dead as rock.

The “Star Wars is dead” thing just falls apart when you remember Andor S2 dropped literally a year ago, and people from all ages praise it. It’s Mando & Grogu that didn’t click, that’s it

Anyone who used a computer between 1985-2010. What’s the one game you still think about?
