@Alguien58606351 @Genki_JPN Keep raging about your superiors broccoli head, that still won’t make you any less of the most irrelevant, brain fried generation to have ever existed. Literal children in gen alpha are already more relevant than the trash of gen z

@Genki_JPN PlayStation wanted Japan Studio to also make 300M$ boring over the shoulder interactive Hollywood movies with propaganda and millennial writing instead of fun games.

Shuhei Yoshida says Japan Studio was closed down because PlayStation wanted AAA games, not AA games, and Japan Studio was unable to scale up “Players from around the world have said that it's unbelievable that Sony would shut down Japan Studio. Japan Studio released loads of games, creative games, didn't it? At that time I was saying something similar.” "At that time, as the head of development, I was worried about [Keiichiro] Toyama [creator of Silent Hill] and the other Japanese developers at Japan Studio. But while they came up with a lot of creative ideas, the games they made weren't big in scale. What we call AA games are a perfect fit for the PlayStation Vita, but we were slowly shifting to AAA on the PS4 and PS5, and sometimes it's difficult to scale up like that." "As a company, PlayStation wanted to drive hardware sales with games like God of War and Uncharted, because that's the kind of game that's in demand. It's hard for Japan Studio to launch a new series on console." He urges players who loved Japan Studio to support the creators that worked there’s new games like Slitterhead and Ratatan. gamesradar.com/games/action/f…

@europa Bet $5 she tried to get involved with the production when it was first talked about and got shot down

Classicist Emily Wilson has written that Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey is "abysmal." Wilson's translation of the epic was the inspiration for Nolan's adaptation. Follow: @europa

@Variety Let’s estimate the box office right now had the screenplay been written by Emily

#TheOdyssey translator Emily Wilson slams Christopher Nolan's movie over "abysmal" writing: “I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.” “Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’ lacks many of the elements that make the poem great. It has nothing convincing to say about time, memory, history, war, or bout the relationship between one warrior’s glorious return and the lives of his family, adversaries, comrades, friends and neighbors. It lacks psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth. Its narrative structure is gimmicky. The writing is abysmal. None of the characters has convincing motivation for their actions or words. There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.” (via London Review of Books/The Guardian). variety.com/2026/film/news…

@crunchyrugger He’s not actually in jail the way you think. He’s in an SHU, a special housing unit. Basically he is, for lack of a better term, under house arrest at the prisons housing complex.

can anybody explain to me why Andrew Tate has a cell phone in jail?

@scionti_design So by Lumen Medium I assume you mean the new Lumen Lite? How has the it been for you so far? I haven't had time to put together a proper scene to A/B test but I'm curious if it looks good enough to bother even for full projects not targeting weak hardware but wanting higher fps

Screenshots directly from Steam Deck for Whispers in the Fog. Using Unreal Engine 5.8 Lumen Medium and Nanite.

@Georgiscoming @AnonimoGames_ "Who cares" says retard who just proclaimed he was going to pirate it because he cares so much he just has to play it and can't ignore it

@AnonimoGames_ I'm gonna pirate it lol, who cares about remasters anymore

Wolfenstein (2009) is likely getting remastered and shadow dropping at this years Quakecon. It has had its original release date removed and is now being listed as Steam Deck verified. The game is currently de-listed on all digital store-fronts.

@dell39805775 @AnonimoGames_ No, you moron. That means Valve updated their database and shifted the listing number along with the other 92 games. All those games, including this, still needed to be fucking updated and changed for it to be part of that list update to begin with.

@AnonimoGames_ Stop mistaking every SteamDB update for a potential remaster. See that little text: "This changelist affected 93 items"? That means the update was automatic, and no one at Bethesda/ID Software/Activison/Raven Software/Nightdive/Microsoft even knows about it.

@pcgamer So? It clearly works and by doing so they've also ensured they've got the Xbox 360 emulation working too so games from both consoles are now viable to release. Does PC Gamer do anything but scrape the barrel looking for gamer chud outrage to ignite?

The 'backward compatible' Xbox games on PC run on an OG Xbox emulator inside an Xbox 360 emulator pcgamer.com/gaming-industr…

@JordanSchachtel Overpaying and wasting. Scrapping 100% functional tanks just to build new ones to replace them so the contractors get paid a lot of money, shit like that. The military could function the exact same as it does now at half the cost of all this wasteful shit was cut out

Trillion dollar a year military spending and we can’t handle sustained conflict for a few months? Where is all the money going?

@SSG3800 @DEADLINE @MarvelStudios Out of the country actors? Do you think Wakanda is in America too?

@DEADLINE Bro stop this shit @MarvelStudios stop getting this out of the country black men trying to play part they know nothing absolutely about at all. I’m starting a boycott We tell y’all what to give us not the other way around.

Huge applause for David Jonsson - the new Black Panther announced in Marvel Comic-Con panel | #SDCC

@Afevis In the changelog here you have SMAA as “Screen Morphological Anti-Aliasing”, that should be Subpixel, not Screen

MGSHDFix 4.0.0 released! Depth of field now FULLY fixed in both MGS2 & MGS3 at all resolutions. All of MGS2's broken graphic effects are restored too! SMAA support, CRT Gamma Correction, and plenty more features and fixes in there as well. ♥ github.com/ShizCalev/MGSH…

@DomaEUW @StormslayerDev Just discovering the Microsoft cartel huh? Defender flags all unsigned exes, and to get them signed you have to pay Microsoft $3000.

@StormslayerDev ?

Skate 3 has been 100% recompiled for PC. It's reached it's 2.0 update which introduces a fully native renderer enabling 2x+ the FPS at 1/4 the GPU power, and Apple Silicon went from 25 to 250 FPS at 4K. Originally starting with rexglue, progression has advanced far enough to fully abandon its reliance on emulation via xenia for GPU rendering. This is proof of what's possible, there is plenty to be excited for! Go try it out!!

@JosiahPahukoa @StormslayerDev You chuds can invent a reason to cry over everything

@StormslayerDev The epidemic of remasters and old games being brought back from the ashes because there are no new good games anymore.

@livmo04_Ishin @StormslayerDev Crazy! A virus so good only dogshit literal nobody virus scanners detect it but all the top ones don’t

@StormslayerDev Windows Defender flagged this as a Trojan got curious and put it into virustotal and this happened

@sean_gause I don’t CARE what they’re trying to emulate. If you’ve got motion blur, grain, aberration, etc I’m turning it off and if I can’t turn it off I’m not buying your game

I don't think you can just say "games should never have film grain". Some games are TRYING to emulate the look of film. Lens flares, color grading, grain, etc. I don't see that as a bad thing. My game is meant evoke 1960s westerns, and they had film grain.

I think people have survivorship bias for postprocessing. It's easy to dislike effects that are implemented poorly. Plenty of games do a great job. Indiana Jones spent a lot of time emulating the look of the c-series anamorphic lenses used for the movies, and it looks great.

@JohnaldsonD @cupcakedsohard @Z3R0MUSTDIE @freakdeuxchic @notnotdylm Why? You’d be erasing yourself since the blind dipshit who fucked your mom and spawned you wouldn’t be around

@cupcakedsohard @Z3R0MUSTDIE @freakdeuxchic @notnotdylm man i wish

I feel like buying premade grilled cheese is some of the most bumlike behavior imaginable

@Uh7242490210899 @freakdeuxchic @notnotdylm Nice larp there able bodied asshole trying to win an argument. Disability isnt a blanket universal restriction that affects everyone equally, there is a wide margin between opening a box and handling extremely hot pans

@dave1oakns @sarobertson_ @LucaR2005 It will not be reversed and you're fucking delusional, just like EVERY first term Trump tariff on Canadian lumber and metal was maintained and continued by Biden. Stop thinking ANY American is our ally, they are jingoists and they are an adversary.

@sarobertson_ @LucaR2005 The good news is that once Donald Trump is out of office, his illegal coercion can likely be reversed. Further Canada will likely be able to go after the Moroun family to recoup its losses.

Martin Patriquin on the Gordie Howe Bridge deal: "It's literally a mob boss shakedown, what they did. Coming in at the last minute, at the behest of a competing bridge and using that saying, 'We don't like this deal, we're going to have to redo it.' And we don't have much of a choice because the bridge has to open."

@sarobertson_ And by bending the knee like the spineless cucks you are you've ensured this will happen on every single future project going forward because you've proven it works, free bridge for America at no cost.
