TV Shows color use to invoke feeling, for example Will Trent's use of soft yellows and lower values versus the more blue colder analytical colors in Lie to Me was a discussion for 3 hours today with some movie directors that happened to randomly be patrons lol. One of the best god damned discussions I have had with people.

@riellycooperr @8BitClosedFist @SkillUpYT Well thanks man

@8BitClosedFist If there's a game I'm on the fence about the first place I look is @SkillUpYT and @JeremyPenter

Gamers have been saying "no one cares about ign reviews" while steadily talking about IGN reviews for literally the last 10 YEARS

@KatieV32721177 Oh you already played it? Didnt get a chance to jump back in. But I asked what your playing and liking!

@JeremyPenter Definitely not trash like Mixtape

What game are you loving-playing right now? I am doing some Mixtape and some X4 on PC.

@symondoz Didnt get a chance to leap back in after practice. Will probably today.

@JeremyPenter Would you class mixtape as a game ?

@PepeVonHonkler hahah. Did someone accuse you of that? Its a weird world. People will always try to hid their ken doll lack of balls in a panic post if someone likes something.

@JeremyPenter Lmfao “I’m loving mixtape, I swear. I definitely didn’t just cash a check to post this.”

Nintendo raises prices to thank gamers for long term fandom, Valve realized what year,, XBOX made some small fake changes to suck in dumb tubers so do video's about a turnaround, Bungie burns its house down to stay warm And more! Stop on by for good talk, some game give aways and more. youtube.com/live/fSL_79HUG…

@Septic_Sauce @nib95_ If you ever get a chance. To really blow your mind. Spend a nice afternoon researching their purchases and splits and comments from those on both sides each time. I got so much shit for telling people to fucking READ. But the data was literally there.

@JeremyPenter @nib95_ It was always a desperate knee-jerk reaction purchase to ABK and as time goes on...clearly woefully ill-advised.

#PlayStation FY25 Q4 results. From Jan to March 31 2025. Revenue - $6.8bn (-3%) ❌ Operating Income - $360m (-41%) ❌ OI sans Bungie IL - $948m (+54%) ✅ PS5 Hardware - 1.5m (-46%) ❌ Network Services (+21%) ✅ Game Software - $4.2bn (-2%) ❌ Full game units - 74.6m (+1.4%) ✅ Monthly Active Users - 125m (+1%) ✅ Lifetime total of #PS5 is 93.7m. Playstation is starting to see notable hardware decline typical of the later stages of a console life cycle, and with it overall revenue decline. Operating income is also down heavily, but only because PlayStation issued impairment losses of ¥88.6bn ($588m) "against Bungie's intangible and other assets". If it weren't for that, profit would be up a huge amount. Network services also see's strong growth, while MAU and full game software are up, but near flat. Again, I can only wonder if GTA6, Wolverine, Intergalactic etc can reverse typical late cycle declines, especially with the insanely high console prices. USD to Yen currency exchange was based on the average Sony themselves provided, per the financial report.

@Septic_Sauce @nib95_ You could also say completely Sony's fault. You don't buy a burning house because its tagline is "Stays warm in winter" Anyone who tracked that company all the way back to its first purchase. Sees a line of guilt pointing like a solar flare to the cause.

@nib95_ Do you think Bungie is a failed acquisition?

@HazzadorGamin Honestly very very very much people want lies. There is a comfort in it.

I have been posting about Games for Yrs and i never undertood why especially console user act so strangely when you give your honest thoughts or opinions. You want me to lie and say things you wanna hear? cause of your Bias for specific brand...i could do that like many others.

Its been a pretty damned busy week in games. Will be fun to return to the podcast. Fake moves by huge companies, Valve realized what a reservation system is, Nintendo thanks gamers by raising prices on their console Pretty much just ALL GOOD NEWS lol.

Update #5 is live! The launch was rough, as we all know. We’ve spent time since launch listening, reading feedback, watching streams, fixing systems and tightening the experience across the board. This update improves combat flow, enemy behavior, traversal, driving, mission logic, stability and performance. We’ve also cleaned up a lot of frustrating bugs, mission blockers and edge cases players reported. #SAMSON is built by a small team under pressure, but that doesn’t change our responsibility. We’re committed to making the game better with every update and there is more to come. store.steampowered.com/news/app/36345…

What the hell are you playing right now?

Now go out and make Living Darkness. A game where you are a zombie fighting against the humans. You can do it. JK no more zombies! Good on ya and good luck.

Every single change of leadership usually resolves down into the 7 stages of grief anyway.
