It’s funny because this was the first thing I thought of when going around some of the buildings in ZA 🤣

Hey @valvesoftware.com, you know what would be really rad? If we could filter out games that used AI in pre or post production while we browse through Next Fest demos.

Might also give you some interesting data on how people feel about AI games. Could be fun, could be cool

If Microsoft wants to win Xbox gamers back, they ought to look at Nintendo.

Nintendo makes great games run flawlessly on underpowered hardware. They prioritize art and design over raw power and tech specs.

That's how you beat Sony, because their approach has always been to be a jack of all trades.

Going to continue posting my ZA journey on this thread. And spoilers I guess, although very early on. But these photos of Sycamore are adorable!

Would be really cool if sexy French professor showed up to some capacity in this game.

Man make me someone’s boss! Because if it was up to me, and an employee told me they wanted to take the day off to play a new game that was coming out, you bet your ass they’d get that time off 🤣

Legends ZA is out sure but technically not out in all regions and I’m already seeing YouTube videos saying “HERES EVERY MEGA IN LEGENDS ZA” with the thumbnail being megas that have clearly not been announced yet 🤦🏾‍♂️

All I ask, is give me a Volo styled fight in ZA. That shit was peak 🔥

Play Along Podcast @playalong.bsky.social · 1d

I’m also very much down with modding and emulation. But my problem is when it’s brand new releases and people complain about not wanting to pay the money because it “doesn’t look worth the price” and then proceed to emulate the new game instead. That’s not cool.

So happy you were able to snag the Let’s Go Eevee copy you were looking for.

Playing the LOVE ETERNAL demo instead of sleeping! Horror precision platformer with a female protagonist are all of my favorite words put together 😩
