The specific example he gives in here is so funny. Like, couldn't have picked a more self defeating example than photoshop, the piece of software where its users are extremely vocal about literally preferring the version from a decade ago lmao

Not exactly a beach, but the model viewer in this game is lovely, a delight for model and diorama lovers.

I feel real bad for Grasshopper Manufacture. There's the Lollipop Chainsaw remake whose developer says there'll be "no DEI" in the game. Then there's the Let it Die sequel that's jammed up with AI. They have nothing to do with/no input on either game. This is what happens when you don't own your IP!

Very curious about the drive behind this. Are there enough 40 year olds who liked one tree hill but also scifi that paramount decided to make a whole show for them? It feels like they're going more niche than ever? An unusual choice at the very least.

I had a talk with Ben from lizardcube (mostly) about Shinobi: art of vengeance. We got into the weeds about background vs foreground art and combat system philosophies.
