Any debate on these 6 (the 6 highest rated games on Metacritic this year) being the TGA GOTY candidates on Monday? 4 indie games is quite funny, especially given E33 is gonna win. Could see Blue Prince, Split Fiction, or DK not making it, with BP the least likely, but idk what you'd replace with.

What's weird is I don't know anyone who thinks even concrete, video proof of him committing sex crimes would actually do anything meaningful at this point, so I really dunno what he could possibly be scared of? Maybe it'd be personally damaging even if it wouldn't take him out of office?
One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

The idea of a gaming PC that doesn't have 4-8 gigabytes of RAM used up by Windows overheads and copilot is really, really fucking tempting, especially when it's so small I could take it to a mate's house.

Incredibly, this is somehow worse than it sounds www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy4I...
black ops 7 ad on twitch where they sent in people to replace tsa agents so they could play black ops 7, and those guys go around sexually harassing people in a "haha funny" presentation

I think the AI voice acting thing that annoys me most is like - ye, okay, you don't wanna pay voice actors, voice directors, whatever. They're barks and nobody will barely notice them anyway. But, there's a thousand tried-and-true methods to fix this, all of which are artistically better/interesting

so, so many of my suggested posts on Twitter are people saying they're going to kill themselves, or people with fatal diseases about to die
i parachute into X/Twitter a lot for my job and obviously have chronicled the devolution but today it feels that, even outside of the realm of groyperposting the broad culture there is just like *i have lead poisoning*

idk about the EG thing but we gotta stop gamers doing the LEAVE MY BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY ALONE when it's devs they think are little uwu bean indie studios but actually they make more money than god (Embark, Larian, Valve, etc.)

While I'm pretty pro "writing in games could be better", cmon man. Yeah, dozens, they're just not all multi-multi-multi-million sellers.
Any contender for good writing in a video game besides Planescape: Torment and Disco Elysium?

"The scale of the potential payout has drawn criticism, but the Tesla board argued that Musk might leave the company if it was not approved - and that it could not afford to lose him."

I wonder what on Earth they think he's providing that they can't afford to lose.

Saw a comment about how bad that new lawyer drama with Kim Kardashian is, went to the wikipedia Reception section, wasn't disappointed. Then I watched the trailer. I've GOT to resist watching this, I can't spend time this way any more www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SVJ...
