I've been conditioned by years of video game promos and media publications to affiliate a genre "evolving" with it just having more action gameplay stuff
And if that's the case, I don't want RPGs to evolve. I want them to go backward. Let me kill an essential NPC and break the main questline!

If you were wondering if Borderlands 4 ironed out its performance issues in the months following its release and the ensuing patches/updates...it has not!
I can tell the gameplay is actually good but it feels bad. Just enough stutters and drops to sour the experience for me.

The Donkey Kong Country "exposed" VHS tape is a hell of a nostalgia trip but also great if you didn't experience official promo material of this time.
The attitude era and a still burgeoning video game industry resulted in some really loose stuff like this.

One of the best, and healthiest, things I've done with video games was to let go of trophies and achievements. Feeling pressured to do content, even if I didn't enjoy it or if it made the experience worse, was like force feeding myself to the point of ruining an otherwise good meal.

i see the Art side (capitalized, not-just-the-graphics-side) of games to be embedded in the creative parts of a game and thus every game is somewhere on the Art spectrum. wholly unique experiences are far and between, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t interesting tidbits inside every game.

Okay, they must be saving the Xenoblade Switch 2 updates for a surprise announcement at The Game Awards. That’s gotta be it.

Something Metroid Prime 4 related that's not about you-know-who...
The build I recently played had lots of helper text on-screen. You can turn off tutorials, which is nice, because I found that the info Samus got from scanning provided sufficient guidance
Couple of examples:
1st, with tutorial on

Two things can be true: 1.) The Game Awards are meaningless and we shouldn't take them all that seriously. 2.) Award shows of its scale DO rewrite the mainstream history of the art form, whether they deserve to or not, and its okay to care that it's so thoughtless despite having that responsibility.

I will not give in to the Expedition 33 Hater inside of me during The Game Awards season. I will simply observe it, and let it pass.

Anytime there’s a boycott on a company, product, platform, etc. it’s extremely important to actively try *not* to shame people who choose not to. I understand when emotions are high, passion can bring out the best and worst in us. Hell, I’ve done it, myself. Just know it almost ALWAYS backfires.

Here are my predictions for the Game Awards nominations coming tomorrow.
✅ I can’t believe that game got snubbed either!
✅ That’s not really an indie game!
✅ How did that game get nominated??
✅ No, Geoff isn’t going to acknowledge that thing.
✅ Those games don’t get enough respect.

Concerning!
I played the Metroid Prime 4 demo and it’s worrying. Samus has a cold and frequently sneezes all over the inside of her helmet. There’s no way to clean it so you have to wait for the snot to drip off the glass. I hope she isn’t sick for the whole game.

I was just reading a Reddit thread about Activision using gen AI “art” in the new Black Ops games and saw an AI summary of the thread offered to me by Reddit itself.
AI telling me about the problematic usage of AI.

Metroid Prime has some of the best atmosphere in video games as a whole. Really not excited to hear that 4 will have a tutorialization sidekick. I don’t mind it in Mario or Spiderman or whatever, but this is absolutely not the right kind of game for that.
