There were rumors that Itagaki was drinking heavily around last year. Also tied in to other rumors about other Japanese indie developers but I'm not going to air dirty laundry here

Honestly he could have drunk himself to death. Mostly worried for his family, he still has two young daughters :(

Oh yeah if you think about it the comparison between The Room and D3rd is much more appropriate than it looks the first time

Pleasebury Doughboy ✨ @plsburydoughboy.bsky.social · 55m

Unironically a fan of Devil's Third, that's my video game The Room. I regret never getting an Xbox to play Itagaki's games there, but I grew up with his DOA games in the arcade and Ninja Gaiden Devil's Sword

Thanks for the memories sensei

It would be interesting if Call of Duty Finest Hour came up on GameCube Virtual Console now that I think about it

Pleasebury Doughboy ✨ @plsburydoughboy.bsky.social · 1h

The GameCube disc size issue is honestly exaggerated. Nintendo could have made deals to subsidize and all that. Games can come in multiple GameCube discs too
GTA, Final Fantasy

Also everyone forgets that GameCube did get a lot of great 3rd party

Timekillers, RE4, SoulCalibur II, it even got a COD

There was a lot of small things working against Nintendo at the time, but basically the work Iwata put in to entice 3rd parties that almost helped the Gamecube did pay off for the Wii

Between Yamauchi and Iwata Nintendo was still trying to figure out the best strategy to deal with 3rd parties

Square Enix backed down from dropping Nintendo because they had a lockhold on portables, but their strategy on exclusives were not working out

And they couldn't convince more to jump in

This cannot just be about healthcare. The existing constitutional system hangs in the balance. The rule of law is now baked into this shutdown in a huge way.

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum expanding his administration’s authority to repurpose unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown, escalating his challenge to the authority of Congress on spending matters.

Trump Signs Memo Expanding His Authority to Spend Federal Money

The president gave Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wide authority to repurpose funds to pay members of the military without approval from Congress, which has the sole constitutional authority to decide federal spending.

It would have actually been better if he admitted he shocked Kaya and apologized for it the first time

Pleasebury Doughboy ✨ @plsburydoughboy.bsky.social · 4h

OK, so today Hasan said Kaya wasn't even wearing the collar on the day. That's so easily proven wrong if you look for the VOD

This is the biggest contradiction in Hasan's explanation for the incident, in what is already a POG sized stack

I'm not calling him a liar but how can anyone believe him

Honestly if you want to see everyone signed to WWE used and booked to enjoy them at their fullest, TKO needs to make five shows

AEW needs to make three or four shows

That's just how much talent is working in either of those companies. Food for thought if promotions should have dream rosters

Also AI models have been getting improved so that they don't use as much electricity and water anymore, like blockchain

If you don't know about this, surprise! That's your filter bubble

Pleasebury Doughboy ✨ @plsburydoughboy.bsky.social · 7h

This may turn out to be the permission structure for AI models. All the generative AI we've been spoonfed will go away out of social expulsion

BUT the real underlying technology, AI models, are not going away. And most people will think 'the evil is defeated' because they don't understand all this

It's so funny that everyone takes a screenshot of the D'Angelo Red Dead Redemption 2 story but their summary is always wrong

D'Angelo did not playtest the game because he was writing a song

IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND

He called in a favor to get into Rockstar and then showed up to play every day

Microsoft's real goal in working with ASUS, Lenovo, and whoever else comes out of the woodwork is to make them do the hard work so they don't have to pay for all the innovation this time

Pleasebury Doughboy ✨ @plsburydoughboy.bsky.social · 7h

If the goal is to make a $ 500 portable that can run Xbox, they can't make it right now because AMD isn't catching up to Nvidia's mobile gaming chips fast enough

Valve, Microsoft, probably Sony too, they're all waiting for AMD to get on the Switch APU's efficiency level with more performance

Unless Phil's higher ups fuck something up I fully expect Microsoft to make their own dedicated Xbox handheld a few years down the line and promote it as the real Xbox portable
