one of the longest-active members of the games press played over an hour of Outer Wilds and didn’t know how to translate text even though a literal pop up of what button to press to translate comes up every single time you see text. Everybody misses something
You wanna know why we're having nag line discourse in 2025? Because developers know we're fighting an attention economy war we'll lose no matter what. Players don't read, have TikTok open next to them, god forbid we are scared you miss something and then blame us for not giving you all the info.

Heard my first unironic “6-7” today, however the kid stumbled over it and ultimately blew it: “Six, sixty-seven!”

"recently, i hear some smug-faced guy named hargon is going around doing stuff. how unpleasant"
i don't know if i'm translating that correctly but this is a really good bit

Also I really question whether people who say “Metroid should have no dialogue or plot” actually played these games. Super Metroid literally starts with voice acting in 1994

One of the foundational metroidvanias was said by its creators to not really be influenced by Metroid at all! SOTN was drawing from Zelda instead!!
Of course the Prime devs didn't understand Metroid, Nintendo doesn't understand Metroid, *Metroidvanias influenced by Metroid speficically* don't understand Metroid, Metroid fans don't understand Metroid!

The video they had today for Prime 4 showed a bunch of different soldiers at various points so I’m pretty sure this guy everyone already decided will ruin the entire game isn’t there the whole time.

also the dialogue of all those people strongly suggested they won’t be surviving for long

When a major story beat in Ghost of Yotei was labeled "The Cost of Revenge," I felt relief because I am glad a Playstation game is finally covering this topic. I hope we can get some answers re: revenge, and whether it is a bad thing, and maybe even causes a cycle of violence

or they talk about "the GBA soundchip" sounding clearer or some shit
I love looking at retro handheld stuff cause I'll see a youtuber go "and you can use this scanline filter and it's like you're playing advance wars on an actual GBA!"

I understand people saying that Pokemon Z-A should have had voice acting. I personally don't think it needed it but they probably should have done the cutscenes differently if they weren't gonna do it.

Now I'm seeing people mad that the Pokopia trailer had no voice acting?? Huh?? What are we doing

Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like:

and a worker tier whose emails are like:

Dear Jim,
First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…
Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

I hope the trend of the loud repeated percussion in movie trailers ends soon. They’re even doing it in non-action movies now and it’s the same shit every time

So yeah that looks like Dragon Quest Builders to me, with perhaps a little Viva Piñata flavor sprinkled on and probably no combat
