For the folks at home:
AAA is published by gigantic companies like Activision, EA, Sony. Nintendo is in here too, though they are maybe on the smaller end.
AA is when a game has a dedicated publisher, but its not one of the big dogs. Smaller budgets and teams, but still a solid financial backing.

You know that funny item you get in elden ring when you hug the lady at the start of the game, and having it in your inventory reduces your max hp? I feel like that's having tiktok on your phone

Out of nearly 100 qrts, there was EXACTLY one that rightfully called out this article as clickbait and provided a contextual screenshot of what they actually meant
This isn't Gen AI, nor is it a misinformed executive. It's the same team that weathered the CGI boom saying they're ready for round two

For those miffed at Analogue, I'll just say, if you're willing to put in a little prep and don't need to play on original carts, for less than the cost of a 3D, you can own a 100% Mister-compatible clone FPGA board that emulates plenty of systems, including the N64. It's what I have and I love it. 💪

incredible to think that in about two week's time, the entire games media ecosystem is gonna have to stop what they're doing and revise their goty lists when sting puts saturn baroque in a box that you'll be able to buy at a store, in person, for the first time in nearly three decades

I like Beelstarmon a lot, but she is a tad boobalicious. If they toned her down a bit, I feel like the outfit is honestly fine.
This person's fanart is pretty good, I think there's a lot of points between this and official that would be good spots to land on

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.
They're AI-generating the music here.
Fuck that.

The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

Rewatching Violet Evergarden, and my main issue with this series is that some episodes beautifully hit you with the full brunt of the tragic human experience
But then other episodes feel like an 8th grader writing "da saades stowy evor"

The 3D not having openFPGA for an N64 core or support for my Everdrive is making it really hard to do the one thing I wanted to do, which is play Hero of Law

Back in High School, I tracked down a used copy of Metroid Prime Hunters ds at a nearby Gamestop while my family was on vacation, because I had lost my original copy somewhere...
In 2025 I buy another copy on ebay, because I again lost it somewhere... how does this keep happening
