sometimes people ask me "what does based mean"
it means i have heard of it
so when you say "keroro gunso loco roco crossover art" that's based, because ive heard of those things

when people are assessing “why a game failed” we’re already examining the failure through a capitalist lens. and that sucks for sure.

i only mean to say that we can zoom in further to assess how to survive the industry. im speculating here but it seems like 2XKO was hemorrhaging money hard.
February 12, 2026 at 1:25 AM
in fairness I do think 2XKO had some immediate content problems that harmed it specifically. obviously we don’t have solid numbers but other fighting games are succeeding

it seems like a combo of lack of character variety and exceedingly unrealistic expectations by riot wounded it substantially

saw No Other Choice last night and it was super beautiful. fantastic use of color. super creative captivating imagery, awesome sets, before even considering any other aspect of the movie, it’s just spectacular.

also one of the best scenes ive ever seen 1/3 of the way in.

hugely recommended

i don’t get the sense the writer of this article was being dishonest purposefully, but ai peddlers are liars. they lie about the proficiency, ability and scope of their products 24/7. you can’t allow their bullshit to seep into your mind. genie is impressive but it can’t make a fun video game

i think “near identical copies” is a bit of a fucking stretch. i wouldn’t call a multi second latency blurry slow empty landscape with no intention or goals a “near identical copy” of mario 64

this language isn’t imprecise so much as it’s completely misleading.

I remember when chatGPT was first getting attention, i asked it to describe why arceus is the worst pokemon in the words of an eight year old and it replied

“arceus is the worst because it’s just a big stupid horse.”

i laughed for half an hour

“The vast majority of people will never see age verification.”

I don’t care if the “vast majority of people” won’t see it, I look at NSFW media on discord, im gonna fuckin see it

all the best AAA game companies established their colossal brands with a smaller scale dedicated team building what they wanted to play

go indie. go AA. don’t let your hard work get mulched by these rats

if anybody can afford to give 2XKO a fair shot, establish it, give it time to find its footing, it’s riot. they are made of money

instead we’re just butchering a really cool project because it didn’t hit iron man numbers (something anybody could’ve told you this genre could NEVER have done)
February 9, 2026 at 11:03 PM
2XKO is a good fucking game. it feels good in the hands. it has gorgeous art and deep moment to moment gameplay. it’s development was a triumph

it could’ve been a meaningful investment for riot, but instead they’re choosing to rely on their two explosive hits.

stupid and meaningless
