Whenever the word "perk" gets said when discussing a game I'm getting a similar form of anxiety to the one I started getting from "skill tree" a few years ago

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Dark Souls singlehandedly ruined an entire genre. ARPGs used to be so varied in gameplay and mechanics but then a bunch of 4chan memes convinced every developer the best game to make is one where you spend ½ the game dodge rolling around super choreographed moves because you have the HP of a hamster

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits

This whole damn thread, man
Basically: they need to quit their fucking jobs. Do something else that doesn't involve other people, preferably in the forests of Montana or something.
Grace Hopper would slap the living shit out of them for failing so badly at their job.

This Pride has been filled with mixed emotions. For me, music helps me process and heal, as well as celebrate. Please enjoy this arrangement of Brandi Carlile and Elton John's Who Believes in Angels.

Mario Kart World's soundtrack is unbelievable, an eighty two out of ten
But I think that might be all I like about this game :( the new Grand Prix structure is unbearable.
The tracks are awesome, but you do one lap, and then you drive a mostly straight line to some other place

I'm trying to be this person, every day. Some days it's easier than others.
Giving a shit is rad, and I miss the days of it being the default.

Yo do not scroll to the end of the soundtrack by any means until youve finished Clair Obscur
Because if you do you'll find out:
- @benstarr.bsky.social sings on it
- homeboy got *pipes*

I'm begging you to play this game. You will not regret it.
But if (and only if!) for whatever reason you cannot, give this song a listen. The moment when it hits left my mouth gaping wide open.
I'll remember that moment - where I was, my sitting posture, the temperature - for a long time to come.

Rolled credits on Clair Obscur. Absolutely bonkers, unbelievable achievement. One of the greatest games of all time, and I'll eat my hat if something legitimately better happens this year

I'm in the phase of the post-con drop where I alternate between sitting here feeling bad about myself and dm'ing everyone I met in hopes that they'll still be my friend

Heart is so full from VGMCon. A brief reminder that good things still happen. If I met you or re-met you this weekend, know that you're the reason I do whatever I do with the other 364 days of the year

Rolled credits on Assassin's Creed Shadows. On the whole, it was pretty good! Some excellent moments, a few hilarious bugs here and there. Japanese VO track is highly recommended.
