This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"
HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW: “.. In our in-progress research, we discovered that AI tools didn’t reduce work, they consistently intensified it.”

This is probably just another re-release. It would be weird to drop a remake out of nowhere when all leaks have been pointing towards Code Veronica for over a year now.

Falls dich die Narrative interessiert, kann ich empfehlen, online nach den CD Booklets zu suchen. Die ergänzen das Storytelling ziemlich gut.

Noch immer absurd, dass man solche Concept Alben aus Mega Man gemacht hat.

They could just stop making them for a while. Not like they have actual ideas anymore.

But man, this has me worried for Stranger Than Heaven.

every company that signs a branding deal with Harry Potter would be one thousand times better off doing the same thing with Dragon Ball

honestly killer7 and maybe No More Heroes

Honestly had A LOT of issues running this in performance mode on base ps5. As soon as too many enemies com on screen, it all goes to shit.

It helps in spotting some stuff early, but a doctor still has to look at and verify it.

Whatever shit they're doing described in the article is the usual "it just works" bullshit that makes people turn their brains off.

It also was directed by Ren Yamazaki and not Suda. When looking at the work, we need to distinguish between a game directed by Suda like Travis Strikes Again and those where he was mostly responsible for coming up with the concept.

Wir ballern uns mit Höchstgeschwindigkeit die Spielgewordene Version von ADHS auf die Netzhaut und klären gemeinsam mit Michael Cherdchupan, ob Romeo is a Dead Man der neueste Kult-Hit ist, oder uns Grasshopper Manufacture nur heiße Luft serviert.

But we barely get any of the good stuff

The German video essay and commentary scene is a fucking joke. Nearly everyone has a chatgpt subscription and looking through some articles for a few days apparently counts as research

They also all look the fucking same, because they only copy each other

If you want to know, how terrible youtube Germany is, our current meta revolves around reality tv drama. I want to blow my fucking brains out.

I really want to ask those people how they felt running through this area for like a third of the game without any combat.
February 10, 2026 at 2:49 PM
Honestly surprised to see the many overwhelmingly positive reviews about Romeo is a Dead Man. While there is a lot to love in specific areas, the core structure is a tedious mess lol

spending a decade - that’s ten years, or 12.5% of an average human lifetime - making a fighting game only to immediately go ohhhhh wait a minute fighting games don’t make as much money as league of legends and we already own that let’s fire everyone

Diese beiden Dinge auch nur ansatzweise miteinander zu vergleichen, ist wirklich Sinnbild für Deutschland.

Kein Wunder, dass Rechte es so leicht haben, weil ihnen die eigenen Regelbrüche egal sind.

Mir würde es schon reichen, wenn wir diese Säcke öffentlich durchbeleidigen und anspucken dürften, während alle es filmen.
