sideburns being named after general burnsides sounds like one of those apocryphal folk legends except it's true. They're literally named after this guy

one function of capitalism is to funnel these types into positions of power, because if competent & kind people get into power they start taking from the rich and giving to the poor. capitalist leaders must be either evil or ignorant or both, only by mistake does anyone else get near power
What if we could have leaders who aren't either evil monsters or spineless weenies

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

The Metroid Prime 4 previews confirmed my worst fear: Samus never mentions the time she met Kirby in Kirby’s Dream Land 3.

Alright. I've watched a couple of Prime 4 preview videos.
I... don't really hate that guy and his scenes? The very first line with that "with Phil in a cubicle" joke hits extremely bad and all of it is a big tonal whiplash
BUT
Samus remains Samus throughout this!

I'll also say that no one hates Metroid as much as Metroid fans (everyone else just doesn't care). Few things are as annoying as Metroid bros in their 40s who start crying the second something deviates 0.1% from Super Metroid or Metroid Prime 1

Judging from the new overview trailer they published today, I'm pretty sure that Sylux is an ex federation guy and the backstory there leads to his whole revenge schtick. And that's probably also why they're amplifying the federation companions

we wanted to make samus’s experience as a capable woman more realistic, so we gave her an annoying man who thinks that he’s funny and constantly telling her what to do

we don't just need to be funding small studios to make one game, we need to be funding them to make the ones they can fuck up before they can make the ones they learn from.
The winner takes all-instant hit-meme-flywheel mentality that has completely overtaken the games industry and even #indiedev is poison.
It deteriorates the space for risk and sustainable growth, until all that's left is to to either make slot-machines or slop-machines.
