So, I contacted Ubisoft support, and basically they at the very least admitted to using GenAI to create rough drafts for NPC dialogue which was then touched up by writers.
Now, Anno isn't exactly a story-centric franchise, but goddamnit this doesn't feel good.

A few dozen hours later, and yeah... not touching #HollowKnight for a good while. I'm tired, boss.
#Silksong is a fantastic game that is seriously dragged down by a handful of genuinely baffling choices.
Mostly it's just little things here and there, but they all add up.

Quick! What year is it!?
I haven't seen this scene referenced in like a decade. The ancient texts live on!
As an aside, I genuinely thought the premise of the show wouldn't last for more than a single episode, but it somehow works? It helps it fully embraces the absurdity.

Doom and gloom aside, finally wrapped up the #Krastorio2 mod for #Factorio today.
Had a good time, but I think Space Age really spoiled me.
Sure, Krastorio adds dozens of new toys, but I used maybe three of them. What good is two new tiers of Power Armor when the regular Mk2 is already overkill?

I was going to complain about how on the very first day of the new #anime season, we already have a show that's clearly MTL'd.
But fuck me if this isn't funny as hell:

Oh, one more thing about the art I thought was really cool that I forgot to mention:
In one of the tankobon afterwords, the author mentions how she changed the way she draws word balloons to better fit the text in translated versions. I don't think I've ever seen that mentioned before!

if you pay attention you can notice little things like her nail polish no longer reaching all the way to her cuticles, really hammering that point down.

Really? *Really?*
This is some grade S early Kaizo Mario shenanigans. It's not even any kind of expensive item either.
Game's been real fair so far, so this honestly upset me far more than it probably should. Sure, it's only a tiny setback, but it still feels really cheap and mean.

One thing that really surprised me - and something my joke of a camera butchered - is their use of lighting.
In this clip you can mostly see how the percussionists are basically just silhouettes, but the lead female vocalist was lit in such a way that she cast shadows over the entire audience.

Unfortunately my cheap ass ancient phone isn't doing this any justice, but yeah. Vibes, man.

First Titan win \o/ #MonsterTrain2
Got lucky. My entire strategy was essentially a glass cannon build. Pretty much all damage came from heavily buffed multi-hit units. A single enemy with thorns would have shut this down real fast, haha.
With that out of the way, back to Oblivio- I mean, Avalon.

Yeah, you can still do some pretty disgusting stuff in this game.
In my latest run, my hero had a fast attack of 1000x2 before I even finished the Deployment Phase. Things only got sillier as turns progressed.
Got to Endless 4. Gotta say, those Endless stages ramp up *fast*

Taking a break from Blue Prince to finally sit down with #CaptainOfIndustry update 3
Been two years since I last gave this game a shot. It leans a bit more towards the simulation side of things compared to its peers and the fact you can very much fail - spectacularly - freaks me out a bit at times.

When I got #Starvaders, I expected a cool little turn-based roguelite deckbuilder with bopping music.
I was not expecting surprise chess. Finally, all those classes I took when I was like 10 are paying off!

Man, I want a new #ArTonelico made in a modern engine so bad.
Hell, you could even give it the #ClairObscur treatment and have the QTEs in time with the Reyvateils' Song Magic.
Gust, plz. Invest some of that Ryza money into this. I beg of you.

Perks of working at a thrift store: getting first dibs on the stuff people bring in, like this cool boy:
They're €250 new. I got to take it home with me for 12.

Me each week when #ApocalypseHotel airs
It's this weird hybrid between the likes of Aria, Girls' Last Tour and Humanity has Declined, and I'm loving every second of it.
Can't wait to get emotionally devastated by the end.

Oh why hello there. Don't mind if I do.
Apparently it pays to pay attention while traveling in the deep dark voids of space.
Really ought to slap some S-mods on this bad girl, but I'm way too afraid to accidentally put something bad on her, haha. Gotta skim the codex first I guess. #Starsector
