The lesson to be learned from the development of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is very similar to the thing you can learn from Baldur's Gate 3, which is that if you were exactly that group of people at exactly that moment in time doing exactly that specific thing, it'll work out for you.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but never use an outlier success as your sales benchmark.
99.99% of the time it won't work out well.
Because it's an outlier.
So, yeah.

Was playing South Of Midnight on the Xbox this past weekend, and it's a delightful game. Rarely do we see a video game with a black woman protag and majority black characters. It definitely evokes films like Eve's Bayou, Interview with a Vampire, and even Ryan Coogler's Sinners

Rewatched Batman: Forever, and I'm reminded that Val Kilmer was indeed a really good Batman. This exchange is perfect. I wish he'd continued. Also, this was the last time Batman has even been this Horny. Them Bat nipples were extra hard that night! 😭

SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me.
The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI.

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

The First Berserker Khazan so far is really dope! My favorite thing about this is that it mixes souls like and classic traditional action games. It has the fundamental mechanics of souls likes, but the EASY MODE option allows casuals to enjoy this game with a reasonable challenge

I just slayed a monster in #MonsterHunter Rise on my phone through Xcloud and #XboxGamePass this is really dope! I'm officially addicted to MH. I'm playing WOLRD on Xbox and Rise on mobile/cloud. As a new MH player, I'm hooked!

Idk... if a developer doesn't care enough to pay actual human storytellers to create a game I sure as hell won't care enough to play it.

With the video game industry in an economic and intellectual tailspin, SEGA whispers “repurpose assets, put a pirate hat on it, and tell a simple story that makes people feel something” as it backs its U-HAUL away from the money factory, cash flittering from the windows

I've put 34 hours into #AVOWED, and I've only just left Dawnshore! So far, this is my GOTY.....Its a Gorgeous game with incredible combat and exploration. So far, the story is intriguing, and I am looking forward to diving deeper. #Xbox #XboxGamepass

Yea, Disney sequels are historically bad and, at the very least, a much lesser version of the first film but still entertaining. #Moana2 falls squarely between. Very mid. I actually dug where it ended, tho. Moana 3 has to be better cause I wanna see where this story goes #filmsky
