Gotta say I’m a little shocked (naive I know) at how much AI generated art they have seemingly shoved into the new COD, I thought it’d at least be a little more subtle but they put your uncles favourite rip off Ghibli style stuff in there? In the military shoot game?

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.

My milkshake brings (3D6 + milkshaker's level) boys to the yard. For each soy milk in inventory, an extra 1D3 soy boys may be brought to the yard. My milkshake can be used when not in a yard, but only a fixed 1D4 boys will be brought, with no milkshaker's level-based adjustment.

Steam swanning into the console space, doubling as a pc and having free online play should make the other players start to sweat, especially Microsoft - no more walled garden, do what you like with the device plugged into your TV, it should shake things up!

“Anyone who thinks this is about a 12-second clip on a Panorama more than a year ago that not a single viewer complained about is not reading the proper story,” said one. “What’s going on here is much more about macro politics.”

This is how Belfast looks in Mobile Suit Gundam: EX Revue (1994)

Honestly, pretty accurate

I could do with a few more giant mechs battering each other a few miles from my house though
