I don't even play the games, but I'm very, very nervous about it being an Avengers style live service game. The trailer just gave me those vibes.

Yeah, it was MbkkssTBhz5 on Twitter

The game also requires internet connection offline... because the texture smoothing is streaming technology:

A lot of comments were complaining about her being a woman in general, not realizing she's been a main game protagonist since likely before many of them were born.

First one I've done in less than a minute.

I dunno if I did something wrong but, I went out of my way to recomplete FF7 Remake + the Yuffie DLC when I got my PS5 and the bonuses still don't appear on Rebirth

Do you still have the save files and claim them in the DLC / Bonuses section of the system settings?

Imagine telling Phil Lamarr he isn't invited to the cookout.

I literally didn't even notice any overabundance of women or people of color. I was just looking at the games.

Hey now, I am excited for Astro Bot. Astro's Playroom was super fun, but was only a 5 hour glorified tech demo. A full game sounds great.

The PSVR game Rescue Mission was a full game, and it was one of the best platformers I've played in the last 20 years. I'm glad they're making another full standalone game that's not tied to VR tech.

I drink 2 cups, two scoops of grounds each, however much that is.

yeah, a state of play. they also have showcases, which state of plays are not.

Dude, it's just a name. They're both showcases.

That was a stellar showcase.

This game is probably the most justified "take however long you need" for long development cycles

Yeahhhh, Debra Wilson.

She's in damn near everything now.

Is this show for Xbox exclusives or just games?

Some are exclusives, some aren't.

I always feel like the pachinko thing is overblown. It makes up a small part of Konami compared to mobile games and Yu-Gi-Oh.

Well, that song certainly is a choice for TESO.

Smashing Pumpkins?! Lolwat?

I wouldn't even apologize Larian, why would I apologize to Konami?

It's had one

great for customers, not so great for the devs though it seems...

It works for indie devs. But for big budget games, it seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

People still play sea of thieves?

Almost 20,000 as of a half an hour ago.

Whats going on? Why is the cutscene FPS so unbearable but the gameplay FPS seems fine?

Spider-Verse

This has been really good so far. Xbox showcases usually deliver even if you're not into Xbox

15 fps trailer. oof

I think it's replicating Spider-Verse

This looks fun

I really, really wanted to like Starfield more than I did. I hope it has some kind of Cyberpunk turnaround.

Well, that looks unsurprisingly sick.

Yeah, I beat it. Depending on a couple of other games coming out, it'll probably be my GotY.

This was simultaneously cool and also hurt my brain...

The chapter you're on now is the last one with exploration and intel. All the following chapters are pretty linear and shorter.

wtf is bluesky

Twitter-like spinoff from Meta. It was made after Musk bought Twitter, and had an exodus of its users to Bluesky when it got shittier.

Nathan Jones is in Furiosa?!

I liked most of it. Some of the individual seasons can be a little messy, but are still fine.

Games like Skyrim and Fallout NV shouldn't rank high in top gaming lists if people are only thinking modded versions of them and not the base game.

Understandable, but I've only played vanilla Skyrim, and still think it's the best one in the series.

But NV absolutely isn't. I've tried twice, and it was too janky then, and it's even worse now. I'd rather play Starfield again.

It's at least B-tier breaking bad. Ruth is an amazing character

Yeah, it was definitely above average. I liked it well enough. And Julia Garner was a breakout.

Maybe? It actually sold pretty well.

LMFAO

That was bugging the shit out of me. I don't have the character, but I was wondering where the hell Iron Giant went.

The trademark is owned by Studio Khara, but two of their IPs reverted to Studio Trigger since its founder created them when he was at Gainax.

https://www.ign.com/articles/neon-genesis-evangelion-anime-studio-gainax-goes-bankrupt

Gainax, the Japanese anime studio behind legendary series Neon Genesis Evangelion, has gone bankrupt following years of financial mishaps.

As reported by Automaton, Gainax announced on June 7, 2024 that an application for bankruptcy filed on May 29, 2024 had been accepted by the Tokyo District Court. The studio is now defunct, though the Gainax trademark is now owned by fellow anime creator Studio Khara.

Gainax is best known for creating Evangelion, a sci-fi series about a post apocalyptic Tokyo and the mech-piloting teenagers charged with saving it, but is also behind Gurren Lagann, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, and more.

The studio filed for bankruptcy because former executives treated it like their private property since around 2012, according to a notice on Gainax's website. Financial and management issues have been an almost integral part of the studio's history, however, with several high profile incidents throughout the years.

Signs of struggle date back to 1992, eight years after its 1984 founding, when a sequel to its most successful release to date, Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnamise, was cancelled due to production issues.

An opportunity to right the ship arrived in 1995 when Gainax released instant hit Evangelion, still considered one of the best anime of all time. But Gainax was dishonest about just how successful the anime had been and was soon found guilty of tax fraud, with the company president and tax accountant arrested and jailed for concealing 1.56 billion (more than $10 million by today's conversation rates).

Gainax found itself sued by myriad companies and individuals over different financial matters in the following years, including in 2016 by Studio Khara, which was founded by Gainax co-founder and Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno. The Tokyo District Court ruled Gainax must pay back a 100 million (around $643,000) loan from Studio Khara.

More legal trouble came in 2019 when representative director Tomohiro Maki was reportedly arrested for committing indecent acts against a voice actress and the following year was sentenced to two-and-a half years in prison, according to Anime News Network.

Strands #97
Beat the heat

As someone who watches only English dubbed anime, I can't imagine watching a dubbed live action movie.

Pretty much what a lot others have said. When people say comedy is dead, they're looking at movies. But the medium has just shifted away from that.
