The truth is that software ate the world and people are not enjoying being digested. As a class, people who make software have facilitated two decades of mounting atrocities against people's privacy, safety, and sanity. They were also on the vanguard of multiple stupid and harmful fads.

The games industry is obsessed with data and market trends. It's not even about this genre vs that, or single player vs live service. The suits in charge need to reconnect with the thing that players actually want:

i had the exact same flickering issue on linux but for whatever reason it seemed to mostly stop after the tutorial area. still happens occasionally but not nearly as much

i finally got around to implementing character sprites, therefore, Error Joseph is now real and can jumpscare me

(sprite @yummypillow.art who put an unreasonable amount of effort into this)

it's too bad they fucked things up with the excessive bloom and weird lighting, because the QOL changes like the faster sail were actually pretty nice

yeah I feel like it's meant to be a "subtle" class signifier lmao

those are so fun! i love all the straps!!

there are a lot of paths to compellingly being in a created space, and modern AAA went extremely hard on a certain narrow notion of graphical fidelity and a certain testing methodology, and many, many things were washed out of the realm of what is perceived to be possible by this.

I know this is corny to say but this is the real America, man. This is what it’s all about. This is what those freaks are trying to destroy & we won’t let them

traveling on via rail for the first time to get out to toronto for the holidays and every time I travel by train it's remarkable to me how much less stressful it is than plane travel

A generation of programmers who've gleefully deskilled these fundamental skills of "paying attention to detail" and "using those details to construct a mental model" is a generation of programmers who can't fucking program.

Anyway. This is the gaming industry's consumer base's view on a technology that a bunch of people in the industry insist relentlessly is "here to stay" and we "have to accept"

"This is a little bit of proof, that you shouldn't be afraid to dig deep into your own lived experiences and culture for video games." –– Remy Siu, #1000xRESIST creative director.

current news has me thinking about the Lake House Alan Wake 2 DLC where a bunch of out-of-touch scientists can't figure out why a bad writer like Alan Wake can evoke emotion from people but their gigantic room filled with automatic typewriters only creates slop that kills you

une attaque visant un chauffeur Uber musulman à Montréal ravive les inquiétudes - Le Conseil national des musulmans canadiens met en garde contre la montée de l'hostilité envers les musulmans et exhorte les dirigeants à condamner les attaques

ON PEUT NOUS EXPLIQUER POURQUOI AUCUN MÉDIA QUÉBÉCOIS NE PARLE DE CETTE ATTAQUE ISLAMOPHOBE ?

my wife and I have been playing through it this past week and I literally can't stop saying "this game is so fucking good" out loud every 5 mins 😆

The annual 2023 figures for US ped / cyclist fatalities from collisions with motor vehicles are about 7,300 / 1,100, respectively.

The US is so built around car use that drivers are enraged by policies that add friction for them. They will harangue elected officials about it until they relent.
