i love this new trend in videogames of ‘this guy is a piece of shit and fucked me’ and then it turns out that both parties are pieces of shit

i thought subnautica devs were already named pieces of shit for somethjing in the past? oh yeah the sound designer got fired for being a bigot on twitter i think i remember now

I like how none of the generated posters feature the “glasses with windshield wipers on them” (not even the one they put up top), which is like the only remotely distinctive bit in their prompt

I can only imagine what was being said in the private slack channel when the founder of Unknown Worlds, who have at least 20 traditional artists on staff, didn’t think any of them would be up to the task of drawing a DVD cover of smirking elves.

The film has a podcast.

One episode confirms one of the accusations of the publisher, that they informally stepped away from the game to work on films. I’d probably tell my lawyer and delete this podcast from the internet

A demo for this just came out. I remember BioMenace as one of the most tricky and tactical DOS platformers. I wonder how well it has aged

lol it’s weird but this is the first time love to read the classical Nintendo outdated tech tortures the toolkit companies in the AIGC age.

I don’t get why it’s an issue that it supports FAT32, it’s not like anyone’s actually going to try using that.

you have to read the article

These dated file systems have all sorts of drawbacks over other file systems, such as the 4GB file size limit of FAT32, which leads to issues such as forcing developers to use smaller files, which can limit texture quality, or dividing files into chunks.

by supporting it it means developers must build their games to support it whether they want to or not

No one has to build their game to support FAT32 though. That’s not accurate at all.

Do you think Cyberpunk on Switch is made entirely of files under 4GB in size?

The game on PC is largely made up of files that are less than 4gb except when they’re 10gb+ (videos, audio, etc) which they absolutely can split into parts so yeah it’s entirely possible?

i dont fucken know i just read the article

Terrible news that @tacotaskforce informed me Sega Gigo 1 is closing end of August. The website informs me the land contract was up for renewal and they decided to not. Same story as Warehouse Kawasaki 5 years ago. This is Gigo with the retro floor with Police 911, Outrun 1/2, Sega Rally, Prop Cycle, House of the Dead 1-2-3-4, Virtual On, VOOT, Golgo Sniper, Pac Man with absolutely fucked horizontal only joy-nub. A lot of things I’ll never play again. Just like last year gotta get out to Akiba twice in August to play games. God last time I’m ever gonna play Police 911-2! If that’s broken I’ll probably collapse in tears on the spot. Or that weird armadillo game with @contentdeleted ! Screwed up Sega Rally with @Persona ! Maybe a 3rd SB Encounter there that I am forgetting? Or a 4th?

Fake Edit: the completely fucked Typing Of the Dead machine from the Kabukicho Square arcade that @boojiboy7 loves to remember.

I was sad Natsuge closed the first time in 2019. I was eccstatic when they reopened through Mikado in a previous Takadanobaba’s Arcade location. They are like the one place to play pinball in Kanto. Or would have been by July 31st. They always had a lot of unique cabs you just don’t and haven’t seen. They keep 1pm to 10pm hours so my chance to seem it before the end of the month is much lower. They say the machines will be distributed between Mikado’s two locations. Damn shame either way. I got to play the baseball pinball machine my family had growing up and hearing those beautiful Goltilieb Pings (maybe the best sounds on Earth) made me cry.

Outside of FAR CHIBA I think the last 3 Real Arcades in Kanto are HEY, Mikado Baba/Ike, and Amusement Center and the last one might be all UFO Catchers now. Damned to see the end. Lucky to see it at all.




In GOD’S JEANS I played Video Games.
