Ah, the next step of Gleichschaltung.

Reminds me of that time when Instagram went went full short brainrot where sound was always re-enabled or how the Youtube app started it last week.

Honestly? I would expect hackers to actually spread the truth here for once.

I think of Eurojank as a genre of an era that is long gone. Odd simulation games and janky indie hits come from all over the world these days while European games are critically acclaimed and steamroll award shows.

Eurojank is a nostalgic label. An afterthought. Like how the term Gothic architecture was slapped onto cathedrals later on. When I think of Eurojank I think of the late 90s to early 2010s.

And yes for every Eurojank game like Gothic you can probably find a US equivalent like Morrowind that is just as unpolished and raw. So this nostalgic cliché likely isn‘t even all that accurate. The dev has a point here. At least I think so.

I agree. It‘s the only way to actually overcome capitalism. Same rules for all is important of course.

I’m reading and odd headline about the EU and wonder if it’s the Commission again. Then I‘m reading EU Commission and think lobbyist groups, foreign think tanks and the filthy rich.

I really enjoyed Sunset Overdrive. The platforming mostly consists of skateboard-esque rail jumping that I actually enjoyed a lot.

They will use placeholders but none of these things will make them considerably more productive, I think. They use LLMs because managers got FOMO.

Oh no! The video is black for a few seconds instead of showing several ads for a minute! Whatever am I going to do???

Pocket Pal and Nintendo had to make some concessions because of it already. The Pokemon brand was probably hurt more than Palworld at this point so I doubt big N will pursue this any further. Especially since they blatantly copied Palworld mechanics for Pokopia with a Pokemon open world game that will likely copy even more on the way. They can‘t win this.

earliest representable year is 1900

(Time to set it to) literally 1984!

Wrong. The earliest date you can set it to is 1900!!! 😠

Sure but „GenZ!!!111oneleven“ in the title generates more clicks.

I mean they aren‘t totally wrong but farming games are the most low hanging fruit for high demand and low supply for traditional video games. They will only expand into genres with lesser potential after that.

I‘ll wait until the release update of Palworld to make a final judgement, but right now I think they shouldn‘t diversify their game catalog too much and focus on their core game. They won‘t be able to catch lighting in the bottle twice.

We‘re getting Minecraft Dungeons II before we‘re getting Minecraft 2.

Yes because it makes people talk about that instead of their love affair with Palantir and their passionate support for Israel.

Whoever decided to showcase DLSS5 in it‘s current form is probably getting a raise and a nice bonus for this diversion.

Playing Minecraft multiplayer in 2010 blew me off my socks and I will never experience anything as intense as that, video game wise.

Maybe I‘ll wait for the PC release to go on sale. Yeah, I know.

There‘s also the concept of swarm intelligence in that a lot of people can beat for example a chess grandmaster by democratically voting for each move. This isn‘t super consistent but it happens. Of course tech CEOs claim AI is exactly that but it isn‘t. It doesn‘t make choices like a thousand people in a chess match do. It just rolls a dice and then does some math.

What I‘m trying to say is if 99% of potential costumers says it‘s crap, then it‘s a really really tough sell. To put it mildly. And the backlash from DLSS5 has been huge across the internet.

How so? They can‘t force you to checks notes buy two 5090s to run this crap. I mean have you seen hardware prices? There is no market for this.
