I’m feeding the troll one last time:

We’re upset with this person in particular because they’re a goddamn hypocrite, who would absolutely immediately use the same tools their bosses use to spy on them if the tables were turned.

Now I don’t want to see or hear anything else from you. We’re done. You have your answer, you’ve gotten your answer with almost every single reply to each of your comments in this thread.

Go away.

You’re the one who’s deleting comments and leaving new ones, just so I keep getting notifications, thereby harassing me.

Just stop.

I’m not “going after” anyone. Nor am I siding with any billionaire or CEO.

I’m specifically saying that these coders and other tech people who are deep in the know, continue to use AI regardless of the environmental and social impact; they’ve made their bed, and now they need to lie in it. I have no sympathy for them for saying “hey, I don’t like being surveilled at work, but it’s totally fine for others to do it.”

So I shouldn’t be rude to the person who’s using AI regardless of the fact they know what the impacts of using it are?

And I say “fuck em” until they actually change their stance and views. People might say “oh you need to be tolerant and patient and teach them the error of their ways,” but these are the people that know damn well the impact AI is having on literally everything but they’re still just going “whee! It makes my job easier for 5 minutes!”

So, fuck em.

While there are a lot of multiplayer games on Gamepass, there are still tons of single player games on there that are worth playing.

Plague Tale, Psychonauts 2, I’m pretty sure most Elder Scrolls past Morrowind are available with GP too.

You son of a bitch…

I’m not a fan of meme trailers either (unless it’s actually a meme game, like Crab Game), so I think it really helped that I first saw the trailer without sound, so all I had were the captions and gameplay clips.

The ad trucks that currently drive around are basically just moving billboards. I don’t think they even have lights, aside from a few light strips like RGB, those aren’t really that bright and more or less blend in with the rest of the neon on the Strip.

These are going to be at eye-level, and I can guarantee they’ll be almost as bright as those fuck-ass billboard screens we’re seeing pop up more and more. So just imagine having to be stuck next to that at a light, or waiting to cross or even just generally driving by.

Tainted Grail honestly would probably be the closest feeling to a Bethesda game. I’ve played it, and it’s really fun. The magic feels good, but the two-handed fighting feels best imo, super beefy. It’s not quite as open as a Bethesda game, but there are plenty of choices, things to do and collect/craft, all kinds of little side quests to give you a good view into what life is like on the island.

Another person brought up Lantern of the Laughless Saint, which is currently in development and I don’t think there’s a demo yet or if there will be. It does look pretty fun though.

There’s also Sword Hero which is also in development by a single dev, but there’s a playable demo on steam and it’s looking like it’s gonna be pretty big. There’s directional physics-based combat, where if you turn your camera into the swing of your weapon you’ll do more damage, and you can target individual limbs; I believe it’ll have a semi-persistent world where people will remember if you’ve pissed them off before; it has Kenshi-like lore, where they live on a ringworld that has advanced technology around the place like automated medics and prosthetic limbs (there is dismemberment and you can lose your limbs); dragons and other fantasy monsters. Honestly it looks like it might be my next most anticipated game.

Edit: there’s also GreedFall by Spiders (which just went under, so who knows how long their games will stay listed) and I really liked it. It’s third-person, and it plays a bit more like a mix between Dragon Age: Inquisition and a third-person hack-n-slash, but I got really drawn into the world and story as imo it just felt incredibly unique and something I hadn’t really experienced before.

I loved Wildlands; not necessarily the multiclassing, but the fact it was just Borderlands in a fantasy setting, and they made it work. Really well, imo.

A game I like that has multiclassing is Kingdoms of Amalur. It’s pretty arcade-y and kinda simple, but it’s also just really fun to play.

These are gonna be all over the Vegas Strip.

I mean I only know about it because I saw a couple ads on Instagram, then I watched the sponsored (by Sony/Saros devs mind you) Iron Pineapple video.

It looks cool visually and seems like it’d be fun once you get into the flow of the game, but it’s PlayStation exclusive and I’m not really a bullet hell person.

In the meantime, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is goddamn amazing and there’s a “sequel” being made called Hyperfunk

Or a teen from Instagram who thinks he has nothing to lose.

Because in this day and age, they kind of don’t have anything to lose. Especially if our dumbass fucking president gets his way.

This is one of my favorite game development companies, even if I haven’t played every one of their games.

Psychonauts left that big of an impression on me when I was a kid.

Neither did Psychonauts 2, imo; even though pretty much everyone who played it agrees it’s a damn near masterpiece just like the first game.

In a similar vein, Vintage Story too.

Rainstorms can last actual in-game days, there are lightning strikes (and a world setting for lightning starting fires), dark clouds, the whole deal.

It’s very atmospheric.

They didn’t really remake it so much as oort the terrain map and textures into Elden Ring
