Real Calvin and Hobbes energy in the art and pacing of writing today, Tycho Brahe penny-arcade.com/comic/2024/05/… and I mean that in the best way possible.

“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men do nothing”

For the previous 2.5 months, Electronic Arts has conducted an internal sexual misconduct investigation into:

Jordan Adams - Dev Director Pl🌲nts vs. Z🧠mbies
Matthew Angeleri - Director Partnerships EAX

So, in other words, their remix engine stole YouTube content to make a machine that can compete with the content creators. Got it.

I mean.. just to be clear... Car games and sports games have had this forever, as billboards, right? Even Battlefield 2142 had it 20 years ago.

Not saying I endorse it, but it's not a new idea.

God I wish there was some format of foldable phone where the unfolded screen was large and landscape, suitable for video viewing. Galaxy Flip just... becomes a normal phone when unfolded, and Folds just become... Square. I don't know how this would happen, but that's my wish.

Shutting down Arkane is up there with the closure of Origin and Looking glass. The culture and institutional knowledge that could produce a game like Prey or Dishonored can't easily be recreated. I think those games were ahead of their time, and sequels would be monster hits now.

Absolutely aweful news. Redfall not withstanding, those are some amazing studios with talented people.

Wait WHAT? NOW?? This is not a drill?

While I'm glad there are ways for the gaming community to signal to game companies, I also think that it's fair to say steam reviews are quite easily weaponized and are not actual reviews for the games as such, but more a sentiment tracker. Should maybe be renamed 'sentiment'?

The joy of seeing a race where Verstappen got out paced, Hamilton was fighting his way up the grid and a McLaren was first over the line? Amazing!

#MayTheForceBeWithYou all.
As someone that is about to add a little something in this beloved universe… this year StarWars day is somewhat special. We will be back with more news as you can expect for all of the Star Wars Outlaws out there.

Ah yes. Famously Adobes loyal customers are the ones that couldn't fill a blank space without AI. Also the artists who's images were scraped to train that AI are surely getting paid well for every image generated based on their work?

As someone just entering the world of star wars creation, a world I've dreamed about and admired for my whole life, I want to join in saying may the 4th be with you. An amazingly passionate fandom.

People all be installing fallout this and fallout that because they watched #FalloutOnPrime

Meanwhile, me, having seen #DunePartTwo ....
