I deleted my account after reading the article they officially released…Chat apps won’t get my phone number or ID, they get hacked and compromised too frequently for me to trust it. It’s total bullshit that they are pushing this shit on the world after trialing it in the UK and Australia. Discord can get fucked, it will suck that I can’t follow the development of games that rely on Discord instead of forums or proper fucking documentation sites. Hopefully, more indies will stop relying on Discord (it’s a rotten crutch) and go back to utilizing Forums in general!

Damn, I won’t be buying games on GOG at all until they fully course correct into a better state of being. I will be downloading all of my installers that I care about, because if things are this desperate, they might not have long.

Thanks to this article, I’ve put ANLIFE on my ignore list, as AI-driven games don’t interest me. That headline is horrible, but, it could be parsed after thinking about it. IGN needs to proofread their headlines before publishing. I do agree with Hayao, AI/LLMs are an insult to life, and creativity given the current push to steal the works of artists and spit out slop. Robbing people of the joy of creation, which would make life truly hollow.

This is old news, as the optional ML/AI components have been added to the installer as an opt in, thankfully they understand that there aren’t a lot of people that want LLM garbage. However, it still rubs me the wrong way that they’re playing with the tools that are used to parasitize open source projects and even spam them with slop.

I’m all for Chappell Roan…I’ll stick to her music and not in-app purchases that support Tim Sweeney in any way, as he’s a cursed human being.

ROFL Investors are like distracted toddlers that are so easy to sway. This is so stupid, I can’t wait for the bubble to pop and we can return to some semblance of normalcy.

I think Morrowind is one of the best games that Bethesda has made in terms of being the following: Weird, has a fairly strong story that makes you think about what it means, characters misremembering directions, hand placed loot. It’s a game that I keep revisiting and love it to bits, I still need to explore some storylines; combat might be the weakest part of the game, but, I adjust after starting yet another replay. It’s also one of the amusing games to pull off serious cheese in, as there is no upper limit. It also makes combat trivial if you cheese just right, but I consider that part of the fun.

Not yet, there are plans for a more expensive console/PC hybrid that Xbox division has hinted at being a thing soon; Not that anyone would probably buy it given the Steam Machine is on the horizon this year. Since Microslop has a proven track record of failure post that one time they peaked, I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually give up on console sales. They always piss on their success and never learn anything from their flops.

Aw yeah, I will be losing a lot of hours and pumping them into this game…I dunno if Hytale can compete with such a bit update!

LMAO The only way they could truly be gamer friendly is jettisoning the inept CEO and Executives, hiring individuals to fill positions of power that ACTUALLY understand what gamers want. One of the core problems that Ubisoft has is they are so out of touch with what gamers want and need from their games! All this restructuring, RTO mandates, and other cost cutting strategies is just going to fuck them up even more. The good news is, we might get more talented former Ubisoft devs making amazing games and Ubisoft itself ceases to exist as a company.

The Parkour and Fighting challenges were so much fun in the original game and Dying Light 2; it gave me an objective to follow post game, trying to improve my parkour and combat skills. I hope that they do bring them back at some point.

As for running over the Infected, yeah, it’s fun especially when you unlock the skill that increases truck durability! Suddenly stopping and running over virals that fly off the truck is also super fun.

Yeah, I wish they’d almost went with a fast travel mechanic with safe zones, instead of the truck mechanic. Since Safe Zones are sprinkled just right across the map, and grant you access to most of the world. Though, I do feel the driving immerses you in Castor Woods and makes it easier to cover massive distances.

Projectile Retrieval is a mixed bag for me, sometimes I could retrieve just about every crossbow bolt I shot. Other times, barely any of them can be retrieved, especially in stealthy situations you should get more back. I find it deeply annoying and that needs to be tweaked; I also liked to reach fairly high spots and rain hell on the Infected. In most cases Dying Light 1 basically gave you all your arrows back; Dying Light: The Beast it feels closer to 30% of the time, you get a projectile back (I ran a crossbow).

Dying Light: The Beast is a continuation of Dying Light’s story, it’s set a year after Dying Light 2. It was a supposed to be a DLC, but the scope quickly expanded, and Techland decided to make it game instead! There is Co-Op with friendly fire, but there isn’t specifically a PVP mode. Dying Light always leaned towards Players VS Environment, despite having friendly fire enabled during Co-Op sessions.

Eww, that’s the worse trade that one could possibly do. ROFL Given how much of a fail “AI” is at the moment, they could never deliver anything substantial with such a trade.

Good make these fuckers lives miserable, as they fucked around now they get to find out!

Yeah, I used to be the pleased Pixel owner that got fast updates, until one burned me. My device wasn’t bricked, but it was dizzy as fuck post update. Google later fixed the issues it caused, but, I stopped jumping on updates until at least a month passed by. The same with Windows, and occasionally I will pass on an immediate update on Linux (most distros I use are solid). Apple had their fair share of stinkers though…I lived through a few of them. It wasn’t fun, as Apple has absolute control over their iOS software and still failed to make a viable update in many cases. That’s what made me more patient and wait until my device was literally begging me to update.

Now that I have my grubby hands on Android 16 on the Galaxy 25 FE, I can be absolutely patient for updates going forward. Fast updates do mean more mistakes are going to be implemented; some of which can kill your mobile computer.

I think Samsung’s reasoning is sound, Google sometimes like to play loosey-goosey and break things with updates. I prefer that Samsung tests all Google Play updates before deploying them for their various models. It’s great having a filter against potentially stinky updates that break things. We aren’t on Arch, no need to move too blazingly fast (unless there is a problem that requires urgent patching).

They never will give us a convincing reason for those firings; which is why we shouldn’t buy Rockstar Games and support the devs if they set up Go Fund Mes!
