It’s a bit fun to imagine that. People of the future playing a game that would be sci-fi to us, but really to them it’s like Oregon Trail.

Joke?

By the time they launch, they’ll have a game with 8k textures and everyone else will be releasing games for Star Trek’s holodeck.

Konami is more about ruining everything they have the rights to, but I guess that makes them kind of complementary, yeah.

Because of the nature of generative AI, anyone selling it is in the mindset of making money out of stuff they had no rights to.

By that definition, it’s a massive crossover whenever McDonald’s does a pokémon happy meal. These may be popular IPs, but that’s not like there aren’t stuff like that all the time.

That’s a massive crossover?

It may not be what that person meant, but, I kinda agree it might be a factor. The free experience has done nothing but become more and more terrible on youtube. The ads have become truly insufferable, and the UI is actively working against you. TV app in particular is borderline unwatchable.

I have always watched YouTube for free, and I am at a point where I am considering ditching the thing completely, because I am not paying another (quite expensive) subscription for it. I haven’t yet, but it has certainly slowed down how much I watch.

It’s so bad it’s even questioning some uses I had for the platform. I used to watch a video while I eat, stuff like that. What’s the point if I barely make it out of the initial ad tunnel just before dessert? And when I pause for just a minute to get something, I am immediately hit with another ad break as I resume?

Why are they even assuming someone would want to impersonate meta Zuckerberg?

Switch still have them. Of course now some publishers on Switch 2 are shitting on the very concept of cartridges by making empty carts that are just keys to download the game.

Reminds me of that time I tried to play a Monster Hunter game, specifically MH3 on the Wii.

I was like “what the fuck are those controls? How am I supposed to hit those remotely efficiently?”… To which people answered with the ridiculous crime against ergonomy called “the Claw Grip”. That was the last straw and I decided the game wasn’t for me.

I am guessing they mean “progressive” as in “including technical progress”, not progressive social views. And, no it’s not either. It’s just marketing around the latest way to sell their image to advertisers.

Golden Axe : The revenge of Death Adder stealing voice clips from Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a bit less crazy than the death row inmates urban legend, but, still, what the fuck were they doing.

Then again, there was also the mess of unlicenced copyrighted characters in Revenge of Shinobi.

It was really another time.

They tried to make this a thing once :

If Disney did this, they’d probably just poison the birds so they die faster.

And they say physical media is dead!

Average weight for a starling is less than 100g. The whole thing with head and feathers and bones and whatever. You’d have to be very hungry to hunt that. And I suspect if you shoot at it you’d pulverize it completely.

Though cats are going to be a problem.

If you take control of enough birdhouses you can launch DDoS attacks.

Do you need five starlings to sing a pentagram?

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 became my favourite entry in the series because of how it still has light, silly moments, improbable vistas and absurd world building, but when it tries for dark, it hits hard (and to be honest it’s generally a good deal darker than the other games even from the beginning).

Previous episodes had their emotional moments, but nothing comes close to one particular scene in 3.
