I don’t know about others, but when I’m getting an indie game I want to know that my money is going to them and not just throwing money into a subscription with no way of knowing how much the devs get

I’m just a little sad at the idea of having to abandon every online space because tech bros refuse to turn off their plagiarism machines. The internet is not all good but there’s a lot of little places where things shine through that wouldn’t be feasible in real life

But how do you prevent those smaller spaces from being encroached on by LLMs? If they can write fake reviews they can write fake user profiles, and small spaces often have tiny mod teams that can’t react quickly to rapid nonsense machines

I tried this game on the Wii U because I wanted to run around in a mech, but I bounced off the combat hard and never even got to the point where I got a Skell. Any tips for combat?

They want cultists though. Easier to exploit

The only real source we have is the union, as TCGPlayer/eBay are not going to talk about it.

Their Bluesky account currently has the same info, but maybe more will come out

The card art for this one was only used for serialized Elesh Norns so the number is just whichever one Scryfall managed to get scanned

What in the AI hell is that image?

Did some more messing around in Cassette Beasts after the update and worked on Neo The World Ends with You after not playing for a while

Though I’ve been seeing a lot of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and man does it like good. If I get some more free time this month I definitely want to pick it up

Wish their voting habits would follow that lead as well

As a Forza Horizon fan my curiosity is piqued. I like being able to shift vibes from an intense race to just cruising around the landscape, and Mario Kart is a very different style of racing so it’d be a very different experience

MTG JP is doing a special summer promotion with The Wanderer and they want to advertise it. Japan is a huge market for CCGs but it’s also very competitive so they get special promotional stuff like this pretty often

Knew I recognized that. This art was used for the Magic card Twinflame Tyrant

People are reading the headline and assuming they’re talking about older single-purchase games, but the article is actually referring to mostly MTX-driven games that get continuous updates.

And the data further shows, in Newzoo’s own words, that these 908 million “PC players are heavily skewed towards older, live service games.”

Remember that even things like Rocket League are about a decade old at this point, and games like LoL, Dota 2 and CS:GO are even older

Except they haven’t actually backed that up with a way for you to jump servers. If the central Bsky server goes down, it takes the network with it. Until they actually let other people host, it’s just meaningless posturing. Without a way for people to leave their network you are as captive there as you are on Twitter

Izumi is the best Pokemon

I feel like the opposite, while Opal was the straw that broke the camel’s back here, there are a lot of less powerful decks that heavily depend on it (Affinity, Asmo Food, Lantern Control, Hardened Scales, Hammer Time) whereas Breach is really only necessary in Breach combo decks. It occasionally gets used in Prowess or Ruby Storm but more as a flex card. It’s also just a busted card banned in several places anyways, it’s not like it’s a fair card taking the fall for something else.

I feel like it worthwhile to at least see if Opal can stay unbanned without Breach in the format, and if it continues to be a problem hit it on the next list

This deck isn’t living past March 31. The question is, what’s going, Breach or Opal?

It’s literally worse than piracy, since the AI companies are also trying to sell shittier versions of the works they copy from

Like selling camrips except done by multi-billion dollar companies ripping off individuals and stores are trying to put them right next to the original DVDs in the store

So according to Republicans the FCC shouldn’t have the power to regulate net neutrality but it should be able to force streaming companies to carry specific programming.

Time for some Satanists to start some public broadcasting?
