Melatonin, (edited ) do games w Will Smith Zombie Game No One Has Heard Of Bombs

Will Smith is a “past” celebrity, relying on his name, infamy, and horning in on already proven commodities.

Bad Boys for Life, Aladdin, Suicide Squad, (oh, and “King Richard” lol, we’ve all seen that!)

Those are his “popular” movies since 2009. Put a fork in him. He’s done. He should enter politics.

He should enter politics.

Please don’t do this to us.

HoustonHenry,

Maybe he can go slap putin (hckkkk sppt)

CaptKoala,

Get my wife’s name out your Kremlin!

HawlSera,

To be fair Suicide Squad is something he did and passed up Independence Day 2 for believing if he was in one of these “Super Hero Movies that are doing so well” it would revive his career

And he likely would have been right… If he went with Marvel instead of the DCEU

ours,

Dodging a bullet on ID2 just to land on Suicide Squad. Ouch.

HawlSera,

Yeah I think his Agent fucked up market research

DingoBilly,

Aladdin was pretty good though.

Haven’t seen the rest.

ours,

Didn’t he try the celebrity YouTube route for a hot minute?

HopingForBetter,

Yaaaa!

ours,

That is hawt!

Oh joy another soulless zombie shooter. I have no idea why it didn’t make it

HawlSera, do games w Will Smith Zombie Game No One Has Heard Of Bombs

Maybe if you promote your game I’ll have heard of it…

Looking at you Alone In The Dark 2024

echodot,

Wait what? They’ve made another alone in the dark game and haven’t promoted it. Oh god.

HawlSera,

Eyup and with tons of Day 1 DLC too! - store.steampowered.com/app/…/Alone_in_the_Dark/

Because for some reason only things already ubiquitous get marketed these days

reverendsteveii,

for some reason only things already ubiquitous get marketed these days

the reason you’re looking for is capitalism. why would I bet marketing money on anything but the most likely big return? this is also why such a huge portion of movies are either reboots, sequels, prequels or “homages”.

HawlSera,

Yes, but the point of adveritsing is to convince someone to buy a product… if I already consume and know about said product, then what does advertising do besides waste money?

Fuck the Dorito’s “Anti-Ad” was as close as these corpos got to figuring it out

FurtiveFugitive,

I wouldn’t say 5 pieces of dlc totalling $20 is a lot. Not these days at least. Looks like they’re things you’d normally get in the “deluxe edition” of games past.

Wouldn’t tempt me to open my wallet but it’s not as grotesque as a lot of dlc these days.

It suffered a fate worse than no promotion. It was Embracer’d

chicken, do games w Will Smith Zombie Game No One Has Heard Of Bombs

I would play No One Has Heard Of Bombs, sounds like an interesting game

CaptKoala,

What is bomb?

vaultdweller013,

Something that comes with lamp oil and rope.

chicken,

Don’t worry about it, on an unrelated note here is a gift of a bulky alarm clock counting down to zero with many wires

CaptKoala,

Thank you!! I surely won’t miss my alarm with this one!

retrieval4558,

Remembering this made me turn to dust and blow away

grrgyle,

It’s a great title. Weird and evocative.

If no one has heard of bombs then no one can know the title of the game, because otherwise they will see or hear the word bombs. But I’ve seen the title. Do I even know what a bomb is? I think I do… but do I? The paradox of the bomb knowledge will keep me up tonight.

grrgyle,

QuantumBomboo how did you become so wise

EssentialCoffee,

On skimming, I’d thought it had something to do with the kpop group, BTS. They have a song called Louder than Bombs.

🤷‍♂️ if gaming helps to subsidize news coverage, that’s a good thing.

BottleOfAlkahest,

Also as someone subscribed to both, the games are way cheaper. So it makes sense that more people can afford a continuous gaming subscription through them.

Catoblepas,

The news coverage it’s subsidizing is… not always good. Article is a year old, but little has improved.

That’s the power of Wordle.

Black616Angel,

But connections is so much more fun. Wordle is a solved game unfortunately.

iamdisillusioned, do gaming w The New York Times Is More Gaming Company Than Newspaper – Data shows most NYT subscribers are playing games, not reading the news

I really feel this lately. The news is shit. My anxiety has been high so I go straight to the NYT games app instead of scrolling through the front page.

anyone writing a story set in the distant future please make NYT the dominant video game company lol

i mean nintendo did start out as a playing card manufacturer, nokia was originally a paper pulp mill, etc.

damnthefilibuster,

Yeah the Nokia thing really blew my mind!!

“Playing card” company is a bit of an understatement. Nintendo was a grey market entertainment company - playing cards were banned in Japan, and a workaround was designing the cards with those beautiful drawings instead of suits. This is also why card companies were deeply associated with the Yakuza.

Nintendo also operated casinos and love hotels, with prostitutes. In fact, they did a lot of weird maneuvering during the launch of the Famicom to tip off the Yakuza, who wanted to keep their strong ties and get early access to the hardware.

There’s a whole book about how Nintendo and Sega had some crazy connections with the Yakuza and those shaped several projects in these companies.

KreekyBonez,

so, Team Rocket is the Yakuza, and Silph Co. is Nintendo? that plot in the original games was a cry for help?

PoorPocketsMcNewHold,

Interested by that book. Heard about those individual facts but want to learn more about it !

Their next big revenue stream will be Brawndo.

Oh come on, I read the news every day! How else am I gonna win the Friday News Quiz game?

The New York Times is fighting off Wordle look-alikes with copyright takedown notices

I cancelled my NY Times puzzle subscription as soon as that happened.

onlinepersona,

They copyrighted an idea? The hell? Is that even possible? I thought that’s a patent. Is Wordle patented?

It’s a game about navigating the mission of publishing “all the news that’s fit to print” when your key demographic may not want to hear that news, or may want it softened or ideologically slanted for their comfort.

Yeah that’s not really what NYT editor Joseph Kahn or any of the other members of the Council of Foreign Relations are trying to do.

I’ve played Rocket League for more than 2000 hours since its release, but honestly I kinda felt like it was dying. Very little interesting new content, silly decisions like removing trading. I haven’t played seriously for more than a year now. It’s surprising to me to still see it so high up

vmachiel,

Same reason moms play solitaire on their phones. Just something they know to pass the time, no need for anything fancy or new.

thingsiplay, do gaming w 60 Percent Of Playtime In 2023 Went To 6-Year-Old Or Older Games, New Data Shows

I just beat today Breath of the Wild, a 7 year old game. BTW played on Yuzu since 2 months or so and have 120 hours.
