mipadaitu, do scifi w Sting is my favorite part of David Lynch’s Dune

That’s true, Sting is my favorite part of DL’s dune. He played Feyd-Rautha so well.

Also, Patrick Stuart is my favorite part of dune. He was an excellent Halleck.

Kyle McLaughlin though… He was my favorite part of dune, such an outstanding Paul. Always felt a little mature for the role, but he did an amazing job none the less.

That and Alecia Witt… Man, that creepy little girl, and the oddly mismatching voice… My favorite part for sure.

Dean Stockwell…

simple, do games w PlayStation laying off 900 workers, closing PlayStation Studios London

It really is a bloodbath in the tech sector. I don’t understand where these thousands of people are even going to go considering major companies are on hiring freeze

caut_R,

My pipe dream is a bunch of new indie studios forming out of all these layoffs and kicking publisher‘s asses on sales with new competent and passionate games.

…But I guess they‘d then probably sell to those publishers again and repeat…

The largest factor is lack of capital, which is something everyone is enduring due to the SVB collapse. This is a giant recession of the entire sector and I don’t see how it corrects any time soon.

TrainsAreCool,

Some are saying it’ll correct this year, but I’m not holding my breath…

GlitterInfection,

While breathing is cool, I have some hope that it will start correcting this year or next.

The big thing is that the raised interest rates have helped to prevent a real recession. So the real question is when can they come back down. I hope it starts this year even though it’ll likely take years to go back to what they were pre-pandemic, if the go that low again.

Yeah but as the shareholders get used to companies laying off workers to “cut costs”, any company not doing it sees their shares tank. Which is Not Ok™️, so they keep firing people so the execs can pay themselves bigger and bigger bonuses over high stock prices.

And when they again need people, they'll whine about how no one wants to work for them. Or how workers are "taking advantage."

hoshikarakitaridia, do gaming w Gigantic is coming back?!

Same, I missed the beta by one day and I’m so hyped

Here’s hoping it makes a splash and can stick around this time. I feel like unfortunately there are so many good games to be playing at any time these competitive online games are so much more likely to fail even if they’re extremely high quality.

miniu, do gaming w 5 years after shutting down, MOBA hero shooter Gigantic is coming back

Cool idea to revive failed live services as non-bullshit single-pay games. So much work wasted otherwise. Could lead to some fine games :)

Rhotisserie, do games w 5 years after shutting down, MOBA hero shooter Gigantic is coming back

Hell yeah, I loved this game! Reaching the end stage and watching as your giant opened up the enemy giant for the final push was always epic.

Hope it stays alive longer this time.

I’m crying I loved this game so much, even enough to pilfer through the convoluted mess it is to join a private server lobby to continue playing. Ahh I’m so excited!

thingsiplay, do gaming w 5 years after shutting down, MOBA hero shooter Gigantic is coming back

Gigantic looks something like Smite? Is that what I am getting here? I was hoping for an Overwatch / Team Fortress clone (unironically). I really need some more competition for this type of game.

Blue_Morpho, do scifi w Frank Herbert always thought Star Wars was a Dune ripoff

Click bait. This is from an interview from before Herbert saw Star Wars.

“while Herbert hadn’t yet seen the movie, he did have some thoughts about its similarities to his seminal series,”

Although it goes on to say that Herbert continued to have resentment for Starwars for the rest of his life.

Heretics of Dune:

“He’s a three P-O,” they said, meaning that such a person surrounded himself with cheap copies made from déclassé substances.

Don’t even get me started on Fern Gully being a rip-off of Dune!

merde, do scifi w Frank Herbert always thought Star Wars was a Dune ripoff

isn’t Star Wars an imitation of Asimov’s Foundation ?

Endorkend, do games w Watch a 13-year-old become the first person to ever beat Classic Tetris
@Endorkend@kbin.social avatar

Why did Polygon include the CTWC video at the top of their page instead of BlueScuti's?

They are already stealing his views reposting his entire video with some bullshit commenting from them over the top of it and now Polygon is supporting that kind of behavior.

The kid did the work, give him the damn views.

ttsci,

Thanks for mentioning the original source! Here’s BlueScuti’s video, to save everyone else some searching. The moment he beats it is here, at 38:30.

If not for Planescape being on there I would have assumed they meant only more recent games. No Jade Empire. No KOTOR. Not even Neverwinter Nights or Fallout 1 & 2 or Icewind Dale. Let alone all the classic SSI Goldbox games or even Bard’s Tale (the original from the 80’s not that shit on Xbox).

Abucketofpuppies, do games w 14 great games to try if you loved Baldur’s Gate 3

Disappointed not to see Jade Empire on the list. Some of the best party interactions ever

Best ending dialogue to a video game ever.

“It’s time to punch a mountain… Into space!

CookieOfFortune, do games w 14 great games to try if you loved Baldur’s Gate 3

No mention of Pathfinder? I was playing Wrath of the Righteous right before BG3 and it makes BG3 seem so tiny(mechanics wise) in comparison.

GCanuck,

I was disappointed by the lack of Pathfinder. To the point where I think this author isn’t credible.

BG3 is a much prettier game. And by a lot.

But the Pathfinder games are a more immersive adventure.

Bademantel, do games w 14 great games to try if you loved Baldur’s Gate 3

They mentioned Divinity: Original Sin 2 which is no surprise. I couldn’t be bothered to finish Act 2. It’s unforgiving, takes a very long time and becomes a bit stale after a while. I know it wasn’t that way for most players. But I fear I’d have the same sentiment with Baldur’s Gate 3.
