NiaTheCat, (edited ) do games w Kevin Afghani is Mario's New Voice Actor
@NiaTheCat@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I had to do some digging on the name since almost every search engine was just throwing articles like this when trying to find a voice clip of him, he voices the statue “Arnold” in this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=myZz37olVf I think his voice will be pretty good to adapt to Mario. Here’s his IMDb page www.imdb.com/name/nm12041073/

That youtube video is gone… I’m guessing it’s “Ask me for directions Arnold”, right? That’s the only Arnold I can think of in GI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=myZz37olVfI

That’s actually awesome for Kevin Afghani because he was a lot of fun in this role. Hoping to see more of his work in the future.

Okalaydokalay, do games w Unity’s CEO is out, but that still may not be enough for developers

It shouldn’t be when they were talking about making that shit retroactive for games that were already released. Unity proved they cannot be trusted. Besides, developers should move to other engines for the sole reason of sending a message to the other guys in the industry like Epic’s Unreal Engine. Pull shit like this and you’ll lose out on the developers. Make them realize that Unity was a failed experiment and no one wants to be like them.

mycodesucks, do games w Microsoft’s Phil Spencer says acquiring Nintendo would be ‘a career moment’

They already tried to acquire them once and were laughed out of the meeting.

https://www.engadget.com/microsoft-wanted-to-buy-nintendo-145746874.html

Sure, buying Nintendo would be a win for Microsoft, but Nintendo would gain absolutely nothing from the deal. Sure, there are people like myself who loudly and rightfully complain about Nintendo's business practices, but at the end of the day, it took until THIS year for Playstation 5 to finally outsell them in a single year, and they're not even CLOSE to matching total unit sales, and Xbox is doing worse than THAT. Add to that Nintendo's software attach rate, and as much as I don't like HOW they do their business, they're WILDLY successful at it and making more money as a function of their costs than anyone else in the industry, so they can't be faulted for continuing to do what is working.

I honestly don't know what Phil Spencer thinks would be different than the previous meeting in another sales proposal today, especially given Microsoft's INCREDIBLY weakened industry market position compared to Nintendo's. Microsoft is only able to approach the idea from a position of power based on its market capitalization funded by its other businesses - in the gaming industry, Nintendo simply occupies the more advantageous market position.

deegeese, do gaming w Unity cancels town hall over reported death threats

Public event cancelled due to death threats from Unity employee to Unity Corporate.

Maybe a sympathy ploy for good PR and to give an excuse to cancel a town hall that would have gone badly.

I was thinking exactly the same, and the reason was “alleged threats”.

QuentinCallaghan,
@QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz avatar

And apparently you were right, as reported by Polygon (archive.ph/KcdoZ)

Update: San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

eleanor, do gaming w Microsoft Teams is now part of the Xbox Game Bar so you can stream gameplay to friends - The Verge

Why tho? The Venn diagram of people who use Teams and enjoy it enough to use outside of the workplace and PC gamers is two separate circles.

This is for msft employees working on game bar who can’t use discord on work computer.

ClydapusGotwald, do games w Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow

Have you all said thank you yet for the tariffs?

JigglySackles, do games w Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow

Ok. More reasons not to get one.

REDACTED,

Pretty much all of tech will see this price bump because of Trump

JigglySackles,

Yup. Still more reasons to not buy anything.

BarHocker, do gaming w Epic just won its Google lawsuit again, and Android may never be the same

Wait, is Epic Games using their Fortnite-Billions for something useful?

masterspace, (edited )

PC Gamers think Epic is the devil incarnate because they paid for exclusive games for the EGS, meanwhile they have spent the majority of their fortune on massive legal fees making a bigger impact in the world of digital anti-trust than virtually anyone else on the planet.

Allowing companies to conglomerate is the single worst thing that prevents capitalism from functioning even a little bit, and tech companies are the worst at falsely claiming that every product needs to be tied to every other product, because they can use software and continuous updates to break any third party compatibility that is created.

Rose,

I think the part about exclusives and other claims is just a way to fight the cognitive dissonance of seeing something good but having spent so much time and money on something else. Always being in attack mode distracts them and others from focusing on the problems of Steam.

bmebenji, do games w Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience

Sounds like yet another great handheld device [to install SteamOS on]!

ramble81, do games w Microsoft and Asus’ Xbox handheld appears in leaked photos

Everyone remember how janky and ugly the OG XBox was? The controller that was too big for anyone but Andre the Giant?

moonburster,

The OG xbox controller was HUGE compared to the versions you might be aware of, look up the duke if you’re not aware.

moonburster,

I know haha, I have above average hands. I really like the steam controller with the same reason and remember the n64 controller fondly

slaneesh_is_right,

That was the only controller that fit me comfortably. Ps controllers are tiny abd annoying
